Santa's Naughty List

These 2 little boys might find themselves getting a lump of coal in their stockings on Christmas Day or maybe they will find a used up container of lipstick and mascara. I came into the living room today and found that the boys had found my brand new, never been opened, Mary Kay mascara and lipstick. I had ordered them from a friend and just received them in the mail. Both are a complete loss. I am so glad that I could fund their "creativity". I wish that I could say that they only put makeup on their faces. Let's just say that I found out that it is easier getting mascara out of the carpet and furniture than it is to get lipstick out. In case you're wondering: the house IS safe from 2 little boys while I type up this post because they are sitting HERE.

Joy to Everyone

Last night for Activity Days we let the girls watch, "The Nativity Story" and eat pizza and popcorn. The leaders beforehand bore their testimonies about the Christmas season and our thoughts and feelings about Jesus Christ. The feeling in the room was awesome last night. It was so great to hear the girls all tell what they were feeling after they saw the movie. I have been thinking about that feeling and the movie all day. I was so excited when I came across this website today. It made me happy. I get so caught up in everything that needs to get done for Christmas that sometimes I forget the true meaning of the holiday. The video and music are beautiful. Take a moment and have a listen; it will make your day even better. Enjoy! Click on Joy to Everyone to get there!

Name Calling




I love that the boys have started calling Jared and I "MOD". They must have figured out that if they meshed the words mom and dad together they would always get it right. It wouldn't matter who they were talking to. The funny part of the story is that they get so upset when someone calls them by the wrong name. Hmmmmmmm.....
