"Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them." Psalm 127: 3-5
- I chose this scripture for two reasons. First of all, my BFF is having a baby! We found out over the weekend that we will add another little one to our family in August. How exciting!
- Secondly, after my hubby being on call for two weeks and having the kids myself a bunch of that time, I think I needed the reminder! It is so easy to get weary at times when the house is full of little ones. I must reminder that these days will go by so fast and I WILL miss them one day. I will miss writings on the wall, stains on the floor, stepping on toys that HURT your feet, dealing with poop (well, maybe I won't miss THAT!), and all the fun stuff that goes along with little ones as we try to teach them as they grow.
- The amount of apples we go through in our home is crazy! On Saturday I bought 6 pounds of apples and they are almost gone! My kids eat apples all day long. I think we need to start planting an orchard.
- Speaking of planting, my mom reminded me that I need to start thinking about the garden. I have a seed catalog that came last month....maybe I'll pull that out and start figuring out what we will plant. I know a few things I want more of this year, a few things we don't need so much of because they did so well (like jalapenos!).
- My dad is mounting our new flat screen t.v. today! Yep, we finally got a new one. No, the old one did not break. My grandma decided to give us a gift card for Christmas to get a new one. We got one to mount on the wall where little hands can't touch it. I have to say, I am excited. I am so done with dealing with t.v. issues. We've been watching only movies for 2 weeks because the kids broke a cable that hooks up the satellite. It was the second one they've broken in the past few weeks, so I refused to fix it again! I will also be glad to see the entertainment stand go. It's served us well and I'm done with that too!
- I went to the library Saturday and got some more books to read. Mistake. I already finished one Saturday night. Books are too distracting for me. I guess that proves even good things can be bad.
- Oh, and I am getting all caught up with electronics-I have a new cell phone being delivered tomorrow morning! Yay again! I finally found a touch screen phone with a better camera, that is a basic phone. No data plan required! I am elated. I've needed a new phone for about a year or more. Now, next I'll post how the touch screen drives me crazy! Ha! Oh, and it was free except for some upgrade charge which I'm still not sure I understand.
- We are touring two prospective preschools this month. I am excited and also can hardly believe it. It's really happening, my babies are growing up! I'll have to share what I liked about each and what we decided to do. I think I know which way we are leaning, but I can't say really until I see what they each offer.
- I hope to post pictures soon, I have to upload some anyway that I want to order for Henry's birthday poster. Yep, we are already planning for Henry's birthday. We do love a party in my family! It's so fun to celebrate each person. Mr. Henry is having a farm-themed party with basically our family/grandparents at my grandma's house. Small and age appropriate I think. It is such a cute theme that fits him well- cows, chickens, tractors, etc. and is called "Cock-a-doodle TWO". He will love it. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was a close contender (or "hot dog" as Henry calls him). I also thought about playing on the whole Valentine's theme and having a candy/sweets them with "Henry is TWO sweet" as the theme, but I decided farm stuff fit him better since he LOVES tractors and anything farm related, especially John Deere and New Holland tractors. Another little farmer just like his big brother!
