Typical Sunday

Well, we got up early enough to go to 9:30 a.m. church and actually didn't have to rush around. There still is about the same amount of snow on the ground but most of the roads outside our immediate neighborhood are plowed. The sermon was the ending to the Vision 2010 series and it was quite powerful. One thing that Rick said that lays on my heart is that we need to start praying more as a family, and I don't mean just before supper time:) I tend to do short prayers when they come to me throughout the day but I don't typically share them with others, even the family. I also read the bible in a year last year but did not share most of it with my family. So maybe that can be my New Year's resolution, that I will pray and share bible verses with everyone in the family.

When we got home from church Riley laid down for a well needed nap and Jason made the best omelets ever. After that I have been doing my whole house cleaning spree that I try to do every other Sunday. I am about 2/3 of the way done and taking a well needed break. The dogs are napping, Jason is watching a Matrix Marathon, and Blaine is playing in the basement with the neighbor kids. Nothing too exciting. It has been 2 1/2 hours and I hear Riley waking up from her nap. Hopefully I will still be able to get the rest of the cleaning done-- Riley usually wants to help mama, which means it takes twice as long. At least Jason is home to help try to redirect her to something more productive, like tormenting (petting) the dogs, playing with her kitchen, or making a big mess with all of her other toys.

Nothing exciting-- just a typical Sunday!

Starting a blog

I love to read but am not very good at writing, thus I have been reading everyone else's blogs and thinking that I wish I could do that too! Well, here I go. I thought that this way I could document for the kids what is going on in our household, maybe someday they will actually be interested in reading it. Just like maybe some day they will be interested in looking at all of the photo albums and scrapbooks that I have made.

All week the weathermen have been talking about all of the snow that we would be getting on Friday. So we woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow. The day started with Jason giving Lily, the new puppy, a bath because she had pooped in her kennel! This was 6:30 a.m. and Riley woke up too. I decided to go back to bed and didn't get up until 8:30 am- thank you Jason. Jason then spent about 1.5 hours shoveling snow and digging Ashlee, Brenden's girlfriend, out of the street. Now he has a very sore back. Blaine had spent the night at the neighbor's house last night, then played in the snow with them this morning, now he is playing in the basement at our house with them. I decided to work on my scrapbook for awhile and now Jason and I are watching the Kentucky B-ball game. Not a very exciting day.
