Insta-Friday

It's that time of the week again. Insta-Friday.

I'm linking up with...

Wait, it is friday right?

Thses past two weeks have been a bit twisted.

My little guy was so sick last week. It took almost the entire week for him to get past it.

So the first trip out of the house in 6 days was to, where else, Target.

Not to get anything in particular, just to walk around.

We love our Target! Oh... and all the spring/summer outdoor things are out! I so need to get some furniture for our porch. We love to sit out there while our little guy plays.

My little guy also started to write his own name this week. It is a little hard to read but I can see it.  It may be that I'm the mommy and that's why I can read it. I maybe a little biased, maybe.

In our new house we have HUGE windows in our living room.

Like a wall of windows! So I have been struggling trying to find some kind of treatment for them.

I'm loving the wide horizontal stripes for drapes. However everything I found to buy for the size I needed was way out of my price range. So I made my own for $20, for both. Thats right, my husband was so happy I didn't buy the ones I wanted to $120. He loves me.

All the men in my house hate to have their nails clipped. It is a battle to clip my son's.

Sunday we hosted all our youth, volunteers, and their parents to our hosue for an easy fellowship. I wasn't ready. My hosue wasn't ready. But on thing God has taught me this week is that if I wait until I'm fully ready I'll miss out some amazing things. He uses me the best when I'm not ready.

After all was cleaned from the fellowship, my son curled on the couch with a bag as big as he is.

He really is just like his daddy. Too cute.

Houston We Have a Problem

I think I may have a hoarder in the making. I found this large pile of Pull Ups under his bed this morning.

28 Pull Ups under a toddler bed.  Could he be a hoarder in the making? Should I start an intervention soon?

I have a much simpler explanation...

He's 2!!



Texas Weather

The Bluebonnets are starting to bloom! In Texas that means Spring has Sprung.

Unfortunately our fields of Bluebonnets are not quite this full. We have been seriously low on rain. It has been since November 2010 since we have had any significant rain. In the part of Texas where I live, we are in a Stage 4 drought, there are only 5 stages.

When you haven't had much ran in several months it starts to take a toll on your psyche. Maybe that is just me. Rain refreshes me just as it does the Earth. I need rain, I thrive on rain. I know God will provide it for us soon if we just keep praying.

We always say here, "If you don't like the weather now just wait a few hours. It'll change." Yes, we say "it'll" - it will. It's Texas, here "oil" is pronounced "ol".  Stop chasing bunnies, back to the weather. Sunday it was just down right HOT! We were up around 100 degrees where I live. Some places just above 100. It's April for goodness sakes! It is not supposed to be that hot!! Well we just had to wait a day. Monday it was 60 degrees. So Strange. I had the AC on Sunday and the Heater on Monday. The weather should stabilize this week around 80 which is beautiful! However, no rain. Boo!!
