Sometimes after reading the kids their bedtime Bible story we start to wonder, are they listening? Are they getting the point of the stories? Every once and a while they offer up another reminder that they really are. Tonight after reading our children the story of Daniel and the Lions Den, my husband tried a little follow up to see if our 5 year old son was connecting… Scott: “What if President Obama made a law that said that everyone had to bow down and pray to him?

For a good time at the circus   simply wear your underwear on your head!! My son pleaded to his Daddy the other night, “Please, Please, Please wear underwear on your head…It can be clean!” 

Much like I do almost every day, I loaded my sweet baby girl into her car seat. I buckled her in and then handed her a purple sippy cup. After strapping her sister in her seat and after double checking her brother, I went to my spot in the front. About 20 minutes later I looked back and saw my sweet baby girl holding two purple sippy cups. “Where did that other cup come from?

I write to you today with a happy heart. 3 days ago my bloggy world and my real life world collided at lunch in Pittsburgh. As I drove to my meeting place, I was a bit nervous. “What if we run out of things to say? Will she like me when she meets me in person?” It felt quite similar to those first date jitters. (No I wasn’t worried about whether or not she’d kiss me when she dropped me off at the end).

I am not an athlete. Those of you blog readers who knew me in high school can vouch for me on this. My position on the HS sport team was bench warmer, my role, “team encourager.” When my recent blog friend turned IRL friend accompanied me this weekend to pick up my runners pack for the Pittsburgh Half Marathon and called me athletic, I almost laughed in her face. Me athletic?

The other night at dinner my daughter was not so excited about eating her peas. So, her little sister decided to step in and help her! Sisters make everything better… even eating your greens! Sometimes you just need a little encouragement!

When my little man sets his heart on something, you better watch out. Because he will hold on tight with his 5 year old death grip on life! His preschool had an art festival last week. It was the single best fundraising event I have ever attended. Parents paid a $10 admission per child and the kids got to engage in numerous, fun, messy, outside art projects. It was a glorious way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Been sorting through the kids clothes, bagging up the stuff too small, cleaning out stuff in the nursery…. I am so sad. It is so weird to think we might be done having babies…. so strange…. so sad…. I feel on the brink of tears. I have been trying all week to mentally prepare that we might be done, to figure out how to clean out the stuff and move on, but it is a lot harder than I thought.
