Jacquie at Tallgrass Prairie Studio is having a fun "get-ur-dun" April.

We're trying to FINISH as many projects as possible between now and the end of April...there's some hint about prizes too!!

Palm Sunday.

Look what finally decided to bloom! 2 years ago I moved them to a place with more sun.....we've been in this house for 6 years now and I didn't even know what color these were!!





So, our dishwasher went out. We are now washing all dishes by hand while we're waiting on the part to arrive so that Super-Hubby can fix it!

For some reason this morning as I washed the breakfast dishes I decided this was a good time to teach the boys about Palm Sunday. It being Palm Sunday and us getting ready for church and all....

So I work on telling Sonshine how Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem...how all the people had a parade for him and how they put palm leaves on the ground for his donkey to walk on. I then went and found a children's Bible (we have several) that had a good picture of Jesus and the donkey walking on the palm branches and read the story again from the Bible. Later, as we're sitting in our pew with our palm leaves waiting for Dad to show up from dropping the hooliganette off at the nursery I notice Sonshine sitting at the end of the pew "messing with" his palm. I haul him closer to me and get busy wrangling Gator for a bit. I look back at Sonshine...he's back at the end of the pew...his palm on the floor...in the aisle.




After a few minutes watching him it finally hit me what he was doing.......he was putting his leaf down on the floor for Jesus to walk on.


WHOA. some days that kid's just amazing, and a little scary.



So, what did YOU do with your palm today?

Friday Fragments and Thesaurus Thursday

From Mrs 4444's site Half-Past Kissing Time... Friday Fragments are bits and pieces of your week that are usually brief; too short for a stand-alone post, but too good to discard. Collect humorous observations, "Heard" items, and other small gems and put them together in a Friday Fragments post.






Well, due to my rather hectic schedule and your lack of participation the last month or so I'm going to put Thesaurus Thursday on hiatus for awhile. I'll bring it back once things settle down....and absence makes the heart grow fonder (which I'm hoping translates into more comments!) ;-)

Last Week's Definitions were:

eidolon - 1) an unreal image; phantom; apparition 2) an ideal

eidetic - pertaining to or constituting visual impressions recalled vividly and readily reproducible with great accuracy






20 minutes of instant QUIET cooperation..............

special thanks to Miss Whitney, who gave us this game when she cleaned out her classroom last month just because Sonshine loves to play with it so much!







child magnet:

You Are Baseball Games

You like old fashioned things. You're one of those people who values tradition. You enjoy a slow pace of life. You believe that life is all about enjoying every moment. You love the changing of the seasons, and you look forward to what each season brings. You are smart and a bit obsessive. You become very immersed in your interests.

What Part of Spring Are You?

Gone on to Glory

Please remember these two ladies and their families in your prayers:

Nicki Dolci, my cousin, age 33


Gretchen, aka AirborneMomma, Pops' wife, age 53

Both these ladies lost their lives to cancer yesterday.
Thanks
