Bible Study

Every week I look forward to Fridays because it's the end of the week, but mainly because I know our Crown class is going to meet tonight. I am so blessed each time we meet. I am so thankful for how God ordained our group to have people from different areas of life and at different stages. Chris and I are excited to be leading a group again. Today was a nice day other than the frigid temperatures. We were finished with school by lunch, so we spent the afternoon getting ready for the weekend. The kids cleaned their rooms, and played nicely together. I spent the afternoon getting lesson plans ready for next week because I didn't want to spend a Saturday with nothing planned doing lesson plans. I called Boonshoft museum and was able to sign Nathan and Kara up for the next homeschool lab on April 5th since they will stay until April 6th. I also called and ordered a plant to send to the funeral for Marie.

Relaxing day

Before we went to bed last night, Nelda called to tell us that Marie had passed away at 9:15 pm. We all felt very sad for Nancy. We found out later in the day that the funeral will be on Saturday at Noon, so Nancy planned on coming home on Monday and then coming with the family next Wednesday. We will be so excited to see them all!! I was so excited to have an "easy" day today. The best part was that Chris got to be home before Jason had to go to practice, so Rachel and I stayed at home and played cards. We eat supper later on Tuesdays and Thursdays now, but it works out so much better, because then the kids aren't begging for snacks before bed. While the boys were gone, Rachel and I went to Toys R Us to look for the present she wants to get Jason for his birthday. She would like to get him a new binder for his baseball and basketball cards, but we can't seem to find one at the several stores we visited. We were excited to find kites though, b/c the they have both wanted to fly kites since winter is almost over, and we have seen people at the parks flying them.
