Random Funnies

Thankfully today I am not having a whatever kind of day, because frankly my hormones cannot handle another one of those again for a while:) I just had to share some precious and funny things that have happened recently:)

Well, here it is-Little Princess' coming home outfit!! Kyle under Mike's leadership scoured Pigeon Forge and came up with this. It is so precious that it brings tears to my eyes even though I would have definitely picked out something way different:) It is simply a precious onesie that says Little Lady and of course he splurged for the matching hat:) He grinned from ear to ear while we waited in line at Carter's to pay for it. Kyle also picked out the blanket to match and it says Welcome Home on it. This nameless baby is so dear to us all already:)


I was talking to my brother on the phone just today about my Dad's birthday. I told him that I had already bought him two shirts from Under Armour and I have already given it to him. (remember that was the sale that was big enough to make me forsake my online shopping restriction for lent-that kind of sale!) Anyway, my brother reminded me of the most hilarious thing and I am using my blog as a public forum to personally apologize to my brother. I know it is hard to believe, but friends, I truly did make a grave mistake about 4-5 years ago that I must confess about.

You see, about 4 or 5 years ago, my brother Chad was laying in the floor playing with some boy (mine or his it really doesn't matter) but I noticed that he had on this tight fitting slicky kind of shirt on under a tshirt. I questioned him about what he had on and he tried to explain to me that it was this special kind of shirt that whisk heat away from the body to keep you cool?! I died laughing HYSTERICALLY at my brother and kidded him that he looked like he had on an ice skating costume!!!! Come to find out that my brother was way ahead of times because he was wearing Under Armour back then ahead of the trend, and I accused him of looking like an ice skater. So Chad, I apologize profusely-will you forgive me?

Also, I know I totally just posted about my new favorite song just last week, but let me tell you I am blown away with another song that I just had to share. It is Chris Tomlin's new song, I Will Rise, and frankly it brings me to tears. I watched this Godtube video of him talking about the song and his whole reason for writing it was to provide a song that acknowledges that we will all face hard and difficult times here on Earth. The bible tells us that very bluntly, but we have the hope that God will never leave us in that horrible place-that he will walk with us through the difficult times if we rely on him and that we will rise! I LOVE this song so much and I just had to share this video:) Enjoy!

Whatever

Today is one of those days that I just feel like saying WHATEVER. I know this blog typically shows my sweeter side, but today I just feel a little annoyed. Before you start wondering if something bad has happened to me, just know that I am simply annoyed at trivial things that I have no control over and I just have to vent:) Perhaps my hormonal side is catching up to me today:)

1) I broke down at the grocery store last night and bought high end hairspray because I love the smell. I did not spend $15 on hairspray for the quality of the hairspray, just because it smells darn good. This morning I was so excited to use my hairspray and guess what-the top was broken and it did not spray and it ran down my arm-WHATEVER!

2) This morning at preschool I opened my soda and it spewed all over me to the point it soaked through my shirt and made my bra stick to me-WHATEVER!

3) I love that my blog has readers from all over and I truly feel blessed that people react positively to what I say in my blog, but I had a comment this morning that perhaps it was not wise to skip the AFP blood test with my "history" and maybe I should reconsider. The great thing is that I simply did not publish that comment and chose to say WHATEVER!

4) The sun is shining and it is beautiful looking here today, but the temperature is only in the 40's-WHATEVER!

5) Kyle sneezed a million times this morning which means that perhaps his asthma could kick in again despite vigilantly taking his Advair-WHATEVER!

Okay, that just about does it. Thank for letting me vent about things that I have no control over. Thankfully I have a great husband, precious children, and great friends that are okay with my venting every once in a while. Please feel free to vent on this cold Monday as well. I would love to hear if you are having a whatever day also:)

Weekend of fun

We are on the road this weekend in Pigeon Forge. We are staying at the Wilderness at the Smokies which is an awesome indoor/outdoor waterpark place. The boys have had a ball and David is sleeping soundly as I write this and Mike and Kyle are snuggling and watching sports.

We have another day of swimming tomorrow and then we must head back to the real world:) Tonight we ventured out for some dinner and during dinner Kyle announced that his Mom was half woman and half cow because she can make her own milk for the baby! We then were forced to have a spontaneous discussion on breast feeding right there at the dinner table. It is definitely an interesting challenge to go through pregnancy and prepare for having a newborn in the house with a big, curious seven year old!!

On a fun note, Kyle finally chose the special outfit to bring little Princess home from the hospital in. My Mom tried so hard to persuade him towards the frilly dresses, but Kyle wanted nothing to do with it! We gave him total control of the situation and what he came up with is precious...I will post a picture when we get home:)
