Time Out For Woman

I was able to attend Time Out For Woman this last weekend in Las Vegas and had such a fabulous time! I was so excited to hear from Shawni Eyre Pothier and Linda Eyre, they are wonderful woman that I look up too and strive to implement their amazing parenting techniques in my home! I was happy to get a picture with them and even get their autographs, heehee! I bought their newest book "A Mother's Book of Secrets" and am so excited to start reading it! Here is Shawni's blog http://71toes.blogspot.com/ Here is Linda and her husband Richard's parenting website http://valuesparenting.com/ The sisters awesome website http://powerofmoms.com/ and the sisters blog http://looslifamily.blogspot.com/

I had a great time with these wonderful ladies! We went shopping on our way into Vegas Friday, had dinner and then attended the Friday night meeting.

We heard from Dallyn Bayles (an amazing singer who is currently on tour with The Phantom of the Opera and has also been on tour with Les Miserables.) We also heard from John Bytheway, who is amazing as well, and from Ardeith Kapp! After which we stayed the night at the Marriott and heard from more amazing speakers Saturday. We heard from Linda and Shawni, Mercy River, Brad Wilcox, Jill Manning and Kris Belcher all of it was just fantastic! I can't wait to attend again!

Self Body Drawings

Max had started making his "body" drawing at school and was excited to show us (his secret) at parent night. Well, he had missed school that day, but was "well" enough to go that night, he was so excited to show us and then it wasn't up, because he wasn't there that day. I felt so bad. The parents were suppose to find where their child sat by finding their "body" drawing. Max had been talking about it all week, without giving away the surprise. I felt so bad when he realized his body wasn't up. He acted fine, but I knew he was a little sad. So I told him we will finish his at home and make Hanna and Van one and hide them for dad to find and guess who is who. The kids had a great time deciding where to place/hide their body. My dad was even in town that weekend to find their bodies too. The kids just cracked up showing them off!

Van in bed. When hiding Van's, it was on the girls top bunk under the covers, but I wanted a better picture. The kids had such a great time doing this!
