Seven Quick Takes Number 6

1. Buzz has earned his chaps this week.  He saw these black suede kids size chaps when DadOfAllTrades purchased his for the Valentines Day Costume Party.  He wanted them B-A-D, but we saw no reason for him to have them asap.  So DadOfAllTrades and I devised a plan.  Buzz had to work for them.  He had to do extra chores until his check list was full, then we could go to get them.  We honestly thought he would loose interest in them and there would be no little boy chaps in our home.  However, he did truly want them and worked hard to get his check marks.  He walked into the store and said he "earned them and he wanted them".  Cutie!

2. Buzz wore his chaps to school.  I walked him in to make sure the teacher thought this was OK and wouldn't disrupt the class.  She told him they were "Great!"  and grabbed my arm to take me into the hall- where she burst out laughing.   Thank goodness she can appreciate Buzz the way that I do!

3. Snow has once again hit our neck of the woods.  Hooray.

4. I am on day 3 of the sugar fast.  Not really much of an issue yet.  But coffee isn't as much fun when it isn't all sweetened up by sugar and flavored creamer.  And one cannot even order fast food without a sugary drink.  I ordered bottled water and had to pay more.  Sheesh-no wonder why folks don't make an attempt to eat healthily.  It costs too much.

5. We are going full steam on our Lent/Easter study.  The boys are taking to it well and seems to settle into their chairs at breakfast when I read from the Word.  I am loving the big blue eyes of LegoMaster when he asks questions. Buzz wants to hear how Jesus was "kilt", but I told him that cliffhanger was for a later date.  He sighed.

6. The planning for the end of the school year has already hit.  I attended a Carnival planning session today.  My baby is NOT going to be a first grader next year.  He is way too young.  What’s that you say?  He is the right age?  I guess that makes me how old?  AHHHHHHH…

7. I have been trying to do a “Ten Best” list of lists for myself, maybe for posting at a later time.  However, I can only come up with five or six for some of my categories.  Either I am way picky-er than I thought or I don’t get out enough.
