One of THOSE weeks...

It has been one of those weeks around here.  The kind where it would be nice to just stay in the bed but that wasn't an option.

It started off with a little Operation Big Girl Room.  I had been to IKEA for some shelves for our girl's bathroom but as my sweet hubby was putting them up... he hit a wire in the wall.  Thankfully, he is very smart and his uncle is smart about this stuff too so... After Meme and Papa came over to assess the wire/wall dilemma... it was decided the wall had to be opened up so they could fix the wire.  A hole.  In the wall.  And so it begins...

Then my over 2 year old child decided that 1:45AM was a perfectly acceptable time to wake up that night/morning.  And not go back to sleep until nearly 4AM after some very intense squalling and poop {a completely different post for another day...}...

After little sleep, a bit of rushing to get food ready to take to our church leadership AND get my girl to PMO on time... I hit the side mirror of our car.  Not like a little oops.  Shattered.  Mirror still attached but shattered.  My girl is crying because Mommy might have let a few colorful words fly... 

She had a ROUGH day at school and I had to pick her up early.  My usual 4 hour break was reduced to about 2 hours.  Who really needs to go grocery shopping for Thanksgiving anyway?

The next day was a breath of fresh air!  Literally!  My girl ran a few errands with me then we met sweet friends at their neighborhood park for a picnic and play date!  Praise God for great friends and sunshine!



The following day was fairly uneventful which was a blessing because the one after it... plenty to think about and react to...

Let's just say... we have had lots to pray about this week.  Lots to think about.  Lots to schedule.  Lots to consider.  Lots to evaluate.  And lots to be thankful for.

 I rearranged our living room {again} while my hubby was out of town and made a little spot for our girl's crafty goodness!  Thank you, Laura for the storage ideas and the nudge to get this done!
 I did {finally} get our Thanksgiving Tree painted.  Now we just need to catch up on our hand print leaves and what we are thankful for...  Thanks, Andrea for this whimsical take!
 I bought sunflowers!  You can't help but smile when looking at these beauties!
My girl helped me make break-n-bake Gingerbread Spice cookies for a sweet friend!  Can you see the sugar sprinkled on top?  Oh these are a favorite!

No matter what may come our way this week or next or in the coming months or years; we know that our God is greater...
