Catch Up

I posted these pics on facebook, so if you have already seen it, oh well! :O)




Aww, sweet sleeping baby!!!
Don't bother wrapping him up tight, he figures out how to get out!!! ;o)


Curt is in Mexico until Wednesday. Got a call from him late tonite, he's there and already sunburned! I did ask him if he wanted the kids suntan lotion, he said no, so it's his fault! :O) I can't wait to hear about his time there!!! He said that there are about 148 million kids who need to be adopted (Not JUST in Mexico...) and only 8 million kids who have been adopted! So sad!!!! I told him I need to wait until Thaddeus gets a little older before we adopt!!!!! (Unless God tells me otherwise...) Still so heavy on my heart to adopt!

Went and got paint for the kitchen and the kids rooms today! I had to return something for Curt that I forgot to take with me when I was there 2 days ago. The kids asked me 2 days ago when we were there if they could get their paint, I told them the next time we go in there I would get it. I said it because I didn't think I was going back in 2 days! ;o) So when we got there, walked in the door, they asked, so I said ok, but didn't know WHEN I would get it all painted! They were ok with that, they are happy to just HAVE it!! LOL ;o) I can NOT wait to do the kitchen, it is going to look AWESOME!!! Curious about the color and what am gonna do? Well, gotta wait til I get it done and take the pics! I am sure you know it won't be WHITE!!!!!! This house s WAAAAAY too white and tan!!!! ;o)

I need to get to bed, sooo tired! Will my energy EVER come back??? I feel as if I should be back to normal! I can fit into my jeans again, (WHOO HOO!!!! I still need to lose some weight, I am not back to where I was, but I CAN get into the old jeans!!! ;oP) so I feel as if I should be able to do everything! But I can't... Trying to get things in order and some things put away while Curt is gone!

Things are coming up in the garden, the kids were sooo excited to see the little green plants!

Enjoy the pic's and will post pics of the house when I get everything where I want it, or when it's painted! :O) Also picked out color for living room, but want to get the kitchen and kids rooms done first!! ;o)

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...
