thankful thursdays 10/29

Oct 29, 2009

* Over 30 people have signed up to volunteer for my 500 Pencil Roll Project…for those of you who missed the tutorial, here it is. You are all simply amazing!
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* We were able to attend a fun play this morning of The Jungle Book
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* Blythe and Keziah competed in The Speech Festival and they both did fabulously well! Blythe won 4th place and was so shocked that she couldn’t even breathe. I am so grateful she received an award this year because she was pretty discouraged last year after an enormous amount of effort did not win her a ribbon.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* My children and our whole Primary did so wonderful in their program. Keziah’s solo was beautiful and there was nary a dry eye in the room.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I found a treasure of a book – The Gift of the Jews – that is calling to me to spend hours immersed in its pages. It is about how a small tribe’s beliefs changed the entire development and worldview of Western Civilization and now the world. I love reading philosophy mixed with history mixed with anything about the Jews.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* My family was here to spend the weekend and we had a great time!
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* My amazing sister, Mikelle, did my hair and it is soooo cute, if I may say so myself. She also did Fisher’s and it is the shortest, probably the cutest, and definitely the easiest it has ever been.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* My laundry is caught up!
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* Liberty Girls is such a delightful club for my Keziah to belong to. Her leader helps each girl rise to the best that is in them and to become better friends, learners, and young ladies of goodness.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* Great Harvest feeds us (and everyone else) free slices of bread every time we go to Idaho Falls. Lately, that has been really frequently and they just keep smiling, cutting bread, and filling our bellies.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* Two of my Usborne Book Shows are closing today and people are going to get tons of these fabulous books. I love helping people find books they will love.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I learned about a Kool-aid dishwashing soap method. I will try it out and let you know how it works.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* Several people have recently contacted me about TJEd and how they can implement it in their families. It is so exciting to be on this educational path and to be able to help other people along the way.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* I love, love, love my Keen Targhees. They are the most comfortable shoes. My feet feel great at the end of the day.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* Annesley is adding new words to her repertoire every day – it is so fun to watch her growing up.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* We found a missing library book and only had to pay the outrageous fine, not the replacement cost…only 3 more missing library books to go. Surely they are here somewhere, right??
——————————————————————————————————————————–
* Did I already say my hair is stinkin’ cute? Well, it is. I feel adorable and love doing my hair every day.

Time to make cookies for our Harvest Party tomorrow!

      You know I am the most unphotogenic person in the world…you’ll just have to come see it in person!

  2. This is my “I was here” message. I love you, and I hope the harvest party went wonderfully well. =)

      Hello Sarah! Glad you found me here! Hopefully it will be worth your reading time.

      Oh, yes, we had a wonderful time with about 80 friends eating, laughing, and playing! The youth played night games out in the cold for hours…I don’t know how they handled the cold, but they weren’t read to be done even at 11:00 p.m.!
