just a funny little story.....

during dinner devotions a few weeks back, a FEW of us were having a hard time concentrating. my dear husband, LOVINGLY, told the boys "WE ARE HAVING DEVOTIONS, SIT STILL AND FOCUS! THIS IS IMPORTANT!" so max, continuing to ask the questions from the book turns his attention to daddy. "dad, so WHAT is the answer?".....
a LLL-oooo-nnnn-GGGG pause.
"ummmmm, could you please repeat the question?
really now, if we're going to scold the children, we really should 'practice what we preach'!!!!
***listen up daddy...you NEVER know when you'll get asked the next question.***

the ironing queen...

ironed.
24 shirts.
one lady.
4 hours.
NOT me.
my mom, the saint.

a found treasure....

last week while cleaning out Sam's backpack i stumbled across this letter from his friend, Braden. oh, this does a mom's heart good.
already in the 4th grade, he is learning what it means to be a good friend. i'm proud of him.

a good quote....

i love them. i do. i love quotes. i love words. if i had more wall space, i'd fill every square inch with them. while i was walking around my house taking pictures of all the different sayings around my house, i realized that some would say i am borderline obsessed with them. (i realized that my dear sister also has some of the same 'issues' that i do with them.) so, i'll continue to collect them. maybe i could switch some of them out with some fun ones that YOU have, ya know, do a 'quote rotation' of sorts. cuz i NEED another one, ya know.....

*forgot to take a picture of it but i even have a shirt with a great quote on it. simply said....."i love my husband". :)
