Maia had an Upward Basketball game yesterday and that is seriously, the only thing we left the house for! Her game went well. They didn't win but each girl on the team is improving every week. I LOVE it because it is Christ centered. The kids earn stars for verse memorization:) And they...wait for it...PRAY before every game!! Plus, they make a really big deal out of all the players. The kids get to run through a tunnel of fans and have their names called out over the loudspeaker!! When you add in strobe lights and loud entrance music it definitely makes the kids feel like SUPERSTARS!! Even the spectators get a devotional during halftime.
Today we went to church and came straight back home. Considering we've been cooped up here for the last 4 days, I am definitely feeling some cabin fever. We have kept ourselves busy baking and doing some crafts. I think I'll share some of that on my "MY Busy Hands" blog later today. It'll be my first post there. I used to have a scrapping blog but decided to expand it to all my craft and baking endeavors.
I think the rest of the afternoon will be spent with a good cup of coffee, the weekly grocery ads and a pile of cookbooks. I need to sit down and make a major grocery list/meal plan. Isaac is working on some stop motion film prep. Maia and Asher are telling me they're bored. I think I'm gonna dig out the paints for them! We might head out to the library for a bit, and then this evening, Isaac and Maia will be going to 2:52 Kids at church. We lead an exciting life around here people!!

Sounds like exciting times! Freezing days and having to stay in...ugh. That basketball team sounds really nice. I like the part where the kids memorize Bible verses; such a wonderful idea. When I was young, we had Bible Sword Drills in our youth group; boys against the girls...plus we had to memorize scripture. Those verses come to mind and bring me through the deep valleys; putting me right back on the mountain top again. Tell Maia to keep up the good work...love..Mom
