Wordless Wednesday-

This fun picture was taken at the movie theater this last weekend.

Weblink Wednesday-

Well, with Hurricane Dolly about to hit Texas/ Mexico, I figured I would get together some hurricane sites for Weblink Wednesday.

First is the National Hurricane Center where you can actually track current hurricanes and storm systems.
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Here is a couple of notebooking pages that I made for hurricanes.

I hope you are having a wonderful week. I was able to go out to dinner with my friend and get caught up with her. I do have a prayer request for her though. Her sister- in -law who is a young woman (about 40) has been fighting cancer for 3 years now and it and it seems like it is getting harder for her to fight it off. This family has 4 children the oldest only 12. Her youngest had to be born prematurely because of the cancer and has lived her whole life with her mommy very sick. This family is a wonderful family and it just tears me up inside when I think of what they are going through. You see I knew her brother very well (30 years) and he dated his wife from the time he was like in jr. high I think so I was just a little girl when they started going out and since I hung out at my friend's house a lot, I knew her too. Could you please pray for this lovely woman and her family?

Thursday (starting late Wednesday night), I will be doing Thoroughly Organized Thursday and if you want to join in just put a post out on some organizing tip (for home or school) and sign Mr. Linky when it is up. If you can't think of a tip, please still feel free to come back and read my post!!!

Please leave me a comment to let me know you came by!

I hope you all are having a good week. Monday, I took Little One to the eye doctor and he said he has a viral infection and gave him some drops to put in his eye. I also did a lot of shopping that day. Tuesday night we decided to take Little One to see Prince Caspian (the Movie) again. It's now at the cheap theater and it was the cheapie night. Every Tuesday, they have movies for $1.75, so we feel like we can afford to go. I was really encouraged because the movie has been at the cheapie theater for almost 2 weeks and it was still really full, more full than most movies we see there. I guess when America is given a good, clean movie to take their family to, they will go. I wish Hollywood would get the point. Well, we all loved it the second time around too! After the movie, we went to Dairy Queen for ice cream. We had a good night!

Here are the pictures from the Airport Field Trip that I promised.

Right now with Little One entering 1st grade and being 5 1/2 years old, phonics is on my brain a lot. Honestly, I try to stay clear of phonics programs because so many of them are very expensive. I really don't want to pay $200 for a program. Well, I am always excited when I'm able to find things for phonics and not have to pay a fortune for them. Today I happen to stumble upon (I think it was in a newsletter or something) a website that looks promising. If you have a little one, you may want to check it out!!!
