A Lesson from Veggie Tales

Yesterday was a bad day...a really long bad day...a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Okay, it wasn't really that bad, but you know what I mean. Before we went to church I let the kids watch an old Veggie Tales that we hadn't watched in a while. I was unloading the dishwasher when I heard Junior Asparagus singing a beautiful song. I stopped and came into the living room and watched it. It almost made my cry (that's the kind of day I'm talking about). It was such a sweet reminder of God's love for me. I couldn't find any video of it, but here are the lyrics. Be encouraged by Junior Asparagus today!

In my bed I start to pray

And tell God all about my day

I woke up in my little bed

And put my hat upon my head

Cleaned my room and cleared my dishes

Told Mom breakfast was delicious

I went to school, learned something new

I tried to follow every rule

I studied my vocabulary

Had some fun with Bob and Larry

And so it's good to know

How much you love me

It's true, the Bible says you do

You really love me

Your love was with me all throughout my day

I somehow overlooked my bed

It seems my dog is underfed

Forgot to change my underclothes

Watched one too many TV shows

I had some trouble sharing toys

And during rest time, made some noise

The walls are not for coloring

Sometimes I'm off-key when I sing

And so it's good to know

How much you love me

It's true, the Bible says you do

You really love me

Your love was with me all throughout my day

In my bed so quietly

I rest in knowing

God loves me.

Sock Hop

I need to warn you upfront that I might have gone a little overboard with pictures and video on this post. I just couldn't resist, though. Sophie's school had a sock hop today. They have been working so hard on the dances during P.E. and her G-Momma made her this adorable poodle skirt. It was really cute. I know the last video is really long, but it still makes me laugh out loud when I watch it.

Great Wolf Lodge, an Aggie Game, and a Birthday

Last weekend Taylor, his brother, and his dad had tickets to the Aggie game at Cowboy Stadium. Taylor's parents decided to make a weekend out of it and booked us a room at Great Wolf Lodge. The kids love this place!

We celebrated G-Momma's birthday while we were there.

The kids even got to decorate pumpkins in the Cub Club.

We had a great time. Thanks G-Momma and Poppa!

Stacks

I have a problem with stacks of papers. I hate them, and yet I can't seem to get rid of them.

This stack of mail has been sitting there since I got home Sunday night. To keep it from growing I've stopped checking the mail.

I sat down to go through it the other day, but I ended up reading the Time magazine in the stack.

This is a basket (overflowing) of stuff I don't know what to do with. When I finally do get around to going through the mail every now and then there are always those things that don't go in the trash or get filed and I just don't know where to put them, so they go here.

And now my children are making stacks...Sophie's room above

JC's stack of books on his night stand

This stack is sitting right beside me now. It is stuff I need to do on the computer...e-mail a mom that we can't make it to a party, spend a friend's Gym bucks by Sunday (Thanks, Stephanie), e-mail a parent at Sophie's school...

and this stack right beside it..I really don't know what this is.

We keep coming up with these ways to organize our papers, but in the end you still have to go through them and that's where I fall short. And yes, I do know that I could have gone through all of those stacks in the time it took me to write this blog. This was more fun though.
