I need some suggestions. I really want to start having daily devotionals with the kids, but want to find a really good, and interesting, book to use. I looked at a bookstore this past weekend, but it was overwhelming. You've got ones for preschoolers. For boys. For girls. For teen boys. For teen girls. For families. For ages 6-10. For ages 2-5. For ages 13+.

I left with nothing.

So, if any of you have one that you have used that your children were really interested in and you enjoyed as well, please let me know. We have a wonderful Bible that was given to us and the kids love it, but I want something more.

Now a change of subject...

I know I need to do another updated post with photos, but we've been busy. And I haven't had time to download the photos from Easter onto my computer. Here's just a glimpse of Easter morning: Sophie was mad at me because I made her wear a dress that morning. And it was funny because she's actually into wearing dresses and skirts now. But she didn't want to smile or have her picture taken at all. I had to tell her that Mimi had a big booger in her nose (sorry Mimi!), but she didn't smile, just quickly turned her head and checked to see if I was lying. Great, I just realized I lied to my child ON EASTER to get what I wanted. Sorry, God. Probably why we didn't get a good family photo. I deserve it.

In other news, we are going to start getting ready to pack this weekend because we found out we have to move ourselves. I'm actually a little relieved. It's wonderful to have total strangers come into your house and spend 8 hours individually wrapping everything you own with paper and sticking it in boxes for you. But this means that on the other end, several rooms will be will be filled to the ceiling with this paper when you have to go and unwrap it all. And they wrap everything. Even trash. Or an open container with food in it and a piece of paper shoved in it so the food doesn't come out. I've seen it with my own eyes.

I'm glad they aren't moving us only because that means we will have to go through our stuff and toss or give away what we don't need. I told Brandon if it wasn't unpacked 3 years ago then it's going straight to Goodwill. Today, I threw out two trash bags full of old and broken toys. I didn't want to do anything, but I knew I'd regret it if I didn't get started. It felt soooooooooo good! My next stop, the massive amount of toys we have that are outside. That will be at least two huge black trash bags and I'm very excited about that! I've already got things picked out that I will be selling in the big consignment sale they have twice a year in Montgomery. Call me crazy, I already know.

Wish us luck. Say a prayer. I promise to be back soon with photos. : )
