It's Back!

So the twitch in my right eye is back. What am I going to do? I thought maybe it was gone for good, and now I look like a person with a twitch. OH gosh. If you don't remember reading about last time it happened, you can go back and check it out here. Although this time the twitch is in the lower right quadrant of my eye. That's different...

Also, Hallie wanted some crackers. We have two types of crackers that she loves to snack on, graham crackers, and club crackers, you know, like a buttery saltine. Delicious. I usually decide which one to give her, but sometimes I get tired of the tyranny of dictatorship. So, I thought I'd see if she could handle making her own choices. She's never been tested this way before. I hold out both options. "Which cracker do you want, Hallie?" She looks at the crackers. She looks up at me. She looks back at the crackers. "Which one do you want?" I ask again. A big smile slowly starts to grow on her face... She reaches out a hand, and I'm starting to get excited. My little girl is growing up and picking crackers! Her hand moves towards the treat, when suddenly her other hand darts forward with perfect timing and she grabs both!! Oh well. Another day.

    Sorry about the twitch. :( That seems very uncomfortable. Maybe you can ask your doctor about it when you're there in a few weeks.

    Aww Hallie. Haha.

    Hallie passed the test with flying colors! When given a choice of two delicious crackers, quickly grab both! This WAS an intelligence test, right?

    I agree with mamaB! What an intellegent girl--just like the dove chocolate test the other day. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to take it!

    Very cute Hallie!
    As for your eye, I sometimes get a twitch when I'm under rested and when I'm stressed. What is stressing you? =)

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
