Happenings

Well, this week has been weird. Part of the time, I've been bored others have been busy. Started the week by trying to rid my kitchen of ants. I had to throw a whole box of cereal away because of ants. I was not happy! So, I took everything out of the pantry, shelves and all, washed everything down with bleach, painted and put everything back. Guess what! No ants! Yeah, now I'm happy! Wednesday was spent trying to recover from my painting venture. Thursday, I learned how to give a yard a grass transplant. Interesting, and I learned what exercises I need to do to shed some pounds after this little one is born! Last night we were able to have a family night, it is the first one we have had in quite a while. It was so much fun! On the way home, I ended up slap happy. I think that was the first time I've been slap happy in years. It felt sooo good just to laugh uncontrollably! The kids asked their dad, what is wrong with mommy? I must not laugh enough for them! Today, we went to the kids exchange down in Raleigh. It is a HUGE consignment sale of kids stuff. They had everything you could possibly want or need for kids all ages. I got Tabitha a couple little dresses and gowns. I had forgotten how fun it is to dress a baby girl. Even Jonathan got in on picking out stuff. I did notice that Seth didn't pick anything out. (He has always hated the color pink!) It was crazy, we waited in line to get in, then waited for over an hour to check out! The whole day, Tabitha was very still and quiet, and since we have been home she hasn't quit moving. Not even for five minutes. She has had the hickups at least twice. What am I going to do with her after she is born?? Jonathan's dvd's are on the way for school and Leah and Caleb's books have also been shipped. I'm hoping to start the week of the 4th. Hopefully, I'll be ready by then! Oh, and I now have friends on facebook. I have no idea how to work the thing or how I'll have time to keep up with it, but it has been nice to reconnect with all the different "kids" we have worked with in different ministries. They have all grown up so much, it is amazing how much time has passed. Well, I must run, I sent the kids to bed, but I doubt very seriously they have actually made their way there. Oh, and a praise, Bryan got our lawn mower ready. I guess we won't need that goat after all!
