Small Successes

FaithButton

It's that time again - where has the past week gone? Here are my Small Successes from the past week.

1) We threw a birthday party for The Archangel Sat. night. On Fri. & Sat., I cleaned the downstairs part of our house to get ready. I also managed to find time to do a little weeding outside & the munchkins even wanted to help w/ that! The Archangel wanted a Bullet Bill birthday cake. For those of you who aren't familiar w/ Super Mario Bros., Bullet Bill is one of the characters. He's shaped like a bullet, has eyes on either side of the rounded end of his head, & has two small arms sticking out from the bottom half. I'll try to post his birthday pictures by this weekend, as well as The Princess's from Feb.

2) I mailed letters to Casinodad's parents in honor of his birthday earlier this month. I thanked them for all they've done to shape him into the wonderful husband & father he's become. Even though they divorced when he was young, they both had a tremendous influence on the faith-filled man he is today. I am so thankful to have him in my life!

3) I've managed to keep myself to a morning routine for the past week or so. I've been up, started my coffee, read the day's readings, & showered by 7:45am at the latest & before the munchkins awake (w/ the exception of Wed., when they were all up very early).

It's your turn - what are your successes from this past week, no matter how small? Share & check out others at www.faithandfamilylive.com.
