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.

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

Break is over!

Wow! It took me some time to log onto Blogger. I always feel like it is a test when I have to remember a password on an account. I couldn't remember the email or password. That is when you know it has been awhile.  I started a new blog on wordpress. I have been writing but it is all about crafty DIY project and organization. Someone asked me a few weeks ago if I ever use Box of Chocolates and I was sad to say, "No".  So here I am with a renewed outlook on Box of Chocolates.  You never know what you are going to get, but here I am again so at least it will be something. For a year I have been wanting to do National Novel Writing Month. It is the month of November.  The process has already started for me. I have been reading books on writing and doing research on some of the ideas I have for my Novela. Novel sounds so much better to me in Spanish. I think I have written about things in different languages sometimes just sound better. I think it was a post on my ...

True Friends

I am on Facebook daily and love flair.  I had a local friend send me flair that said , " True friendship isn't being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."  I'm hoping that once I leave this area I have many friends that are true friends.  This post is an ode to such a friend.  One friend of mine moved away many years ago and I realized the other night that she is that just that friend.  It doesn't matter if time or many miles separates us she is a true friend.  I realized after a long conversation on the phone with that person (her mostly listening) that I have a gem of a friend and I am so grateful for her.  I just wanted to send out a shout to that person, you know who you are and let you know I think your the best!   Maybe one day God will let us live in the same city.   It is funny as you get um... well.... older you start to have friends all over the country.  I do have many friends all over the place and each of you are special to me.  ...
