Oatmeal





This is why I don't like oatmeal! It ALWAYS explodes on me! Maybe I should go back to the pre-packaged stuff for the kids! I've been giving oatmeal to Thad and mixing in some cooked apples. And well... I didn't put it in the microwave for as long as it called for. I opened the microwave and was UGH!!!! Curt said, what happened? I said well, the oatmeal exploded on me AGAIN!!!!!!! Not as bad as when I tried to make Steel Cut Oats in there, but still!!! (let me tell you, holy cow, that stuff literally went EVERYWHERE!!!! There was soo much water in the microwave... Steel cut oats, yeah...)
You are probably saying why doesn't she just stand there for the less than 3 minutes to watch it? Well, funny you should think that, all I'm gonna say is, 4 kids! And I will leave it at that! I am sure you can imagine what can happen with 4 kids in under 3 minutes! :)
So I am thinking that is why I don't like that slimy gooey stuff! :)
But the kids and Curt do, so I'll keep trying to make it for them! I do the steel cut oats in the crock pot over nite, guess I better do that tonite for Thad!

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m
