following grace

Now.. don't judge. that's not nice. this is MY journal and this MUST be recorded to look back and laugh at how absolutely retarded we act in our household.. i give you exhibit A: today,, is monday. a random day that starts the week. now most say Monday determines how your week will go. most of the time i find this truthful and tonight definitely should determine the rest of the week.. We have been CRAZY busy in our fam. and given that every child except the one below found sleeping took a nap today we had quite an amount of energy.. So we set out after dinner waiting for dad to get home and we were doing our chores.. you know,, im playing with dog, Stephen with cars, Wilson sleeping.. and then there's landon. the family jokester. never a dull moment. god love her. she thought she would be cool and try to make her chores fun, so she taunts me by lifting the trash over my head.. well,, she tripped and down went the trash.. and her.. i think we all la...

every day is crazy but Thursdays they're madness. from 5am to usually about 8pm i am going non stop and when i get home around 9pm im too tired to function.. after school time is spent with this cutie..{and his brother, who hates pictures} he's pretty presh and we always have a good time. :) he gives me some good laughs. Ahhh im a boy, dressed like a girl.. what gives? ;) and last thursday i went straight to this sweet girls house to entertain her until around midnight.. she might be the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. she was such a pro at everything. knew EXACTLY how to pop the popcorn. put on 8, put 1tbs of oil, one kernel and when it pops throw it away and put 2tbs of kernels in, then season.. etc. guess thats what an only child has to get used to. lol and im pretty sure this smile made my exhaustion WAY more bearable. So sweet. and getting paid to let her doll me up. Oh anytime.. Thursdays are cuh- ray- zee. ...

to whatever song plays.. without a care in the world.. last weekend, my favoritest little girl who i claim as my own came to have a sleepover. I've mentioned her several times as we've had girls days in the past but spending the day with JUST her was something so special to her and so cute to experience for me. when i see her little innocent 4 year old self just a frolicking feeling like she's on top of the world in her tutu the words that come to mind are the words of Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Cinderella" Shes such a beautiful princess in mine and God's eyes and watching her just makes me miss my childhood days of carefree fun.. we woke up Saturday morning and as i brushed my teeth i heard her giggling. i walked in to see she was sporting my nerd glasses. lol after i tried to get halfway ready she couldn't wait any longer to sport her curls so we dolled her up with her rollers and she found this 100% fabulous tutu to wear. ...
