I am linking up with my friend,Mom's The Word to participate in her Monday meme, "Making Your Home Sing Monday." It's a day when we share what we are doing to bless our families in our home. If you would like to join in, click here.This week is definitely going to be a challenge! Not just for me, but for my kids as well!
Our church starts VBS this week which means no staying up late for my kids since they have to be up early in the morning!
Miranda, my eldest daughter, is going to be in the play that they are having all week, so instead of us being there at 9am, she has to be there at 8 for practice...everyday!
That means, everyone has to be up by 6:30 to take showers (and hopefully eat). Now, if you know my kids, they're barely up at 8am, sometimes 9, so you can imagine how our mornings are going to be!
The way I'm going to make my home sing this week is by making sure that:
1. They get to bed at a decent hour.
2. They already know what they're wearing the next day.
3. They eat a little something before we go.
2. They already know what they're wearing the next day.
3. They eat a little something before we go.
And Lord willing, we will run like a well oiled machine!!
So, if you get a moment...pray for us!! :)
I will pray for your dear family.

Good luck getting the group ready for the day:-) I usually start the day around 5 and get everyone else going around 7. That way, we have plenty of time to get everything done that we want to do. Huh, no wonder I am always tired:-)
ReplyDeleteI will definitely say a prayer for you not only that things work well each morning at your house, but that lives will be changed through VBS!! Have a gr8 week impacting the kingdom!
ReplyDeleteOH my! What a busy week but I just know you will shine like you always do. :O)
ReplyDeleteour church has VBS at night,but I was wondering did you consider showers at night one less thing to do in the morning??? Also cook up a bunch of pancakes they heat up rather quickly in the oven and you can even wrap them around a sausage link or put a littl pb on them just like a sandwich. have a blast!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to be SUPER busy this week! Our VBS was early in the summer...before we got out of the habit of getting up early from preschool! Now I am worried about school starting back in a few weeks because we aren't used to getting up and moving early right now either! Have fun at VBS this week!
ReplyDeleteI will say a prayer for all of you!
ReplyDelete♥Hope
You will be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteOf course I will say a prayer for you! Y'all are gonna have a great time:)
ReplyDeletePraying for a great week for all of you!!
ReplyDeletePrayers for a great week. And I don't know how I feel off your follow list...but of course I put myself back on.
ReplyDeleteWe're doing VBS in two weeks ... a little late...and we'll have the same challenges!
Wow, that stinks! Good luck with that one! Saying a prayer for you!
ReplyDeleteI have all confidence you and your kids will do just great. Busy week, but you do such a wonderful job with your kiddos.

ReplyDeleteI could have done Making Home Sinda monday today because there are so many changes that are about to happend at our home. We are putting everything down in a list to make sure we stay on it.
You guys have VBS at the same time that our church in the States, we missed it for just a couple of days, they girls were so sad... i can´t believe we didn´t check into that before scheduling our trip bak... :( VBS is such a great time!
I'll be saying a prayer for ya'll.
ReplyDeletePraying VBS week goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely praying! Hope you guys have a great week!
ReplyDelete... already know what we're wearing ...
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS CRUCIAL!! sometimes that's the one thing that makes me late. I have learned to PLAN ahead the night before! :) Hope your home sings all week long!
My daughter does not believe in mornings either. Praying for your family to make it through the week.
ReplyDeleteAdorable picture!
You can do it Alicia!!! I miss VBS - haven't done it in a few years...then again, I use to coordinate it so there are some things I don't miss! ;-) Have FUN!!!

ReplyDeleteYou´re going to have a great time! I will pray for you all right now! "God give you strength to be a strong Mommy!"
ReplyDeleteI almost had a panic attack just thinking about waking the kids up at 6:30! Seriously, that would be hard week for me, too. I hope it goes well. I know you kids are going to have a blast!
ReplyDeletePraying you guys have a wonderful week @ VBS!!
ReplyDeleteVery smart! A successful, stress free morning really does start the night before!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice when the kids are older and don't need help getting dressed, isn't it. However, that doesn't mean that they are organized, lol!
Thank you for linking up today!!!!
Goooooooooooooooooooood luck!
ReplyDeletegood plan... now that you are half way through the week, how is it going? it is my experience it gets harder to get up as the week goes on! good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that VBS was great and that all went as planned for this week!
