Having technical difficulties.  Hope to get it fixed soon.  Hang in there with me!!

Helmet

Griffin's latest obsession is helmets.  He loves motorcycle helmets like his dad's.  As he has been in the garage lately with the nice MN weather `` (Griffin is playing with the keyboard as I type this - yikes) HE FOUND THE BICYCLE HELMETS AND DECIDED THAT WOULD WORK FOR HIM.  HE INSISTS ON wearing a helmet almost all of the time.  Here is today as we got home from daycare...

He is also such a big helper!!   He followed me into the bathroom and proceeded to get some toilet paper and wipe mommy!!  SO SO helpful!  I sure hope it helps him want to start using the potty for himself.

Oh, interruption, so my boys are currently playing with the vacuum cleaner and it started fall backwards...guess what?  It hit Griffin on the head...but guess what else?  It didn't hurt because he has his helmet on!!!  HMMM there is something to be said about always wearing a helmet.  :)

Well, I gotta run and make supper then we head out to see Penny and Pals at the local community center at 6:30 and bible study for me after that.

Have a great day!

Did I say That?

Did I say that I was really going to try to post about 2-3 times a week?  Hmm.  It appears that I did.  Oops.

Life as of course been busy and the last few weeks I feel  like I have been trying to keep my head above water.  Sometimes it felt like it was lapping just under my nose.

My house is a mess, I have so much laundry to do that it really isn't funny any more, but my children and husband are feeling more loved this week.  It seems like I just can't get it right.  I can't keep up the house AND love my children and husband the way they should be.  Maybe by the time the kids are all grown up I will have it mastered.  So this next week it might be time to focus on the house.  Poor husband and kids.

Okay, gotta go, I have two of the three kids crying and husband is home!!

Later,

Money does matter

So I know I just posted but I just had to share what I just heard.

Macy had a friend stay overnight last night and the 2 girls are up and playing in Macy's room.  Connor wants to go in there and play with them and Macy won't let him.  So I had him sit on the couch and look out the window at the huge snow flakes that were being blown out of the trees.  I thought it was interesting, he didn't think so.  All of a sudden he jumps up and runs to his room.  I thought, "good he will play in his room and leave the girls alone."

Well, this is what I just heard.

Macy's door opens.

Connor says "Here, if I give you a penny and a quarter, can I play with you guys?"

And people say that money doesn't buy you everything!!

Little Griffin

He was so funny, he was carrying around the same piece of snow for about 15 minutes!

There, got it up the hill!

Connor's snow angle.

Having fun.

Sweet baby boy!

Sweet big boy (with 2 bottom middle wiggly teeth)!

My sweet Miss Macy!

The crazy thing is, it snowed even more last night!!  Schools are 2 hours late today.  Yay, we like 2 hours late.  More time to get ready in the morning and I actually have time to make the kids some breakfast.  Last night I wasn't going to post about the weather and look what I do this morning....

Take care everyone!
