I have hit the over 5,000 hit mark!That is pretty neat! :) Thank you whoever my readers are. I know there are at least 11 who have subscribed but I highly doubt those only 11 have visited 5,000 times between them. :) So whoever you are out there..I hope you are enjoying my sometimes meaningless thoughts..or my silly stories about my children or here lately..My weighty issues about my family and concerns.... Thank you for praying for me and my issues when I request.
1st things 1st. My foster brother is back home where he belongs. I am so happy to see him home and the house in the order as it should be. Just wasn't quite the same without him there.
2nd- Austin is progressing! He thank goodness has not had any set backs. Its going to a be a long journey...but man is it worth it. I thank God for doctors and God himself for giving the doctors their knowledge to learn and take care of patients like Austin.
Still on the topic of Austin.... Sondra the other day in car made a comment about Austin... I asked her what she said and she said something about someday Stu would get in a car accident and die like Austin..oh whoa Stop... I had to tell myself that when she muttered that so nonchalantly..but she is 4..she has no filter and no real understanding what death really really is..and wait a second?...I said to Sondra...we don't say things like that. That is not very nice. And Austin is not dead?..and she says yes he is. I reminded her that I have visited him and actually visited him that day. And she said he is Dead Mom..he is sleeping!... hmm... well.. I guess to her he is dead. Because dumb of me..since going to funerals and there is a open casket I've told her that such and such is "sleeping" up there and that they are gong to go live in heaven. Well this whole time with Austin..We have explained to her he is "sleeping" while his brain heals but he is going to wake up...which its contradictory to the whole thing I have been telling Sondra trying to explain to her that when you Die you never come back....man... I'm really messing this girl up. I'm going to have to do some research about explaining everything to her.... But she is not understanding the whole part about why I am allowed to go back and see Austin..but she is not. I don't even take her up to the hospital anymore b.c. when we get in the car she always complains...HEEYYY I DIDN'T GET TO SEE AUSTIN.... so... when he wakes up...Sondra will be first in line to see her buddy....ICU will have to bend the rules and let her back there...I at least hope.
Halloween! :) I love it. My Sister and I passed out Candy in Lafayette while Jake walked around with Sondra & Colt & a family from church that live in Lafayette ... which their daughter Alyssa is Sondra's Lafayette Best Friend lol... she has them in each town... I don't think Sondra is too big on Trick or treating...when we were on our way home yesterday from Mel's..she asked if she could ride in the stroller to Trick or treat...lol... Um no Sondra you are four... if you can't walk it out to get candy..then you don't need it! lol... so its funny..b.c. last night they came back early....Jake said there wasn't a moment Sondra didn't have candy in her mouth while trick or treating... she better shape up b.c. Sunday she has Spencerville and the family party to trick or treat on Sunday!
Tonight is the last home game for AE...and Sadly..I'm not going..so me and the kids are staying in and I am going to introduce them to some of my favorite Disney movies. I'm going to go raid the Lloyd's VHS tapes after I pick the kids up...and I'm gonna have them fall in love with Lion King.. Pocahontas if they have it...and any good ones I see...we can have a marathon of Disney movies...
Thanks to Pinterest I think I have found my motivation to pick up sewing again!....Sondra loves all things dolls... she loves the diapers and such and everything...so.. I found on Pinterest.com DIY cloth baby doll diapers. I always found a pattern for a baby doll blanket where the baby don't fall out I would like to try..and also a baby doll sling..My little lady likes to wear her babies which makes me smile and laugh all the same..but I want to try it.. I just got to get around what I need to make each of these things... :)..I'll try my hand at it then maybe buy all matching material and make a bunch for Christmas for her!...oh another thing..Christmas.. lol
So the Toy R us catalog comes this week... or last week not sure..but we start flipping through it..and Sondra always refers to that store as Toys 4 Us..from the very beginning she has and I even call the store that now.. lol anyways... she has a fascination for twins..she almost always pairs her babies up and calls them twins.. like if they are the same brand...or type of doll..even if one is white and one is black... like her 2 cabbage patch kids...both have long hair and about the same size except KiKi is black...and Sami is White..but they are twins.. lol..same goes for her Baby Alive Babies..anyways..so we are flipping through her pages... and all of a sudden I swear she starting convulsing and I thought her head was going to pop off....MOM 3 BABIES! 3 BABIES!..lol yes Sondra... those are triplets. Whiplets? reply..no Sondra TRIP-LETS...Whiplets..I want those for Christmas. We have to call Santa and tell him I want Whiplets for Christmas and new twins for my Birthday! lol.... oh my goodness...so...well it got me thinking... maybe..Instead of buying that exact triplet pack..maybe I could buy 3 of the same baby but different styles or something... IDK..I'm still thinking on that. Santa will have to deliver the triplets..but I want to avoid paying the 49.99 for 3 cheap dolls.. I mean ya they are "interactive"..but really She just wants 3 dolls that are the same!...
Which thinking about Christmas and seeing her become so excited she could hardly contain her self reminded me of a time when I was so excited I couldn't contain myself... I remember the year I got this!
I love my Pony Surpise! I didn't think twice when I pulled the babies out of her belly by ripping open the velcro. Maybe thats why I'd much prefer a C section than to having my babies the old fashion way...lol long shot but hey.. then I always remember getting a set of triplet babies too...
Magic Nursery Triplet Dolls I also had the carrier too! |
I wish I still had some of my favorite childhood toys. It would be neat to show Sondra and let her play with them too! I don't get sad about my house burning down when I was younger... except in these cases. Everything is replaceable. Trust me!
Last night Sondra was playing her LeapPad and Stu is always so interested and Sondra don't like it..so I have to share these photos:
Hey What are you doing on that?? Where's mine? |
I think he does this to annoy her! lol.. |
SO I must get going... This has been here and there..and sorry! ... I'll let you know how the Movie Marathon goes! Later :)
For what it's worth, I think you do an amazing job of explaining things to Sondra! You don't blantabtly lie or tell her something bogus, but you explain well so that her little mind can understand and her little heart can handle!
