• Good morning,  I started this blog once, and then it kinda went bollistic on me.  *sigh*  So we'll start over. 

  
  

  Its a beautiful fall day.  Blue sky, sunshine, and a bite of cold in the air. 

  
  

  Kaylin cut out another nursing.  So for all practical purposes she's down to two nurses a day.  Part of me is super sad about this.  But the other is glad it hasn't been traumatic, but has been totally her decision.  The only time the rules change is when she's had a major boo-boo/or disaster in her life.  LOL

  
  

  Have some kid pictures.  These are impromptu ones not like the flag one I worked on for over an hour yesterday. LOL

  
  

  The first is Zeria on the swing at the park.  Typical kid style. 

  
  

  

  
  

  She's learning to pump....and its fairly priceless to watch, and she's oooooo so proud of herself.

  
  

  We went to the park Sunday after daddy got home from work.  And there was a little girl who was NOT nice to Zeria.   I tried not to interfere until the little girl started throwing rocks--then the tiger momma came out in me.  LOL  It was so cute though when they were exchanging words.  Zeria says "Well, I don't care if you don't like me "A" my cousin loves me.  (BIG GRIN)

  
  

  Samuel got a new coat (finally)  His last years winter coat was too small and died when we were on vacation this summer.  So I've been looking ever since.  Here he is sporting it.  He's smarter then his sister btw.  His sister refused to wear her coat--even though her teeth were chattering.  See none of the other little girls at the park were wearing big coats. SIGH Gotta love peer pressure.

  
  

              

  
  

  Oh psssssssst notice Samuels new hair style.  He's sporting NO hair on his head compliments of Zeria's hair cut 2 weeks ago.  It was the only way to redeem it.  Everybody says I should leave it that way--cause they think its soooooooo cute.  I'm partial to hair myself.  Contemplating a compromise.  like just enough hair so you can see hair.  We'll see.

  
  

  Then theirs Kaylin my big girl.  She's so proud of herself because she's discovered slides.  Up she climbs & down she goes.  She's too LITTLE for this. (sniff sniff)  We of course climb up behind her.  But she slides herself into somebody's arms. 

  
  

             

  
  

  I love impromptu visits to the park. 

  
  

  Well, the building project continues on.  And last night just before we went on our date night.  Rob had a oops & accidentally hit a water pipe with the chainsaw.  So we were without water overnight.  Its fixed now, and life moves on.  The theory is is today our minor miracle is gonna happen and my brother's gonna come and work.  Oh I do hope so.  Rob's always so encouraged when he comes.

  
  

  Joel (my brother) is a go getter.  And so much more gets accomplished.  Besides its boring to work by yourself day after day after day. 

  
  

  We officially look like poor white trash right now.  Sigh.  My washer & dryer are sitting outside.  All the construction trash, and all the kids toys.  Wanta know what poor white trash looks like??  Oh and don't forget the dog   Gotta have a dog to be poor white trash.  *sigh*   LOL

  
  

  

  
  

  So because my washer & dryer are living outside.  I am now going to the laundromat.  Which in someways is easier.  I did 12 loads of laundry in 2 hours.  (not folded of course)  Yes, I said 12.  I was waaaaaaaay behind do to the events of last week, and spraining my ankle on my regularly scheduled laundry day.

  
  

  So the kids & I spent a couple hours at the laundromat which actually went a LOT better then anticipated. (YEAH)

  
  

  And today I will fold the remaining 8.  YUCK!

  
  

  Father God, as we do this day.  I pray that we will honor you in it.  I ask that you will give us wisdom as we jack up the house and safety for the men & my house.  And that it would go extremely smoothly.  I ask for the kids that they would be cheerful, and not fight.  And I ask for our country, that they would rally, and not abandon hope.  Because we NEED hope.  Father for me, I ask for the energy to do what's needed, and the wisdom to sit & take care of my body when I need to.  Thank you, In your son's name.  Amen.
