Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement and the many beautiful scriptures you've written about this week! I am working on a thank you post in the best possible way you can thank a reader in the blog world....with links!
I thought I would share a few pictures of just another ordinary day here at our house! Hope it brings you a giggle. For those of you with three year old little boys......well, you already know what I am talking about.
They climb on anything and everything. They do the craziest things I have ever seen in my life. And they will not wear clothes! If you even so much as try to dress them it may look like you are actually wrestling a small animal!
I'm thinking about just tying a white flag around the antenna on my car.
I surrender.
I love my boys....all three of them.
Someone decided to dump out an entire container of "Magnolia Petals" Baby Powder. When I asked him what in the name of our Lord and Savior he thought he was doing he said "I'm wassshin my car Mama!!!" I do not have any pictures of what I discovered after this because I was too busy crying. This precious, adorable, little love of three years old climbed back inside the crib and poured out the rest of the container of powder on top of his baby brother! Preston looked like a giant marshmallow with fat rolls. I'm still vacuuming up the cloud of smoke in the nursery....
Have mercy.
I'm pretty sure I prayed to be raptured up after this.....
Happy Wednesday!!!

I wanted to comment on your last post but could not find the right words to do so. I love you so much and think the world of you! I'm in total awe, your faith is nothing short of inspirational. Can't wait to hug you in reals...
XOXO
Love these photos! And we need to get our visit on the calendar!
@Lizzie~ So true:)
I'm getting my participation grade this week:)
Here's hoping I can move it up to "You are the best mom ever" status with a trip to the playground and a picnic with Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins......
Thank you for so many kind words over the years....xoxoxo

Thank you for your sweet comment.....
Let's see. I do not know what on earth I would show you!!! I love everything all white! Or tones of white...
I am scared to death of color!
People who write about their decorating have things like RED ROOMS! And I am an anti-red room girl! That would cause me to break out in hives:)
I also love the flea market!!! And who on earth wants to see that??
I can photograph the nursery and maybe share that....which I started to do after he was born and wanted to write a post about it, but then just decided not to bother posting it! There are a thousand nurseries online!
SB is walking in and relishing in many blessings right now! I know in one of her last posts she shared that the blogging thing was keeping her from doing the things in life she really wanted to do and doing for others the way she really wanted to do.
I agree, her posts were incredibly lovely!
Hope you are doing well and so happy to see your sweet comment!! xoxox
Lori~
I know that you know!!!!
I laughed out loud at the thought of my boys turning eight years old and still not wanting to wear clothes!
When does it end?!!!
I think of you SO often!! Pray you are doing well! I admire you so much for HS your boys.....how do you do it all?
Big Hugs!

Oh my girls do things too....but my boys are WAY more creative!!!
If I could just bottle up the ingenuity!!!
They are so clever!!
Thank you for all of your sweet comments!!
OMgooooodness!! How do we survive!? Gave you a shout out on my blog today. Read my post!
LOL...I am learning to just let go and be the mother of boys. It is hard - my 1st (who is now away at school) was a girly girl to the 10th degree...then came her brothers so now I find myself living in a house full of men. Boys...their minds are so different and I can never understand or try to foretell the next choice! Happy Thursday!
Sibi--
I so enjoy your posts and your beautiful writing. Thank you for sharing your heart. Boys--I have three. I really get it! Now I have my girl and she is about as girly as they come, calm, lady like and artistic. I love my boys! My oldest is 18...how I miss him. The other two are twins...what one didn't think up the other did. I love the powder picture! I'm sure you were balancing between a giggle and a tear. It's all good. My favorite thing to say...Life is Messy. Surrender the messy to Jesus. xoxo Beth
Boys! Thank you for giving me a giggle this morning. God bless you and your children. Have a blessed day!
have mercy is right! it takes so much patience and love to forgive something like that -- boys! they sure are a gift aren't they?? ;)
