November 6


Impromptu underwear bandits, but only Toby agreed to a picture. Clayton ran away yelling, "Toby, don't let her take your picture! She's gonna post it on her blog!! EVERYONE WILL SEE YOU!!!!" I think he has largely underestimated the scale of my popularity. Everyone is a tad excessive. 

Operation Christmas Child boxes at church. The kids were SO excited to go and pack their boxes tonight--thanks to everyone who helped and donated!

And questions from Toby tonight, as he laid in bed and "watched" me from his room:

"Do people live in nature? Do people live at college? Are there chipmunks in heaven?"

Ahh, to be three years old. Bless it.




November 2


Today was a nice quiet day at home with my boys & babe. In the 30 Days of Thanksgiving, Day #2 was Thank God for Silence. I do love silence, as I mentioned previously, and I'm thankful that God provided some silence in my day today. We were able to enjoy each other and just hang out. And then they lost their minds and were running & screaming and laughing and fighting. Just another normal day.

And my tattoo didn't look so hot once it healed, so I had to get it touched up {read COMPLETELY REDONE, SO HELP ME GOD!} I do it right cause I do it twice. Ugh.




October 30


Holy moly I'm tired... I stayed up way too late last night {read, 1 a.m.}, and I'm just dragging today. I can no longer handle the late nights like I did in my youth. I'm old.

Now I'm carb loading and going to sleep. :)

I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it's not about what it is. It's about what it can become. That's not "just a seed" any more then you're "just a boy."

Forgot to photograph the first part of my day {it really did happen even though it doesn't appear here. I know that's hard to imagine.}, but here's the rest of it.
