....just made me truly laugh- we're in the playroom, and hannah decideds she wants 2 love on buggy- so she comes up 2 him and gives him a great-big huggie...he continues 2 play without even looking up and says "hannah has sharp claws"...i was cracking up!! cuz he meant it, without missing a beat with his' tato-head...it was so funny!!

...so the other morning when i was having my devotions, this scripture so stood out 2 me!! probably God's way of speaking 2 me about me i guess=) anywayz...just felt 2 share:

EPHESIANS 4:2- ALWAYS BE HUMBLE AND GENTLE- BE PATIENT WITH EACH OTHER, MAKING ALLOWANCES 4 EACH OTHER'S FAULTS BECAUSE OF U'RE LOVE-

its amazing how such a simple scripture can have so much meaning behind it- especially 2 the one who needs 2 hear it!! being humble and gentle- patient- giving people room 2 be "imperfect" and getting over it when they're not- knowing that I let people down and fail in different areas on a regular basis, and at the same time, in knowing that, giving God room 2 work and change me- completely desiring that change!! its like this- who am i not 2 forgive and make "allowances", when God Himself...savior and creator of this entire world...is alwayz ready and willing 2 forgive me- He makes "allowances" 4 me like a thousand times a day, seriously!! my heart is a lot of what this verse says- it speaks volumes 2 me, becuz its where i'm at rite now...xoxo

these r my heart!!

MONDAYS r usually happy days- shawn is home until 3:oo, so we get the morning and afternoon with daddy!! we do whatever...errands, shop at targe (my fav), play together...next we have TUESDAY- tuesdays can be rough around here=) well, at least 8 weeks of tuesday- i signed matthew up 4 story-time at 10:30, tuesday is also my grociery day- so...wonder-woman me sets high goals 4 the day- i get up early, pik up the house, have my devotions, TRY 2 shower, get the kids ready and fed, go not only 2 the grociery store, but also the fruit market- come home in a mad rush, bellowing 2 shawn about all i hafta do, why can't he just help me...ect...constant gripe pretty much (i'm truly working on this, ask God!!) grociery's get put away, hannah gets put down 4 a nap...and out we go, 2 story-time- 45 minutes of stories and songs, then a craft, find books, and finially..HOME!! so, thats r crazy mornings!! =) r u frightened?? lol- nites r fun- we usually go somewhere, or hang out with fam or friends- "movie" nites r typical and i love them!! kay...here goes WEDNESDAY, a little calmer mode=) i usually make any salads i'm making 4 the week, prep veggies and fruit...clean the fish tank...hang out with the kids lots...and daddy comes home at 7:30- now...the rest of the week gets a little tougher!! THURSDAYS r much dreaded "cleaning" days- i rucus 2 get it all done by 2:30, so that once the kids wake up from their' nap, they have my undivided attention- nites i either have a friend over, or keep matthew up so we can have r own "movie" nite, which i love=) FRIDAYS...wheres daddy???? i'm starting 2 get a little edgy, feeling the need 4 a break=) so, we almost alwayz get OUT of this house!! anywhere, anything...nites r usually at my in-laws 4 dinner and adult time 4 me, play time 4 the kids=) SATURDAYS...seriously...WHERE IS DADDY WHEN I NEED HIM?? shawn truly gets a gajillion phone calls th-sat=) poor guy=( anywayz...saturdays again, we like 2 get out- we visit the mart...and do whatever- i soooo look forward 2 SUNDAY!!...church, which is MUCH NEEDED by the end of the week...and WE FIND DADDY!! yeahhhh, its FAMILY DAY!! xoxo
