Monkey and me {our day out}

So on Friday she met her teacher at open house. Of course her shyness kicked into full gear and she didn't even speak to her. Not even when the teacher showed child #1 her wand. She just smiled. Soon though she won't get her to stay quiet.

Then she and I headed to Kenneth's hair salon for her first salon-non-cookie-cutter-haircut. A plus was that my hairdresser has curly hair and can cut it accordingly {sounds like a great line to sell the hubs with dontcha think}.

So while we were waiting in the lobby I told her she could look at a magazine. Do you know which one she picked? The bridal one. Yep her eyes just lit up! She oooh and ahhed over the dresses especially the big-full-ball-gown-take out-a-second-mortgage-to-pay-for-type-dresses. At that moment I had to laugh. We are in serious trouble. And so is her prince charming!

She did a great job especially letting Katherine wash her hair since she doesn't even let me do that with a big fight {don't get into my eyes or ears mom!!!} Child #1 wanted it cut short so she wouldn't have to have pigtails or ponytails anymore. Sigh. She looks so cute in those! {sadface} PS she did wear the tiara to open house and the salon. She is very disappointed that I am not allowing her to wear it to school as well as all the other "fancy" things. "Fine I will just fancy up when I get home!"

Well on Monday morning child #1, me and her dad get to have a conference with her teacher. Bittersweet. My little peanut whom I could hold in my arm from my elbow to my fingers is now going to school. She will be a big kindergartner on Thursday. Stay tuned for lots of sobbing and some pictures.

My little {BIG} fear

So here's my little confession: I have big fears and little fears. But lately one particularly has been plaguing me { AGAIN }. It is the fear of being forgotten, more so being { FORGETTABLE } and indivisible. I don't know what starts it or triggers it, but it can be as simple as an email offering to volunteer for something than not hearing a reply. I guess the last trigger was a group wide calendar was sent out with {every one's} birthday on it except mine. I know that is wasn't done on purpose but my birthday is a sensitive subject to me. Its always been forgotten. Its right around Labor day and the first week of school. So in the busyness its often overlooked. Or in the case of 6th grade its not even written on the calendar. Mrs. Brotherton I think I know when my birthday is...but she still made me go to the Principal's office for arguing with her and I came back successfully with a note that I was indeed correct about knowing my birthday. I digress... I was telli...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
