Life stuff....

~Tee Ball is about to wrap up. Just long enough to start getting tired of going twice a week. Girls had tee ball pictures which set me back a few bucks. Can't wait to get them tonight! Working on a project for the coach as a thank you gift. Scrappy of course.

~Maddie is going to start swim team....maybe. Swimming around these parts is different than home. There are not public pools all over town that you pay a couple of bucks to swim. Pools around here are members only pools where you own a membership. Let me break it down they way I understand it. $300 membership, almost $400 in dues each year and you have to pay to be on swim team $45 for the month of June only AND you have to buy a $42 swim team suit and a $25 practice swim suit. Since we have a pool we don't need to be a member of one, I did find the USA swim team in town that is just about $50 a month and they swim all year.

~Nathan wants to do karate? Just add it to the ever growing things we are doing.

~Alex got a new bible in church yesterday. It is amazing how things happen sometimes. Our kids have kid bibles but she is starting to read more and just yesterday on the way to church I said "we need to get you (Alex) a bible." Well, in Sunday school yesterday they gave her one because she said she didn't have one. I emailed her teacher and asked her who it was Alex should thank because the girl carried around her new bible all day yesterday. Her teacher said it was the other teachers idea. We need to make her a card.

The Lord knew and provide for Alexandra her desire of her heart is what her teacher said in an email. I love this woman! She is so zealous in her views of our God it is infectious. She is a mother of five grown boys ages 24 to 16 and she home schooled! Love her (did I already say that) I am so glad she has been placed in our lives! We just got an email card from the teacher that gave her the bible as I type this. I love the people at this church.

~Mark started a blog. Been There Built That. Check it out the link is in my list. He doesn't read mine but I am plugging his? Nathan's dresser.

~Mark and I are working on our bedroom this week and next. Our new furniture should be here soon so we need to get the painting done and I talked Mark into so closet upgrades. I wanted bifold doors on our closet which I think Mark was cursing this fact as he was tearing out working doors, sliders ~ uggg. He will be thankful when the bifold doors are done with a middle shelf up the center. I will do before and after pictures when it is all done.

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school.  I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family.  I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep.   Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken.  I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB!  Okay this is my only job on earth.  I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep.   I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30".  He was awake and heard her too.  We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep.  Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan.  He wanted to sneak out our

Mohawk!

    Um, where to start?   I went away for the weekend with girlfriends to get some R & R and scrapbook.  Little did I know I was going to come home to a Mohawk.  GO RAYS!  I think Nathan is loving the attention that comes with such a dramatic do.   I really can't believe Mark did such a crazy thing.  I don't think anyone that saw Nathan at church could believe it either. For all you wondering, I love it and I will go away on another girls weekend.  It's not like he gave all the kids a mohawk.  The girls still have their lovely locks.

Time

Yes, my topic again is about time.  This one is not about the waste of time, but the passing of time.  As in how long it has been over a period of many days, years, etc.   Saturday night I went scrapbooking at a friends house.  Something we have done for about two years!  WHAT?  Two years, at least once a month.  Where did that time go?  I feel like it was just yesterday that Meagen and I where going to Anita's.  At the time if you would have told me my scrap buddy was moving in the matter of months to Fuquay-Varina I would have said two things,  "Where in the world it that?" and then I would have said "yeah, right!". She probably would have said the same things at the time.  I now see it all as a God wink.  Most of you have been to a Women of Faith conference and have heard the term God wink.  I appreciate all the God winks in my life.  See, at the time I didn't know Anita except from an occasional candle party or birthday party.  We were aquanitices at the
