Circumstances

Are you interpreting God's love by your circumstances lately instead of interpreting your circumstances by His love? When we are tempted to question whether or not God cares, we are reminded that, "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." God does care!

Simple Mondays

I saw this on one of my friend's blogs today and thought it was nice so I decided to do it too.

FOR TODAY...October 12th

Outside my window... A rose bush that is blooming again in October

I am thinking... "I should be doing homework right now"

I am thankful for... God's forgiveness

I am wearing... jeans, red comfy socks, a shirt with christmas penguins on it (yes, it's time to break out those fun clothes) and a fall looking jacket that is really warm.

I am remembering... how the ribosomes are used for protein synthesis in the cells

I am going... grocery shopping at some point today or tomorrow

I am reading... a lot of children's books lately with Isabella

I am hoping... that this sore throat and congestion doesn't turn really bad this week

On my mind... wondering why Greg's boss is really coming into town tomorrow.....the last three times we've been relocated!

Noticing that... it's really cold this morning

Pondering these words... Mikayla said last night, "Mom, you could have chosen to do homework on the computer tonight but you chose to come and do bible study with me instead. I love you."

From the kitchen... Tater Tot Cassarole tonight

Around the house.... lots of crafts from this weekend

One of my favorite things this time of year... Hot Peppermint Tea

From my picture journal.. the kids with grandpa on Halloween last year

Pumpkin Patch X2

Now that's a lot of people!! Today it was off to the Schultz Farm with the Pumpkin Patch Crew. It was fun as usual. There were lots of favorite things to do. We got some pumpkins and can't wait to roast some pumpkin seeds this week. Although that was a lot of pumpkins for one weekend it was so great to have the sunshine and good weather. Bring on the rain this week! (well, maybe not for those who might be putting a completely new roof on their house this week!)

Craft Time!

If you happen to read my last post about the pumpkin patch being the first half of our day today then you'll understand when I say this is about the 2nd half. We got to go over to our neighbors house and continue our very fun Fall party over there. First we ate way too much food and let the kids play for a bit. The kids had such a great time as did the adults. We decided this year to order some easy crafts for the kids to do. It was so much fun. They made these cute monster pillows (although I haven't sewn on the eyes and mouths yet), they got to make some photo frames for those cute pumpkin patch pics earlier, and they got to do some bat hand prints. Daddy even jumped in with the tie pillows and helped Isabella out. Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough with the camera to capture that on film. You'll have to take my word for it. Thank you God for such great neighbors and a fun day of celebrating one of my favorite seasons!!
