When I got the Memory Game out yesterday, Kate grabbed the paper inside and said, "Wait a minute, Mama. Let me read the 'corrections'. OK, Mama? Let me read the 'corrections'."

Church pictures... befores...




Posted by Picasa
We went car hunting again this weekend but still have Bullet. We found one we liked, but the salesman wouldn't come off the price enough. So, we still look! I liked it, but it was fine to leave it there. It was good not to be disappointed.

On a funny note: *attention*

All you mothers of little boys: click here for a hilarious story about little boys from my cousin, Ashley. You won't be diappointed.

Nothing much

I think I have fallen into the rut that everyone else has. No pictures. No really updates.

We have been running our fireplace constantly in the last week. It is drying out my sinuses. As much as I love it, I asked Scott to give it a break - so that my head will get a break. It is still so chilly in this house - I'm thinking of getting an estimate for getting more insulation put into the attic.

I didn't feel all that great yesterday at work. My head is stopped up, again. My body just didn't feel that great. And, wouldn't you know, there was a pitiful little dog that had 2 broken legs - both on the front. Crazy, I know. It broke the first one 2 weeks ago when it jumped out of the owner's arms. Then, it broke the other one falling off the bed. I tried for almost 2 hours to fix it, but I just couldn't. She weighs 6 pounds, and I just didn't have anything that small to work. Very frustrating. Anyways, I didn't get home from work last night until almost 8pm.

But, I feel better today. I plan on getting the kids outside today and detail my car. I just love my car... :) My Bullet, that is!

Prayers needed...

Please add this blog to your list and especially your prayers. Kelly and her husband just had a new baby who is having incredible difficulties breathing and her heart. I felt so covered with prayer when I was in the hospital with Kate, and this couple covets yours!

Thank you, God, for our healthy children.

Bullet is still our main squeeze...

Mom and Dad took our kids up to Nashville to my niece's birthday party this weekend. We wisely thought we would use our time to go car shopping!

After getting up at 6am, we drove up to Atlanta to see some cars that we had found online. I have to say that I was disappointed with them. Maybe the car pictures are just much more impressive than the cars themselves? Anyway, we spent the entire day there, and came home with our Rudy (the truck). :(

But, we learned a lot yesterday! First, we drove other types of cars that we hadn't considered. And, we liked them! Second, we learned about certified used cars, and how much safer and protected we will be as a buyer if we purchased one. Thirdly, we have changed our minds completely on what we are in the market for... (top secret until later... *cheezy grin*).

We have spotted a few in B'ham that we are interested in - thankfully B'ham and not Atlanta! But, we are back to the norm next week. We'll see how it goes bringing kiddos with us!

Kid funnies

  • Kate and I were working on reading last night. She loves to sound out the letters, but is having a little trouble putting them together. We were saying "H A T" and sounded out the letters several times, and I asked her to put the sounds together - what was the word? And she replied, "Squirrel!"

  • Brooks was wanting me to pick him up so he could see inside the washing machine. I asked him, "What do you say?" and he replied, "Yes Ma'am" and I said try again, to which he replied, "Thank you welcome!" and when asked once more, he said, "YES MA'AM!". Never found "please".
