Outside my window... LOVELY weather- but a little too muddy for me to totally appreciate playing outside.

I am thinking... that I shouldn't be sitting here while I have three cakes beside me on the table that need frosted.

I am thankful for... my soft, warm bed.

From the learning rooms...success for Ethan in his writing book today. No complaining and he wrote a really long paragraph. 

From the kitchen...lots of new recipes this week- chicken & dumplins, pizza (made with bisquick), roast beef & cheese sandwich bake, & creamy cheesy chicken bake. Also, cheese-stuffed meatloaf which I've made many times before. (Pics in a blog entry coming very soon.)

I am wearing... gray sweats, purple short-sleeved tee, purple/yellow/brown/white apron with teacups on it.

I am creating... a three-tier music-themed cake & and a violin cake.

I am going... to frost the cakes, write in my prayer journal, play a little GoStop, and then go to bed.

I am reading...the Bible. Not reading any extra books right now. After this weekend I don't have any cake orders for a while (at least not yet) so I will have more leisure time in the evenings... I hope.

I am hoping... 1. ... that the kids are good at the vet tomorrow. It was a little wild on Wednesday when we took Siam. 2. ... that when I deliver the cakes on Saturday they stay in one piece and don't tip over or anything.

I am hearing... Psalm 61 by Matthew Ward

One of my favorite things... singing in my high voice Voi Che Sepete and having Chase scream NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! because he wants me to sing M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E. I like to torture him a bit. lol

Praying for... so many things- Kendra & Cassie, The Ward family, a new baby born today, my Mom, my attitude when it comes to people saying rude/hurtful things

A Lyric or Two...

Psalm 61- Matthew Ward (Video below)

Hear my cry, Oh God. 

Give heed to my prayer.

From the ends of the earth I call to thee when my heart is faint.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For thou hast been a refuge for me.

And a tower of strength against the enemy.

A tower of strength against the enemy.

And let me dwell in thy tent forever.
Hear my cry, Oh Father.
Hear my cry, Oh God.
Hear me.

A verse to share... 

Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. Psalm 61:1-3

A picture thought...

All five kids looking at their treats on Valentine's Day morning. My heart is full when I look at this picture. I am so lucky to be able to be the Mom to these five people. Why did God choose ME? I pray that he grabs their hearts and never lets go. ♥

A few plans for the rest of the week... Lilia to the vet, Watchcare party, two basketball games, deliver the cakes, shop for carpet, Daytona 500, grocery shop, worship the Lord, exercise, sleep?!.

Come on now... you know you want to do this too!!!
