praise: we are doing well at our garage sale.
prayer: the husband was up late wednesday night, thursday night, and then participated in a junior high guys' sleepover last night (friday). pray that he does not get a migraine as a result (and that i can keep the son away from him so he can sleep).
playfulness: i see that we are having nick-name wars. i've been informed that certain friends have been running up their preference on the nick-name vote! =)
the little princess definitely has a different personality than the son. she cries very easily, whereas the son is immune to everything. this morning while i was feeding her, she fell asleep (which is usual). i made a simple sound to keep landon from devouring more chocolate chip cookies, and it practically spooked her out of her skin. her arms flew out and she began her very sad, pouty cry. i felt awful. took her a while to calm down.
gotta go, she's crying again.

praise: the kids just had their 2yr./2mo. check-ups. both are healthy.
prayer: the daughter had 3 shots this morning, so she is clingy and cranky. tomorrow is the beginning of our garage sale, pray that we do well (we need to get rid of a lot of stuff).
playfulness: the doctor asked if the son could put 2 words together in his speech patterns-i almost laughed aloud. he then proceeded to sing, "o be careful little hands what you touch" (our version) for her and "twinkle, twinkle". her comment "he's very musical".
kids' measurements: the son is 38 inches tall and weighs 35 lbs., the daughter is 24 inches long and weighs 13 lbs. 1oz. both of them are in the 95th percentile or higher (landon's height is off the charts).

praise: the sore on the son's tongue is completely gone.
prayer: the husband pulled an all-nighter last night. pray that he doesn't get a migraine.
playfulness: the son has discovered that he loves to play "candy" (candyland) and "matches" (memory). of course, we don't play either of them correctly. for "candy", we put all of the food cards out on their squares, then we either play with the color cards and mommy or daddy moves all of the pieces, or else we just hop all over the board. another favorite thing of the son's is to pretend that he is eating all of the food on the board. for "matches", we turn the cards face up, and try to find the ones that look alike. of course, landon's favorite cards are the pizza, hot dog, and hamburger cards. no wonder he's chubby!!

p.s. playfulness: the son and i were in the basement, each doing our own thing. according to him, i was putting things in the "leddagator". interpretation: "elevator"-the large storage area where he and his cousins pretended they were in an elevator.

praise: the husband did a great job with the graphic for my blog. it will be nice to have this on our site. a friend stopped by with a pair of 3T winter pants for the son.
prayer: the weather is very humid which makes our non-ac house very sticky.
playfulness: i was very tired this morning, so i convinced the son to lay down with me. we hid under the sheets and pretended we were in a tent. it worked very well. we read books in the "tent" for about half an hour.
while i was trying to figure this out, the son unrolled half of our wax paper, emptied a box of sandwich bags and almost emptied a box of gallon ziploc bags.
