"Mom, look how slow the rain is falling."
It is.
"Wait, it's slushing."
That's a good term to describe the weather.
"It's SNOWING, MOM!"
Yep, a bit earlier than expected.
Back to school and Japanese review in anticipation of a fun bit of time with Akikosensei.

I went to bed last night with head smoking......but got a lot done.
We did a bit of school. I RACED for the base for a Key Spouse "social". Arielle did a bit more school with the boys while I was gone.
We had piano lessons.
We headed back to the base again to do a bit of birthday shopping and realized we'll need to plan WAY far ahead for birthdays for anyone over 4. ::snort::
We dropped Jared off for Cross Training. Mike and he got home about 9 p.m. last night.
The rest of us came home and I worked on emails, wrapped presents, held a Regional Board meeting on Skype, adjusted a form for our needs, composed a "letter" for our region's page on the International website...found an old bio (updated) and photo (left it - 25 lbs lighter ::snort::) and sent those to our Admin Coordinator.
Headed to bed.....

Arielle and Stacia continue to share a room. We love to see Arielle take on a mentoring role in Stacia's life. I know it's hard work for her...and there are days when we all would like to focus on SELF rather than SERVICE....but this arrangment is turning out to ultimately bless our older children as well as our younger children.

Monday - Popcorn chicken (Yes, we had this last week. Mike & Jared won't be here. The littles love it...I use shake and bake chicken and do drumsticks or strips or popcorn chicken and they never tire of it).
Tuesday - Manicotti, salad, Fannie Mae Cake (can I find the recipe? It's Mike's birthday).
Wednesday - Dirty Rice et al. (Kristine's Blog)
Thursday - Crockpot Roast or Stew - VERY busy day with MOPS, Bible Study and MOSC.
Friday - Pizza and/or Nikuman

This upcoming week looks VERY busy...but I think we can do this. For more recipes click the Recipe link under the header.

Welcome to Day Two of our home tour. Today we show you the land of "Spare Oom" or the playroom/garage.

Living all of life before the face of God...
I LOVE our new chapel....it's such a blessing to have a spot that is HOME weeklong and doesn't have to be packed up at the end of each Sunday.
I wrote and am working on revising something for PWOCI. Funny thing is that I was UNDER the wordcount...went to trim more and added 30 words. Mike's red pen is now attacking.
Mike and I are teaching a class on grace and truth for the next month. I think it's going to be a good spot to focus for a bit of time.
The sermon resonated with me today - not that it doesn't often - but today it confirmed a direction I've been contemplating. Enough said.
It's storming today. We stopped by the beach. The look is changing and we love it. BIG waves today, and the water is reaching far up the shore...and the beach is littered not with shells today but with jelly fish.
