Randomness

I'm so glad spring is here!

I am very excited about Jonah being potty trained! Yes!

I am very proud of Noah and his perfect report card!

I am so thankful for my husband and his willingness to work hard to provide for his family!

I am so loving the sunshine! And the warmer temps!

I am overwhelmed by the amount of cleaning/de-cluttering I NEED to do. Where to start??

I LOVE Abbi's smile, so sweet and always laughing. Makes this Momma's heart happy!

Loves that I can wear Capri's again, and flip flops very soon. After my toes get painted!

Who doesn't love freebies!

So, I don't know about you, but who has time or money to go to the movies?  Taking our Party of Five to the movies can get quite expensive! Visit my review blog to find out more!

Sun!

Well...I guess we have caught a stomach bug or something here! The boys act fine, just will throw up every other day! I don't know what is going with them, but I will say, I am SICK of cleaning up puke and poop!

On to nicer things:

We have had some warm weather this week and I took the kids out in the back yard and took pictures while they played. Of course, since this day, it has RAINED and we have been stuck in the house!

Sunday Session 3-7-10

I searched for verses on Praise and I found some I really like:

1 Chronicles 16:9
Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.


1 Chronicles 16:25
For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.


1 Chronicles 23:30
They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD. They were to do the same in the evening


Nehemiah 5:13
I also shook out the folds of my robe and said, "In this way may God shake out of his house and possessions every man who does not keep this promise. So may such a man be shaken out and emptied!" At this the whole assembly said, "Amen," and praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.


Psalm 40:3
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.


Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
Proverbs 31:27-29
Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.


James 5:13
[ The Prayer of Faith ] Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.

Hey

Hey! I am still here!

I went to the doctor on Wednesday and found out I had tonsillitis and a sinus infection.  She gave me an antibiotic and a steroid and today I fell much better!

Although last night Noah started with what seems to be a stomach bug that has been ravaging our area! I pray that no one else gets it!

My mom kept Jonah last night, because Noah was supposed to go to a birthday party for a classmate this morning. Obviously, we didn't go! Poor thing, he didn't understand why he couldn't go! He feels fine, just can't seem to keep anything down!

So while Abbi is napping and Noah is playing the Wii and watching his favorite show, Phineas and Ferb, I am going to work on our budget, our menu plan, and grocery list!

Have a great weekend!

My new toy

Meet my new friend. So far I love him. I am still learning how to use him, but we are getting along great. I saved up money from babysitting and bought him. It was like love at first sight. On my side anyway! I really want a DSLR camera, but with my record, (I've had a quite a few cameras broken while in my possession!) I figured I should start on the with this and see how I do with it! 

Maybe in year or two I can get a DSLR......

Psalm 141

A psalm of David.

 ¹ O LORD, I call to you; come quickly to me.
       Hear my voice when I call to you. ² May my prayer be set before you like incense;
       may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.
 ³ Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD;
       keep watch over the door of my lips.
 ⁴ Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil,
       to take part in wicked deeds
       with men who are evildoers;
       let me not eat of their delicacies.
 ⁵ Let a righteous man ^[a] strike me—it is a kindness;
       let him rebuke me—it is oil on my head.
       My head will not refuse it.
       Yet my prayer is ever against the deeds of evildoers;
 ⁶ their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs,
       and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
 ⁷ They will say, "As one plows and breaks up the earth,
       so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave.^[b] "
 ⁸ But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD;
       in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death.
 ⁹ Keep me from the snares they have laid for me,
       from the traps set by evildoers.
 ¹⁰ Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
       while I pass by in safety.

I'm here, but not here

I am here, but don't feel like I am here! I got hit with a cold that is kicking my behind!

All 3 of my children have been to the doctor and gotten antibiotics for ear infections in the last 3 weeks. I thought I had avoided it, but last night I started with some coughing and my throat hurting, and this morning woke up with  hardly a voice! Not great when I have a 2 year old and 2 ones year olds! But maybe it will a calm day...

Speaking of calm, Jonah has chilled a little bit in the 2 year old attitude department. And I mean a little! I got a new book, Have a New Kid by Friday, by Dr. Kevin Leman. I ordered it from MOPS and so far the tips in it are helping. It is really about the parents changing their ways of doing stuff, but I have learned a lot form it. So far, as long as I am consistent, it is helping! So maybe it should be called, be a new parent by Friday, but that would make people not want to read it!

It's National Pancake Day!

In honor of National Pancake Day, for breakfast we had pancakes.

(Just ignore the crack for me, please!)

I let Jonah cut shapes with cookies cutters. He was very serious about this.

We had fun and that is what is most important!
