GROUNDED-Sunday PICNIC!

Let me just admit...I SPEND WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER! (Yes, honey, I know you are reading this and I am actually admitting this). Especially since MY COMMAND CENTER has had its makeover. I just LOVE MY SPACE.

SO, Today, I decided to GROUND MYSELF from the computer for 5 hours-I will admit, it was tough but I kept very busy. It's not like I sit here all day but since it's in the common area, I just check in on ya'all periodically. (You can see my command center chair in the upper right hand corner of the pics below.)

I cleaned out MUCH JUNK from counter tops and cupboards while painting & keeping my eye on The Daytona 500 in honor of THE CAPTAIN. The most fun thing was picnicking with the kids.

THEY JUST LOVED IT! AREN'T THEY ADORABLE!
I NEED TO GROUND MYSELF MORE OFTEN!

WE MISS YOU CAPTAIN LOVE!

GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD!

Captain LOVE!

Our Valentine's morning started out with a card to each child with reasons "WHY WE LOVE THEM" written on the inside & candy for breakfast! They also opened cards from Grandma which containted $2! THANKS GRANDMA!

UM..notice the VS bag for me-yay me!

Usually The Captain leaves at the crack of dawn the day he goes back to work but today THE famous 70's Rock Band that he will be flying doesn't need to fly until later allowing The Captain to spend Valentine's morning with us-YAY!

He found my crafting of the pillow cases to be superb and came out of the bedroom wearing his CAPTAIN LOVE shirt which I could NOT RESIST purchasing at Wally World yesterday-SO HIM!

We will say BON VOYAGE to The Captain around noon after a lunch of pink heart shaped pancakes and then make some Valentine crafts, study about the history of Valentines Day, look up THE LOVE verses in the Bible!

Happy Valentines Day from our house to yours-

enjoy and treasure THE ONES YOU LOVE TODAY!

My SPACE..WITH YOU!

Remember this? This is where our old stove used to sit. THIS IS NOW.... MY COMMAND CENTER-where I blog, facebook, email, homeschool and basically find all my entertainment besides what I get from my kids

This is my favorite addition to my NEW SPACE!!

The Captain is pretty much anti-anything leopard print and I'm an admitted LP addict....Ready to see MY SPACE????

Drum roll please................

All I can say is, it's BEAUTIFUL!

We still have to rip up the old floor, put trim up, change the door out that you see & some other minor details-

BUT I COULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER TO SHOW YOU!

The Captain and I make a GREAT TEAM and it was so worth the hard work!

FINGERPRINT FRIDAY!

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of God When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God And I know its true
You're a masterpiece That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do you see them? CLICK HERE to JOIN Bekis Blog in celebrating Fingerprint Friday...We got this "MASTERPIECE" in the mail today-a Valentine from My My and Bit Buts birth sister in Kindergarten-I see God's fingerprints all over this sweetness. Thank you Lord for allowing them to all be in each others lives-what a blessing!
