Fall Cleaning!

I know some people do this in the Spring :)
So, I've finally gotten to some deep cleaning at the parsonage!!! It feels so nice to have the floors mopped, old toys gotten rid of. Not too mention sending out that box of maternity clothes! I have so much more room in the closet now! :) I really want to wash the cabinets and some other random walls, doors, etc... But, that will have to wait until the Pastor is out of the house :) He does not breathe house cleaners as easily as I do. That man has just about the worst allergies ever. I don't think that the toy room has ever stayed so tidy for so long. Its been two weeks! I never thought that I would actually enjoy doing house work, yet I can truly say that I am enjoying being a SAHM! Praise God!!!

Football!

Aww, my little boy is growing up. He wanted his picture with his newest brother!

This is his first season playing football. It started off rough but I think he is getting the hang of it. His team is doing very well they have won all of their first five games. Can you say proud mama? Yes, he tackled the quarterback last week, though it was during the kick-off not during a regular play. I'm really happy to see him learning to tackle properly. I was a bit nervous at first since I have seen lots of Rugby players get hurt when they tackled poorly. I made him pose for me after his last game :)
here is a pic of him....

Columbus Day!

Oh, how wonderful it is when your little one finally gets it with using the potty!!!!
It seems so silly to celebrate, yet your saving time and money when they finally get it!
Aside from the time and money saved you don't have to mess with their mess any more !!!! Yay!!!

Ok, so Shadrach finally got it today and I'm so very glad! We gave him a sucker the size of his head and took him to see a BIG movie. :) Wall-E is now the potty movie for me.

Oh, another wonderful thing! My awesome husband decided to scan in pictures from our first years of marriage and some wedding pics!!! So, now I have digital photos from our early years!!!

From the Pews

I forgot what a magnet for attention babies are.
Infants and two year olds sure do catch peoples attention.

Try to convince your two year old not to make faces with the people sitting behind you in the pews and to just turn around and sit. Only trouble is when you turn to enforce your suggestions you find out that the other pew sitters are making googley faces at your two year old????
So much for we don't do that during Church :)

Then you want your infant to sleep through church so that you can concentrate on the sermon and not distract the other pew sitters. Then the preteen behind you keeps reaching over the pew and touching the baby!!!! It wouldn't be very nice to smack that hand would it :) Oh, well I guess it is all part of raising kids with an audience......

I hope that you all had a lovely Sunday! May God Bless you and Keep you!!! :)

Sleepless in Texas

Ok, so not really like the movie but, I was gazing at my now one month old and thought I would talk about him.

New babies are so precious. They change so fast and need you so much. I'm really glad that I am able to stay home with him and watch as he grows and changes. His two older brothers seem to adore him when they slow down. My two almost three year old always wants to hold his brother right when I'm feeding the baby. :)
Oh, well the baby is now asleep and I will stop writing now and try to sleep also......
