My last post was all about me making light of all the things I seem unable to keep up with around here. Let's face it, we can't all be domestic goddesses. Some of us are just better at self deprecation then housekeeping.
Truth be told, I'm floundering a little...so I don't have a lot of extra words floating around. Only guilt.
And Jim Gaffigan quotes. (Chip Chop Chip? What does that even mean?)
And pictures of my girl before she got her hair cut...
That's all I really want to share today...pictures...
In spite of her hair, I think she's beautiful. And lately there are days when I want to strangle her but more often I want to hug her and tell her I"m proud of her. And I do.
The other day when I was working on projects for my Papercrafting book, she sat with me in my office, doing her own creating. She made this:
It's a prayer jar. I didn't help her at all. I didn't even give her the idea. She just wanted to make a jar where she could tuck in her prayers.
That sort of amazed me. She has a big heart, but her faith she mostly keeps to herself. It always surprises me when I see it coming out...and then I remember that I'm the same way, really.
She's also picked up another one of my habits (though this idea didn't come from me either)... writing notes to herself on the mirror. Affirming love letters to herself. Nothing makes me happier...
She got that idea from a devotional she's reading written by a girl about her age (and her mom.)
Sometimes I forget she's not this tiny person anymore. She's got a mind of her own. She needs independence. She needs to spread her wings a little.
Never mind that the last time she "spread her wings" we found her on the other side of the neighborhood (where she isn't allowed to be) and is now grounded for the rest of the week.
Those are just silly details.
Speaking of details...
How about two winners of the Preschool Hands-On Bible??
The first winner...
Courtney, I'm not quite sure why I have never visited your blog...but I suppose He drew me to it tonight with the post on FB about winning this :)
Good luck to me!
and the second winner...
Ok this is pretty freakin' awesome!! :) How uplifting to be involved with a project like this...and love that it is experiential - it will really help the children to process the stories. Even if I don't win, I am so ordering one for my preschooler!! :) Thank you for the opportunity to win! :)
