Thankful Thursday

Today I’m thankful for:

Last second protection from what could have been a really bad wreck on Tuesday.
The opportunity to teach the boys, without consequence,  the reason for sitting properly in a car with the seatbelt on.
A more organized and productive week.
A daughter and son, who saved me from an asthmatic disaster, by cleaning out the back [...]

Whatever Wednesday

No one played last week, so I’m gonna keep the same starting question.  Tell your friends to come and play with us each week!
Here’s the way it works:  I start by asking a random question.  The next person answers my question, and then posts another question.  Then, it just keeps going and going.  It’s really neat [...]

Life’s Work – Is it Working? (Part One)

We have just completed a 12-week study series at church on the family.  Priorities, Discipline, Time Together, Memories, Family Traditions, Family Devotional, Family Vacations, Family Relationships, The Church Family, Worshipping Together, Commitment, and Lasting Values were all topics studied and discussed during this time. 
It. never. fails. Each time we spend time studying one thing, it’s THAT thing [...]

Not Me! Monday

 
Welcome to “Toby’s Toasted Bananas” — the blog that’s kinda like the scene from “Forrest Gump”….you never know what name you’re gonna get!  
In the spirit of “Not”, I’m struggling to come up with something relatively interesting to post.
I was pretty normal this week.  (No comments about that, ok?! lol) 
Not much crazy stuff to confess, I’m afraid.  
Hmmm…..Let’s talk about [...]

He is Glorious!

When you need a reminder that God still cares…
When you need to remember all that He has done for you…
When you find yourself wondering just who’s in control of this crazy world…
Watch this: 

“For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.”  Hebrews 3:4
“You, Lord, in [...]

Thankful Thursday

For the large AND the small, today I am thankful for:

A husband who loves me despite me.
God, who sustains & reminds me that “it’s all worth it”.
Continual “I love you Mommy”s from my youngest son.
The meatloaf my daughter made this week, her first “real” meal!
The same daughter’s willingness to babysit while I took a girl’s day [...]

Whatever Wednesday

Keeping with the “Days of the Week” theme, today is “Whatever Wednesday”!
This was actually something I saw on someone else’s blog last year, and figured we might could have some fun with it!
Here’s the way it works:  I start by asking a random question.  The next person answers my question, and then posts another question.  Then, it [...]

Trivia Tuesday

Welcome to Trivia Tuesday here at “The Donkey Kong Monkey Blog”. 
(By the way, if you haven’t noticed, my blog name has changed, and is changing weekly.  The boys are naming it for me each week.  Last week was “The Super Big Blog”.  This week — “The Donkey Kong Monkey Blog”!  (Can you guess what he [...]

Not Me! Monday

Hmmm…..let’s see….What did I NOT do this week?!
Well, for starters, I did NOT sneak away to Sonic for a half hour of peace and quiet (and BLT, cheese tots, and lime slush). 
I especially wouldn’t do this because we are conserving our dimes due to my husband’s recent cut in his salary. 
And, if I did do [...]
