More of the Surprise Project...

Remember the "Surprise Project" from a couple of weeks ago?

I made 3 surprises then...today I spent all afternoon making 2 more!

But you'll have to wait til after Christmas to see the "AFTER".

We woke up to this big project Sunday morning...the husband and the boys spent all morning working on it, and also helped out a few neighbors while they were at it.

D says be sure to encourage your children and show your appreciation. Children love to help with the work in such an atmosphere.

Tomorrow will be a day full of holiday projects...including that turkey I mentioned yesterday!

Daryl Hoole (aka D) says in her book, It is sad to hear a woman lament (I had to look that word up, it means--to express sorrow, to mourn), "I am just a housewife." If only she could realize that she is a homemaker by divine appointment. Making a home is a special mission for a woman. It is no accident. This is where God intended her to be...This task is second in importance to none...running a home challenges any other role in requiring intelligence, ingenuity, and abilities unnumbered. It...can bring the greatest joy and satisfaction of any type of work. We women must be proud to be homemakers.

I am proud to be a homemaker (and an American) and hope all you homemakers out there are proud to be too!

The Rules

1. I have to work on cleaning, organizing, or finishing something every day of 2010 with the exception of Saturday (since that's the day we get ready for Sunday), Sunday (it's a commandment not to work on Sunday Dueteronomy 5:12-15), holidays, and vacations.
2. I am to use the book, "The Art of Homemaking" by Daryl V. Hoole for daily inspiration and direction.
3. I can enlist help from my family and friends when necessary.
4. I am allowed to do a project on a Saturday, Sunday, or Holiday IF it doesn't interfere with any family fun or break any commandments.
5. Anyone can play along!
