So I am teaching the boys to protect Kaitlyn, and that it is there job to watch out for her where ever we go. We had a whole long talk about it, and my middle child Chandler said ” If anyone tries to touch or hurt her I will whip there sorry butts” Don’t ask me where he heard that….cause I don’t know, but I am thankful he takes it seriously. IT was so cute and sweet.

So today I am supposed to be cleaning and working on my laundry…am I doing that….No….do I feel like doing that….No…I am officially giving myself the day off…to just do stuff that I feel like doing…..like my crafts…play with the kids…write emails…read blogs…eat….you know…all the fun stuff. Now, that does mean tomorrow I will have to kick it in high gear. Oh well, we all need a day off every once in a while.

Last night I worked on my friend Joys baby gift some more. I am so excited about it. I wish I could post some pictures but she reads my blog sometimes and I don’t want her to see it. It is so cool. All hand made, no pattern. And if I feel so motivated once done I will make Kaitlyn one and maybe one of my other friends Michelle who is getting ready to have a baby. My mom made me one when I was one. And I still have it. OOOOHHHH I am so excited. Okay i think I will work on that for while, I really want to finish it up in the next week. Don’t you want to know what it is….

And finally wouldnt it be fun to be walking down the street or be in walmart and your phone rings and you pull out this and answer!!!! So funny! I want one of those Tony!

Wow, my time just seems to fly by. I went to Joanne fabric last night and bought 3 patterns. I have never sewed with a pattern. So this is a whole new experience for me. I got some easy summer dresses to make Kaitlyn and some really funky fabric. I hope they turn out. I am trying to finish up my friend Joy’s baby gift. Okay her baby was born awhile ago and I am still working on it! UGH. Once it is finished I will post it here.
Kaitlyn’s first tooth has pooped through. And we are having many talks about not biting mommy while nursing. That little tooth is so sharp. My boys never bit me, but she on the other hand thinks that mommy is a teething tool.

This weekend I will be planting some herbs and some lettuce and green onions. My sister-in-law has been planting some things, and I have decided that I would try it out. We will see how it goes. The kids each have a planter that they are in charge of. And they are so excited. I hope they grow. Anyways, must sign off for now, I have to be at church tonight.

I just love my kids. I want them to grow up to be Godly men and women. I wonder sometimes if I am doing everything that I can to make that happen. I know ultimately it is there choice, but am I giving them everything they need to be Successful? I want them to be great. Not the greatness you are probably thinking of. I don’t care what they do, as long as they know that it is what God wants for them. I don’t care if they live in a big house or shack. That does not make them great. I think alot of times we teach our kids that in order to be successful and be great, you have to have the best job, or the perfect family, or perfect grades, or the best car, or the biggest house, or make so much money, or be involved in so many activities. Where in fact that is totally opposite of what Jesus teaches. I just want them to be servants of others, and to love the Lord with all there heart. I want them to know that when struggles come that He is still there by there side and when they are successful in the world it is not because of them but because of Jesus. He is the giver of everything. He alone will make them truly happy. He alone will be the only one that can satisfy them. I want each of them to grasp that concept. It is not someone else who makes you happy or things, but Jesus. If you are reading this you might think I am a fruit case, but this is my deepest desire for my kids.

Anyways, today I had some disappointing news come my way, I would rather not share what it is right now, maybe at a later date, but I am disappointed in “people”. That is another thing I want to teach my kids…not to have too much faith in people, they are just “people” after all. And they will disappoint you at times. The question is what will you do with that frustration. I think I am going to have so spend some extra time in prayer today. And just give it to the Lord…. it is like he is saying “This is a test, what are you going to do”, well I am determined to not let Satan steal my joy. Today I just need the peace of Him. He does say that he will give you peace that will pass all your understanding. And Lord, I need that today.
