Been There, Wish I'd Done That: 48 Days and Counting

http://beentherewishiddonethat.blogspot.com/2009/01/48-days-and-counting.html

Been There, Wish I'd Done That. Saturday, January 31, 2009. 48 Days and Counting. If your little ones are fans of a certain TV show, incorporate events on the show into your lives. For example, when LA and AA were little, Sesame Street had a wedding. I invited some neighbors over, and we had a wedding cake, mints and punch while the kids watched the show. My kids didn't watch much TV, but I wanted to make it more interactive when they did. Spring is in 48 days - yea! Next week: healthy recipes. I'm a Chr...

Been There, Wish I'd Done That: Girl's Weekend #2

http://beentherewishiddonethat.blogspot.com/2009/02/girls-weekend-2.html

Been There, Wish I'd Done That. Wednesday, February 4, 2009. For each holiday, main ones and obscure, involve your little ones in the decorating and preparations. It makes them feel needed, and through crafts or just markers you can inspire creativity. For the upcoming Valentine's Day, have your kids make homemade valentines from doilies, lace, construction paper and sequins. Use safety scissors to let them cut out hearts and so on. Go crazy! My sister Jana has moved to Pampa. I'm a Christian mom whose k...

Been There, Wish I'd Done That: The Lord Sings

http://beentherewishiddonethat.blogspot.com/2009/02/lord-sings.html

Been There, Wish I'd Done That. Thursday, February 5, 2009. Build a "fort" on your stair landing, under a table, behind the couch. Make a simple one using a sheet, or find a large piece of cardboard to help. Kids love the small spaces; things that are just their size. It should occupy them for quite a while. Maybe you could climb in too? The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love,. He will rejoice over you with singing.". Christ...

Been There, Wish I'd Done That. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. If you've got an extra refrigerator or freezer in the garage, use that as an additional place to display all the artwork from your kids. Each time you drive in the garage, the kids will see you value their creative efforts! I teach in our youth group on Sunday mornings. This girls are part of the class. They're standing by our youth guy's bike. (It's not mine! Monday, September 29, 2008. Jana's Peanut Butter Popcorn. And to win in a nice way, t...

Been There, Wish I'd Done That: God Inhabits the Praise of His People

http://beentherewishiddonethat.blogspot.com/2009/02/god-inhabits-praise-of-his-people.html

Been There, Wish I'd Done That. Monday, February 2, 2009. God Inhabits the Praise of His People. While my two were very small, I made sure to keep the Tupperware and pots and pans low in the cabinets. While in the kitchen cooking or cleaning, the kids could join me and play safely in those dishes. Was it noisy? Yes, but it SURE beats the quiet I hear now! God Inhabits the Praise of His People. Yesterday's worship service was so marvelous! My heart was bursting with the praise of the One Who created me.

Been There, Wish I'd Done That: Ice Days

http://beentherewishiddonethat.blogspot.com/2009/01/ice-days.html

Been There, Wish I'd Done That. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Despite what my friend, Sharon, would say, snow and ice days are great for being lazy, playing games,. Staying in pajamas all day,. And just general horsing around. Kids need to see you take a load off, relax and have fun. It won't kill you to miss a day of "perfection"! Anyway, the hall closet was first, and the BEST. Because in it I found those large pictures we had taken of the kids at Sears, Wal. Cowboy - you get the idea. I love you insight ...

Been There, Wish I'd Done That: October 2008

http://beentherewishiddonethat.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Been There, Wish I'd Done That. Friday, October 31, 2008. Sit down at the table together as a family for your meals. I know that is a bold statement, but you must do it! Turn off the TV, and spend time talking to one another. You might be amazed at what happens. Ace and I are off on another TU adventure. Earlier this month, we went to Dallas to see TU take on SMU. That was a nail biter, but the Golden Hurricane won. We'll see AA before the 1:00 game and take him and his roommates out to lunch. Prayers fo...

Been There, Wish I'd Done That: December 2008

http://beentherewishiddonethat.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Been There, Wish I'd Done That. Sunday, December 28, 2008. As you are moving in all the new Christmas toys, put the same number of old toys away, or better yet, donate them to Goodwill. You'll keep organized, and you won't be overrun with more "stuff". We just took LEA to the airport to return to Chicago for another round of grad school fun. We've loved having her at home since Thanksgiving, but I know she's looking forward to getting back to her friends and life up North. My house is a wreck! AA had a m...
