praise: it is supposed to be 60 here on tuesday. i'm looking forward to the mild weather that is to come.
prayer: took landon out in the damp, cold air today-pray that he doesn't get sick.
playfulness: today, i let landon take an umbrella shopping with us. he was thrilled to carry it outside. only problem was-the wind was stronger than he was. we were walking up to the store and the wind whipped his umbrella around, throwing him on the ground and sending his umbrella sailing down the parking lot. thankfully for us, a nice gentleman ran out into the road and caught our fleeing umbrella. he looked just like all of the nannies that were blown away in mary poppins. i chuckled for a while (and am still chuckling) at the sight of him trying to hold on to the umbrella.
also today, landon was sitting on the potty when he declared-"mommy, i broke the potty!" he had managed to take off the lid while sitting.
auburn has a new nickname-JAWS. at lunch, i gave her a fork to become accustomed to (not flimsy plastic-but kid plastic). she bit a tine off. amazing. landon has used the same fork for over a year with no such incident.

2 April 2005
praise: i have the privilege of babysitting my 2 nieces and 1 nephew a few days a week.
prayer: sanity as i babysit.
playfulness: while babysitting, i am as close to having 2 sets of twins as i ever care to be. jordan is 4 (almost 5), landon and jenna are only 5 months apart, and phillip and auburn are only 19 days apart. this has proved to be interesting: two that are still not fully potty trained and two that are still not fully mobile.
yesterday, the 6 of us went outside. i had the two youngest in the pack-n-play. auburn was laying on her stomach watching us and phillip was standing up. he then decided to use her as a step-stool to see better over the side (stood right in the middle of her back). surprisingly, she didn't scream too loudly.
auburn had her first taste of dirt yesterday. while i was walking her around outside, she picked up a toy golf ball, and then decided to lick it.
my brother got my parents with a good april's fool joke. he is still having problems with his front teeth that he had knocked out and fixed about 4 years ago. yesterday, he called them up and said that his tooth broke off when he bit into an apple. they both fell for it, even began looking up phone numbers of dentists before he told them "april fools!"
once again, more things happened, but i don't remember....
