whackamolies and booties

this one has been storing up for a while and i feel like i am finally releasing so much pent up blogging...

celebrating

a little contentment. i am ashamed to say that my disposition has improved with new digs (we moved again) and my husband finding a little balance between work and home. i know we are supposed to be joyful always...i'll keep prayin on that one

whackamolies

maybe you can figure it out. we asked brennan what he had been learning at church and without thinking he responded "all about the whackamolies". 'scuz me?? can you say it slower son? WHACK-A-MOLIES in the bible he promptly says slowly (and loudly). the only other biblical word we could decifer was tabernacle. they had been learning about the tabernacle at church for several weeks so clearly he took something from the lesson. we will rest in the fact that he is learning something; even if it includes some made up people group?

too much tv you think?

another brennan crack up came when he said "you can say to people who breathe on you 'have you been chewin on a skunk'" and you must do it with a thick brother cadence. apparently he heard it on cory in the house-disney channel. he says it all the time and loves to get the laughs.

harrison heard us talking about brennan and in an effort not to have is brother thought of as funnier than him... he piped in when i asked him to do something for me..."talk to the booty because the hands off duty" NICE

girly girl

as a young mother you can't wait to have your little girl and dress her up and show her all the finer points of girlyness. i got more than i ever bargained for. EVERY day i am challenged with aleksandra needing "more mom stuff"...make up..jewelry..REAL purse and real purse stuff inside...lipstick..mom clothes...listen to my ipod...cook like a mom (with lovely mixtures of tabasco, grapes, lemonade, cookies, goldfish, butter...) it never ends! EVERY DAY....just now i was told i was the baby and she was the mommy and she needs the computer to do whatever she wants!

2 is a bratty age not a temperature

what the *&%#^ with this winter. who lives here??? i have never worn socks so long in my life..months now without my cute toes showing!

deep not wide

i am really meditating on depth in relationships lately. thanks to those of you i share one with. it is more important to me than i knew.
