My child's prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,


Thank you for me.


Thank you for mom.

Thank you for Dad.


Thank you for Andy.



Please, please, please protect us from bad guys.
Please, please, please protect us from monsters.

Please make it so their eyes can't see me.
Please take their eyes out.
And their feet.

So they can't come to my house.



Amen.


My Prayer
Please let me child sleep through the night.
Please. Please. Please.


As you can tell, we are having taxing time with sleep around here. I have not idea where Nate's fear is derived from. He has never even seen Monsters Inc. let alone anything truly scary. I don't even watch the local news when he is awake. But every night around midnight he wakes up screaming.

Help.

Please.Please. Please.


and yes, I did laugh out loud when he asked for their eyes to be taken out.

Design Dilemma

I removed a shelf on that open part of the bookshelf to break up the monotony and add a point of interest.... but I don't know what my point of interest should be. Should I put a picture there? A mirror? Vases, bowls, things of that sort? Another angled shelf like the one with Audubon's Birds of America on it? Or just put the shelf back in the middle?

Mondays

9:48 a.m. CLEAN(at last)!

11:23 a.m. Dirty (again)!

...and so it goes...

p.s. yes, I do realize that the only thing I blog about it my lack of blogging or how amazing my life is. Lame. I'm moving on.

H.A.P.P.Y.

Just so you know, I do feel guilty about not blogging. I do think about it often. I should really blog today. I should upload my photos some day. Well, dear friends, that day is today. My kids are currently in their rooms bouncing on their beds while they should be napping. But I will get my blogging done. So, to catch you up to speed in the life and times of Russell, party of 4....

We celebrated birthdays

by eating cake,
naturally.

Oh, and 500 ball pit balls (great idea by Chris- Andy loved it!)

He learned to peddle.
Fast.

He learned to walk.
I miss the bear crawl already.


He passed the bar exam.
And wrote chapter one of his novel.



I reupholstered a chair (all by myself!) this week
Next project: paint my kitchen chairs.

We are so happy.

I am not sure if it's the fact that we are done with school,

putting down roots
and planning to be somewhere long term,that I am done nursing,


or that we just got these amazing bookshelves.



No matter the reason, we feel truly blessed.

My Fave

Mom, Dad, anyone else who still reads this blog. Sorry to lead you on and get your hopes up that I had become an amazing blogger. I just can't commit to that. Hopefully, tonight or one day soon I will upload pictures off of my camera and blog a few. In the mean time. I found this amazing website. Hayley C. and Mom- you will love this if you haven't already come across this!
