Holy Week (and it's not over yet)

What a wonderful week we have had...and it's not over yet. This is the first year that we have really taken the time to be in the Word as a family and really reflect on what this week is all about. Thanks to the wealth of ideas posted by Monica and ideas in Homespun Memories for the Heart it has been an exciting week in which we have learned so much! So here is our week so far...


"Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!"
John 12:13


Webb cut palm branches and we read from our Read and Learn Bible. Then we laid our jackets and blankets down on the floor and waved our palm branches shouting "HOSANNA!" The girls had a lot of fun with it. We talked about how excited we would be if Jesus had walked in and walked across the path that we made for him.



"Then He poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples feet
and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded."
John 13:5
"If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet,
you also ought to wash one another's feet.
For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you"
John 13:14-15



Day 2: We washed each others feet! I actually enjoyed it and know that Cat and Sam had fun (Becca wasn't feeling well, but did want her feet washed). Webb even let me use my "smelly" sugar scrub on his feet! They had way too much fun with my feet...very ticklish feet and they all know it.

I will try to post the rest tomorrow, but still need to finish my Easter dress, so we will see. But, will get it up. How are you spending your week?

Tuckered Toddler

Webb and I got home one night from a night out alone (few and far between these days) and little Sam had fallen asleep on Cat's bed. Just too cute not to snap a photo.

Where have I been?

So I just foud this "new" quilt shop not even 5 mintues from the house. Turns out not so new, has been around for almost 2 years. Where have I been.....oh yeah, way too busy doing way more than I should be. I have enjoyed the time home with my babies so far. I definitely think that I have more than enough to keep my busy at home for those who thought I wouldn't. And my house is getting back to some sort of order (its about time)

I want to be a loser

I hate to admit how complacent I have gotten with being healthy.  I know what I need to do which makes it much worse than just being ignorant.  I know how to count calories (or points).  It's a simple equation more output than input.  Add in chaos and the need of convenience and it no longer seems quite as simple.  In addition to the chaos I have a huge weakness for sugar!  Preferably the chocolate variety.  But really any sort of 'sweet' will do.   My hubby and I came to a so called agreement right after Christmas.  I will give up sweets and he will give up soda (his weakness).  "Give up" is so very harsh.  Neither of us has been perfect with it.  He of course has done much better than I.  Unfortunately for him I am weak and when I have given into my sweet tooth I have tended to bring him a Coke.  Oh only upon typing that out did I realize how horrible I have been.  Did it take anyone else back to Genesis?  Ouch.  The above reason though is why accountability in
