I may step on some toes, but people that pop up at the end of the year like, "I"m an avider reader, I read 100 books this year" I stand in awe of my avid reader friend/stranger on the internet but the awe slightly tanks when I find out that 54 of those books were audio books that were listened to. Do you read a sermon on Sunday? Do you read a song in the car? I say this with a smile on my face but also, let's aim to assign the correct numbers to the correct categories this year and be up front from the beginning. Here's an example largely inspired by my recent three years of Saxon Math. </p><p><b>This year John read 54 books. He also listened to 46 audio books. Today John is wearing a red shirt. How many works of literature did he enjoy altogether? </b></p><p>And with that short Ted Talk, boom baby, we're back!

<br />
1. Jeans. And they're magic:: They fit like they're supposed to, stay up and stretch/shrink as needed through the years. Think Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.<br />
<br />
2. Thick cut bacon sizzling on the stove, that someone else is cooking, every morning in 2020<br />
<br />
3. For Kent to organize the kitchen rubbermaid containers and lids (again)<br />
<br />
4. A single day where none of my children ask for a piece of gum<br />
<br />
5. A single day where I can eat a piece of gum without my children asking for a piece<br />
<br />
6. For our library to announce they're doing away with late fees<br />
<br />
7. My garage door to close on it's own 100% of the time<br />
<br />
8. Markers and marker caps that mate for life in my house and are never separated by time or space<br />
<br />
9. The ability to snap my fingers and tidy my house a la Mary Poppins<br />
<br />
10. World PeaceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337111039284821377.post-50052767927378525372019-12-15T04:29:00.000-08:002019-12-15T04:30:55.871-08:00Currently <div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'helvetica neue'; line-height: normal;">

<br />
We are in the full Christmas swing over here which looks like a partially decorated Christmas tree, artificial wreaths lying on the floor (Possibly until December 25th?), Caris singing "Haste! Haste! To bring him laud" from all corners of the house. Then there's the 12 Days of Christmas book she found and has used to carol to different family members in different rooms of the house. Audrey saying, "Merry Christmas" ranks high up on the cutest things we've ever heard and today, during rest time, Liza jumped down the stairs yelling, "C'MON SAINT NICHOLAS!" while holding a sword and shield.<br />
<br />
Kent has been gentle and diligent to lead us in a daily advent reading (As opposed to me who would go all Chris Farley on them, "AW'RIGHT everybody sit down for advent reading or you're gonna be LIVIN' IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER) Could this be the first year that we read <strike>most</strike> every day of advent? I hesitate to say that out loud even though I promise I'm <strike>a little</strike> not superstitious <i>winky face</i>. I have been pondering the idea of Emmanuel, God with us--as a baby in the manger, now by the Holy Spirit, and coming again as a conquering King. However, I am also the person trying to listen to Frank Sinatra's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas while my two year old yells in my ear demanding to eat her advent chocolate while I holler back with "STOPPP YELLINGGGGG You have to eat LUNCH.FIRST.LUNCH.FIRSTTTT" so take that homily with a grain of salt. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A kind couple from a sister church gifted us with a tree outing to a nearby Tree Farm. First time ever for all of us! The man was super nice and it was all just set up in backyard. The girls enjoyed running through the rows of trees and we came home with a real 'buet. It's partially decorated only because we ran out of ornaments! Our trees of Christmas past were much smaller. </div>

We had nine fun years with our puppy, Patch, before he died earlier this month. We packed a lot of life into those nine years and he took it all in stride. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He loved snuggling, sniffing too far in people's bottoms, treats, playing fetch, when Kent got home from work, always being near us, licking peanut butter jars, waiting by the highchair for dropped food and/or hand outs, Gigi, lying on the steps, lying on dirty sorted laundry piles, barking at the pool guy while living in Florida, eating tissues, etc. out of the trash can, riding in the car, taking walks and swimming in the lake. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

If you saw me, you may have thought I was leaning over and praying "God our father, God our father" in a sing song voice, but I was really praying a sincere but semi guilt ridden prayer that went something like, "Dear God, thank you for a daddy that works so we can split two chick fil a sandwiches instead of eating PBJs on stale bread at home. And for a mommy that remembers to pack costumes so we can change in the van and enjoy ice cream. Please give us soft and thankful hearts to enjoy these things" I managed to let them play in the play place instead of toting them all back to the van while chanting, "Chick fil A didn't even cross my lips until <i>at least</i> 8th grade and we drove there in a wood paneled station wagon. Beat that, babes" PARENTING IS SANCTIFYING.<br />

Our church was involved the town's Main Street event so I flew solo until we left for that. We had extended rest time, watched a huge thunder storm roll in and out and hoped that the event wouldn't be canceled. We recovered with help from TV, popcorn, make up and fake hair.

