What’s Going On?

So I’m sitting here singing those lyrics in my head. Let see What’s going on…..

Baby Boy is crying because he wants a marker, that is what all one and a half year olds do, then they stop and come zerbert your legs, perfectly normal toddler activity, then he resumes to saying please with his mouth and both hands because he wants that darn marker. I’m thinking of giving it to him, it is washable and we have paper on the wall for them to write on. I've been loving our giant sticky pad that my Dad gave me forever ago that’s been in hiding. After my white board got broken I thought to hang our giant sticky pad on on the wall in it’s place! Turns out I like it better than the white board for the kids. Well I should really say the kids like it, so I like it! When they finish we don’t have to erase it, we merely pull that paper off and stick it somewhere else. Of course one day the paper will run out and I’ll have to see if I can get another one! Well did I digress or what?

We cut back our cable and one of the few channels we get is the history channel. So I’m learning all about the Tomahawk and how it could be doubled as a pipe! Things I always wanted to know!

It’s thundering….. again….and I still like it!

The kids went to VBS again this week (yes, different church this one is one we actually attend sometimes), they’ve had a really good time. One thing they really liked about this VBS was they got to be in the class together. It was just my oldest two that went.

Oh, I’ve decided I need to start scrapbooking. I’ve been collecting things all week and am excited! I got a bunch of paper and stickers from freecyclers! You’ve got to love freecycle! Now I just need to order some pictures! If anyone has any must visit scrapbooking sites or any great forums for beginning scrapbooking, please let know!

Yesterday was my birthday! I turned another year older. My sweet friend Lauren brought me a birthday cake and noisemakers over to help me celebrate! And even though my hubby worked late he brought us home dinner from Chili’s, one of his our favorite places to eat!

Of course I didn’t think to stop and take my friends picture till after she left- duh! Do you like Live Writer’s Sepia color?

In case you’d not noticed the link in the sidebar, I opened up an Etsy shop. I’ve not yet sold anything, wanna be my first? I may add some more items or I may wait till something I have up sells! We’ll see.

Also I’m going to having a giveaway sometime in the next few days, so stay tuned for that!

I’m going to try and leave you with a video of Baby Boy dancing! Not sure if this is going to work, if it doesn’t I’ll fix it the ole fashion way in a bit.

~yep it's not uploading probably due to our crummy wireless, I'll connect by hand later and upload.

The I Believe Bunny by Tish Rabe

I had the pleasure of reviewing this sweet book by Tish Rabe called The I Believe Bunny.  This is the first book in the start of a new children’s series. In this story a Bunny  comes across a mouse who needs rescuing from a river.  After trying to rescue him without success, the Bunny stops and says a prayer for God to help him and soon after help shows up in the form of friends.  My four and eight year old both listened to me read this book full of rhyming, I would say the book  is aimed for ages 3-6. The copy I have does have paper pages (hard cover) so it wouldn’t be good in young hands. 

I love that this book shows children that they can talk to God and that he can help them. This is a great way to help teach young children about faith in God! Oh and it was short enough that I didn’t lose my children’s attention! I would give this book 5 stars for sure, keeping in mind that it is a young child’s book focused on Christian beliefs.

Praying for Stellan

Stellan is in desperate need of our prayers at this time, you can visit MckMama's twitter or blog to read details.

"And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:15-16

"O LORD, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief. Psalm 143:1

I also wanted to add that Abby went into the hospital today and is in need of prayers too!

Then Sings My Soul Saturday

I've heard this song before, but I heard it again yesterday on Charity's playlist and wanted to put it on here for all of those who've never heard it. It's one of those songs that make you try to find God in everything! I don't know about you but sometimes I need to be reminded that He is everywhere! When I went to find the song on YouTube I came across this ASL version and wanted to share it because it's beautiful and if my Mom in law is reading she can watch it too!

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." - Psalm 19:1

I also think of Psalm 139, which you can click on if you want to read =)!

Don't forget to go visit Amy at Signs, Miracles & Wonders to see more TSMSS!

By the way the song is "I Saw God Today" by George Strait
