There is only so much time in one day. As a mom, this time becomes even more scarce. There are chores to do, kids to cart around, a Lord to get to know, and dinners to plan. Why not choose to live each moment instead of worrying about the next?

Seven Quick Takes Number 5

1. I love the L.E.A.P. room in Buzz's school. It is like a cross between a library-play room-imaginarium.  Mrs LEAP Room is fabulous resource in and of herself.  The books are leveled and all play things are imaginative.  nary a Disney product to be found.  Every Friday afternoon has become a joy.

2. No offence to Disney-I am currently watching Toy Story 3 (or should I say Buzz is) and I truly think I can rank it as one of my top ten movies of all time.  I do think that children copy the story lines of a movie they have seen instead of being creative and imaginative in their play.  So, we only watch Disney occasionally.

3. My intent to give up refined sugar for Lent is becoming less appealing.   I am about to loose my nerve.

4. Vacation is not booked yet and I am somehow not worried.

5.  I have to create a "weed" costume for LegoMaster.  He wants to be a fuzzy-type dandelion.  I think I have a good idea, but I have yet to create it.  It involves white polar fleece, feathers and white floral wire.  Let's see where that goes.

6. I have 10 lessons  written for the Lent Bible study for the boys.  I am pretty proud of myself.  My thoughts are to do 4-5 a week so that the 40 days do not seem so tedious.  Frankly, I feel like a bumbling fool with the Bible and teaching it to the boys so I am letting Him guide me with his grace.  So far, so good.  Thank you Lord!

7. Sump pumps are good things.  I, however, have not realized how much they function.  You should see the pile of laundry that has been accumulating over the last three days.  Our pump has been failing so DadOfAllTrades has asked me not to use the washer as not to stress out the pump during the last days of it's life.  So, I have obliged and the pile is huge. 

Ta ta for now.
