The Powers' House: March 2014
http://powershouseblog.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 17, 2014. Caddo Lake [Spring Break 2014]. This year for Spring Break, we headed to East Texas for five days at Caddo Lake. It's become a family favorite. We love it there! This year we stayed in Barnstormer on Taylor Island (my favorite area to stay) and we had a lovely time! We spent a lot of time fishing, eating, canoeing, and just unplugging from our sometimes crazy life. Game night after the kids went to bed. Exploring at Caddo Lake. Aaron, Abby, and Mattie. Sunday, March 2, 2014. We fi...

The Powers' House: Reading List [2015]
http://powershouseblog.blogspot.com/p/reading-list-2015.html
Books Completed in 2015. A sweet modern day love story with likable characters. I thought the end when they finally end up together was a little too. lacking. "Oh, I've been in love with you from a distance and now you're here. Let's make out! I'll love you forever and ever." But I guess the point of the story is the journey to getting there. And that was fun/sweet. 10 Conversations to Have with Your Children [Boteach]. The 3 Big Questions for a Frantic Family [Lencioni]. Strengthsfinder 2.0 [Rath].

The Powers' House: Pat Green Concert
http://powershouseblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/pat-green-concert.html
Saturday, September 19, 2009. Saw Pat Green last night at Stubb's. In Austin and it was A-MAZ-ING. Aaron and I have always said Pat Green is sort of the sountrack of our life (some songs are obvious exceptions, but.), and last night was so much fun! We were right in front of the stage with just a few people in front of us and he put on a great show! I regret that I only took my point and shoot camera (which I now hate), but I managed to get a few decent pictures. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Powers' House: Reading List [2014]
http://powershouseblog.blogspot.com/p/reading-list-2014_4.html
Traveling Mercies is a memoir of Anne Lamott and her faith journey. I loved how raw and candid she was. (Book club selection). Young House Love: 243 Ways to Paint, Craft, Update. Your Home. 9829; - This was good, but not. I guess I've been spoiled by Pinterest). Cute ideas. I'm impressed by their skills. It had a few ideas I felt like I could execute. I had [kind of] high hopes for this book after I saw it on a list of top romantic reads that happened to include These is My Words. How to Be Rich. This bo...

The Powers' House: Homeschool Status
http://powershouseblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/homeschool-statusa-a.html
Thursday, March 12, 2015. When we began this homeschooling journey, I wasn't sure what to expect. I had significant doubt as to whether or not we could pull it off and whether it was truly the right thing for us. But as I sit here eight months into it, I can honestly say that I'm loving it, and the kids are too. They have never once asked to go back to school. Education is so much more fun and interesting the second time around! Homeschool Day at Sea World. And more time to just be together. And if I'm r...

The Powers' House: January 2015
http://powershouseblog.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2015. San Francisco [Day 3]. Now that I think about it, there wasn't a single day of this mini-vacation that we didn't hit the ground running. Day three's itinerary included the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, and Little Italy. We started off with a big breakfast at Home Plate upon the recommendation of one of the locals. It was excellent fueled us up for what was to come. We then went to catch a bus that would take us across the Golden Gate to the Marin Headlands. By the evenin...

The Powers' House: May 2014
http://powershouseblog.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 26, 2014. For months, the kids have been dreaming of and planning their perfect birthday parties. There have been lots of ideas thrown out there. Should we go to Peter Piper with all our friends from school? Should I have a sleepover with my best friends? But finally, Abby and Carson both decided that what they really. Wanted was to celebrate their birthdays with their cousins. First, we went for Happy Meals and playtime at McDonald's. Ready to go build bears! After Build-a-Bear, we headed ho...

Monday, March 16, 2015. I didn't really intend for us to have Spring Break, but then I thought. why not? So last week we played and had fun with friends and went to visit Grandma and Grandpa in Scurry. It was low key, but nice. Carson riding the dirt bike at the Rairdon's house. Abby and Anni built a tent in the front yard. A sweet moment with the kids on the way to Grandma's. The rain did not phase them. They played outside nearly all day. This is Carson's lizard, Lettuce, that he caught and brought home.
