I just finished reading this book:
While Ella isn't technically a "tween" yet, I am realizing how quickly those years will be upon us. I thought this book was extremely practical for giving me ideas on how to navigate issues such as body image, modesty, boy-craziness, and the media in a biblical way. And since Ella and I have already had "the talk" (yes, you know the talk I am talking about)...it confirmed that I did an ok job with it, ha!
This has been an incredible week for me.
I can't put my finger on it...
the kids still fought at times,
i still lost my temper at times,
the dishes still piled up,
the crumbs didn't sweep themselves up,
i had stuff i had to get done...
But I also got to see my kids show some real "fruit",
jump in rain puddles with them,
exercise and be productive each day,
draw fairies, fold airplanes, build forts,
cook a homemade dinner every night,
get up early and spend time in the Word undistracted,
see my husband fulfilled and happy doing a job he loves.
I have totally enjoyed my kids, my days, my husband, and my God this week. It has been such a gift.

And finally, why is the subject of poop still so funny to my kids? Does it ever get old? I had to officially lay down the law and declare that there will be no more conversations with the subject of poop in them conversated (just made that word up, i think?) at any meals in our house. End of discussion.
We shall see.
Happy (happy!) Thursday!
