Day 40~

Today was one of our bi-weekly produce co-op days.

So happy to have some fresh goodness in the house.

Want to see more about just how much fresh produce you can get in a co-op?

If so, go here for my post from around this time last year.

Day 39~

Superman took the boys bowling tonight, so I had a few hours all alone!

It was devine!

It was so quiet in our house.

And, of course, I ended up in my favorite place.

More about it here.

Day 38~

(even if he did put this shirt back on every day of this weekend, Lord help me...)

I tell my boys that all the time. And it's exactly how I feel.

Do you ever feel unworthy of these crazy little blessings that we call children? I sure do!

I look into their eyes and I am amazed. You see, I was a mess before they came along. I made a thousand bad decisions. And, I just don't think that it's humanly possible that I ever did enough right in my life to deserve such wonderful children!

Don't get me wrong. They are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination! There are days when I want to cry when I see how much laundry my messy boys have created. There are days when I wonder if I'll ever make it 24-hours without telling them to stop__________ (hitting each other, stepping on top of each other, fussing with each other, etc).

But there is never a day when I feel worthy of God entrusting me with such precious little boys in my life! Thank goodness God doesn't just give you what you deserve.

HE truly must have loved me a whole lot!

Day 37~

Hanging out with my one of my college roommates and her family!

Our boys get along so well!

Love that!

Day 36~

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our homeschool group plans a field trip every year to the Ringling Brothers, Barnum, & Bailey Circus when it comes to town. Normally Superman and I take the boys, but this year my mom (a.k.a. Grammy) came into town to go with us.

It was sparkly, exciting, and lots of fun!We had really great seats this year!

We were on the 2nd row!

That made it all the more exciting!The boys loved the kitties- I mean tigers!

Probably because of these guys! Have you been this year?

What was your favorite part?

Day 35~ 35 Things While 35

I had to make my photo print list a little less wordy so it would all fit. Imagine that!I decided to print it out at home, and hang it on my fridge. But, wouldn't you know my color cartridge was almost empty. My print out looks very sad and drab in comparison!

I've already sent it out to be printed, so before long, I'll have one that looks just as happy as the pink one at the top to hang on my fridge. And that makes me smile just thinking about it!

Here's my (wordy) list of 35 Things to do While I'm 35:

Day 34~

Did a little retail therapy today.

Found some material to make baby goodies for one of my baby cousins.

Said baby cousin is in her 30's...

and she's having a little girl-

the first little girl cousin!

Oh, I can't wait to get my hands on that sweet little thing.

Day 33~

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hesitated to show this!

But, if I truly want to capture a picture a day and show what our daily life looks like, then I had to!

We spent a good portion of the afternoon working in the boys' room. It had been a while since I did a deep clean in there. We were on a mission to purge, purge, purge.

We went through storage bins, drawers, and even under the bed. This yucky pile is what I swept out from under the bed.

Can I just say that boys are messy (and a little gross!)
At least my boys are!

There's no wonder they can't ever find their crayons or pencils! They're all under their beds! Along with Nerf darts, books, Legos, playing cards, and candy wrappers!

Within the next few months we'll be moving, and I'm trying to get a handle on all this 'stuff' we have. Who knew we had so much of it? Lots of it isn't anything that we want or need to take with us. We sent 3 bags to the trash and filled up 2 boxes for our yard sale.

Tell me my boys aren't the only ones with piles like this under their beds!

And, please tell me that they will one day grow out of it.

Day 32~ Allergic Reaction to Avocado

I found out the hard way last night, that I'm allergic to avocados.

What in the world?

After reading this board, I found out it's not as uncommon as I assumed.

And according to this information, most people allergic to avocados also develop allergies to latex, bananas, mango, chestnut, kiwi, etc. 

I won't miss avocados, but I'd miss the rest of the foods on the list.

Day 31~

Cameron has finished writing all of his thank-you cards from Christmas.

Wyatt may still be working on his at Easter!
