It is another gorgeous Colorado morning. Once again the sunrise has graced us with a sea of pink,yellow, gold, salmon and just a hint of turquoise. The mountains to the west are a deep purple and look as though they have been kissed on top with a touch of rose. \u00c2\u00a0Truly a beautiful way to start the day.<\/p>\n
The goal today is to be virtually unplugged from electronic entertainment . \u00c2\u00a0The most difficult aspect of this particular goal for me, is that it is much easier to finish the projects I have in the works while the munchkins are planted in front of the T.V. Thus…I must “Relish the moment” for the boys and put my need to “Complete my projects” on the back burner. \u00c2\u00a0It’s a good start for our \u00c2\u00a0“Family makeover”.<\/p>\n
The sneaky, deceptive critter in the attic is winning the battle thus far. \u00c2\u00a0No, “It” is not gone as I had previously hoped. \u00c2\u00a0Instead, “It” has stolen more treats without being caught. I have to respect this cunning little critter. I did, however, strategically place 4 pieces of “meese” poison out yesterday and they have been eaten. I am feeling bad for trying to get rid of one of God’s creatures, but my mom reminded me that I could very well end up with a colony of mice. EWW! I may lose a few battles to the critter, but I will hopefully win this war.<\/p>\n
My sweet man is still working in Seattle. \u00c2\u00a0The boys are missing him tremendously. \u00c2\u00a0They seem to do well during the day, but at night it is difficult for them to go to sleep knowing that their dad isn’t here. \u00c2\u00a0We had a delivery from Fed Ex yesterday that needed to be signed for and my eldest said, “I’ll sign for it mom, I am the man of the house now”. \u00c2\u00a0Of course I signed since it required an adult signature. \u00c2\u00a0Oh, what a big boy I have!<\/p>\n
The Harry Potter party is coming together. \u00c2\u00a0My friend, Roxy, made the wizard pouches\/goody\u00c2\u00a0bags out of an old, black, crushed velvet skirt. \u00c2\u00a0She added colored stars on the draw strings… they are hauntingly beautiful!! I am almost hoping we are minus one, so I can keep one for myself…key words..”Almost hoping”. The snitches are painted with movable wings, magic wands…all done, bookmarks ready, snacks and treats are ready to be found..cauldrons are waiting to be filled,, dining room resembles the dining hall in Hogwarts \u00c2\u00a0Castle…thanks again to “Roxy”, whom has a plethora of fabrics just waiting for me to play with. Lucky, lucky me… Just add kids and I think we are ready to “Party”.<\/p>\n
So, we are off for our Saturday challenge…First, breakfast… then…make the beds, get dressed, walk our “Paws”, play some games, clean the playroom, capture the dog hair(again)and maybe find a play date. Oh yes and pay some dreaded bills. Have a great day…until tomorrow.<\/p>\n
God Bless<\/p>\n
