What a Day!!!

What a day! I woke up with a head-ache, yippeee! ;o The kids were playing so nice, all 3 of them, so I decided to crash on the couch after they were fed and dressed. I got up and played with them and read them some books, got my shower, then it was time for lunch. Got them to bed, did my devo's, then blogged, and low and behold, they all woke up! NICE!! Not really, because that meant they had only about one and half hours worth of sleep! For my kids, that is NOT enough! For Kotah, that is ok, but not the other 2!! We then put some of the laundry away that did get done and folded, then I decided since it was so nice out to go find the Pumpkin Patch at Howell Greenhouse. I saw they closed at 5:00, thinking, no biggie, we can at least go out and check it out! We got there at 4:00 and left at 5:50, got home at 6:10. They were still taking people out to the patch when we got back from the patch at 5:45, wow!!! Will have to go back and play next time! The kids LOVED it!!! They loved being able to go and pick their own pumpkins! They picked some nice small ones. ;o) Then we were getting on the tractor again and Dakotah saw some gourds, she said what are these? So I said gourds. She said oh, can we get one? I noticed on a sign on a wagon that they were like 65 cents, so I was like if you can carry it, because I can't with Sklyar and her pumpkin! She said YEP, I CAN!! So she carried her pumpkin, her gourd and Skylar's gourd, because Skylar had to have one too! Gavin was carrying his pumpkin and gourd, because he couldn't be left out too! If I had my camera, I would have taken some pics, but I left it in the car! :( Will have to go back so I can get some pic's!!! :O) When we got home, I fixed them some yummy pb and j's sandwiches with applesauce. Then we went downstairs to watch Meet the Robinsons. From what I saw (which wasn't a whole lot) it looked pretty decent. The kids like it. i did see the part that had a dinosaur in it and that is alll Gavin talked about! I think it was in there for about 5 minutes, but that is all he remembered about the movie! ;o)
I now need to go and finish the laundry that I didn't get done and get the dishwasher started! (Man, what would I do if I didn't have a dishwasher?? Don't even want to think about it!!!!)

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
