First Rate

All my babies are peacefully napping.  I wrap up on the phone with the lady from customer services who is helping me set up our phone and internet in Lincoln.  Do I dare believe I have time to take a nice. long. hot. shower? 

I decide to live on the wild side, and risk it.  I am trying to decide who I should go get first if when I step out of the shower they are both screaming.  Undecided, I reach to pick up my shower sponge.  (What is that thing really called?)  When it's all soapy and lathery I commence washing.  Enjoying the minty smell I start to wash my legs, and as I get down to my ankle I realize why it had been itching all morning.  In bright blue and orange, a little sticker proudly proclaims me as being 'First Rate'.

Thanks, Hallie.  I think you are first rate too.

Just one of the simple reasons being a mother is worth it.  And why I will from now on check my body for stickers before going to bed at night.

    You really are first rate. I'm curious if the ladies were screaming when you got out? Aren't showers great though?

    Where do you go about getting first rate stickers? I feel like I need to have them on hand just in case any of you ladies show up on my door step...

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 ...
