The Most Cutest Little Girl

Two things I heart :

Amazon.com and sani-soap. I absolutly love amazon now that i discovered buying bulk diapers is way cheaper than any store and I can get free two day delivery because I am an "amazon mom". Oh the joys of saving money! A little here and a little there equals a bill paid, and I will most certainly not complain about that. My other love is hand sanitizer, some says its ruining our ability to create antibodies to fight off viruses and such, I however say that those people obviously dont have little ones playing at the mcdonalds playplace and then sticking their hands in their mouths! I never understood until this winter why so many moms keep their chillun's inside during germ season. My daughter is now on her second round of sickness within three weeks. Fever, but no other symptoms, so maybe its teething, but I blame all the other sickun's that bite the shopping carts at wally world and leave their germies for my daughter to lick up when its her turn to gnaw at them. I guess my kids part of that vicious cycle :( Well, next year I think I will go to amazon.com and stock up on some sani-soap!

oh dear....

Yup that is exactly what's going on in my head right now. Two toddlers one momma= chaos. Ha ha as fun as it is, it's just as crazy! I'll paint a picture of my house right now: toys everywhere, pacifiers hidden around, books scattered around, and Makenzie's room is a disaster! Luckily one is napping and I bribed the other one to be quite with a cookie and Disney channel (we shall see how long it lasts). Oh and the cookie is now smeared into my couch bahh! I wouldn't trade the toddler years for anything though, I absolutely love it! I love finding pacifiers in my bathtub, snack crumbs all over my house and toys strewn about everywhere after a hard day of playing, I love nap hair, reading her the same book over and over again and sneaking her chocolate when its just me and her home. The snuggles are great and although the kisses are rare they just about melt my heart. Basically I love being a mom! Now I'll take a minute and say good luck sarah and lets hope they get that baby out soon!

Rainy day daydreamer....

Rain Rain don't go away, wash wash this snow away! Sometimes rainy days just drag on and on for me, however today I find myself daydreaming. What will Makenzie be when she grows up? Today, while I browsed recipes, Makenzie jammed to the tv. Oh how my little girl loves to dance! And oh how I love to watch her, especially when she doesn't know anyone's watching! She gets groovin' and movin', hands get going while the head bobs and the bum wiggles; she makes me giggle a lot. I don't think I have ever experienced so much spirit in a one year old before! If only I could dig into that little brain of hers and find out what is on her mind, oh the things I would find! So what does one little girl with such a vibrant spirit grow up to be? How much does environment impact an individuals choice of lifestyle and am I impacting her life in the right way? So many questions I have only to be answered when the time comes. A cook? A baker? A candlestick maker? Ok now, maybe not those occupations (or maybe so?), but if I could choose one thing for my daughter to be it would be this: a godly woman. If my daughter were to become such a woman all other things would fall in place for her (if only we women could just realize and get that through our heads!). She would be happy, content, and would be joyful at whatever occupation she was in because it would be where God wanted her. That is my dream for her, not to conquer the world or be the greatest president who ever lived, but to simple respect and honor God with her life. As for now, I'll be content watching her groove and move and take in the beauty of what God has created. After all I can only take her so far, then its between her and God.
Isaiah 64:8
Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

I Have An Itch

Oh beauteous spring where art thou? I have never longed for your mud more than I do now! Oh groundhog, how false your conjecture was!
Ok, now really where is spring!? All I am seeing is snow snow and more snow! You know that verse in the Bible that says in everything give thanks, well I'm having a hard time with that right now. All this snow is dragging me down! It's the devil I say! I want to hear birds and see flowers budding and smell spring (even if its laced with a muddy poo smell)! Although like my husband all ways says: you can wish in one hand and poo in the other and see which one fills up first.
Sometimes in summer I look around and see that what God has made truly is good. The trees, the flowers, the earth beneath my feet I love it all and in it I find myself rather content. I guess I'll just have to keep on trucking and have hope that one day I will see grass again, but for now I don't think there is any cream that will cure this itch.

Poopy Croupy

Today I had my first experience with a very sick baby :( and boy oh boy is it not fun! Little M woke up with a bark of a cough and I woke up with a maternal panic (which by the way BJ, is perfectly ok to have). So at quarter of seven in the morning I was off to the doctors only to find my suspicion correct: croup. One prescription later, I found myself at Wal Mart only to find that the pharmacy wasn't open until nine thus causing me to go home empty handed (well, not quite :) I got myself a little herb garden)with a very unhappy and under the weather baby. Thus: Poopy Croupy!
