• I can tell today is Monday.  Just before we go on date night we are both absolutely ready to wring our kids necks.    And man am I ready

  
  

  Its like they loose all ability to obey or be reasonable about 3:30 Monday.  hehehe.  Or maybe we're just desperate for a break from them. 

  
  

  Nope was just interputed its gotta be a Monday thing.  Samuel and Zeria were sent upstairs to play and NOT disturb us for 15 minutes.  This is not an unreasonable demand for them.  They went upstairs and immediately started swinging off their curtains :-O  And of course the curtains weren't made for this so they fell down.  And they got hurt.  So the kids come downstairs crying and mommy says how'd you get hurt?  The curtain fell down say the culprits.  Oh really were you swinging on it again---"oh no".  Yeah right the curtain just magically fell down all on its own.  whatever. 

  
  

  Okay got that out of my system.    Yesterday was a relaxing and fun day.    And at the end of the day I realized how clearly God answered my prayer request for having joy in my children.  They entertained me all day.   Soooooooooooo if you don't want to here the braggings of "my kid said this"  move on and don't ready any further

  
  

  As we were getting ready to get out the door to church Samuel asked "What are machines."  Good timing Samuel.  God gave me the wisdom to say...can we put that question on hold?  So he waited until we were driving down the road.  And we had a nice discussion about machines. 

  
  

  So then Zeria wanted to talk about the quarter she found (fell out of one of our pockets )  She was all enthusiastic about it.  And we talked about the value of nickels vs quarters.  LOL  And then in all seriousness my almost 5 year old says....Mommy you've got more cash then me huh?  You've got LOTS of cash huh mommy.   HEHEHEHE

  
  

  So Samuel has another question...Mommy what are those things?   What things?  Those things mommy?  Samuel you need to be more specific then that what things.   You know those things...those things that float under water.  You mean submarines?  I ask.  No mommy those things.....those egg shaped things that have men in them and shoot things.  HMMMMMMMM  mommy is frantically trying to guess from this description what the heck my son is talking about.    the shoot things gave me the right clue.  The only movie my kids have watched with shooting in it was.....Atlantis and that was NOT because I allowed them to watch it (long story involving a babysitter )  You mean the machines in Atlantis?  Yeah those things.  PHEW  mommy found out what he was talking about.  I think I get a prize for detecting that piece of information    (All chocolate prizes welcome)

  
  

  So then I just started chuckling because my munchkins were so silly...and of course they wanted to know Why are you laughing, "I'll tell you in 5 years are so.  LOL  And so I journal it so I CAN tell them

  
  

  And then at the picnic.  My niece whom I've held/known she was 5 days old needed help at the picnic table.  I was closest so I took her cup and filled it.  Miss Zeria in all her wisdom says...Don't worry "E"  my mommy can help you she's not a stranger. 

  
  

  The trim is up on the doors in our bedroom   Rob did that today.  All thats left in the bedroom is the wiring (to be done in July when the 'ils are here)  And the trim on the corners (maybe never done ). 

  
  

  Its even decorated in there, and I've had a ton of fun doing it.  So as soon as I get batterys in my camera I'll take pictures. 

  
  

  Father God, we need you tonight.  We need you to allow us to enjoy each other, and be renewed so we can face another week of raising our kids.  Please give us strength for that in your sons name Amen
