Pondering this past week...

Well, another day or rest has come to a close. It was a busy day (as it always is with four young children out of their routine) but it was made busier due to Grandville PRC celebrating our 25th anniversary as a congregation. God has been good to Grandville as a congregation! They moved church to 5PM instead of 6 and had a program after. We didn't stay for cake and ice cream after the program as the boys didn't really have much to eat before church and that much sugar on an empty stomach is NOT a good idea. lol

Last week went fairly well for me, with minimal headaches (yay!) and I was able to get a lot of extra things done around the house. I also was able to have the boys play outside a lot so they were good and tired once bed time rolled around and they also play a lot nicer outside than in. A wonderful example of that is from Friday afternoon. The boys have been playing with the neighbors' dogs Tito and Russell when the dogs are out, and Lucas is a little shy with Tito. I was watching them through the window and I see Daniel go to Lucas and give him a hug, (patting him on the back), and then try to gently guide him with his arm around him. Then Caleb also comes and puts his arm around him and helps Daniel guide Lucas and reassure him that Tito is a nice dog. I really wished I had the camera then. Those are the displays of love and affection that I love seeing my kids to show to each other. It made my heart melt seeing that. I have also heard on many occasions, Caleb telling both his brothers that they are his best friends. Hearing that totally reinforces our decision and desire to homeschool.

I was also able to get my second play pen pad cover finished and a skirt for Brenda done. Friday night I cut all the pieces out for Caleb's red tractor pjs. He said "they have to be red tractors because daddy doesn't like the green ones, mommy." lol Kinda makes me curious to know what he'd say if I did make some green tractor pjs for Daniel or Lucas..... hmmm... they both have birthdays coming up... :)

This week doesn't look too crazy busy, but how fast that can change. I'm looking forward to getting in the flower beds and cleaning up the front yard. The boys are going to pull the weeds out of the sand box to help. lol At least that's what Caleb told me he's going to do to help me. :)

I'm also hoping to get Caleb's pjs done and start on Pam's diaper bag. I can't wait to see what that's going to look like. :)

Right now though, its time to spend some time with my hubby as all the kids are in bed and quiet!
