Earth Day!

I meant to put this photo in my breakfast post, but it accidentally got left out, so I'm adding it here. :)



These are some really good books and DVD's we got from the library that we have been reading and watching this week..



I found these "Animal Planet" coloring books for $1 and somehow restrained myself from buying the Earth badges in the next bin.



I have always had to be very careful about the cleaning products I use because I have asthma, so it's really nice that more natural products have become easier to find now. I especially love Method products that you can buy at Target.



Love love love soft organic cotton.



Yes, we've gone green..



Which turned into an impromptu photo session..



We talked about all of the things that we are thankful for that God created, including trees, birds, rain, sunshine, playing outside, love, ice cream, and.. in the middle of watching "Linnea in Monet's garden" E turned to me and said, "Mommy, I am thankful for family."



Oh, that makes a mama's heart burst with happiness!

I had a craft activity planned, but this day flew by and we didn't have a chance to do it, so hopefully tomorrow we will be making paper birds nests. :)

We also spent some time reading from Revelations in the Bible (A's favorite) and talked a lot about the New Heaven and Earth, which I also plan to blog about soon!

Last but not least, I spent a lovely evening with my new friend Heather. It was SO GOOD to get out of the house for an hour and talk to another mama over coffee! I could have stayed up half the night and am hoping to make it a weekly event. :) I had to restrain myself from taking photos, because although my kids are used to my constant documentation, I really don't want new friends thinking I'm a photo taking freak. (Which I am, of course.)

Anyway, hope you all enjoyed Earth Day in your own special unique ways! :)
