Pasta Roll-ups

We had these for dinner last night and they were O-so-good!

1 egg, beaten
15 oz. Ricotta Cheese
2 cups shredded cheese (I used Mozzerella)
1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
1 jar (26 oz.) spaghetti sauce, divided
16 lasagna noodles, cooked
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

HEAT oven to 375ºF.

MIX first 4 ingredients until well blended.

SPREAD 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish. Spread each noodle with 3 Tbsp. cheese mixture; roll up. Place, seam-sides down, in dish. Top with remaining sauce and Parmesan; cover.

BAKE 40 to 50 min. or until heated through, uncovering the last 10 min.

Grrr!

My Lord Knows the Way

Last night, Beau was having trouble falling asleep. I called him to my lap and he lay there for a bit while I rubbed his back and sang to him. (This is when Nana skills are necessary.)

I sang some of the same songs I have sung to him since he was born, some of the same songs I used to sing to his mother when I would scratch her back while she fell asleep.

I sang Sunday School songs. The songs I learned when I wasn't even as old as he is now. Songs that comfort my heart to this day.

My Lord knows the way through the wilderness,

All I have to do is follow.

My Lord knows the way through the wilderness,

All I have to do is follow.

Strength for today is mine all the way

And all that I need for tomorrow.

My Lord knows the way through the wilderness,

All I have to do is follow.

AND

He's able! He's able! I know He's able!

I know my Lord is able to carry me through.

He's able! He's able! I know He's able!

I know my Lord is able to carry me through.

He heals the broken hearted,

And He sets the captive free.

He makes the lame to walk again,

And he makes the blind to see.

He's able! He's able! I know He's able!

I know my Lord is able to carry my through.

AND

When we walk with the Lord,

In the light of His word,

What a glory He sheds on our way.

While we do His good will,

He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.

Trust and obey,

For there's no other way,

To be happy in Jesus,

But to trust and obey.

Beau fell asleep. I felt much better. It's a win-win.

Beau Singing

We were in the Teacher Store this weekend buying some stuff for a bulletin board I did at church (photos of that later). Beau saw this flip chart that they used in kindergarten while they were doing their color unit and sang for us!

He's growing up so fast and yet, he's still so little. Every time I play this, it makes me smile.

Word Cloud

I haven't blogged much lately. I'm working on getting back into the routine. In the meantime, here's a word cloud of the most common words on my blog.

A Giveaway

Through one blogging friend, I found a giveaway on Gene's blog! I'd love to win this Fat Quarter.

So saunter on over to Gene's blog and look around, and I guess it's okay if you enter, too, but I'm going to win!

Kindergarten Ups and Downs

Beau loves kindergarten. He's gone for five weeks and I think he's only woke up one day and wanted to stay home. That's a pretty good record.

His class has a behavior chart. It's a caterpillar that looks like this one:



All the kids start the day out with a clothespin on the green smiley segment. If they break a classroom rule, they move their clip down to the plain green section. We all deserve a second chance right. Subsequent problems move the clip on down. Yellow, orange, and red have different consequences.

Most days, Beau gets green. In fact, most days he gets "smiley-face green." But this week, he had trouble. He and a couple of other boys got in some kind of competitive tussles for a couple of days. We talked to him. My Hero went and talked to the teacher. I prayed with Beau each morning before he went to school asking Jesus to help him choose right.

And Yay!!!! Both yesterday and today, Beau came home with green. He's proud of himself and I'm thankful for the chance to watch him grow.
