How are YOU raising your kids?

Nursery was a good day today. Other than some stinky, hyper kids we had fun. We decided to have a large portion (15 mins) be for some singing. We did head, shoulders, knees and toes (as the lesson was on having bodies like heavenly father), then we did Jesus wants me for a sunBEAM and finally we did Do as I'm doing with ring around the rosies to conclude the fun.

While trying to figure out what to do next for 'do as I'm doing' one of our two year old nursery kids asked if we could sing Justin Bieber.

I tried to get him to sing it, without avail. If only I knew some Justin Bieber songs...

What a heart throb...

- Did I mention this was a MALE two year old?

Here's to Running

Running is so kind to me. It helps me clear my mind, be in better shape, gets me out in the sun for some needed vitamin D, and gives me 'gifts'...

That would be better defined as today's blister under yesterdays blister, under a week ago's' blister.

Oh the gifts of running.

Here's to a Better February

I don't have much to say, but I feel like I haven't blogged in a while so get ready for some randomness.

Life in the Nursery has been getting better. I think it is mostly because of my better attitude. The only problem that I can't fix is the sickness that reaks out of the word NURSERY. This week a normal runny nose, congestion, sneezing... cold. Much better than scarlet fever and strep. I just wonder what lies ahead for me in the future.... stomach flu... regular flu... strep again?


School... well it has gotten better in some ways, while other incidents have popped up.
I finally caught up on the busy work!!!! WOOHOO. But in an attempt to be vague, I'm having other issues.
Also the place that I have my clinical every week is super depressing for me. I'm just having a hard time taking care of kids where many have major 'non-accidental' brain injuries. It makes me want to cry, especially when I see pictures of them before their brain injuries. I'm having a really REALLY hard time with it. What if that was my child? What if that was me? what if that was my brother, sister, mom, dad, husband? After each clinical - I have a hard time.

Valentines Day!
We were able to go to our neighbors home and have a wonderful, fun dinner! (other than their boy being sick) There was lamb with an awesome balsamic vinegar and cherry topping, some other things i can't pronounce that were delicious and chocolate covered strawberries and marshmallows. It was GREAT and so nice to do something with our neighbors again. Its been too long - every week someone is sick.

I am SOOO looking forward to our cruise. ONLY 23 DAYS!!!!!!!! so not ready and so excited! (I just hope some crazy gut bug doesn't go around on our cruise.... yes, I'm knocking on wood!)

I can make it.... I can make it.... 23 more days.... I can make it.

My Work Space

I so tired of all this (busy work) homework. :(

Heart

I have ALWAYS wanted to make every valentines day decoration. They are always so cute, but I never really get the chance because I'm always busy.

So this time I actually made SOMETHING.





I found the tutorial here. I decided to get some valentines color involved and since the only red I had was felt... I went with that.

AND it was super easy, but still took me about 2 hours to get it all done, but I work slow.

Happy Valentine's Day Decor!
