Fragmented Thoughts

Keith has discovered the wonderful world of arts and crafts.  I love that he asks several times a day if he can craft.  A boy after my own heart.  :) 


Oh the sweet joy on his face!  When I see how much fun he is having my heart just goes pitter patter.

Keith discovered the outrageous party in your mouth when you eat the delicious chubby southern cousin of chocolate; Nutella.




Bathtime used to be a necessary evil around my house.  That was until we stopped by the dollar store and found these great foam cut outs.  Keith begs for bath time now.  I should have made this discovery a long time ago.
And now for the real stuff.  Things have been... for lack of a better word, rough.  But that word doesn't do it justice.  It isn't really rough, but... something.  At any rate, the strain of ... life has been felt by both Jeffrey and myself.  In order to help him have something to smile about tomorrow at work, I prepared a little gift in honor of our anniversary-ish.  I made his lunch, and while he was taking care of some things, I put together a little sumthin.'   A total gag gift.  And then, he told me he had a barbeque at work tomorrow.  So much for my plan of slipping this in with his lunch.  So, I gave it to him a little early.  A few days early, but it was greatly needed now.  And had the desired effect, so all is good.

And here is a picture that just made me laugh.  How is it fair that my kids are the cutest in the world?.

I love your pictures!!Your kids are darling! Isn't it great when you start seeing your kids liking to do the things you like to do? Mine are grown now, but every week it seems that I dicover that they are pursuing the things I like. We have so much fun, doing it "together" and comparing notes!

Can I send you my children to do craft with? I have no patience for it, and they have a strong desire. Or, at least 1 of them does!

Life goes in cycles. As the scriptures say you have to feel the bad to know the good. (((HUGS))) as you endure the bad and :) for when the good will inevitably follow!!!!

There's nothing like Nutella! That's for certain!

Is it just me or does Keith look like Winnie the Pooh? Except his hand is in the nutella jar instead of the honey jar. Too cute!

And this too shall pass. We can't appreciate the good without going through the bad. I will pray that this period doesn't past long and that you have learned whatever God has written down in His lesson plans.

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
