Busy Weekend
Well, I didn't get to make my cookies. I can't find malted milk powder......yet! I will find it somewhere!
Friday night my hubby and I went out for a date in Raleigh. We had a wonderful time! We had some much needed time away together :) We ate dinner at Texas Roadhouse and the waitress is from England. We asked her where (Newcastle) and when we told her we've been there she was really surprised. We really enjoyed talking with her!
Saturday we picked up Tangled. We saw it in the theater with the kids and the girls could not wait to buy it! Very cute movie!
Tonight my hubby is starting a week on mid shift. He will be working 11pm-7am. Yuck! Oh well...I am glad it is only a week. I really don't like this shift.
Tomorrow starts another week of school, laundry, cleaning.....

Secret Keeper Girl
I bought this about a year ago and have been waiting for the right time to do this with Ashlyn. She turned 10 last month, she is growing in many ways, and so I have decided to start this with her in April.
I know that Ashlyn is closer to Matthew in age, but I always stick her with Carissa, who is 8. They share a room, play together all the time, have the same friends, and so on. She is growing up faster than I would like! As much as I would love them to stay little, time keeps going and they keep growing! Maybe I was waiting to start Secret Keeper Girl for when *I* was ready to admit she isn't so little anymore... *sigh*

She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her
Proverbs 31:25-28

On another note, tomorrow we are going to Raleigh. We're going to Trader Joe's and Harmony Natural Foods. Can't wait! I have been wanting to go for awhile now.

Movie Review: Listen to Your Heart
Last night I was waiting for my hubby to get home from work so I was searching through the movies available on Netflix Instant Play. I came across one called Listen to Your Heart.
From Netflix: Struggling musician Danny Foster (Kent Moran) never dreamed he'd fall in love with a woman who couldn't hear his compositions. But when he meets Ariana (Alexia Rasmussen), a privileged girl who lost her hearing in childhood, he's willing to believe anything's possible. As the young couple's love takes hold, however, Ariana's overbearing mother (Cybill Shepherd) proves to be their most vocal critic.
I went ahead and watched it assuming it to be a feel good romantic movie with a meaningful story. Well, it was, but in ways I was not expecting from the movie description. My hubby arrived home to watch about the last 45 minutes with me and he really liked it without even knowing the whole story.
If you watch it be sure to grab your tissues! Just sayin'...
PS. Another quick movie review.... The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry
The kids and I watched this tonight. Good Christian movie. You will really like it!

Homeschooling
Today I am thankful for being allowed to homeschool my kiddos.
I get to spend all day and night with my kids.
I get to watch them grow, learn, and live life!
I can help them with their struggles and praise them for their acheivements.
I am able to teach them about God and how HE created everything!
I can teach them at the table, in the living room, outside......anywhere!
I get to enjoy my children and not miss any important moments.
I am able to be a mom 100% 24/7. The job I have always wanted and I signed on for with my first child.
I am thankful for homeschooling.
