Hodge Podge

Why oh why has blogging become so sparce for me lately??

Going through the pictures of the last couple weeks, I decided to do a hodge podge blog post.

The girls and I attended Once Upon a Mattress at Churchill High School to see Emily and Heather perform. They did SUCH a good job! We got there, I turned on my camera only to find no memory card. A sweet young man sitting in front of me heard me and ran out to his car to let me borrow his! Bless his heart. I had never met him before... Thanks Nathan!

Emily The Queen!
Christian has been giving me quite the run for my money lately. Here's what he's been up to.

• Tormenting his baby sister. He has this thing where he has to bump her, push her, step on her, steam roll her any chance he gets. But on the other hand, he loves her, he tells us how cute she is, he prays for her. I guess it's what a 3 year old does and I just need to have patience and look forward to his 4th birthday!


• Being a Dennis the Menace. A week ago we were at the church setting up for a function and had our little ones running around and realized we hadn't seen Christian and his little buddy, Henry (also 3 years old), for a few minutes. Long story short - we find them in the women's bathroom - Christian is drenched head to toe with water overflowing from the sink because he has filled it with toilet paper. He had toilet paper wads on the walls and splashes of water even on the ceiling! Not to mention all over the floor... Needless to say, I did more cleaning & mopping that day than setting up for our function.


• Dashing. The little stinker thinks it's okay to dash and run from us. Last Friday we were at Morgan's school for her Science Fair when neither Martin or myself could find him. Turns out he was halfway down the block (through a field) on his way to a neighborhood church's playground. No wonder I'm turning gray.


• Being my wonderful son. Overall, he's a good good boy and I couldn't love him more. He's just a typical boy and is testing the waters. I tell him he's my best boy and he responds, "You my best guuhl."
  

When Carly and I were little we would consider seeing the clock at 11:11 as good luck and we'd have to make a wish. So when Martin turned on a basketball game the other night and I saw this, I HAD to take a picture!! Talk about good luck!! The score was 11-11 with 11 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game with 11 seconds on the shot clock! So cool.

Delaney is crawling, has four teeth, waving, pointing, giving kisses and even standing alongside the furniture. She is a month away from turning ONE and it's killing me. I just had her. She loves loves loves her big brother and has more patience with his antics than I do.

Too cute to not add to this post:

Delaney had one of those diapers that needed an immediate bath, but dinner was ready, so I stuck her in the kitchen sink for a quick wash. Well little Mister decided HE liked that idea, so we squished his big 45 pound 3 year old body in the kitchen sink, too! Crazy monkey.

Last Friday night, Delaney got some special time with Grandma Sally, Auntie Carly and Gigi. Lucky girl.
