bills...

I don't mind paying my bills because that means I can pay my bills..... most of them anyway. But what I don't like is dealing with customer service agents who #1 speak very little English and #2 are having a bad day. Very frustrating. But! It is almost Sunday! And on Sunday I get to go scrap with Keri :) I've been looking forward to this for two weeks! Yeay!

I'm feeling a bit creative. Marcella (Dan's cousin and my friend) has been having me do some little projects around her house getting ready for her surgery on March 9th. One of the things that I am doing is making a table skirt and window valences for her bedroom. I have not sewed in years but as I was picking out the material and trying to access the creative side of my brain things seem to be coming back! Yeay! Wish me luck :) Love you guys :)))))))))))))

we went on a date this weekend...

Dan and I went to a one day marriage enrichment seminar in Tulsa yesterday. Free seminar, free parking, tons of candy conversation hearts, free lunch w/soda and these fantastic cookies, how could we go wrong? We have gone to things like this in the past and they pretty much have the same stuff in them. Which doesn't really bother us because there is nothing wrong with a refresher :) This one, however, had this really cool personality test in it.... those are always entertaining! (lol... and are usually fairly accurate) There was also this great photo booth that all of the couples could use. This is the scrapbook page I put together about it. Love you all :)

look at me dad!

At one point during this play time Henry actually had Dan's head in his mouth. He is sooo much a 'daddy's boy' and still thinks he is small and that walking all over people is exactly what he is supposed to be doing. In this first picture Henry has a stuffed heart with arms and legs in his mouth. When you throw it or bounce it on something it makes a 'bo-ing' noise and says 'i love you!'. Henry really likes that one. We can tell due to the fact that he has had it since Friday and it is still intact!

the sleeping child...

When I am holding Seth while he is sleeping God uses that time to remind me that he is an angel. Not a four year old bossy, whiny, violent and demanding child. He reminds me that this small child has my heart wrapped around his heart forever.

......

You know those phases in your life when everything feels out of control and you seem to get knocked down over and over again? Yeah, it's like that.

seth is comming!

Unfortunately Seth's coming to our house for a few days is due to a tragedy in Don's (Seth's dad) family. His mom died yesterday and he is going to go to Paris Texas to make all of the arrangements. He is also in the process of moving to another town and the movers are coming tomorrow. I'd say that qualifies as a little stress. Allison and Matthew have school and work so I asked if I could pick him up and keep him for awhile. I'm sorry for Don and Seth's loss but glad that we get to spend some time together. We are going to make cookies! Now I just need to pick up 'kid friendly' food and Seth. He doesn't eat bread or cheese... weird. But I'm sure he is not an alien. Will post pics soon :) Love you all!
