Okay, so I am a to-do list kind of person. It's so bad that my favorite Christmas gifts from my husband this year were these two fancy list pads he bought for me from this swanky gift shop in Raleigh called Swoozies. Never mind the watch, clothes, or Kitchen Aid mixer- I loved the list pads.
That being said, you'll understand why this weekend was such a delightful one for me. We have had a commitment every Saturday since Christmas, until this weekend. So, Friday night I told my husband that I really wanted to get the schoolroom organized this weekend. I've been trying to get it "just so" since we moved in in November and there just wasn't time. I had gotten it functional, but not where I wanted it.
So, my sweet husband, having been a student of my "issues" for 13 years, took it upon himself to help me. But, he did it in such a beautiful way. He took my four children out for the day. He fed them lunch, got all 4 of them haircuts (the girls posed for the above picture), he picked up groceries, and even went to Staples and found just the right 3" binders that I needed for my new Tapestry of Grace curriculum for next year.
While they were out, I got my school room finished, listened to 6 Family Life Today episodes and a Focus on the Family too. When they came back I was refreshed, de-stressed, encouraged, and more in love than ever! I think that might have been a better gift than my fancy list pads. What a guy!

I returned my 3" binders for 4" binders this time...it was just didn't "fit right" for me. :) ~Sabrina
Christy,
You've been tagged. I hope you don't mind. It was actually kind of fun and was a very needed distraction for me. You can find instructions on our blog.
Blessings, Rebecca K.
Hi Christy. I just found your blog. We are adopting with Gladney, too. But you are SO far ahead of us! We also started at the beginning of the year, but still have a bit to complete. I'll be keeping an eye on your blog!
