You Know..........Never Mind!
Posted By
God Keeps His Promises!
Well, (Hey, guess what, I didn't say "Hey everyone" this time!:) I'm getting very excited about Christmas but I guess I shouldn't get too far ahead of myself. On Monday afternoon our home school group had a Thanksgiving dinner and it was very good and fun. Last night we had church instead of tonight, because people might be out of town. Tomorrow we are going to have a nice quite family dinner. Just the five of us. It's nice that we get to have this time as a family to be Thankful for all the Lord has given us, especially right before my dad leaves for the Police Academy. We are going to have Turkey, (Well, yeah) cranberry sauce, Stove Top Stuffing, (My absolute favorite) and a new dish that my mom had at work and she loved it so she is going to make it for the family. And last but certainly not least we are going to have apple pie and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Stay tuned because tomorrow I am going to post a list of all the things I am thankful for (If I can think of all of them).
God bless
Love,
Hannah |

Homeschool Memoirs: #15 A Thankful Heart
THEME
"This week, you guessed it, is going to be about having a thankful heart! Yes, of course, we should always be thankful for everything we’re blessed with, but it’s not too often we actually sit and ponder what. This week please join me in writing 27 things you’re thankful (There’s got to be at least 27things!). I picked 27 because this year Thanksgiving is on the 27th of November.
Also, share a Scripture verse for this week!"
I am thankful for:
1. Two younger sisters to take care of.
2. Wonderful parents
3. The Dude 1's laugh and smile
4. The Dude 2's laugh and smile
5. My Dad’s job that allows him to come home everyday, though sometimes it’s late.
6. a house to clean
7. food to prepare
8. a bed to sleep on
9. a family to love on
10. sippy cups to wash
11. laundry to wash, fold and put away
12. the dudes to feed
13. blankets to keep me warm
14. Forgiveness when I don't deserve it at all.
15. Freedom from real persecution as they have in China and overseas.
16. To be able to stand and move
17. To be homeschooled
18. That I can bless people
19. Family and friends that love me even when I am being a brat.
20. clothes on my back
21. dishes to wash
23. A computer to blog on
23. Twitter- a wonderful way to keep up with cyber-friends (and IRL friends too)
24. books to read
25. Kitsy (the cat) to love on after Simon (our dog) died.
26. A mama to laugh with
27. Brothers to get out of mischief
If you want to participate in this meme, go to The Homeschool Post. C'mon, you know you want too! It's so much fun!
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

The Simple Woman's Daybook
 For Today… November 25, 2008.
Outside my Window… it's a very sunny and cold afternoon
I am thinking… that my the Dude1 and the Dude2 (my 1yo twin brothers) are so sweet
From the learning rooms… graphic design
I am thankful for… Christ's love
From the kitchen… pumpkin bars- VERY yummy by the way
I am wearing… Jean skirt and a brown shirt
I am reading… my Bible and When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy
I am hoping praying… that God will help me weed out the sinful habits and behaviors that are a part of me.
I am creating… blog designs
I am hearing… music... The Word Is Alive by Casting Crowns
Around the house… messy!
One of my favorite things… holding my Dudes and reading to them
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week… finishing blog designs, Thanksgiving stuff, and a bunch of other little random things
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…
I would have one, but our camera is broken. Plus, there are none on this computer. *Note to self: upload pictures to laptop.*

As you can see I've change my blog. Not by much. I just changed the colors for Christmas time. I like to do that every year! I might start working on my old blog over at my test blog so I'll have a fresh new blog for the first of the year.
I'm still deciding weather or not to change this into a Photography blog.
What do you think. Should I focus my blog more on my Photography or should I put my life and photography into to one blog(like the one i have now)?
Anyway, we have no co-op this week ( due to thanksgiving) but i still am working on 'some school" because I'll be trying to help my mom with her Christmas party next week! So Excited. I love her Christmas party.
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL thanksgiving with family!
In Christ
Samantha

One More Month!
Posted By
God Keeps His Promises!
One More Month To:
Buy Christmas presents,
Pick out a Christmas tree and tie it to the top of your car and hope that it doesn't go through the window of the people in front of you,
Put the lights up on your roof, balcony, etc.
Get that half priced turkey and canned cranberry sauce
Wrap your presents or pay someone else to wrap your presents for you (just kidding)
One More Month and One Day Until Time To:
Take down the lights, the tree, and the stockings
Throw away all the wrapping paper
And to make turkey sandwiches with all of that left over turkey.
It seems like we spend weeks even months getting ready for Christmas and then just in one day it's all over, we're done with it. It's time for another holiday, New Years. Well, I am happy and proud to say that I have a God who is always there, He's NEVER done with me, and he never changes. This holiday season, don't forget that Christmas is NOT about getting lots of presents or about a fat man with a fluffy white beard and a red suit, it's about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. The one who came to earth to die on the cross for my sins and for your sins. Oh, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING TOO! Also remember that everyone has a LOT to be thankful for, so before you sit down to eat on Thursday, bow your head and thank God for everything you have.
God bless
Love,
Hannah
P.S. This is my 300th entry!!!! :)

Tag and This Week
Posted By
God Keeps His Promises!
I have been tagged by skatebtd.
Rules:
Link to the person who tagged you;
Post the rules on your blog;
Write six random things about yourself;
Tag six people at the end of your post;
Let them know that you tagged them;
1. My family has not had our own Christmas tree up for three years. (We’ve been at my grandparent’s house)
2. I am a part of our church’s Christmas Cantata this year (singing and drama) :)
3. My favorite color has changed several times over the last sixteen years but for right now my favorite is purple (and it will probably stay that way for a while).
4. A few weeks ago I was in Bath and Body Works, and I sprayed air freshener on my arm because I thought it was Perfume.
5. Our family has a Christmas tradition of making Christmas cookies every year but we don’t do it every year. :P
6. Even though my eyes look bluish green in most of my pictures, they are really just blue.
Anyway, in other news, something very exciting will happen this week, besides Thanksgiving (Lord willing). Tomorrow is my mom’s LAST DAY of teaching. I’m SO excited, and of course, she is even more excited. My mom will finally be home during school for the first time this year. Also tomorrow, our home school group is having a Thanksgiving dinner. :D I will definitely bring my camera and try to get some good pictures to share with you all. But, for now, it is late and I still have school tomorrow. So, I’ll talk to you all later.
God bless
Love,
Hannah |
