Crazy kid

Well,
The day has come. Malachi is independent beyond independent. He is dressing himself. Yesterday marked the beginning of a new era with this kid. As if he didn't look insane enough, marked by his uncontrollable desire to move about every three seconds, he decided to dress himself. Outfit of the day: Cars pajama shirt, tiki man swimming shorts (what, swimming shorts in FEBRUARY!? What are they even doing in his drawer?! Yes, swimming shorts, we may or may not, potentially go to a hotel with a swimming pool that is indoors this winter) A pair of shark pj shorts on top of the swimming shorts (the swimming shorts served as underwear?) One teal sock and one lime green sock. Interesting. Cute. Very cute! He also decided to start speaking full on sentences, with inflection and tone of understanding. He asks questions with a rise at the end. As well, he pushes me out of the bathroom when he has to go now saying, "NO mommy, get out." Little stinker is smarter than all get out. Right as I type, I am taking advantage of semi-ignoring the fact that he is in Joshua's pack and play while he is supposed to be napping. I'll give them a few minutes to think they've gotten away with something.
I attempted to make a cloth diaper this week. Turned out wonderful...if only it were for a newborn...hmm. Learning from mistakes is always a good thing! I rather like the idea of making some covers for the already adorable prints on the cloth diapers. I thought it would be nasty and pretty crazy to do cloth, but I'm finding it to be rather cute, inexpensive and not so gross afterall.
Halynd turned 7, SEVEN, months old yesterday!! I cannot believe it! She is crawling with her hands and knees now, eating tons of solid food, tries to pull herself up. laughs when you growl at her. I tried giving her some juice and she just made a very funny face! She feels heavier, but we will see at her next appointment (next week).
Please continue to pray for the Metro. We are focusing on sharing Jesus. The most important part of a church family. It seems as time goes by and I've gotten comfortable with the people IN the church, I've lost my focus to help save the lost. Pray for boldness, wisdom and the strength of Jesus as I share my testimony in hopes to shed a light for the lost. I have to keep remembering Jeremiah-he had the fire of Jesus inside of him, burning his inner being. So much so, that he HAD to let it out. I pray I can become more like him.

Gentry Zoo

To celebrate H-bugs first birthday, we went to the Gentry Zoo on Monday! She loved it. Both her and Malachi are big time animal lovers. I'm not sure where they get that from ;) Haly kept her eye on the Emu's the entire drive. She did not like them. There's this look she gives when she's not sure of a situation, and the birds definitely got that look. We named this guy Ted. Doesn't he look like a Ted? We aren't sure what he is, so we named him. The kids and I flipped out when he decided to stick his entire head in our car before we could roll up the window. He drooled on my skirt. The nerve! This Camel also stuck his entire German Shepherd sized head in our window! The best experience by far was the Zebras. Malachi just puckered up and laid a smooch on this guy. When we told him to do it again he informed us that it was "yucky" and then proceeded to scream "IT'S A WOLF"-or an Alpaca...with his head in Donovan's window with the most hil...

A whole year with the little ladybug

Image
I know this is a little late, but we've been a little busy :) July 10th, 2009 at 12:36 a.m. 6 lbs, 12 oz. I cannot believe my little girl is already one! It seems like she's still just a baby, and she is my baby! Going through the parenting with Malachi, I didn't realize how much they really change. It seems like in just a few weeks, she exploded into a new person. *She is 18.4 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. *She has a head full of hair now that can be fashioned into rubber banded pigtails (horns). She will NOT keep bows in. She will eat them. *She is walking all the time and everywhere. *She is climbing on the couch, our bed, up stairs and any chair she can reach. *She has 6 teeth, 2 bottom and 4 on top. *She has kicked the bottle except for night time. Even then, sometimes she's so tired she just rolls over and goes to sleep. She's having a hard time drinking from a sippy cup because of how fast it comes out-she always spits it everywhere. *She eats ever...

Quiet as a church mouse

The idiom “quiet as a church mouse” definitely gives off some negative connotations. First thoughts are-why would a mouse be lurking in a church? The short answer to that is definitely goldfish crackers and warmth. Another is -Eww. Rodents. They’re so...rodent like. My nick name is Meg-a-moo, or Moo for short. This was lovingly assigned to me from origins unknown. No, My cries did not imitate that of a cow when I was a baby-It just seemed like a fitting name. In researching the starting point from hence “quiet as a church mouse”-it is clear that this, much like my nick name, has no definite origin. It is a well known fact, however, that mice are meek. They make little noise on their own and scavenge for food and a place to make their home. In the 16th century, churches did not store food-whereas, here in 2018, the kids literally CANNOT go more than an hour without sustience. Enter Goldfish crackers. Cue mice. I am a Children’s Minister at a church here in Fayetteville. The job desc...
