I'm glad you enjoyed that entry. This blog is certainly a bit random, but I have fun with it anyhow. I have tons of pictures of these kiddos, and a photobook with quotes would be perfect. :-D Well thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed that entry.

The next morning I was so exhausted, when the kids woke up I just pointed to the bag of twizzlers I'd been using to keep myself awake and told the kids to have at it. That night in his prayers, Ethan said, "And please bless Mom, that she won't feed us candy for breakfast anymore..." hehe, then I will have to include the story about when I was having company over for dinner and spent all night the evening before trying to make the house sparkle.

This quotes are great - it's first blog entry I've read here and I'm charmed! :) (eventhough I wasn't looking for content of this kind). You must have great children and be a great parent! Keep doing that. And finally - yes, keep in mind idea of book with quotes. My advice is to try to take some photos which will be somehow connected with quotes or situations when these quotes were told. Then you will be able to make some great photobooks - with this photos and quotes on them. In my country such gifts are popular for 18th birthday :) Hey Velda!

I like the idea of a book to hand them when they are older. I also like the idea of a book to reference when they are older... what were my thoughts on candy when I was four... etc ;) Velda, no kidding you should collect them at least as a web page that loads them randomly.

But that's OK. You still do a pretty great job, and it's not like you just decided you'd rather work than be with us." I'm currently listening to Mary on her middle-of-the-night bathroom break. She's listing the things she thinks I could do as a stay-at-home-mom, like helping more with homework. "That's the number one thing I'd ask for. But you do help me do my work in creative ways!" I wish I could spend more time being a mom too... being a single parent is rough, and even when I wasn't going it alone, I only had a few months where I didn't have to work full time. But it's taught us to solve our problems creatively. “I really wish you were a stay-at-home mom. But that’s OK.

We were driving to Sierra Vista just before her sixth birthday and happened across a spectacular stormy sunset. From the back seat we heard Mary sigh dramatically: "After all these years of darkness, the silver lining has finally appeared!" Oh, another Maryism my family always reminds me of.

“I think I’ve got the Deaf.”
