Josiah had a wonderful first day of Joy School...He played with Lane, learned about the weather and the date, he learned all the rules to safely enjoy school and made a beautiful craft. I am very blessed to witness and to enjoy all the challenges of being one of Josiah's teacher. My neighbor Karie and I have embarked on this journey to help better our children for the future. This is a journey that we learned today will have many ups and downs and truly take more patience then what I feel I possess most days. But all in all I believe Karie and I will be blessed for embarking on this journey before us.
This was our craft today...we shaved crayons and place them between a folded sheet of paper. Then we ironed them inside a brown paper bag. To create this beautiful mosaic!
Then later in the day we were taking some pictures of Makayla Grace when Josiah decided to join in on the fun. This is always something I truly love to watch, my son love on his little sister. He is such a big brother! Josiah is always concerned with her if she is fussing or crying, he is very quick to say "Hurry "honey" Kayla Grace is hungry!" Josiah solution to Makayla crying is that she must be hungry. And yes my son does call me "Honey," if I do not answer to that then he calls me "Sweetheart or Mommy."
Not only did we find Josiah wearing his Lightning McQueen slippers, which he got up and put on, but he also managed to gather some other things from around his room. If you look closely he has a black "Lightning McQueen" bracelet under his bum, a variety of books spread out, Transformer watch with its interchangeable faces, stretchy caterpillar, blue Christmas blanket and Boz who is currently being smashed by Mater. Every night we tuck him in with a puppy, puppy blanket, "AL" his alligator, Lightning and Mater pillows and of course his Lightning McQueen blanket! And every morning we find most of these things on the floor next to his bed.
We have already decided that when we move this summer to our new house (still here in Minot), Josiah will be upgrading to a full bed. Not just because he has out grown his much loved toddler bed but mainly because he cannot sleep without all of his friends!
This is a view of our church. That snow is from the plow that cleared our parking lot. This is a common site around town.
Even more amazing are the pictures of our home. I wanted to post this today because as I am writing we are under a "Winter Storm Warning," which means we will have the following in the next 12 hours; 6 or more inches of snow and 3 or more inches of ice with high winds and blowing snow. I don't know about you but that just sounds awesome! Before this storm hits I wanted to post some pre-storm pictures.
As you will see from the next picture we have not had the time to DIG out our Christmas decorations since we have been home. However, I am not really sure we are going to be able to rescue these until spring!
I would take some pictures of the back yard but currently its a knee deep walk back there. So those will have to wait until we go back there to dig our patio furniture out.
