Home Sick....

Look at this pitiful face!! Doesn't it say...
"Hold me mom, I am sick!"

We've been a bit under the weather...Each week, when we go to church and put the kids in the nursery, the following Tuesday they come down with a cold!! It is sometimes easy to get discouraged- at times you feel cut off from the rest of the world! We miss church, and the fellowship that church brings.

I read a very encouraging blog from another mom about this. So, for all my young mom friends click here.

Here's a funny little happening I had to share:





Freshly diapered from their baths I went into the kitchen to get a glass of water, and I was thinking to myself, " how nice, the girls are playing together in their room so quietly." That thought turned into..."man, they are really quiet." To...."GIRLSSS!!!"


This is what I found.








What is that white stuff you ask?


That, my friends, is Desitin. (To all my friends without children....that's) DIAPER CREAM and it ain't called 'cream' for no reason. It is an oily mess under water...so, bathtime number 2 took a bit longer.






You can't really tell from the pictures, but Kate had laid it on thick. She used like half a bottle of the desitin on Savannah. She looked like the Austrailan aboriginals we visited in Australia!

And the funniest part, Savannah was standing there, very still, letting her do it! She is so cute. Wanting to take part in everything sister does. Kate has even started telling us what Savannah is trying to say.

And, last night before bed, Kate said, "Mommy, tell me a verse."

So, while praying for a verse to give her on the spot, I remembered the one I am memorizing. Remain in me and you will bear much fruit. So I recited it to her.

She looked at me and said, "yeah, fruit cocktail!"
