Okay, that wasn't too hard. I'm just talking to myself here. Today I am just amazed at the Lord's love for me. I got a haircut at Avia salon from my friend from church--Emily McMackin. Super haircut, fun time to just enjoy getting to know a great person a little better.

Today I loved spelling story time with my kids. After dinner we sat around and just gave all the kids their spelling lists for the week (they've been studying the words and defining them earlier this week) all cut up into individual words. I started a story. "Once upon a time there was a king who wanted to give a proclamation to his people. . ." and Kitty Lou added, "but he was really tired and went to bed. When he woke up in the morning there was a snake in his bedroom." Dallin said, "The king got his pillow off his bed and bopped the snake with it." Samara said, "but when he bopped the snake, two more snakes showed up, so now there were three." And so it went on and on with pumpernickel, peppercorns, usually, keep, shop, stop, nationality, arrange, every, and many, many more. It was fun to hear the varied imaginings of my cute children.


One thing I loved about yesterday was that since we've been homeschooling without the help of a charter this semester, we've had no history curriculum to use. But yesterday a friend, Sarah, gave us some REALLY COOL history books, including the very one I had been considering purchasing. The Lord is so GOOD to us! He truly wants us to have what we ask for. I just feel more and more that many times the wants in my heart are planted there by the Lord Himself. Then when I ask He is so pleased to grant those requests. It's almost like He shows me beautiful wonderful ideas, things, scenes and allows me to ponder them, see how cool they are and think, "Wow! That would be really neat!" So then I ask for His help to bring to pass the idea and He is always willing to help me. I am testing out my theory in June.
