Joy of Love, Day 4: What they Wear
Feb 4th
What they Wear:
So, Day 4 of this project, day 5 of kids being sick, and day 4 of being stuck inside thanks to the major ice and snow we’ve had here in Texas. So, neither of my kids made it out of pjs yet again. Evan, last fall, absolutely insisted that he “needed” a fedora. He’s quite the fashionable young man. I asked him to pretty please wear his hat so that I could take a picture for today’s assignment. He was in such a mood. He was trying to refuse to smile, but as you can see, I won both battles in the end. He wore the hat and he out and out laughed by the time we finished. He was still mad at me though because his stubborn streak is just about as big as mine (but not quite).
Joy of Love, Day 3: Then and Now
Feb 3rd
So, we are still iced in, and now Kate is sick like her little brother. We’re spreading the love and spreading the joy in our house! The lesson today was to focus on our loved ones as they were and as they are now. Since both of my kids spent much of their day napping, this was Kate at her best today. And, I went through my old files and found a picture of her napping that’s from 2002 – approximately 9 years ago. She still has that same adorable little button nose! I wish I could steal that nose – I sure do love it! And, I love my Katiebug!!
I hope everyone out there is keeping warm, and staying well! And, I sure hope it thaws out soon and that my babies both recover quickly!
Joy of Love, Day 2: How They Look…
Feb 2nd
Well, it’s day two of being iced in here in Texas, but really it’s our third day home from school since both kids were sick on Monday. I actually did convince Kate to at least brush her hair this morning, but getting out of jammies was just out of the question. My children (and me too if I could get away with it) would live in jammies if it was allowed.
So, the 2nd day of February and the second lesson in the “Joy of Love” course is based on “How they Look” – either at their best or their worst, but at being genuine. So, here’s my girl, keeping it real in her pjs and with her computer. Her favorite color is red (in case in one wondered).
Smiles and love to all!
Joy of Love: Day 1 – What they Do…
Feb 1st
Taking a free “Joy of Love” course with some friends during the month of February. Today was Day 1, and the topic was, “What they do…” We had an ice storm here in Texas, and since my kids are both sick and didn’t bother getting out of their pjs, I used my kitty cat. Butterscotch always looks her best.
