Its red hot

Well the cookie elves have landed in our house. Child #1 and I needed to make sugar cut out cookies this week. I let her pick out the shapes (Santa, snowmen, trees, hearts, and stars) and the colors for the frosting. Nothing says Merry Christmas like green, red and purple!

I got a phone call while we were decorating, but I let her keep about her merry little elf way because she's done this before and she's a pro right. Well typically sprinkles are our only extras but this year I added red hots to the decorations. And she usually exceeds the limit on sprinkle to cookie ratio.
PEOPLE THERE ARE 20-30 RED HOTS ON SOME OF THOSE COOKIES! What is the legal limit on red hots {of which she does not like}? Some have sprinkles and red hots. SOMEONE IS GOING TO OD HERE AND ITS NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY! There was even a cookie or two I couldn't get off the counter top because I didn't know where the counter top ended and the cookie began. She was way over her limit of frosting to sugar cookie on most cookies.


We wish you a Merry little-no sugar induced comas- Christmas!

A JOURNEY OF THE HEART

"No NO No NO NO No!" That was a recent entry into my journal. I was asked to do something that I without a shadow of a doubt knew it was God asking me to do it. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO! I literally followed it with 2 pages of ME telling God why I didn't want to do it and why I couldn't do it. Yes 2 pages.  Wow! I strapped on my toddler attitude and went to town. *Flashback to 1 month ago* Child #1's Kindergarten teacher, Kara,  also  attends the church we attend and we occasionally see each other at the same service. Well, one particular evening we got to talking and she asked me to join our church's version of VBS. We go to the west side {off campus} of town to the Somalian population and do a day time VBS and lunch for these kids for an entire week. Cool part, my own kids can come and be apart of the "missions trip."  What an invaluable a lesson to my kids to show love to others! Kara is heading crafts and wanted me to craft it up with her. ...

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 ...
