Living Life One Cheerio at a Time

So a while ago I found this challenge on Pintrest . I thought it sounded like a great way to start blogging in January. I always seem to slow up towards the end of the year. So  here we go for the next 30 days to see what I can come up with for the next 30 days following this list. You should join too!

Annual cookie baking has begun. It took us a few days to finish all the fun. We rolled out dozens and dozens of sugar cookies.  Then the frosting and decorating...or as we like to refer to it as sugar coma inducing time. the VERY serious supervisor of the elves Nothing like purple, yellow, green and blue to say Merry Christmas! The frosting is thick and the toppings are too! Lots of sugary fun! Even though this may be a crazy time of the year taking time to make these memories with my kids is so worth it all. Merry Christmas to all our family and friends from the Cheerio gang!

A nagging thought. Your heart beats a little faster. You can't ignore it. You don't know where it came from or why, BUT you know who. It's the urging of the Holy Spirit. It doesn't always make sense to you  or it isn't always convenient. That was last Thursday for me. Well, lets be honest I may have been ignoring that voice for a few days. I had a plan and THIS was not working into the plan. Besides do you know how crazy Thursday's are for me? They are super busy and I barely make it out of the door alive or in one piece. I am on my way to Bible study as soon as I get the older two on the bus. I usually throw dinner in the crock pot (if I don't forget) and I have to make lunches for the littles to eat in the car ride home. I mean it is CRAZY! I was making bean soup and forgot to soak the beans the night before. This urging was just going to have to be ignored. But that would be disobedient. So I thought if I get all this stuff done I could possible do...

Ten on Ten...the day where you take 10 photos for 10 hours on the 10th of the month. Finding beauty in the everyday. Welcome to my beauty! Oh and Rebekah has recently been adding a challenge theme each month (of which I've never done). This month was Candy Cane....I made a feeble attempt! coffee....the call that school was on a 2 hour delay came early making lunch the text from the hubs who took 1 hour to get to work on a 20 minute commute 1 is organizing & and  1 is helping basement time lunch lots of snow a beaded candy cane on the Christmas tree wrapping some presents and another present some vanilla caramel love Link up to see all the other beautiful December 10ths!

I was checking my camera roll on my phone and found the kids had decided to have a little fun. Now I didn't put all 42 photos on here is just a sample of what pictures they decided were necessary. Such a funny bunch!

Today was a snow day for my kids. It was cold and blustery so we needed to make up our own fun. We did some crafts and cookies. We didn't go anywhere but Jesus came out and found himself so great photos opportunities. Jesus photo bombed the middles that were enjoying there 456th trip to time out. Always catch up on all the traveling and non traveling Jesus posts here....
