praise: all five of us are healthy, at the moment.
prayer: this week is the macp at our church, which means-many overtime hours for dave and much more cleaning for me. pray that we survive the week and the kids get enough time, too.
playfulness: landon. what more can i say. i will try to paint this with all of the humor due, while trying to keep from being crass. while our little man was using the bathroom this afternoon, he some how fell in. the thing that makes this funny is that he wasn't in the sitting position. i heard the splash and went running in, because honestly, it sounded like he had gotten sick. i tried not to laugh when he told me what happen. the floor and his socks were soaked, but i went ahead and had him change his entire outfit for fear of what had soaked up the splash. i have never heard of someone falling in from the standing position. the mental image is hysterical.
i guess today is the day of restroom tales. auburn is fascinated with using toilet paper. every time she tries to use the ducky seat, she must clean herself-regardless of the attempt's results.
the other day, i told the 5 kids that i would be stepping into the restroom for a few moments. landon piped up and said, "make sure you wash your hands with soap!"
two weeks ago, a friend was dropping off her son in landon's nursery. she looked at him and said, "now Luke, be good." landon looked at her and said "you be good, too."
in one of landon's kids meals from wendys, he received a "charlie and the chocolate factory-go fish game". he has played with it just about every day since receiving it. we are going on the third month of it, i believe. anyway, last week, he decided that he wasn't going to bug his parents to play any more. i found him sitting in the living room with his "brown charlie" and "white charlie" (two teddy bears) having a rousing hand of go fish.

looks like kenton was the winner in the opinion poll for boys names (kenton=9, dalton=4, devvon=1). i have to say that i am thrilled with the outcome, seeing as that is my favorite name of the three as well. dave is wanting dalton, so that will probably end up being the name if it is a boy. but... i can still hope. anyway, please vote in the girl name poll. we have a very difficult time coming up with girls names that we like.

praise: auburn has been sleeping through the night on a regular basis now.
prayer: the kids and i are sick. i don't know about them, but i have a sore throat and my ears are really bothering me. we all are coughing, too. my next dr. appointment is a week from yesterday. i'm trying to hold on until then, but we'll see.
playfulness: for those of you who do not know, i've started selling AVON. if you are interested in making a purchase, please contact me by email. even if you are not local, you can order from my website. just send me an email, then i will send you the link to the site with a few instructions.
my mind is not allowing me to remember if the kids have done anything exciting recently. i'll post if i think of anything.
