Heritage Carousel

I decided to get out this morning and take the kids over to the Carousel. I got an e-mail saying that it was buy one get one free there today! Can't beat that huh? ;o) I mean, it is only 50 cents per kid to ride..... So it's not like it was a fortune! :O)
I packed some pb and j and pretzels and some water in a bag and we left. We ate, then took our rides. Kotah started freaking out (you will see in the 1st pic!)!!! She was worried it was going to go too fast! I said it will not go fast. I guess she didn't remember it from last year. Gavin was all smiles and ready to go! Skylar was not to sure what to think! She was happy, yet worried because I was standing next to her, so she had no idea what was going on! Try to explain a carousel to a 20 month old! :O)
It was a bad morning... I knew that they needed to get out! I needed to get out and get some fresh air! Didn't want them in our yard, a little wet and muddy. Although Gavin did get muddy at the park. I was walking back to the van to put our bag of water and trash in the van and Gavin and Kotah we walking in the grass going to the sidewalk to get in line. Gavin ran through the mud!!!! AHH!!!!!!!!! Of course, the one time I don't have any wipes, nothing! So I took them back to the van and got out the water bottle and tissue and cleaned up his leg and flip flop as best as I could! He got it over his back, but not his shorts! Still trying to figure out how that happened! :O)
There was also a lady from Des Moines Register there. She came over and asked me what the "little one's name". I said which one? ;oP She pointed to Skylar, so I gave her the name and her age. She said she got a couple of pic's of her. So... will see if she's in the paper! (of all days to go out with out makeup and looking SOOOO very tired!! OH WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :OP)

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...
