• Good morning

  
  

  Its a gorgeous day today.  Blue sky, sunshine, and 8 inches of snow.  EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  
  

  My kids are greatly looking forward to grandma & the kids coming over and sledding so that will make them happy.  And it IS beautiful on the trees.  But my daffodills were 4 inches tall.....and I don't think this is gonna do them any good     sniff sniff

  
  

  My kids were very entertaining yesterday.  Especially the babies.  Yesterday morning Jamari was on the floor wandering around and Kaylin still in her high chair.  And they started growling at each other...and "booing" each other.  It got very very loud...and oh I was laughing soo hard.  I love watching them interact like that  

  
  

  Kaylin followed me into the bathroom (normal every-day stuff)  and we had a discussion about toilet paper, the tub, etc...she always points each of them out and I always say the names.  Someday she might say the words back.  I'm beginning to despair of her ever "really" talking.  She has words...but only when she wants.  Anyhow.  She hung around entertaining me   and when we were ready to leave she walked out just like mommy.  Stomache sticking out and waddling just as if SHE were pregnant.  Have you ever seen a pregnant almost 2 year old     Man I wish I could have video camera'd that. 

  
  

  My big kids helped me a LOT yesterday morning and we did a 27 boogie fling in the lean-to.  WOO-HOO.  And I even wiped down the dusty shelves in there.  This room is our laundry room/rec room/ catch all.   And it can get VERY scarey in there.  Looks quite clean in there right now.  Except for the 70 year old falling down wall paper.  hehehehe.  I'm gonna work for bits at a time taking that down...and then we'll decide if we're gonna sheet rock OVER it...or just paint it.  If its painting...I can do it here and there.  I LOVE to paint.  And in less then 2 weeks all my pregnancy restrictions are gonna be lifted  

  
  

  The reward for all the big kids helping was we emptied out the tv box of the styrofoam...and they got to play in it the rest of the day.  It was a MAJOR hit.  Even Jamari entertained himself with it.   

  
  

  My friend didn't come over yesterday as she refuses to drive in the snow...and it just kept a snowing.  *sigh*   I *think* its finally stopped.  But my mom & kids did come over...so that distracted my kids for a bit anyhow.  And Zeria *gasp* actually came inside from playing BEFORE she was so cold she was crying hysterically.  She got MAJOR praise for that   She has a hard time listening to her body...and always goes until it collapses. 

  
  

  Today the theory is Rob is gonna mortar our chimney and replace the clean-out grate that broke when the fire happened.  Our no-project zone went out the window...with all this insurance mess.  If the chimney actually get mortered it will mean the main part of the house is ALL finished except for linoleum in my kitchen.  WOO-HOO-HOO   

  
  

  Kaylin just had a first.  She got her pj's off all by herself without any help this morning   She's been working hard at it for over a month.   So oh no this means she's growing up. sniff sniff.  But its also a major help for us too. 

  
  

  Well, that's my meanderings for the day.  Samuels waiting to call Grandma and see if the kids can come up...so I probably should hit submit  and let him do so. 

  
  

  Father God, I pray that things would go smoothly today.  I ask that Rob would get his work done and not get himself too side tracked.   I ask for a extra dose of keeping my mouth shut when he wanders around instead of working.  And that this project for once would get done the first time around.  In your sons name, Amen
