Could it be....

So we had to nights of uninterrupted sleep...thanks to my baby girl! We put her to bed two hours later and she sleeps 4 hours longer. Could we be turning over a new leaf or is this just a fluke...

More to come!

Seriously...

I forget the pictures post at the top...read below for more details!

So I have been wide awake since about 3:30 this morning. First, little miss priss woke up because her diaper was wet...Fortunately she went right back to sleep after a quick change. Not a minute after she falls back asleep and my head hits the pillow doI hear little man. So I get up, tell him to come downstairs. But first I thought to myself, let's check his pull-up so he doesn't pee all in my bed. Pull-up dry as can be so I make him go sit on the potty. Long story short, he made it sound like he didn't need to go, wasn't going to go. Stand him up to put pull-up on and guess what I found...you got it! He used the potty!!!!!! He did not forget to remind me of the candy he gets for using the potty. I did have to tell him we would get it after breakfast.

So since I am awake, I am going to slowly start sharing some pictures with you.

Okay...the first picture is how I found my little stink pot sleeping one day. She was quite content until I started snapping pictures.

The next has a tad bit longer story...

I had just returned from Regional Track Meet. Feeding Addyson in the recliner, hubby in the kitchen, Peyton in his room. Suddenly we hear "Daddy"...then from daddy "What have you done???????" He had "gook" all over him. I smelled it...couldn't figure out what it was. It's like you know the smell but just can't put your finger on what it is. We (parents) start getting loud with each other..."Wher had he been?" "In his room!" "Are you sure?" Loof in our room...nothing. Walk into his room..."OH...MY...GOSH!!!!!" What used to be a FULL tub of vaseline now COMPLETELY EMPTY! All over him, the bed, the closet door, the tv, toys, the banester rails...EVERYTHING!!! Needless to say, daddy did a GREAT job of cleaning him up...still working on the cothes, though.

Have a blessed day!

Kids say the darndest things!

So our two-year-old is growing up fast. He thinks he's about 12...at least! Last night he was looking at an owner's manual. Hubby was talking to him and he turned around and said "Daddy stop talking...I'm reading". HE'S 2!!!! He doesn't know how to read! We laughed so hard! Then he went to VBS last night and had a great time...but when I asked him if he wanted to go back he said "no". Don't know why but okay. Hubby has talked him to say "you want some of this" and kiss his "bicep". What a great dad!

Little bit is wearing us out...OMG!!! She screams...all the time. She screams when she is happy. She screams when she is mad. She screams when she is tired. She screams when she is hungry. She screams when she is wet. She screams when she is dirty. (You tired yet?) She screams when I am not holding her. She just screams...squeals even! The nieghborhood dogs can hear her. I keep praying and telling her I love her.

Posting pictures soon so stay close.

Summertime!

Summer is here...YEA!!! But with summer comes cleaning...you know...stuff you are not able to do during the school year. I was SO pumped about summer cleaning...the last week of school. But now that it is here...I can't gather the energy to do it. I just want to sit around and sleep (go figure) and play with my kids all day. It will get done...I promise!

Please keep us in your prayers. We have to make a decision about something sometime this week. No details yet...nothing life threatening. We are praying that God makes it obvious to us both what needs to happen and that we (hubby and me) are on the same page. So far, neither have happened.

Other news...I have suddenly gone from "mommy" to "momma" to my 2-year-old. Don't really know how but it happened! Addyson is SOOOO rotten. Love her like crazy but she is bad sometimes. We just let her cry because we don't know what else to do that won't spoil her more. We are going to get her ears checked out AGAIN (for the 4th time)! Pray that goes well.

And for those of you who keep up with me, my dear friend did lose her baby. She has seemed to stay strong during all of this and wants nothing more than for our God to be glorified in the whole situation. But if I know her like I think I do...she still has her weak moments when she needs to cry. I wish so bad I was there with her but she is a long 4 hours away. Sister, if you read this, I love you and am praying for you. I will come see you soon.

Have a terrific Tuesday and until next time...

Garage Sale!

Getting ready for our big garage sale this weekend. When I say big, I mean BIG. Two families and we are getting rid of a LOT of stuff. Hubby said "If we haven't used it in the past 3-4 months then it needs to go." I quickly reminded him that there are more seasons than what occurred over the oast 3-4 months. Then he changed his mind and said the past year. Hopefully we can make some big bucks!...yeah right.

Visited my parents this weekend. It was a nice visit but very hot in their house. One of the ac's broke and they didn't try to fix it or go get a new one until the day we left. My kiddos slept in just diapers and were still sweating. But had a great visit. Peyton is still talking about it.

I met up with an old friend. It was great to visit with her and let her meet my kiddos. They probably made her swear off kids for a while!

Stopped by Casey and David's for a few hours. Peyton LOVED the boat ride with Uncle David but wanted to ride Mark's "big boat". Too bad he took the key :)

This weekend is Addyson's Baby Dedication. Hope it goes well.
