SUNSHINE, AIRPLANES, MUD AND SWORDPLAY

Today was beautiful. what a blessing from the lord. i got home from some early morn errands and decided it was so sunny and nice I'd take the kids to the park and for anyone who doesn't know my son well he's kinda wild well anyway he promptly decides to take off his shoes to give his socks a mud bath that boy socks deserve quickly finding the deepest puddle in the park. Later we are sitting there together on the slide platform and an airplane flies by and james said "an airplane an airplane daddy's up there." Oh, we miss our daddy more than even I could tell a week is just toooooo long away to be split in half. Enjoy him while you can and may the lord bless him with the vacation in this wife's humble opinion that he sorely needs and deserves. well enough mushy stuff back to fun in the park. So after awhile james decides he wants to sword fight with sister but my sweet abby is busily collecting acorns for squirrels and is completely absorbed so i decide to play we had so much fun james is such a swash buckler but then later of course james decides to combine mud with the sword and paints sisters hair brown with sticky gooey mud. oh no well bath time and then hopefully some rest. :D

mother daughter time

life

Dishes and dusting can wait till tomorrow, for babies grow up we learn to our sorrow. So goodnight laundy, dust go to sleep, I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep.

night time scare

Abigail and I were on our way home from church last night and when we got to my street we turned off the main road and there was this car driving slow way to far over on our side going the opposite direction. They were ... headed to the main road so i moved over on my side and slowly came to a stop in the road to give them plenty of time and space to pass, when all of the sudden they start speeding backward and pull backward into the carqwest driveway. Anyway at this point Im just thinking maybe they're just mad because I didn't move over so after waiting a short time to see if they were wanting to try to go again, they didn't, so i started to go i barely passed them when they pull our fairly fast and start tailing me really close at this point I'm getting concerned to say the least. So I'm getting reading to pull into my apartment driveway with this scary car following me and driving very suspiciously when God sends to cars pulling out of the driveway and the car for whatever reason pull off to the side of the road. I called my husband, extreamly thankful at that moment for him, and he came out and got me to the house. After praying about it i was able to sleep just fine. Thanks to God for taking care of me and abby

prayer request

please remember my family. My little ones have a really yucky cold/flu thats not letting up very much after 4 days Jordan and I have had it for two. My poor babies have such bad coughs but I'm thankful the fevers and throwing up are gone, and God allowed me to not get sick untill that worst part was through. Jordan to has been better than us but still sick and he has to work :( poor guy. I know it could be worse and I'm so thankful for Gods mercy but would ask for the prayers of my sweet brethren and i try to pray for all of you. p.s. i want pictures of that sweet new girl of melissas congrats and condolences on steve. love you all

hubled at the grocery store

First of all I have to say I am in a way thankful for this experience. I went shopping for my wic today at dairymart. In case anyone doent know wic is like vouchers for free milk and cheese and other stuff for children under 5. Anyways i asked when i walked in if they accepted wic they sais yes so i got all done and was running late for picking up a little boy so i needed to hurry. Well i got 2 half gal of whole milk witch is the only kind i like for my kids for healthiness. Anyway they told me i couldnt get that kind without paying a $2 deposit. So i wasn't mean to them but i was very picky and difficult about the issue and when i got home i just felt so asshamed because really a deposit you can get back if you bring the bottles back in and even if you couldn't i just really had a complaining heart and so hopefully I'll learn how to be a better servent for the lord through this little bad experience and pray for me that i wouldn't be forgetful of who i should be before my sweet father
