LuckyDay: Holiday Ambitions
http://elizaping.blogspot.com/2016/12/holiday-ambitions.html
Friday, December 23, 2016. This holiday season has been great. I say this right before we celebrate G's birthday tomorrow and Christmas the next day. Our homeschool group didn't meet this month and we had less obligations so we had more time to celebrate our own traditions. We got up the 25 days clip board and filled the slots with exciting things like going to the carousel, and the car wash! This picture says it all. See those lights? He's got double ear infections. See that ribbon around his neck?

LuckyDay: September 2016
http://elizaping.blogspot.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 30, 2016. P is awesome. Last night he brought home a huge bag of taco bell. He had bought practically one of everything on the menu for the children to taste and experience. I love him. Posted by Lucky Day. Thursday, September 29, 2016. Followed by "Mine are literally vampires! I like my children a lot. Sometimes I'm frustrated by things they do. Most often I am frustrated by things that apparently I have not been successful at teaching them not to do. Posted by Lucky Day. So we don't h...

LuckyDay: voice from the dust
http://elizaping.blogspot.com/2017/01/voice-from-dust.html
Sunday, January 8, 2017. Voice from the dust. I got a message in my email and I didn't know what it was. "Pinewood derby notes"? What on earth could that be? So I opened it and found that it was in fact notes to myself for 1 year later! Today was great. Notes for next year:. Me: remember the scale! General: Set up chairs close to the track so there isn't room for kids to run. By the track. Babies walking on the track shouldn't hurt it, but. sorry my. Make it like a bracket? Posted by Lucky Day. I'm a pil...

LuckyDay: lucky day
http://elizaping.blogspot.com/2017/01/lucky-day.html
Friday, January 6, 2017. Our house is covered in books. I wanted to get the kids involved in organizing the books and get certain collections together. Now it's crazy. I told them I'd let them have chicken tenders for dinner if they did the job, then they pooped out. And I really wanted fajitas for dinner, but that left us with double dinner. So P texted the missionaries and they were here within 10 minutes! P was even able to get back to work by 6:10. Nice! Posted by Lucky Day. A very good place to start.

LuckyDay: "Your hands are full!"
http://elizaping.blogspot.com/2016/12/your-hands-are-full.html
Tuesday, December 27, 2016. Your hands are full! 15 in a school setting. It's really interesting. Yet so many parents are putting their young children in these situations. You would never think of taking care of 4 infants at once. That would be insane! Yet people are willing to leave their infants in these situations where the care provider will be stressed out and not able to give much attention to their child. Duh! Today we went to see a movie for the first time in 2 years. We left the children wit...

LuckyDay: February 2016
http://elizaping.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 21, 2016. Today a sweet friend held L for a while during sacrament meeting. She even took him out while he was fussing. Nice! Afterward she said "I hope that gave your arms a rest." L is delicious and this sweet friend always wants to hold him. And I appreciated the time to just pay attention to B. Similarly our "burden" of living the gospel is light when we love.

LuckyDay: August 2016
http://elizaping.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 30, 2016. Things I don't need. I had a shelf in the garage but P doesn't like to put holes in the house, go figure! So I needed a narrow table to mount a shelf to. I was interested in getting a baking rack but am not actually motivated to buy something that is not exactly what I want there. So we went to many thrift stores and didn't find a narrow table. I love kinetic sand! But he put in new pieces with rollers and it slides great now. Posted by Lucky Day. Thursday, August 25, 2016.

LuckyDay: Paw Patrol
http://elizaping.blogspot.com/2017/01/paw-patrol.html
Friday, January 6, 2017. My kids have been watching this show paw patrol that features different breeds of dogs getting gadgets so they can perform the functions of firefighter, police, park ranger etc. How could a show about puppies as rescue personnel be bad? Sorry kids, another show that models really stupid behavior. We don't need that. Posted by Lucky Day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My First Book of Sign Language. A very good place to start. Twelve Makes a Dozen. Toadstools And Fairy Rings.

LuckyDay: March 2016
http://elizaping.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 8, 2016. I used to make egg muffins a lot when G was little. Now they're back and better than ever! This recipie makes 24 muffins. I'm going to just leave that misspelled recipe in the blog for posterity because it really illustrates my relationship with recipes. 6 oz diced ham. 4 oz shredded cheese. 1 cup pancake flour (or flour levening of your choice; the eggs do enough without extra). 1 lbs cooked veggies diced ( I like to use a normandy mix). Posted by Lucky Day. I think the same appl...

LuckyDay: May 2016
http://elizaping.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 28, 2016. I've been a journal keeper since I was about 12. I'd like to challenge myself to be a log keeper. Maybe I'll make that challenge on my birthday. My kids have been reading my journal for about 3 years now. I don't give them the older ones because who knows what I wrote before I was being mindful of the audience. Posted by Lucky Day. Wednesday, May 11, 2016. This was the kids watching the men work on the new roof. The orange paint on the ground looks so festive. I know I've ...B and...
