Living Life One Cheerio at a Time

OKAY, what a day! Today was our very first day homeschooling. And it was a rocky start. The girls have years of  traditional school to unpack and I have my years as a teacher to unpack before this thing levels out. But tomorrow will be a new and better day! God has called us to this new adventure, this I know! He will equip the called, not call the equipped.       Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,      neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord . 9  “As the heavens are higher than the earth,      so are my ways higher than your ways      and my thoughts than your thoughts. Morning has come.... the hubs has hung my Mother's day gifts ready to go she can't read that she's not in school yet, so child 4 was happy just to hold a sign guess who helped catapult the rocky start   she avoided naptime today but as you ca...

Today is the 10th and the challenge is finding beauty in the ordinary for 10 hours. Well I always like to make up a few of my own rules and so I added a few more pictures. I am Linking up with others' beautiful days  Here ... Lunches Coffe to go First time I made eggs in a muffin tin. Loved the idea but wouldn't pair it again with a blueberry bagel. Although the mini bagel was the perfect size.  A morning game with the bus stop gang What was really going on...unfolded laundry and 3 games spread out Cbs leaders council  Heading to preschool #2's orphan socks  Updating this craft for this house Cookie social at #2's school...snicker doodles A fancy apron  Dance party A ballerina  Someone wants fancy hair for her Christmas program tomorrow 

I know its the 10th and I really should write more than just a few pictures here and there....I can't even tell you how busy its been here in Cheerio Land, but that's no excuse! So here we go a little sunshine for today on this cloudy day... making lunches breakfast joy everyday #2 needs me to write on her hands so she doesn't get weepy....love xo yes, they are on backwards....but she put them on herself proudly and really who doesn't like sparkle bus stop mom time a quick run to the library then to the allergist such a brave buckaroo happiness at McDonald's laundry always laundry Check out other's here

What am I thankful today? What did I find beautiful? I found my kids to be funny and I enjoyed them today. I also found the end of the day to be very ugly. I am very ashamed that often I get bogged down in those moments  and wished I had been more grateful  for the whole day.  Okay, so much for being real and honest there's no pictures of the pre nap meltdown or the end of the day WWF wrestling and screaming match that happened that my poor neighbors heard. Today there's only pictures of joy, so there may be a few more than 10. I have learned well from my friend Malia who likes to make up her own rules anyways! this is joy in liquid form "let's go on an adventure from Ohio to Georgia with this map " Sunday school homework....looking it up on Bible Gateway.com Little man and mommy Chips, salsa, sweet tea, & this precious girl she took this selfie daddy and little time making flubber at a birthday party bubble...
