Newest development in the Garden

 A watermelon and sunflowers that are at least eight feet tall and one is 12 inches in diameter. 

MONSTER TRUCK!

Sam came up to me today and told me this was his MONSTER TRUCK!  When he say monster truck it's always in a growling voice. I love having a boy!

Labs again!

Sam has Petechia on his stomach, chest and up into one arm pit. He had this once before, we did lab work and everything was was fine. I took him to the  the doctor for it today and the doctor said most people don't ever get Petechia and for him to get it twice in six months is not normal. So we had to get lab work done again. The last time we had this done it was it was a total joke. I just didn't want to deal with my two kiddos at the lab again and have Abby freak out more than Sam and have to kids out of control. I wanted to go to Primary Children's where they know how to deal with children. It all worked out. I called Stu and asked if he could watch Abby for a few minutes while I had this done if I brought them the primary's.   He said yes so we headed up. He was done with clinic and was at Primary's to see if there was anything he could do there.  This time around was so much better. I got a front row spot, Stu was there to help me with the kids. He played with the kids while I got Sam all registered (which last time was a joke) then I stayed with Abby, Stu took Sam back and was done in three minutes. They got him in one stick and all Sam said was, "hurt." Then they gave him a little wood truck, so he was pretty happy. Then Stu was able to just come home with us. So glad it all work out!

Gardening fun!

This is my first year planting a garden and it been so fun!  I think I've done a pretty good job so far as a gardener. Especially because I just put dirt in garden boxes, planted seeds and plants and just hoped they would grow.  Well so far I've gotten lots of leaf lettuce, two summer squashes, six zucchini,  four pumpkins are growing, seven green beans with more on the way, one carrot with three more on the way, one strawberry but something ate it before I could lots of flowers on my watermelon plant but no melons, lots of flowers on my tomato plant but no tomatoes yet. Then I have my three mammoth sunflowers that are so big and beautiful. It's been so fun. I can't wait until I can do it again next year. Who would have thought! 

Check out my one gigantic green bean!

Party in the Bathroom!

I am off to get ready for bed and I found this. I think someone had a party in the bathroom and forgot to invite me!

Stop screaming mommy!

Tonight the kids were eating and Sam had eaten about a fourth of his food and got off his stool and said, "I done!"  I raised my voice a bit and told him he was not done and to get back up in his chair and eat more of his food. He looked me in the eye and said, "Stop screaming mommy!" I lowered my tone and said, "Ok, Sam you need to get back up here and finish your dinner." He said, "Ok mommy!" And hopped back up and continued to eat. I just couldn't believe it when he looked and me and said, "Stop screaming mommy!"  At least someone's keeping me in line. 

Little things...

I went in to Abby's room to check on her tonight before bed like I do every night. She was sleeping peacefully and had put her little stuffed horsy next to her laying on a pillow too. I just thought it was so precious!  I love little ones. 

Funny Abby

Today the kids where being silly and Stu said, "You two are funny kids!" And Abby said, "That's why we are friends with you guys!"

Go, Go!

This little boy in our breakfast prayer blessed that we would go, go today. Guess he wants to get out of the house.
