Big shades and bigger hat....
Today is one of those days. One of those days I'm counting my blessings. Living out loud. Being myself. Headed out to a trunk show in super big shades and a big fat hat. I am turning into my mother, moment by moment. After nearly 35 years, heaven knows I've figured out she's not such a bad role model after all (or fashionista either). And to think...I cried when she wore hats to church when I was a kid. So far, Grace is more of a self-expressed fashion gal than her middle of the road, play-it-safe mom. I don't think she'll bat an eye at my get-up today. Fact of the matter is, it's that or we don't leave the house today. The trunk show we're going to is Matilda Jane Clothing. This is the piece Miss Grace will have...her first MJ piece. VERY pricy. Thanks Nonna :) for this early FIFTH birthday present.
Next week, my friend is having another trunk show. I'll have to scrape up some change to pay for these to go with the dress. Hey. She only turns 5 once!
I'm really looking forward to grabbing my new camera and snapping some shots of Grace in her new outfit this fall. I think I'm going to try to do her 5 year pictures to off-set some costs (like redecorating) this fall. Hopefully that will make me get my tail in gear and learn how to put my Nikon to use. I have done nothing but point and shoot so far when the camera is honestly capable of professional quality. I will definitely try to get a couple uploaded for you readers :). I have some ideas in mind for the field behind our house.
This morning, Grace asked if I would fix sausage and gran's biscuits for breakfast. The kids are crazy about those biscuits. I am crazy about the fact that they are so simple (3 ingredients: sr flour, mayonaisse, milk) and the fact that each time I make them, I think of how simple yet respectable gran was. She thought fanfare was for show-offs. Gran was so rich in character. This fact makes me scratch my head at splurging on the dress above. Gran would really disapprove of such frivolous nonsense! I never splurge without thinking of gran's disapproval. EV-ER. I guess when you have lived through the Great Depression, you learn a lot about necessity versus nonsense.
Speaking of gran's biscuits brings us to the topic of food...I'm fixing chicken pot pie tonight or tomorrow. I have to figure out a way to get more vegetables into my boy child. It will be loaded with celery, carrots, squash, and zucchini. Operation Child will be hungry enough to try anything. Underway today. I'm going to try a new recipe since I have misplaced my mom's. I really like allrecipes.com. Any recipe website that shows reader rating gets thumbs-up from me.
As I sit here typing, Noah John is about a foot away from me, looking up at the tv with big, clear blue eyes and a thumb in his mouth. The tv is a treat that Noah particuarly likes. I'm going to post a clip of the Chuggington theme song on another post. It's 2 minutes long :) if you want to watch and learn, chuggers! (It's his favorite!) He is such a precious kid. I completely and totally adore his personality. He is a clown, loves to laugh big loud laughs, loves to make others laugh by making faces, & loves to dance with his big sister. He knows some colors and can say part of the alphabet (he smiles, cuts his eyes at us, and stops for applause after maybe 10 letters). He runs and jumps all the time, except when he is sleeping. He is an accident waiting to happen, which I've said here many times before. I relish all prayers that he will be safe and unharmed. He goes 90 to nothing, climbs everything, and falls and bumps his head a lot. His favorite foods are bananas, tomatoes, peaches, pretzels, and any manner of junk food he can get his hands on...sigh. BUT alas! I am the vegetable-hider-extraordinaire! Soon (hopefully) he will be eating more veggies. Plus he's a farmer's kid...how can he not?
Few people know that Shawn and I have contemplated moving to town for about 2 years. I have been hesitant to the whole time...& I think I have convinced him that we don't need to move right now. Frankly, Shawn is tired of driving to town and he would upsize to a little bigger house on less ground, while I like being close and cozy and away from the hub of town. In my opinion, we need to redecorate and reorganize (and do some minor remodeling). I'm kind of fascinated by the challenge! The upside is we built the house 8 years ago so it only needs some simple updating (unfortunately simple does not mean cheap). We certainly need to add some closet organizers to make the best use of space too. I guess what I mean is things are structurally great, but I'm ready to get some new paint on the walls, move things around, add some new furniture, and maybe even a fireplace like this for those winter nights I love....
Can you believe this little fireplace is on sale for less than $250?
The downside is I will have to get a part-time job to help fund this. The theme is "Victorian Old South meets small house with smaller budget" so we'll see. Don't you think this bedding we just bought at K-Mart I might add, fits the theme!? I do! And it definitely met our small budget at $99.
(Sorry the bed wasn't made...I'm not sure where I left my brain that morning)....I've always been a Scarlet O'Hara at heart and I think this bedding looks like something she might fall down on and throw a good ole fit! Of course now, I would just never, ever do such a thing.
Back to paying for all this redecorating...I'm looking at a job opportunity that would require me to work 20 hours a week. Sometimes more. I should be working by September 1st. I need prayer about going back to work and putting Noah John in school 2 days versus the 1 I had planned on originally (before we decided to redecorate). Grace will be there anyway. I know for sure it would be harder on me than him. He is a social, friendly kid. Here's a pic of the friendly brother and his big sister...just for you Nonna! Woody and Buzz all washed and clean!
On another note, I definitely cannot end this post without asking for prayer for some friends of mine who have just receieved very discouraging news. The Merimees have 3 little girls and are a great, fun, most importantly Christian, couple. They are giving Craig's health situation to God, knowing that He can keep them stable even when test results are not stable. Please pray for Craig, Michelle, and the kids right now. God has heard and delivered them and can again. My praise for this post is my new little cousin-nephew Jack was born and after a few bumps in the road is doing remarkably. Yay Chelsea and Dan and a big hug from me!

