leftover friday

mira was on a roll with some great quotes this week:

"do you know why my tummy is hurting? because i sleep too long last night." -mira

"can you help me blow bubbles in weal life?" -juno

"do you obey mommy the first time? consequences will happen and juno doesn't agree to it." -mira

imogen singing  -  "come, i will make you fishers of men, fishers of men, fishers of men."
mirabelle singing -"come, i will make you misters again, misters again, misters again."

"how old is asparagus?" -mira
"i just bought it today." -me
"no, really how old is asparagus? because it looks like an old guy." -mira

"juno, i can't play with you right now cause i'm doing a bootiful picture for you." -mira


i have cooked every night this week, but we haven't seen our giant any night this week. he has had a crazy, long and busy schedule.
guacamole chicken wraps are on the menu tonight. and hoping for a few cuddles from our giant.

he stopped and helped two different people who were stuck in the middle of the road and in need of assistance and couldn't afford assistance. God gave him the gift to fix cars and he uses it to help others. and he doesn't take the glory, because he knows all the glory is God's.
oh how i admire him.
others are so quick to judge him {with his long hair, long beard, excess car parts, too many wheels and tires and project after project} and his heart is looked at too little, because if they really knew him, they would know he has the biggest heart of all and i wish they could see that first.
one of the guys even asked if he could come to our church.

we drove back from nanaandpapas house on sunday and was asked if it was hard to start school back up on monday.
people, that is the beauty of homeschooling. we can ease back into everything. i had time for dishes, laundry, putting away Christmas decorations, paying bills and everything in between.
we even got to spend lots of time outside playing because the weather was so nice when we got back.

our greasy monkey is working, we just got a new puzzle (from the 75% off section at the teacher store) a babysitter is coming over and we're going on a date with uncle jeff and aunt tiffany.

happy weekend.

and here are a few pics from our new years and time in nebraska
