Our Weekend

Well, as you can tell the baby has not made his/her arrival yet. That is okay though. We had fun this weekend. Here are some pictures of our Fun Dough weekend. The children had never played with the stuff and they had an absolute ball! Not sure if Hubby or DS had more fun though. The picture to the left is of Hubby and DS sword fighting with their dough men. Although it appears DS forsook the actual dough man and went after Papa's guy as a giant.
The next picture of DD watching her Bubby and Papa "fight it out". You can see her yellow creation on her tray. She is a budding artist! ;)

Can you tell what the animal is in the next picture? It is my wonderful creation....my snail. ;) I thought it was pretty good. I never really got creative with this stuff, but I am proud of this little guy. Hopefully the more I play with the fun dough with the children I will become more creative. We will just have to wait and see.

This awesome creation of a T-Rex head was done by my wonderfully talented Hubby!
And here is a picture of DS with his Dough Knight...preparing for battle!

I am very pleased with myself that I have not become more impatient on waiting for this baby. It is probably because I have had practice waiting. Apparently I am not the type of woman that delivers her babies early...and I am alright with that. I really want to hold my precious baby in my arms, but there is apparently a reason why God hasn't let me yet. Going from 2-3 children is going to be a huge change for me, but I know that God does not give more than I can handle and I thank him for that! I am trying to just keep my mind on my daily duties of laundry and taking care of my family (food and house cleaning). Well...since I mentioned my laundry I better get back to it. In case baby does decide to make an appearance soon I don't want there to be a mountain of laundry for Hubby to have to deal with. May you all stay warm and God bless your day!

Looks like you got in some family time and had a great time. I hope to do that this weedend. Seems there is never enough hours in the day..
Your right going from 2 to 3 kids is a change but well worth it...never a dull moment here..lol..
I am sure the baby will come when he/she is ready. I'll be praying for a smooth delivery.

Don't you just love play dough? We sure have fun with it. Now Chloe likes to play with it everyday. Still doesn't make anything other than "pancakes" with it but she is learning.
I am sure you are ready to have your baby...but you are right. He/she will arrive in God's time. And it will be worth the wait. :)

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

I did it!

Yes, I did get up at 5am this morning. Two days in a row, that is a HUGE deal for me. Let's see if I can keep this up (but probably not on Sundays). Tomorrow will be the test. I am not the type of person that can sleep in two days in a row and then get up on time through the week. I am going to try to only allow myself (at first) to sleep in one day a week. We will see how that goes. ;) But, my quiet time the past two mornings has been wonderful! It's amazing how it totally changes my day. Today I was thinking about smiling. Do you know that people are drawn to a smile? It's true. Think about it. When you are out in a store or just out on a walk...there is something about a smile from someone. I guess it gives me "hope" that there are actually people out there with joy in their heart. Gotta wonderful sometimes with all the scowls I see. Make sure you have a smile on your face today. :) Oh...the other night when we went to the store Sweet E was so happy. When we w
