I am thinking...
About Calvin who starts his first day as an EMT today! After three months he will have full medical, dental and vision which will be a real blessing for our family. He will also only have to work three days a week (12 to 14 hour shifts) to be considered full time - so he wants to hold on to his job as a lifeguard as well. It's just very exciting for me to watch him take those first steps out into the adult world.
From the learning rooms...Putting the finishing touches on CLEP test preparation for Sam. I am going to work on more writing skills with the other kids this week. It's funny how becoming good readers, doesn't necessarily equate to being good writers - although when I told the kids, "write something that you would like to read!" I saw a few light bulbs in their minds go off!
From the kitchen... Very low key this week with Ash Wednesday and then first Friday in Lent. I will say though Tuna Helper was on sale this week and when Mr. Pete saw it he snapped it up - he just loves that stuff!! We use low fat milk and margarine to mix it up so it's not that bad calorie wise and it tastes pretty good too - but I just chuckled because Mr. Pete was so happy with this find! I've got a tasty bean soup planned for Friday.

Around the house...Get ready for lent! I have new purple table cloths!
A few plans for the rest of the week:Celebrate fat Tuesday! and then really get the kids into the spirit of lent
A picture I am sharing:
This is Sam practicing on Saturday for his Sunday Debut. I'll be blogging more about that later. It was amazing to see how far he has come since starting organ lessons last August! He actually plays the pedals with his feet - which is amazing to me anyway, but to watch his long size 15 feet fly over the pedals like that was really something to see. I have new respect for organists - I think you have to have pretty strong ab muscles to be able to hold your body weight off of your legs to move your feet so fast!
