Our family goes through at least 5 canisters a week of hot chocolate; one cup in the morning with or before breakfast and then one in the afternoon after the animals are fed.

The Man and I have been reading from a devotional at night together. He is so not the devotional type...but we are loving this time together. The conversations begun have been really good; places we don't normally visit.

I think I read this over at Ann's. When I have a discipline issue come up, and trust me, they do. I ask these questions of the offender:
♦What did you do wrong?
♦Why was it wrong?
♦What are you going to do differently next time?
♦Can I count on you? Is that a promise?
Really effective tool to gain understanding into their little minds.
Really effective questions for them to ponder to dig into their own little hearts.

I am meeting with my priest every other week for some spiritual direction/counseling. He is a complete and total sanguine. I lean towards the choleric/melancholic...this should be interesting.

The Man and I went on date the other night. The food was gross and I've had heartburn ever since. But it was fun to be out, alone.

I have completed two books so far this year. That's more than I have in a number of years; unless you count school read alouds or picture books.

The last of the Christmas snow has finally melted. The kids ran and played hard yesterday...and came in very wet.
