Zero would have to be my alltime favorite candy bar
Carmel and chocolate chews I have loved since I was knee high
Gumdrops I have ate from a very young age as well. I can remember my mother having a gumdrop tree that would come out at christmas time.How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! [Ps. 19:10; Prov. 8:11.]
Is Gods love not wonderful? It is to me you see although candy may fill our earthly sweet tooth God and his words in the bible fill our longing for eternity.
gratituesday
I find myself more and more grateful for the Heavenly Lord who watches out for each of us. I am thankful for my daughter and her family and a great visit that we just had together. Although we only see each other about 1 time a month that little baby Katelynn Casidy still knows that I am her mama and I am so proud of her for everything that she is. I am thankful for my son in law who works his tail off so that my daughter can stay home with her daughter.
I am thankful that My son started his first job and a good job on Saturday. He is looking forward to his first paycheck but I am happy that he feels the need to help his family out financially.
I am thankful that my middle son although not terribly athletic takes it upon himself to participate in sports and urges those on when ever his coplayers have an off day.
Most of all I guess you can say I am thankful for what God made me, a mom.

monday miracle our granddaughter
There is a blog which has a spot called mondays miracles. can i share with you about a little princes, my granddaughter that i love can be called her own miracle. You see she is a miracle (1) because my daughter and son in law had been told they could never have a baby please be careful when you say never when God is around because God never has a never in his vocabulary. (2) about a month ago she had the virus that causes meningitis they said she would be dead or loose mentality. First the virus was there and then it was no where to be found guess God does work in ways if prayer abounds. Praise God for this little girl for I know that He has plans for her. She will potray the baby Jesus in the church Christmas play allready he is working with her.

Outside my window:
The weather is a bit warmber but promises to get cold again. The sun has peeked aout a few times but does not promise to be out for long I can see the empty field which promises to be covered with snow this winter but at the present time looks like a fall day
I am thinking:
I am thinking about what a wonderful season christmas and what lessons I have learned from so many fellow bloggers. I have learned to save money, ideas to decorate, and the tips I have recieved have been used
I am thankful for:
Family, all of them , I have 6 children and each of them at this time are pleasing me. I am thankful my oldest son landed a great job. My son in law has also landed a terrific job. I am also thankful he was hurt no more than he was when he fell. I am thankful that I saved $21 dollars and the tips I have learned through blogs
From the learning rooms:
We are working on a few different things and incorporating lesson on themes. I have found some wonderful exercises to help stress handwashing and of course christmas
From the kitchen:
cooking up large pot of chilli and peanut butter plossoms to go with them
I am wearing:
comfortable yet not stylish sweatsuit but i do have santa on my sweatshirt

felt ornaments
Tonight we will be making felt ornaments. They are very simple to make and I will post pictures after they are done.
To make ornament you simply trace christmas cookie cutter onto a piece of felt. We will then decorate the felt ornament with beads, ribbon and such that we have had left over from other projects.
We will also decorate the christmas tree. Although it is up and with lights we had not decorated it yet so tonight will be the night. I am also going to prepare a big pot of chilli.
Chilli (we cheat just a bit but family recipe)
4 cans meaty chilli
3 lbs brown hamburger
1 large can stewed tomatoes
2 can chilli beans
onion, chopped
can tomato juice
spices to taste
This is how I make my chilli. His grandmother always used a chilli block and chilliman chilli but my mom always made homemade chilli using homecanned tomato juice and she would cook it all day. You can say that I went in the middle and made my own.
Well that is what I have going on today that I know about will post pictures later.
