(Now that Ben is able to walk we're putting him to work.)




Today I am thankful for...
1. my sweet neighbors who gave this gift to Ben for Christmas, along with gifts for all the other kids on the block.
2. my cousin Amy who surprised me with a box full of homemade goodies sent to my house from Kentucky! Watch out Cressie Prince, that's all I got to say!!
3. the Veggie Tales sing-along CD Amy sent for Ben for his birthday, it was in the box full of goodies. :)
4. making TWO meals today, apple pancakes for breakfast and meat/potatoes/vegetables for dinner! (Both recipes from my mom). :) Just so you know, I average about two home cooked meals A MONTH, so today was huge progress.
5. the coverings on my bay window.
6. feeling domestic today.
7. my mom feeling much better. Still sick, but much better.
8. the time I spent dancing with Ben this afternoon. (To the new Veggie Tales CD, thanks Amy!)
9. Mark giving Ben a bath while I finished dinner.
10. just a great day all around, I'm very happy.

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle

My New Language

My teen challenged me to a game of ping pong. Easy enough, one might think, but this particular teen has been playing for YEARS against GOOD players (my mother-in-law is a champ!). Not to mention his muscles are twice the size of mine and he's a least - dare I admit this - a solid three inches taller than I, probably four. He was so sweet when he asked, and I couldn't remember the last time he had, so of course I said yes. From the beginning he knew he could beat me. He is stronger, faster,  *sigh*  taller , and more skilled. So he, sweet thang that he is, played with his weaker hand, which honestly isn't saying much because the boy is straight up ambidextrous . He was still beating me. So he got on his knees. I kid you not. He put one hand behind his back and he. played. on. his. knees . Aaaaaaaaaand he still beat me. It probably didn't help that I was laugh/crying the entire time. He thinks it was because I was having the time of my life, and I WAS! But r

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)
