PROVERBS 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths STRAIGHT.

We have watched you go through things that no one person should ever have to go through, let alone a child...but you handled things wonderfully and all those trial and tribulations make you who you are today and that my dear boy is someone I would not trade for the world! We all love you very very much!

I should be....

I should be cleaning.....but I'm not.

I should be cooking....but I'm not.

I should be washing clothes.....but I'm not.

I should be doing a lot.....but I'm not.


Instead....


I am listening to the fights and playing referee....oh joy.....I have taken back control of my living room, but I lost control of this..........






That is Nathan's room, the closet is his way of cleaning his room. he has shoved everything in there and because it is too hot to play out side, Amelia and Nate decided they needed a club house inside. I refused to give up control of the living room!




When it was time for lunch I again questioned my sanity...or rather their sanity.....my kids beg me to buy them corn dogs. I have no idea why this is what ends up happening.








Now I offered them hotdogs, but they said no they wanted corndogs.....and they only end up eating the "hotdog" on a stick...I have yet to figure that one out. Why must it be corndogs????

Go figure I will not drive myself crazy figuring them out I have way too much else I could be doing or rather SHOULD be doing...... BUT I'M NOT!!!!

These two

The cable has been out for 2 days now (for no reason at all, no rain, no wind, no explanation) so we are trying to find ways to entertain ourselves.



(that's a DVD playing in the back ground) And by the way I am not cleaning till Aug 7th! I have tried and it just keeps looking the same.



These two have taken over the livingroom...these two are like twins, these two are like an old married couple, these two keep us in stiches all day long, who needs cable when we have these two for entertainment!!


for fun we play his ribs!! This child is skin a bones, but he never stops he is like the energizer Bunny!


Lets see how many kids we can pile on daddy....




One of my favorite photos ever!


Well in the time it took me to do this post, guess what, they fixed the cable finally....I'm off to get lost in a movie or two!!!

Hope everyone is having/had a great day! We had a very lazy day...Its so hot the kids are still stuck inside and then of course we keep getting these afternoon showers. Which aren't bad as they help cool the house off. I have been doing laundry..Yay I think I am just about caught up on it, well as caught us as one can get on the laundry it IS a never ending cycle!
The kids are running rampid in the living room, I have given up on trying to keep it clean...I will wait till school starts then I will be able to keep it straight! Just 33 more days till the first day of school!! I'm doing the happy dance on the inside, can ya hear it? I am looking forward to routine! I miss a schedule. Well sorry to be so boring, but just wanted to give you all a quick up date and say Happy 4th !!!
