It Only Takes A Sparks: Painted Toe Nails

Painted Toe Nails

Well, everyone seems to getting their toes ready for spring. Kristi had a wonderful time at a Day Spa yesterday getting her toe nails painted; Aunt Cindy and Ashley had a wonderful time getting their toe nails painted - I guess that Hannah Grace and Faith wanted their toe nails painted too!

At this point, Faith knew she was in trouble and wouldn't look at the camera

Hannah Grace did try to paint just her toe nails

While Daddy was out of town this past week-end, the girls and I painted our toe and fingernails. The girls loved it and continued to ask me to paint them again. I kept telling them that they didn't need painted again right now, we would paint them again on Saturday before church on Sunday... Well, today while I was trying to take quick shower, they decided to paint their own toe nails...and legs and hands.

After an hour of scrubbing them down with finger-nail polish remover in the bathtub they were finally clean and I sent them to their rooms while I headed to begin cleaning the living room. Finally around 7:30pm last night I was finished, after using every known carpet cleaner to man.

I know there are some seasoned mothers and some who might say, "One day you will laugh at this" - that is why I took the pictures from behind tears, so that one I day maybe I can laugh at the day I spent cleaning fingernail polish from my girls and carpet.

Today I plan to come down from my finger nail polish, carpet cleaner, finger nail polish remover "high".

SPOT SHOT... it's my new best friend. I just used it last week on some 6-month-old carpet stains, and they are completely gone. A friend told me about it, and I got some.

Wow, I hope you got some rest! Now YOU need a trip to the nail salon after that!; 3:58 PM

Taste and See

January 2011

For the next year, I hope to post a recipe at least once a week. It may be a old family recipe or a new one I found or something I have made up. I hope that the kids will join me in the kitchen on some days. Then, at the end of the year, I want to print them out and it will be a wonderful "cookbook" to give my kids.

I just finished reading Choosing to SEE by Mary Beth Chapman and in her book she tells of "seeing" God and His work all around us, no matter the situation. So, in thinking about the blog, Psalm 34:8 came to mind, Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him. So, I hope that in the coming year, as I am in the kitchen doing what I love for my family - COOKING - I can SEE that He is good and take refuge in Him. And then share that happiness on here and then pass it along to my kids one day.

I hope you enjoy the year to come and I pray that you will SEE Him each day.
