Halloween 2008
I have to admit, I hate Halloween. All the "ghost n goblins" dead-comes-alive, icky gory stuff is not my thing. However, I do like dressing up. Since I'm too old for trick-or-treating, I love the excitement my kids get when they get to dress up. They like to pretend to be some kind of hero with super human powers to "fight the bad guy" ,and then get rewarded with candy from door to door. I love it when the boys pretend to be "super hero's" from the bible like Daniel or David. I pray that mine and James's influence will impact the kids to keep their eyes on Jesus to become real live super hero's...something this world is desperate for. ....James's favorite part of Halloween, can you guess? It's raiding the cookie jar full of candy.

They Grow So Fast
I pulled out Alli's baby book the other day to catch up on all her developmental accomplishments she has had these past few months. I am really having a hard time remembering when most things accrued. She is growing so fast and becoming so smart, I can't keep up.
She can grab her bib off of the back of her high chair, run to the dish washer to grab her favorite eating utensil, and then climb up into her high chair all in less then 30 seconds when you tell her "Alli, it's time to eat" It's amazing! ...that's just one of her amazing skills that tells you just how fast she's growing.
Most of you already know that the boys, Weston and Timmy have been here for two full weeks now, and we are really hoping and praying that it becomes something permanent. Talk about growing fast, I remember changing Timmy's diapers and reminding Wes to not wipe his mouth on his shirt when he eats. Now these boys help me set and clear the table, do dishes, laundry, and put clothes away. We bring our handful of penny's to the table to help Wes with his math and review word flashcards throughout the day. I really think Timmy will be ahead of the game due to his eagerness to join in on the learning experience.
I love being a mom. My kids are so precious, I count my blessings as being one that gets to experience their love as only a child could give, pure and innocent. Singing songs, and praying with them at night has got to be my favorite part of the day. Their is nothing more sweet then to hear my 4 year old sing...
"Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus, then to trust and obey"
