back on track.......

Several weeks ago I STARTED the process of tearing down wallpaper and things to get ready to re-do our bathrooms{long overdue} and then I got busy with the new baby coming etc. and quit......but today we are back on track{for a while anyway} and hopefully by the weekend our bathrooms will be done! Ahhh....I can't wait.

Here is a new picture of Jaycie I got yesterday....Didn't get any of Kayden...he was busy napping at the time I think.

Miss Jaycie at 10 whole days old!!!!

Oh what a way to start Monday!

This morning Candace called me to tell me what Kayden had done......then Kayden wanted to talk to Grammy and this is kinda how it went.....

Kayden: I onnna talk a Grammy.... Hi Grammy....

Grammy: Hi Kayden.....

Kayden: I pilled Jayie Milk

Grammy: You did....

Kayden: in a foor{floor} bedroom

Grammy: You spilled Jayies milk in the floor? Did you get in trouble?

Kayden: No.....I in trouble and pankin

Grammy: you got a spanking?

Kayden: yah......I in trouble

......and then he was off and going again.......

Too cute right? But what he didn't say because he doesn't know how yet is that he spilled an entire can of Enfamil powder formula on his mommas bedroom floor this morning! Not a good way to start your day.......

Mine started with coffee with my husband.....how about you?

building a house.......

While I was preparing my lesson for class tonight on the wise man and foolish man building their houses I ran across this and thought it was good enough to share with my pre-teens and also everyone else......we sometimes get so busy that we hurry though things{I am talking about myself mostly} and maybe don't always do as good a job as we should or need to.......Enjoy.....

Building a House

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his boss of his plans to leave his job and live a more leisurely life with his wife and family. He would miss the paycheck, but they could get by. The contractor was sorry to see such a worker go, so he asked the carpenter to build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. The house was not up to his usual standards. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work, the contractor came by, but instead of inspecting the house, he handed the carpenter the front door key and said, “This is your house,” he said. “It is my gift to you.” The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we’d do it much differently. But we cannot go back… You are the carpenter of your life. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Your attitudes and the choices you make today build your “house” for tomorrow… It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, build wisely!

{two posts in one day.......woo-hoo......but I really gotta get busy doing something else!}

{Candace and Jaycie getting a little rest}

Candace and Jaycie got to come home from the hospital yesterday......she was ready{I think all Mommies are} Miss Jaycie is not the least bit bothered by her big brothers noises......Kayden was glad to see her when his Daddy brought him home. He wanted to see her piggies so Candace showed them to him. Then he wanted to know where her shoes were and she told him she didn't have any on so he ran back to the bedroom and got one of his spongebob shoes{size 8....lol} and brought it to mommy so she could have shoes to wear{awww...so sweet} but when she told him she couldn't wear shoes that big I took him back to find Jaycie some shoes that would kinda sorta fit her tiny lil feet and he brought them back so mommy could put them on....Then.....he told his mommy to let Jaycie walk!!!!{TOOO FUNNY}

{Kayden enjoyed using the baloons as punching bags}

He really loves his little sister and for that I am thankful......very clingy to mommy right now though which is understandable......

He helped me keep an eye on Jaycie for a little while today{except he was in her bed!}

Papa's hand looks so big compared to her little head............

I tried putting her in a few hats today to get some pictures but a few of them were still way big on her and the cocoon works ok but she is a fiesty lil thing and kept wiggling out of it{maybe have to use that one while she is sleeping.........
