L.E.N.S. Challenge - PE

Pin It

The LENS Challenge for the week is PE.  

I know I have posted this picture before; not for a challenge but because it is one of my favorite pictures ever.   I was a little excited to have an excuse to post it again. 

This is PE for us.  The girls both take dance, and that's pretty much it.  This is from their recital this December.  We do spend some time with Wii Just Dance and riding bikes, and of course the little one spends time jumping off the couch, but dance is the only more formal PE type activity we do.

I'm linking up with Home is Where You Start From, so hop on over and see what others do for PE.

Pin It Assumptions by Lysa TerKeurst -- I really just loved this!

Are You There, Wendy? from (in)courage by Wendy Willard. Can. Relate.

Restless also from (in)courage by Especially Heather. Wow. This is exactly where the Lord is working on me this week.

Esteem Yourself, Raise Hers from We Are That Family. Every mom of daughters needs to read this.

Guard Your Kids from Holiday Greed - from Courtney from Women Living Well (guest post at The Homeschool Village) Oh, how this resonated with me! The "Give This Christmas Away" theme has been rolling around in my head since the Toys R Us and World Vision Christmas catalogs arrived on the same day.

Pin It Nothing Left This was so good! I've had days like this and I know you have too. Thank you Annalea!

And this ... you just have to watch it.

I would really like a snickeloaf please.

Pin It The Love With Which We Perform - Wow. No words. Moms too busy keeping your plates spinning to feel effective? Too little time to do the things which you think are *really* important? Read this.

Feeling Overwhelmed? Well, I certainly can't relate to this at all, but I thought some of you might be able to. ;) Riiiiight. It really is fabulous though, and I know I will be referring to it often!

Cones & Holes from Shaun Groves - I just loved this and thought you might too!

Conservation - from Beautiful Chaos. This is my friend Jessica's sister Hannah, and what a fabulous post! HAD to share it!

Okay, can't even believe I'm going to put this here, but I have been laughing out loud at this site all week and must share it. Oddly Specific. It's part of the Cheeseburger network, or failblog, and there are a few in there that I found inappropriate. Most are just plain hilarious though, and not inappropriate. :)

Pin It The Cure for "Mommy Guilt" - Just thanking the Lord that His grace is sufficient.

At Least Faith from Stuff Christians Like - I love this blog. His "Serious Wednesdays" posts always grab me, and this one seemed to fit with what I was thinking about this week. If you don't read this blog regularly, give it a week or two! Hilarious, and so true, and the Wednesday posts always seem to just be perfect!

Visiting the Village - I just really appreciated this post!

Why Profanity Matters - this is from Plugged In Online, and I just loved it. It goes along with the "true, noble, pure ..." thoughts that have been in my head all week perfectly!

Difference Between Men & Women - this just made me giggle.

Pin It Okay, so I have a TON of blogs I read. They go into my google reader, and where some people read newspapers or news sites in the mornings, I read blogs. (Which means SOMEBODY better tell me if there's major news happening that I should know about, because I'm probably reading somebody's blog and giggling away, totally unaware.) It happens all the time that I'll read something and think "OH! That's fabulous and everybody should read it!" That said, I'm going to start saving links when I read them, then post whatever is there on Saturdays. That's the plan anyway. We'll see if I stick with it ...

So, without further ado ... this week's linkies:

http://www.aartipaarti.com/2010/09/19/kiss-your-blessings/ I fell in love with Aartie while watching "The Next Food Network Star" but didn't click over to her blog until a few weeks after the competition ended. What a treasure! Read this post, then read some more of her blog. You're in for a treat!

http://shaungroves.com/2010/09/when-god-comes-by/ There are just no words. Read, listen, be moved, and be blessed.

And finally, yep, finally for today - I just decided yesterday to do this, so I only have a couple of links for you this week -
My dear friend Micah is scary creative. LOL She created a new blog this week and I have to share it! I have one of her makeup bags and not only is it the cutest thing ever, the craftsmanship is fabulous! See pics on her blog! (And I need to pull out pics of my middle one's "Minnie" dress that Micah made for her before our first trip to Disney! Oh my at the fabulousness!!)
So ... go to her blog: ShabbyShae and see the awesome things she's doing!
(Oh, and as soon as I find THE fabric, she's going to redo our piano bench! I'll be sure to take pics of the work in progress. Maybe not before pics though. The cover was kind of ... um ... DONE ... and that was BEFORE the little one got toothpaste all over it.)

Did you go to her blog yet?

Have a happy Saturday! I'm off to do some work in some bedrooms that belong to the little people who live here. Let's hope I make it out alive. It's questionable.

Did you check out the links?
