School Supplies...Big Family Style

Yeah, this is almost all of it. Not including curriculum, of course. Matt and I went on yearly school supply shopping trip (this is actually his first year, but not mine) the other night. I had been planning it out...anticipating the excitement...it is my favorite time of the year (other than Christmas and Thanksgiving)!!!! I love to shop for school supplies. It brings me total joy to buy new boxes of crayons and tons of unsharpened #2 pencils. I must admit that I would rather school supply shop than to look for new shoes or clothes. I think it is just from all the warm memories of growing up in NY...and the anticipation of fall coming...and new school clothes and a whole new season. I know I am funny...
So, here is what I got. Tons of pencils (125 to be exact), 15 boxes of crayons (yes, and there will only be broken bits by the end of the school year), six bottles of glue and 12 glue sticks, four 1.5 inch binders, lots of construction paper, makers, colored pencils and a whole new filing system (thanks to Tapestry of Grace and all of it's curriculum changes). I am very excited and now have to bring everything together. Lesson plans will be made this next week, and I still have a few books to buy for the first 9 week literature section. So, as we still enjoy our next few weeks of time in the sun and sand...in the back of my mind are lesson plans and new books ;)

Gratitude Friday

Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
