Hanging upside down, in a cradle thinking about God

All the random stuff crammed together.

June 4, 2007 4:06:59 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
This is just a bunch of random stuff that makes me happy to be a mom....

Connor was playing a friend's house last week. He decided to teach his friend to to trapeze tricks....in the bedroom closet, on the clothes rod. They were frustrated by the shelf that "made us not go upside down" but still had a blast doing tricks. *big grin* I love my kid!

Maddy said prayer before breakfast this morning. Her personality is definetely making an appearance in her prayer style. "Dear Heav'nly Father, Thank thee for my food....*pause*.....Thank thee for Connor's food...... A few days ago she prayed for her puppy, her baby doll, her bed, the flowers on her dress and not bedtime.

Connor has started swimming lessons. He has progressed from fear of getting water in his eyes and nose, to jumping off the diving board, sans lifejacket. (A lifeguard was there to catch him) He is really excited that he can go underwater now.



He even held his breath underwater for 10 seconds! I am so impressed with this little guy.

My father made a cradle for me when Connor was born. Both of my kids used it until they could sit up. It's an old fashioned hanging cradle that rocks. I loaned it to a friend a few months ago and she just returned it. Maddy loved the idea of a "crib", she progressed from putting her babies to sleep in it, to insisting she be allowed to sleep in it! She still fits, so I relented and the cradle is in her room, and she has abandoned her newly purchased bed in favor of the cradle.


And here is a picture of them after church yesterday....cute as can be.

I'm glad my kids are so good. They have been troopers lately. My purse is missing so I had to cancel my credit cards and get all my ids replaced. They are so good about sitting and waiting. It took 2 hours to get a new military id and about 40 minutes to get my replacement drivers license. sigh. Connor sat and read to me for a while and Maddy just did her best. After all, she is only 2.

And last random item....I learned something. If you are adjusting your lawn mower, be very very very careful to NOT touch the engine cover if it has not cooled off yet. Even a glancing brush with the metal will leave you with a painful, blistery burn....... sigh. Why do I learn this stuff the hard way? I already knew this, but it takes the school fo hard knocks to really get it into my head.....sigh.

Awesome pics as always! both of the kids look great...

sounds like you are doing awesome, mower incidents aside. I couldn't get mine running at all over the weekend, so I just used the weed eater on the whole yard! Good luck with the hand and the purse.

no way I'd post my kid's pics on the internet for the whole world and all who's in it to see.

(But then that's just me.)

I'm such a geek. I can never seem to get the weed eater to work right....sigh.

gosh, gee, wow. They are in so much danger because people can see them! Maybe I should make them wear a burka when I take them to the park too.

*I think this may be a future rant...*

What cutie pies they both are!

those kids are adorable!!

You're kids are so cute!

haha no worries there. While they are very adorable, I in NO way want to have any kids living with me. They're cute when they're not mine

Hi!
It has been a long time since I've been able to blog. I can't sit very long at my computer but now I am getting better. I loved your blog here and I will be back to read up on what I have missed in the long months I have been away. Your children are great looking and I am sure they are being raised so that their hearts will be gentle, kind and wise.

Thanks for saying you will buy my book. I did the final proofing yesterday, so it should be in print soon. I have a different publisher for this book. The last book was priced way too high. I found a better publisher and am so satisfied with them. I will put up a blog soon when it is available so that I won't get scolded for trolling or whatever the term might be.

Have a great day,
Grace (oleteach)

Let's not forget what Shovel does for a living, ladies. He's got good reason for feeling the way he does.


Actually, I confess that I don't know what he does....

you are welcome anytime, anywhere....
