So, this is only 3-4 days later than usual! My work schedule has been very tough to deal with. In the last 2 weeks, I've probably worked over 90 hours! I'm very thankful to my husband, mother-in-law, and friends who have helped keep us sane during the crazy....
Despite that, there are a couple of really good memories from the
week that I wanted to share. First, I re-started SOTW in order to "do
it right". I had just been putting in the CDs and moving on. For my
son, that's enough...but for Little Bit, with no history foundation in
the 3rd SOTW book, it was, well, just not fair to her. So, I decided to
actually listen with them (fortunately I
can do 2 things at
once!) and do some of the activities... This week's activity involved 10
lbs of flour... I couldn't imagine throwing all that flour away, so I
threw it at my kids! (Yes, we did this outside!) It is a lesson I have
learned...while the fun was hysterical, I STILL have flour on my
driveway and car!!! My husband is going to pay my son to pressure wash
the driveway, and eventually, we'll get the car scrubbed... But, it was
fun!!! The neighbor came out to get her mail and got a good chuckle
while snapping a picture for us!

The other fantastic memory was of Little Bit's first concert. She is my music lover, and singer. Through FB I discovered that Kari Jobe was coming in concert. Who doesn't love to sing with Kari Jobe? So, we invited a friend for a girls night out, went to Panera, and jammed with Anthony Evans, All Sons and Daughters (bought the album and LOVE it!!!) and of course, Kari Jobe... It was fun to see the girls jumping on the pews, dancing, singing, worshiping! Every song asking, when is Kari coming out?! And what a beautiful first concert. It wasn't huge like some are. It was low-key...lots of kids at the front on the floor. Little Bit was fascinated with the lights, so I know the bigger concerts will be exciting for her too. But, my friend was saying that her first concert was Cranberries...remember them? So, I was glad that Little Bit's first had such a focus on worship... several times Kari was on her knees before the Lord. Hands raised more often than not, and just speaking the name of Jesus....it was lovely!

| Sorry for the cruddy cell phone pic, but you can get the idea and see the worship in her heart! God is good! |
This week should be better as far as being on time with my update!
