Sunday Worship - Even If

Mercy Me songs are always amazing and this one has never disappointed.

Also, if you didn't catch my "Our Week in Photo's" post that went up on Saturday night, make sure and check out what fun we had last week! 

Our Week In Photos - #12

We had a busy week (which is why I'm just now posting this on Saturday night!)

 Our week started with my mom hanging out at our house for the weekend.  We went into town and shopped at the Christian Bookstore and then stopped at Nothing Bundt Cakes for a little dessert treat!  

 Sunday was St. Patrick's Day. 

 We did school including taking staged photos for Nate's Social Studies Project (He had to create a board game - He won and is thrilled and I'm sad because I lost HA!) 

 Our presentation night for our Co-Op was Friday night.  It including showing off projects from the semester and live demonstrations for some classes. 

 On Thursday (Yes, out of order!) we finally made it back to the Homeschool project where the boys learned about South America and made these art projects. 

We also worked on their Derby cars BUT, these cars just fell apart so the boys ended up using their cars from last year on Saturday.  

Weekly Menu

Last weeks menu shirted some.  I had great plans but again, we had lots of leftovers by the time we got to Sunday night/Monday so we ate doctored up leftovers both days.  I also made a grocery store run on Sunday night without a list so I had to just buy some things for meals that I could come up with on the spot!  Oh well, it worked out well since we ended up with some stomach flu in our house this past week so meals needed to be simple.

So, here's the plan for the next week.

Friday - Tonight is our presentation night for our co-op and dinner is served!  We are doing Soup/Chili, rolls and salads.

Saturday - Lemon Chicken (this is an OLD favorite of mine I kind of forgot about it!), Roasted Cabbage Steaks, and Baked Potatoes

Sunday - Darryl has a concert and then we are gathering with his family to celebrate his mom's husband's birthday.

Monday - Meatball Soup and Rolls.  It won't be much longer it will be too warm for soups so I thought it would be nice to have one of our favorites.

Tuesday - Sloppy Joes and French Fries

Wednesday - Pizza and Mac and Cheese

Thursday - Pork loin in the crock pot, Mashed Potatoes and Veggies

A Few of my Favorite Things

I don't think I've done one of these posts in quite awhile.  It's always fun to see what other people enjoy as a "favorite"!

The Spring baking Championship show on Food Network just started this week.  I love these competition style shows and seeing what the bakers come up with each week. 

This soup is the best.  They sell it in the grocery store and it is actually worth the price.  (Honestly, the other flavors, I don't think are worth the price)  This has become a go to dinner option - Darryl and I will have this for dinner along with a ham steak and it is so good. 

My go to drink.  Just add it to a bottle of water and I have something yummy to drink. It has to be this flavor too!  The others just don't measure up! 

We watched this movie this week and it is for sure one of my favorites.  I kind of avoided it when it came out due to the whole "spirit" idea but Nate wanted to see it so we watched it at home.  The moral of the story is just spot on.  I'm so glad we watched it. 

What is this? The SUN!  This winter had some long days in it with ice storms and record breaking cold so to see the sunshine and blue skies once again is a true favorite. 

So, what are your favorite things? 

Origami Week 7

This is our last week of our Co-Op.  I'll be honest, I didn't plan a whole lot for our last week.  We talked about what we would be sharing next week at our Presentation Night and then we actually made an activity out of their origami book.  We started with a house and then turned it into a Piano.  Here are a few samples of our work :-)

St. Patricks Day

We enjoy St. Patrick's Day in this house.  It was totally by accident but somehow, it's become a fun little day and we always have T-shirts!

So, the Leprechaun visits our house throughout the day and leaves "Gold" (Rolo's) all over the house.  The boys try frantically to catch him (and "he" tries frantically not to get caught HA!)  They always write him a note and he always writes back.  It's getting harder and harder to not get caught!!!! 

Weekly Worship - Happy Dance

So, first of all, at some point I am sure I will repeat songs.  Naturally there are songs that I just love and I'll repost them on accident (or on purpose).  BUT, I don't think I've shared are favorite "Friday Song".  Happy Dance by Mercy me is the perfect song to listen on on Friday Mornings as we are driving to our Co-Op.  We are all dancing in the car and it just sets the whole mood for the day!  So, listen and don't be afraid to stand up and dance!
