Is it bad when I can't remember the web address to my own blog?
I don't like Pizza Hut anymore. There I said it, and my family (esp. Billy) will just have to deal with it. If I can recall this accurately 3 out 4 kids have had the stomach bug right BEFORE eating there. I don't blame Pizza Hut. But somehow it happens. Ella was not feeling great today (apparently). She "threw up" twice. Nothing big. She managed to let it be known that she officially wasn't feeling great. She wet her pants just before we left. It wasn't from pee pee. The toilet is clogged at the restaurant. Sorry.
I found out today that Alayna says prayers at AWANA. Prayers of thankfulness for Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber. Just putting this out there, that they are not spoken of (often) in our house nor do we have a need to show them gratitude. Upon hearing this, I pulled over the car. The kids could tell how upset this made me feel. I calmed down, knowing that she knew better and she was doing it for the laughs. Yes, a topic Billy needs to address with her. On a brighter note, she has been doing a sweet job saying her prayers at night. So well, that she has her two copy cats following her. That is another reason, on a list of many...not to say prayers of thankfulness for Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber. Moving on...
Cailin is very handy with her hands. She recently learned how to put a ponytail in her doll's hair. She moved onto my hair and her own hair. She wants to learn how to braid. She is working on it. Her goal right now (her personal goal) is to be able to tie her own shoes. Again, she's working on it. She actually practices this stuff all day. Cailin also has been interested in crocheting. I have just completed my very own crochet project...potholders. I am going to attempt to make some scarves for the kids. I am very thankful for my new hobby and for my teacher. But it's new. New to me. Everytime I sit to work on a project Cailin asks if she can help. Eventually I give in. It's quite a sight to see my hands on her hands trying to work together.
I do have another kid. Eric Matthew. He's doing well. Still into sports and music. He is currently into MadLibs. You know, where you fill in random nouns, verbs, and adjectives in order to make a silly story. He is also in the middle of reading a chapter book, beyond his reading level, about Ronde and Tiki Barber. It's about their start in middle school as football players. He is also getting ready for the Christmas show at his school. He gets to play Jingle Bells on his guitar in front of his grade with his fellow musicians. He is all over the place. Speaking of that, he leaves his stuff all over the place. He runs all over the place...usually throwing a ball off the wall and catching it. With Eric everywhere, it could drive a person crazy. But I wouldn't like it any other way. Well, I would like at least his stuff put away.
Billy and I are doing well. We are currently in a great Bible study series in 1 Peter. I will save that for another post. Who knows? Maybe weeks won't pass by before I write again. Though I might start taking classes for my Masters Degree. Sooo.....
