Birthday recap

By -
Today is my birthday. I was awakened by the alarm at 6:05; then again at 6:11. My sweet husband got up and turned it off. He proceeded to get Luke ready for school and then they brought me breakfast in bed!! Luke was so excited he could hardly stand it! I was instructed to stay in the bed and rest until he returned home from taking Luke to school.

The girls & Paul slept until 9:00. It has been a LONG time since I have still been bed at 9:00 a.m. Then I was instructed to get ready. We dropped the children off at the babysitter and went to lunch. It has been a LONG time since we ate a meal in peace. And talked about adult things. And didn't have to escort a little Fuller to the restroom. Twice. It was a very nice treat.

We then went to get Luke from school and parted ways. Daddy & the children had an errand to take care of. I was able to go shopping alone. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, just wanted to be able to walk around a store and not be rushed. Usually, I go in. Find what I need. Pay. Exit the store. Wait to be picked up by the circling Suburban. So, it was nice to walk through a store and look.

Daddy prepared dinner for our family. Oh, he's so nice! I literally have not lifted a finger to do anything that could be considered work today. He is now upstairs bathing the children. I am sitting in my blue chair with my feet propped up.

I have received several calls from dear friends from days gone by. It was very nice to hear from them. It has been a very good day.

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