KY LAKE TRIP
Shawn and I were able to get away overnight yesterday. We went to the annual "FarmHouse Lake Break" on Kentucky Lake. I have to say, I am VERY partial to Kentucky Lake. It's actually my favorite lake in Kentucky. I enjoy seeing the sailboats (we only saw 1 this time and it was being taken in), I like the calmer water, I like that it's more shallow, and I like the fact that houses can be built almost right on the water. We had a fun time, stayed up late, ate too much, swam a little, laughed a whole lot, slept in late, had a big breakfast prepared for us this morning...it was definitely a little vacation for this stay @home mom. I savored my food and felt almost spoiled. I didn't take my camera because I didn't want anything that I had to keep up with whatsoever. Sometimes I opt for memories vs pictures...I find I have missed being involved by trying to catch stuff on camera the last couple years. Thankfully, I snagged these pictures from the internet.
I wish I had pictures of the cabin we stayed in. It's a new cabin and so cute. Very good use of space. Well decorated. Homey and comfy. Waterfront...that is the best part. The front is all glass and looks out on the water. We were in a cove just like this one today after breakfast.
I haven't tried sailing yet, but hope to...Grand Rivers is my favorite spot to see sailboats at dock. So peaceful...and it reminds me of the Carolinas.
On another note, the kids have been so out-of-whack lately. I have decided for the next 7 days, I will be doing nothing after 1pm in the day (except Wednesday). From 1pm on, the kids will nap, play, have dinner, do bedtime routine, and go to bed. It's gotten too crazy 'round here and I can't let it go on. I wish I could explain how absolutely wild my children can be when they are out of whack. (Some of you have witnessed it firsthand). They are strong-willed and when they get out of whack, their will goes from just being independent to being unbearable. I rarely see Shawn lose it with the kids...maybe 1 time in the almost 5 years we've been parents...well he almost lost it tonight with Grace. It just seems one or the other is crying all the time and when not crying, they fight over toys. I don't know what the deal is for sure. All I know to do is back up and slow down. We know G has a uti. We know NJ has molars that have punctured the skin and growing in. I have to take big, deep breaths, and, like I said, back up and slow down things in our life. Starting tomorrow. No Amish Country visit for us with a couple other moms and kids! Must go text them now. Good luck finding the balance you're striving for, too. It seems easier for some than others. We have to work at it regularly. The way I look at it...at least we recognize when we're out of whack and try to get back in sync. Here's to trying!!! I'll try to update in a week with the outcome...will the kids be back to acting like normal, good-natured children or will they still be acting like heathens? To be continued and I promise an honest answer will be given.
This picture reminds me of Grace and Noah, who are finally, after almost 2 hours of resisting, snug in their beds.

Prayerlessness
Basically...and this is for me!!! Don't do it. Don't be prayerless. Pray without ceasing. I have been at a standstill. I have been in 2 bible studies the last couple months (one is still going). "Breaking Free" by Beth Moore and "BRAVE" by Angela Thomas. I've learned a lot from both of them but the truth is, I could have learned more...if there were enough hours in the day or if I always used my time wisely!!! There was a day when all my study time at home was used the right way and I wasn't behind on stuff. Haha. So, behind I am, but still I have learned how important it is to pray without ceasing and MORE important for me during this phase is...we don't even have to know what to say because God knows our need!!! And my Sunday school lessons are about prayer right now. I love it when God reinforces what I must need to learn! No coincidence could do that, or happenstance! I've just been hearing too much of the same "theme" about praying lately. And I am only beginning to learn it. It's like looking over a big beautiful, lush valley...I want to go deeper into it!
My 10 yr old niece is here visiting. She has been coming to stay with us every summer since before we had Grace. We all really enjoy having her here. This visit has been the first that she and Grace have played together on basically the same level. They have played Barbies and baby dolls. This morning, we went swimming, to Subway, then to the library. Yesterday evening we went bike riding. I am so thankful for my sweet niece and how close we are. She is growing into a great pre-teen. It's happened so, so fast.
Our inside joke...true story. Yesterday after we all went to Kroger, we went through the drive-through pharmacy. We have been eating so unhealthy this summer that Noah John asked me to hand him a french fry when we pulled up!!! For some reason, Callie and I got a kick out of it and have re-told it about five times!!!
I'm feeling so "behind" on little projects (putting kids' pics in frames, catching up the photo albums, scrapbooking newspaper articles about the family farm, etc)...in this stay-at-home mom world I feel like an utter failure at times! UGH. I see these gorgeous scrapbooks etc and I don't even know where to start. I have to remind myself not to compare to others. Back to paragraph 1...need to pray about this!

