Wednesday's Why
(+1 day)
It is just wrong.
There are 6 pancakes on my table with big holes in them.
Holes where the chocolate chips USED to be.
This is just plain wrong.
Right? :)

Seeing is believing
My kid #3, boy, age 7, says to me yesterday:
"Mom! I just looked at myself!"
"Oh Yeah?" I mustered, a bit confused.
"I mean," he goes on to say, "it's been a really long time since I looked in the mirror. And I did, and wow do I look goooooooood!"
HAAA HAAA
Laughter is such good medicine!!!!!!

Chasing a 2 yr old
I haven't posted lately...sorry about that!
I have been busy running after a certain little 2 year old that is super cute *(Thank God!!!!)
but ....
OH MY GOODNESS!!!
He still has not taken a liking to his baby sister and likes to clobber her as well as pull each joint and squish her face. There is a house rule that we cannot put Little Lady down unless he is not around or if Momma is right there. If holding her, then get ready to be a body guard. My big kids are getting pretty good at this. Not that I am proud of the fact that they are good body guards! haaaa
Little Lady is 3 1/2 months now and I thought by now that things would have changed and actually realizes that she really is staying. Nope, not yet! Errrrr... A priest I know says that he is the one that will probably be a priest!!! If this is what I have to endure for his vocation, so be it, I suppose....but I am not having fun.
I mean, what is the point of a fenced in yard when he climbs over the fence??? I have it locked up w/a key but it does not matter.
He is an early riser--unlike myself. He even enjoys singing at this early time but his singing is more like screaming. Ay ay ay.....He asks and then tells me very loudly that he wants oatmeal or cheerios or whatever. He is ready to go go go very early around here. Let me get my coffee first, lil buddy...I have resorted to him watching a little show in these hours, super idea ...or so I thought. He is not old enough to really get the idea of sitting still and quiet. haa haaa!!!
I swear I need a babysitter JUST FOR HIM ALONE. No joke, it is sooooo true. One eye off of him for just 5 seconds can bring surprises you'd never dream of!!! He is something else, this 2 yr old...
On a positive note, did I mention he is really really REALLY cute? Yes, I know a mothers love goes beyond boundaries and she sees her children as the cutest, but seriously, this little guy is a head turner! :)
Did I also mention that he loves loves loves books? I am so glad he actually knows how to stay put for a minimal amount of time! He loves when I bring a huge bag full of library books home. At that point, at least I know I have a few minutes that I know exactly where he is :)
He is also good with his words and is easy to have a conversation with. It is worth the time to spend talking with someone when they are 2 years old!!! Oh, the stories he has and the words he uses and the faces he makes while he is trying to think of a word-so unbelievably cute!!! :)
One last thing to make sure you know how cute this stinker is...not that he is an all out crazy 2 yr old. (then again, maybe this list is more for me! haa haa LOL!!!)
He loves his biggest brother! He loves to ride on his shoulders. He loves it when big brother reads to him and plays trucks and blocks with him. I am so glad b/c that big brother sure is someone to be following-he is awesome too!
Anyway, I have not forgotten about my blog...it's just that I have running ragged around here chasing after my little priest.
Please say a prayer for me, if you will. A Prayer for greater sacrificial love for this child in particular, and for new ways of how to meet his needs. Thank you kindly!!!

Moments are Gifts
Moments are fleeting...these I don't want to forget...
Now, not to give the impression that my day and my life is all peachy, here is a little secret~ my 2 boys-double trouble boys~ were sent to nap time without lunch. Yes, you heard me right. Yes, I am a mean momma.
God bless,
M
- 4 yr old son to me "Momma! My foot just lives in here!" (referring to how snug his foot is in his sandal!-haaa haaa)
- 7 yr old son to me "Little Lady just spit up all over me! (giggle giggle) I was burping her and whoa~she spit up ALL OVER me....so I changed my pants." That sure is true hard-core love, huh? Spit up, smile and giggle and go back to holding her. Man, my kids just love our Little Lady!!!
