It's been real.
As Forest Gump said, That's all I have to say about that. (:
My goodness, time is swiftly passing by isn't it? I cannot believe the second semester has begun and spring is quickly approaching. Easter will be here soon and SpRiNg BrEaK! Oh my goodness...life is like a merry go round. Faster and faster...and then it stops.
I want days to remember with smiles and laughter. Friends and family. Pictures. Reunions. Love.
Kids are growing up so fast. All made A/B honor roll(; yay! Dd got her Beta club certificate and pin, and her Spanish 1 pin...oh that big event will be here before I know it. Ugh.
Ds will graduate 6th grade. They took cap n gown pics. (:
Baby ds is reading up a storm, loving Amelia Bedelia and Frog and Toad are Friends. (:

Here's to life...serving Jesus has the best rewards! Follow Him!

From the hymnal

Take my life, and let it be consecrated

Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to thee, take my moments and my days let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of thy love. Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for thee.

Take my voice and let me sing always only for my king. Take my lips and let them be filled with messages from thee. Take my silver and my gold not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect and use every power as thou shalt choose.

Take my will and make it thine it shall be no longer mine. Take my heart it is thine own it shall be thy royal throne. Take my love my Lord I pour at thy feet Its treasure Store. Take myself and I will be ever only all for thee.

Romans 12:1

Oreo cookie popcorn

So I have recently become a Pinterest addict, and during one of my many scrolling searches, I found the most amazing snack!!! It.is.awesome. My whole family approved it as a keeper.

It is

9 cups popped corn
1 pkg of vanilla almond bark
24 Oreos crushed

Melt the almond bark, add crushed Oreos and stir. Pour over popped corn and mix well (we used hands and it was yummy)

If it lasts long enough, keep refrigerated.