June
Summer's in full swing. We have attended vbs, had playdates, gotten a new puppy, been in Monticello for a week, gone to a car museum (to get pumped up for the CARS 2 movie), had family here for several days, started Grace in swim lessons, and more. Mom and I even went to an Emmy Lou concert! We have been blessed beyond words. Sure there have been traveling woes...we packed 5 people into my mom's altima and traveled a 3 hour trip in 6. There have been nights that sleep was interrupted a lot (I won't show you the picture of me to prove it). There have been time-outs (and times I should have been the one there). But woven all throughout it, there have been family and friends with hugging arms, delicious homecooked meals, and big yards for running, romping, wagon-pulling, chasing, and rolling. It has been great! Now we are getting ready to settle down just the 4 of us and enjoy our 4th of July together. Plans tba but I'm thinking a museum or the zoo will be involved!
Grace, her best friend, and her bf's miracle-sister! :) Another reminder of how we should count our blessings!
Closing ceremony at VBS...Go Grace!
I stole away with the boys, their wagon, and my camera.
Girls just wanna have fun!
Praying for the requests this summer that have come our way. We have a close friend who was in a horrible accident and lost half of her ankle and some of her leg bone. She is an inspiration to many, including me. Hopefully she will come home after 2 wks of hospitalization this weekend, and she needs prayers for healing so as to avoid another major surgery. She is also expecting and in her first trimester! We see the miracle in her life and her daughter and husband's lives as they were barely hurt! As for us, just today, we have seen evidence of God answering prayers in our little family and providing for us despite my doubts!!!
I hope all of you enjoy the remainer of June and have a happy independence day. And remember, while it is cliche, it is also true: freedom and protection have never been free. We have so many niceties simply because we live in America. As the years have ticked by (long days but somehow SUPER short years), money has gotten tighter while our "stuff" has gotten older and worn out. The furniture is stained, scuffed, scratched, and while I long for new stuff, I wonder...am I spoiled? I know the answer to that, and the answer is shameful. I hope I can teach my children to be ever-mindful of these things because it is easy to forget and take it for granted. I can't help but think of all the places in this world where freedoms and liberties are nonexistent, not to even start with lack of healthcare, child support systems, clean water, variety of food (if any), sanitation. A friend once said "Lord, break my heart for what breaks yours." I guess when it comes down to it, what breaks mine isn't that some people don't have what they want; it's that some people don't have what they NEED. I WANT new furniture. All I need ... that I have. I'm humbled.
I'll close with saying thank you for servicemen and women before and during our lives, including our grandfathers Jack and Bill who served in the US Army and US Navy respectively. We will be waving our flags this Monday with thoughts of them in our minds and thanksgiving in our hearts for sure.

Redecorating
Noah peed in the floor today...just.like.a.puppy. He is into taking off his diaper...the pro is this is early potty training. The con is...read sentence 1 again. That was about 8 hours ago and I have yet to clean it. It's dried now...I'll have to use my sniffer to find it. (Eyes rolling)
The kids wanted "peanut butter spoons" and I was too lazy to make them stay in the kitchen (or ANYWHERE in one place). So there is peanut butter on the floor and I am afraid to check where else! Seriously. In Grace's hair for one. Blah! Now I'll have to bathe her for sure.
Laundry is stacked in the recliner. Just towels. They will be fast and easy to fold. Oh ... I now remember that there is a load big enough to count for 3 in my dryer (said load almost threw my washer out of whack due to the size!) Is it bad that I hope it isn't completely dry yet, just so I can turn the dryer back on and not have to fold it yet?
The counters are so dirty, you can't rest your arms on them or you might get stuck (ok, this is where I'm exaggerating but they ARE dirty and it bugs me to look at them).
The kids have watched Strawberry Shortcake (or Strawberry Cupcake according to Noah John) twice today. The TV is still on despite the fact that I know their brains are rotting away. They had many giant marshmallows for lunch, along with some other random stuff, like spinach artichoke dip, goldfish, cheese... (So did I).
We made it to a friend's to swim today. She has a large 5 bedroom home. It's massive and stately. The pool was cool and refreshing. I went inside. It was spotless. I can't keep mine clean and it's half that size. And I have half as many kids. No joke.
So I have come to the decision that I am just going to say I'm redecorating...the mess is a work of ART. So there. I'm always trying to expose the kids to art in some form or fashion. There ya go. I just told them the mess is an expressionist art form. I feel better already except for the fact that Grace wants a clear definition of expressionist and I will now have to tell her I'm lazy (thus the icky mess), not smart....

A few MORE summer favorites....
Itty bitty tomatoes make me think of summer dinners with a BLT as the main dish!!!
Our magnolia tree has had a rough way to go...it is trying to come out of it as is shown here. Nothing says southern like a magnolia tree.
Blue skies and green grass...and across the road "amber waves of grain."