1. The birthday girl (tomorrow) pictured above<br />
<br />
2. Audrey didn't cry when I dropped her off or picked her up from class today<br />
<br />
3. Caris' odd class presentation, "This is my one legged barbie. And I named her Gertie. And we got her from a yard sale. I like to play with her and make her hop around" (And the parental sanctification that comes from hearing that and refraining from saying, "Pretty sure we didn't get it from a yard sale!!!")<br />
<br />
4. A breeze today<br />
<br />
5. Linen pants that feel suspiciously like pajama pants<br />
<br />
6. New friends<br />
<br />
7. A husband that will cook dinner while I run errands<br />
<br />
8. Sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on a white hamburger bun toasted with a layer of butter. My waistline says no but my heart says yes<br />
<br />
9. Chocolate creme Oreos (Get the heart cath ready)<br />
<br />
10. Clean sheetsUnknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337111039284821377.post-58547934993329005522019-09-02T18:16:00.000-07:002019-09-02T18:16:55.802-07:00Long Live Summer! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
To my Audrey Anna,<br />
<br />
You are TWO! What a smart, funny, sneaky, cute girl you are. We've been drilling you for months, "How old are you going to be??" and by now you have it down pat, "DO!!!"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Out of all the "babies", you win the coveted awards like, most likely to fall off the bunk bed, most likely to snort a pea/marble/barbie shoe up your nose, most likely to help yourself to milk and processed cheese from the fridge (only the last one has actually happened...so far)<br />
<br />
You make all of us laugh, give great hugs and snuggles and keep us on our toes. We're excited to jump into the next year with you and all of the learning that it holds. Potty training, learning to obey, playing, YAY!<br />
<br />
I love you AudiAnna! So glad you're part of our family<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy</div>

<br />
Artwork and pictures would pick a perfect place and hang themselves so there would be no need for decision making and no nagging of the husband to hang them<br />
<br />
Chick fil A would accept Monopoly money<br />
<br />
Painted fingernails would survive more than one dishwashing session before chipping off<br />
<br />
Things like peanut butter, pound cake and chocolate would settle in your heart and not on your hips<br />
<br />
I could consume copious amounts of coffee, both hot and iced, well into the afternoon without it keeping me awake until the wee hours of the morning wherein I Google search homeschooling methods (again), find five new recipes that I'll never cook and delete <strike>all</strike> a handful of duplicate pictures that I've taken<br />

Every time Kent watches the hot and ready donuts, he longs to try an unglazed discarded one that sits to the side of the conveyer belt. He's never asked, but surely Krispy Kreme can make this happen. </div>

The sole's of Kent's Chacos melted last summer when he left them on the dock. He recently got around to mailing them in and the company put new soles on them free of charge. We only had to pay $11 for shipping. I WAS AND AM SO PROUD. I think there's a sermon illustration here too... a new sole at the expensive of someone else?? YES'UH!AMEN!<br />

I stumbled upon this book for sale at the library (50 cents) It's a lady I follow on Instagram that likes to thrift (hence the rad collection of coffee cups), walks her kids to school and has a jail chaplain husband. I haven't read it yet, but I have an ordinary life located in an ordinary place (ASIDE FROM THE BARBECUE) so it might be right up my alley.<br />

Kent was invited for his yearly game of friendly football and an hour before he left, he snagged some cleats for $15. I wasn't sure I could be prouder after the Chaco exchange but he continued to surprise me with his thriftiness. <span style="font-size: x-small;">He also receives husband points for being willing to pose for pictures holding shoes</span><br />

Breakfast too?! You 'betcha! We dined with my dear friend and middle school social influencer, Stephanie, her three girls and our moms I mean, IS THIS REAL LIFE? Sadly it was before 10 AM so I was only partially awake. Nonetheless, good times were had by all and we'd like to issue a joint public thank you to the Grandmas for sitting with and feeding our youngest calves, taking away 1/3 of our responsibilities for a glorious 10 minutes. THANKS!<br />

The free fun never ends!! Our area got 7-11's just in time for 7/11 and free Slurpees! I was surprised to find that our local one might be more sketchy than the ones up north or in Florida, but free is free so we went with it. I think, with that, we're all caught up on our Frugal Finds!<br />

Never am I more convinced of spiritual warfare than on Sunday morning between the hours of 8 and 10 AM. And I'm writing this on a Sunday where the morning went relatively smoothly- I was ready extra early and the big girls got along well. Regardless of how well the morning goes, there are always a few bumps in the road. I'm thankful to have a fellow pastor's wife nearby that can encourage me with Sunday morning spiritual text messages</div>
