Here is a video of Noah with 2 of the latest toys I brought home today from my adventures in Garage Saleing. When I set out to take the video, it was meant to be all about the lawn mower, but Noah got distracted so you'll get to see the tool bench I scored too. The total for both toys? $1.50. And let me tell you, the mower is already more than worth its price, since it has kept Noah occupied for an hour today! That is a lot to expect from a single toy. :)



This morning Josh and I changed the oil in our car. Funny story: Every Single Time we change the oil, Josh invariably says, "Next time I am paying someone to do this! What is it, like 20 bucks? That's a deal!" I always have to laugh because he likes to save the money by doing it himself, but forgets how much he hates getting out the ramps and scooting under the car, getting covered with oil (hard to avoid), etc etc.

Tonight we plan to go out to dinner to celebrate the sale of our house on Lord Taylor Dr. This is such a huge answer to prayer that it sold in this market! It has been a huge weight off of Josh to have it sold, but we still have a few more that need to sell. Gotta get rid of those Albatrosses around our necks! The Lord is good!

Enjoy your dinner!! PTL for a house selling, and I will keep praying for other houses to sell as well (along with ours!).

Tonight We Babysat Brianne

Image
How's that for a title? Very creative, I know. Let me know if you ever need me to come up with a witticism for you. Totally kidding here! :) Matt and Jen went out on their monthly Date Night, so we got a chance to have Brianne over for the evening. What fun! They don't really play with each other, just near each other. Hopefully that will change. Bathtime! This cracks me up. Brianne dive-bombed a rubber duck! Who knows what Noah is doing. :) So cheesy, this kid! She really, really wanted my camera. So the whole evening went well. Josh helped out, which was unexpected and wonderful. :) After her bath, Brianne was crying (I think she got cold) and I gave her to Josh while I finished up with Noah. Once we got her warmed up, she was fine. She is such a sweetheart, and we look forward to next month when we get her again for an evening. Oh, and we're so looking forward to our own date night to take place later this month! Somehow I think Matt and Jen are get...

365 Project, week 4

Image
A pretty normal week for us again!  We had lots of everyday moments in preparation for an out-of-the-ordinary week to come.  Here's how it looked:   Daddy time in the evening often involves an episode of Bonanza.  Little Joe is a favorite around here! Bath time for Seth.  Maybe it's because he's my second child, but I do not have anywhere near the amount of baby gear I had with Noah.  Baby bathtub? Nowhere in sight.  It's Kitchen Sink City for us!  For this reason, you may not see an actual bath picture, because it takes all my hands to hold on to Seth in the sink.  If I ever have a helper, we may see good future blackmail bath time photos. :) One afternoon Noah and I took his after-school snack to the dock.  Handi-snacks, anyone?  I, for one, love that they still come with the little red stick for spreading, just like when I was his age! Cowboys are his favorite these days.  What're YOU lookin' at...

My Gunniwolf

Image
If you've never read it before, The Gunniwolf by Wilhelmina Harper is a great children's story!  You get fantastic onomatopoeia ( what?!   that means words that sound like the noises they describe), beautiful illustrations, and an object lesson in obedience to boot.  PLUS, the kids I know seem to love it.  Bonus. Noah's school put on a literacy parade today, in which the children could dress up as a character from a favorite book. (If you ask me, it was just a chance to let the kids try out their Halloween costumes early. But still.)  Noah immediately wanted to be the Gunniwolf.  Knowing that any wolf costume I could find in the stores would come with a horrible scary face and be at least $10, we made his out of felt and glue for $3.25 with a much friendlier face. So, I have a little wolf on my hands.  And next Wednesday, our church's Patch the Pirate Club will be hosting a Noah's Ark party, where the kids can come dressed as any animal th...
