Quote heard as Peanut and T-man were playing nicely in her room today.

Peanut: Barbie, you're a hot mess!

Quote

Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us
show the truth by our actions. 1 John 3:18 (NLT)  -God

Deeper Purpose

Anne walked home very slowly in the moonlight. The evening had changed something for her. Life held a different meaning, a deeper purpose. On the surface it would go on just the same; but the deeps had been stirred. It must not be with her as with poor butterfly Ruby. When she came to the end of one life it must not be to face the next with the shrinking terror of something wholly different--something for which accustomed thought and ideal and aspiration had unfitted her. The little things of life, sweet and excellent in their place, must not be the things lived for; the highest must be sought and followed; the life of heaven must be begun here on earth.  

Excerpt from Anne of the Island (#3 in Anne of Green Gables series) by L.M. Montgomery

This is the sign my son created while his sister had a friend over today. It is supposed to say "No girls".

She promptly crumpled it up and threw it in the trash. You can imagine what happened next. Sigh.

Substitute teaching again....sort of

So I got to try out substitute teaching again this time at my children's own preschool. Only I was helping with the terrible 2's. Well they weren't that terrible, just exhausting. I was the bonus (3rd) leader to 12 tiny tots and we unfortunately could not leave the room for the four hours we had them. Honestly, they were fun and super cute and I am glad I got to help, but again, man do I have a lot to learn. It is one thing raising one or two tiny tots but having twelve at one time? Of course there were three of us, but K-woman, or "superman", as I should call her, seemed like she had eyes in the back of her head, out her shoulders, and from her knees! The woman knew who was hitting who, who was stealing a toy from who, or why someone was crying at any given moment, not to mention she changed all the tots diapers......twice. Not only that she has a quiet strength about her not to be matched......or messed with. Hats off to you K-woman!!!

I'm in love with...

these:

Tostitos Artisan Recipes Fire-Roasted Chipotle. They are addicting. If you are a chiphead like me, you will not stop. They reel you in with the "9 grain blend" and "100% natural ingredients" but I think they really put crack in there because I. could. not. stop. 

If you are calorie counting I would will yourself past the endcap at Target with these on sale, ahem, unlike me.

After eating a banana chocolate chip muffin given by Mama, early in the afternoon....

Girl: Mama can I have a snack?
Mama: You just had a muffin for a snack.
Girl: That wasn't a snack, that was dessert.

After getting out a wreath to play a game on a snow day, unprompted...

Boy: Mama, God's love is like a wreath. It has no beginning and no end.

Melt a Mama's heart. I don't know where he got that, but I am so glad :-)
