Monday morning!So beautiful out! Sun shinning Blue sky, and a lite breeze!
Fresh coconut in the oven drying clothes out on the line.I love the smell of the freshness in my clothes! 


Our today is looking good! Have a nice turkey supper planned with a marshmallow roast for dessert.The kids are so looking forward to it. We have to bring our school portfolios up to date,we have our facilator coming  this month to make sure the girls are fine!She is really great!Beth is her name and she has been a blessing over these last 3 years we have had her! I am also hoping to get our bookcases tidy today!


I do have to up date my menu!I almost forgot! I am sure turkey leftovers will be on there as well as ham and hamburger.I think I have so bbq beef from the freezer and terriyaki pork too.Breakfast this week will be biscuits,egg casserole,pancakes and french toast.Lunches are going to be leftovers,a lot of leftovers!


We have been talking this weekend with our children about family values and how ours are different from  the people we know around us.Our 16yr old daughter is having some trouble with this.Oh I know she is growing and all about letting her go but it doe not have to mean let her run WILD!! We believe in some kind of courting,going out with a group of friends,becoming BEST FRIENDS before doing the dating thing.


We want our children to learn life skills.I did not grow up having very good skills and have learned a lot on my own and fro my foster parents!God gave me a blessing when he brought them into my life! We want our children to be happy with less.Stop this I NEED EVERYTHING thinking! Our kids don't have cell phones,ipods,game boy,(oops..sorry DS- I have been corrected..LOL!),Genevieve has a cell that is one her privileges of being 16!


We are trying very hard to to slow our lives down to enjoy it and be blessed! It is very hard to do once you have gotten into the RAT RACE ! We  are now taking the time to go to the field across the street to play ball with the kids,and you know what they actually LOVE it!!  the other kids who are hanging around usually come running and ask if they can play. We have fun and even laugh at ourselves running the bases or having that race between the soccer goal posts! Now posting picture of this would make you laugh to hard and may cause health problems so I just won't go there yet!..LOL!!


Oh so much to say today!...I will stop for now, my daughters  are making fun of how much I am writting!..Silly girls!


You all have a great Monday! Many Blessings!
