*Gracie asking about God and sin
*Madelyn telling me that she had a "patapillar" in her cereal (it was really a piece of brocolli that she found stuck to her breakfast spoon and she thought it was a caterpillar)
*swinging with Madelyn and Gracie on my lap at the park (at different times, of course)
*reading to Madelyn on our bed
*picking out pumpkins with the girls
*watching Gracie at tumbling. She loves running cartwheels!
*surviving going shopping for clothes for the girls and me
*watching Madelyn fall alseep in her swing because she didn't take a nap in her bed today
*Jim cooking on Saturdays! Today is steak fajitas!
Gracie's favorite moment of the day...making a pretend present and a pretend fruitcake.
Thoughts, quotes, and poems on raising and homeschooling 3 little women. Ephesians 2: 8-10--For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." ~William Butler Yeats

*getting a head-start by making tomorrow night's dinner while the girls played in little tubs of soapy water
*just admiring my two beautiful daughters
*thoroughly enjoying "Mommy School Time" with Gracie
*helping Madelyn with an alphabet puzzle
*rocking and singing to Madelyn as I tried (unsuccessfully) to get her down for a nap. I know she enjoys that as much as I do.
*buying the girls "Snow Wipe" costumes--I have two beautiful princesses!
*hearing Jim walk in the door after work
*reading through the books of Daniel and Revelation and remembering that we have a POWERFUL God who is in control

*tickle time with Madelyn
*Gracie's open house at her preschool. She did a great job with the hand movements during her songs, but she didn't sing. I loved looking at her journal and her classroom.
*taking the girls to a theater production of Charlotte's Web. They both loved it! And it was so funny when Wilbur the pig ran around in the audience. Many giggles! Also, the electricity went out for several minutes during the show because of a bad storm and the emergency lights didn't come on. Very interesting!
*Madelyn going through a phase where she kisses everything
*Madelyn joinnig the big girl class at church!
*reading The Trumpet of the Swan with Gracie
