10-ish photos on the 10th of every month.

Finding beauty in the ordinary… and thanking God for it.

Running Club… always a fun time running 30 minutes with great friends.  The boys love their peanut butter on toast, and this morning, I added dried cherries which they didn’t seem to mind.

Timeline song practice after the running:

Back at home, school begins.  Zac practices his ones, tens and hundreds:

We usually have chocolate milk on running club days.  Today we had berry smoothies:

7 of the most potent and compact bible verses I know of:

Yellow paper… our new schedule for the mealtimes the Kids are in charge of prep, setting the table, and clean up:

Chore charts are in full use… they’re really working well for us right now.  (They haven’t always. Totally our fault for not staying on top of it.)

The kids get tokens for 100% complete charts at the end of the month.

Homemade Rainbow loom:

Living room bed sheet fort:

Oh, how short we fall in the housekeeping department:

Monday’s are Wii days for screen time:

The Sports frisbee toss is a favorite game:

Our recent weekend family movie times have included the Amazing Race and the Duggars (18 and counting).

Dinner was leftovers.  I’m trying to use lent as a time to be extra frugal and use up food in our fridge/freezer and in the depths of our pantry.  I was watching too much solo TV (10+ years old shows, new to me:  West Wing and “the Closer”) in bed at night (on my iPad) so I am cutting that out until at least Easter, and hopefully beyond. It’s so sad but I can’t remember the last time I read a whole book.  For fun.  I’m happy to report that I finished Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, a book I’ve had floating around on my nightstand for way too long.  Yay!
