To Do

Do you ever just feel like you have so much to do it consumes your thoughts. That's why I love a list if I can get it out on paper I feel like it is out of my mind at least for a time. So I thought I'd type out a few of my to dos. Just to get them out of my head. Not a whole lot exciting just what I want to accomplish in the next few days.

I'm sure there is more, there is always more, but that is a good jumping off point.

Jesus

Today we went to story time at the library. The theme this week was dads for Father's Day. On our way home I asked Isaac what we talked about it went like this:

Me: Isaac, what did we read about today
Isaac: Daddys and Dinosaurs
Me: Oh, yeah. You have a good Daddy don't you?
I: Uh Huh
M: What do you love about your Daddy?
I: Jesus!
M: Does your daddy talk to you about Jesus?
I: Yep, I love Jesus and Daddy.


I thought that was cool. The first thing my 3 year old says he loves about his Dad is the fact that he shares Jesus with him.

My boys

Today was a pretty boring day. We went to the mall to play for a bit since it was raining. Then the boys took a short nap. Once they woke up we just seemed to hang out and do a lot of nothing. I was sitting at the desk trying to do some paper work. Isaac sat on the couch to keep me company and Asher played under the desk at my feet. So it will be interesting to see where the next one will hang out on rainy days. :)

Toy Tester

Awhile ago I sent an email to parenting magazine saying I'd like to be a toy tester or product tester. It had been awhile with no answer, so I didn't think a whole lot about it. Then the other day I received an email saying we would be getting a toy in the mail to test. We just got it and it is for Isaac's age. I'm so excited for him to wake up and try it. I'm not sure if it is something he will get into or not. He will be playing with the Zap and Learn Why Writer from Super Why (a PBS show). However, it seems like it may be out of his skill level. It requires some reading, and Isaac is still working on recognizing his letters. I will be interested to see how he does with it.

Here is a little of what we've been up to.

We had such a crazy May! We traveled every weekend! My best friend, Meredith, got married so we were back and forth from IN quite a bit.










Isaac broke his thumb at church. So we spent mother's day in the ER this year. After having the splint for 2 1/2 weeks the Dr. said he was ok to take it off with no cast. Praise Jesus!



Asher went to Kiddie Kuts for his first official hair cut. We have had lots of fun just playing and enjoying summer.



I'm officially in my third trimester of pregnancy now. So that means soon our family will be adding another little boy! That's just a few things that we have been up to.

Why do I do this to myself?

I am 31 weeks pregnant today! Time is flying, which is nice, because I am getting more and more uncomfortable. The nursery is ready, we have most of the equipment we need ( I think) most of it is hanging out in the garage... I need to dig out my pump and a few other random things that I have I just don't have out. So I am on track for being prepared.

But then, in typical me fashion I feel having a new baby is not enough to keep me busy. SO...we put our house on the market. Why? Because we can. But in order to sell a house it must look nice. SO... Dan has been working on the yard like crazy and I have been cleaning out the inside like crazy. Leaving us with a huge pile of stuff in our garage. The most logical thing to do would be to add something else to my plate and have a garage sale.

Now, I love a good garage sale. The thrill of getting rid of clutter and have people pay me for it almost makes me giddy. I love the thought of making back some of the cash we have dished out on mulch and flowers and other household stuff. But now I have to price it all! That is my least favorite part. I actually like organizing all the stuff. I like setting up my yard to look like a department store.

This year we are doing it with several families. One family is done having babies so she has a lot of kids stuff. One family has a TV another some random furniture. We have an array of household stuff and toys that we just don't have room for.

I love to be busy, but sometimes I wonder why I fill my plate. I know the reward will be a big pay off. If nothing else I will be able to find all the baby stuff hiding in my garage.

Free Root Beer Floats at Sonic

So apparently Sonic is offering free 10 oz root beer floats on Wed June 3 (tomorrow) from 8-close. A sonic just opened near us and we have yet to try it. This may be a good excuse to go. Plus, we may go with our house church to kick off summer.

I LOVE FREE STUFF!!!!
