Wild Boys

My boys are wild today. I should have known better than to take them with me to my doctor's appointment, but I didn't really have another choice. Usually they are well behaved when we have doctor appointments. But not today. They forget every rule we have. For example....no wrestling, no climbing, speak quietly, no whining, no touching things, etc. I was not impressed. I was also embarrassed. This was a new doctor that I saw today. I am sure she thought we were crazy! Oh well. This is my life. I love my boys and even  their wildness! There were consequences when we got home. Hopefully they will remember for the next time we go out.

March & April Update....

What have we been up to the past two months? I can barely remember myself. I do know that the time seemed to fly by. In March Emma got to spend a week in California and Las Vegas with Grandpa & Grandma. She had a blast. It was her first time flying and she got her wings! The weather has been great, so the kids have spent much time outside playing, building, and getting into trouble! We remodeled our bathroom. One of the kids tore the soap bar off of the wall in the shower and we found yucky stuff behind the tile. So we decided just to rip out all the old tile and start fresh. Phil did all the tiling. He did a great job. It looks great. There are a few things we need to do to finish. We are going to refinish the counter top and paint the vanity. We had a fabulous Easter, celebrating our Risen Lord with friends and family. We are gearing up for a fun summer....we have t-ball, baseball, Bible camp, swimming lessons, and lots of other fun stuff planned. Hopefully I will do a better job keeping my blog updated!

Sick baby girl

Hadassah has RSV. Her oxygen levels are low and she has lots of junk in her lungs. We are going to spend a few days in the hospital. We got to take an ambulance right here.

Come to Me - Bethel Music

'I am your anchor, in the wind and the waves
And I am your steadfast, so don’t be afraid
Though your heart and flesh may fail you
I’m your faithful strength
And I am with you
Wherever you go'

Thank you Jesus.

Sign me up for.....

Today is the first day of February. Noah has been waiting for February so that I can sign him up for a home school building class. He took the class before Christmas and has been asking me almost daily if he can take the next class which starts in February. When he found out it was Feb. 1 today he immediately asked if I had signed him up, which in turned started a "sign me up for...." explosion from the rest of the kids. From art to archery to potty class. Yes I did say potty class. That was Benaiah's choice. He said,"Sign me up for Potty Class." Grandma asked him what he was going to do there and he said, "Learn how to go poop on the potty." Which he really needs to learn, I am sick of cleaning underwear everyday :( So if any of you out there are offering a "potty class" let me know!

What a 3 year old does while the rest of us are working on school (with a little help from his 5 year old brother)..........

 

I would like to tell you that he sits quietly playing with his toys while we are having school, but as you can see that is not the case.

Yogurt Licks

I ran to Target today to pick up a couple birthday presents with the kids. Shopping with 5 kids is exciting. I prefer to go alone, but that rarely happens. Yogurt was also on the list. Yogurt is one of Benaiah's favorite food. He insisted on carrying it. It was one of the big tubs of Yoplait Strawberry flavor. When we got to the checkout, he tried to put it up on the conveyor belt, but missed. It dropped to the floor, broke and yogurt went everywhere. He immediately dropped down to the ground and loudly said, "I will lick it up!" He began to take big licks of it off the floor before I could grab him. Yuck!! We got some great looks from the people around us. Oh the joys of childhood!
