Ephesians 2:6 NIV
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

And this one is D’s:

Isaiah 12:4 NIV
In that day you will say: “Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.

What’s Yours?

Mother – “Are you guys done eating? Cause we need to get this house in some sort of … house shape.”
Children – “Homes are for free expressions, not first impressions.”

While I do agree with them, in theory, there has been a little too much free expression going on in this house since I’ve been sick. Why can no one EVER freely express themselves by CLEANING the house, instead of MESSING it up?!

Tonight, is the 1st episode of Kids By The Dozen Make sure to watch! If you miss it, check the website for additional run times.

The next person who exhibits cold symptoms, is getting this! hmm…..I just might try it on myself first, even though I’ve already had my cold for a few days. Plus the kids will probably be more open to trying it, if they see me do it to myself first. Hey! Mel is the latest one to get the cold. I’ll do it to her, too. But the kids might have to hold her down while I do it!

Well, we got all the errands done yesterday. At the pharmacy, I saw our neighbor, who also cut our hair (hmmm…guess I didn’t blog that. I’ll find the pic and post it) she asked how I liked my hair, and said it looked pretty on me. 🙂 The ladies at the library noticed, too and said they liked it, as well as Hannah’s.

In the van, on the way home, Calen called Zachary a nut (although he now denies this) and Z told him “I’m not the nut, you and Hannah were the ones born in nut town!”
roflol C & H were born in OH, you know, the buckeye state! roflol That’s a pretty good comeback from a 6yo! roflol

Well, I need to go light a fire under my kids, expecially the OLDER ones. We have to leave in like 45 minutes for Mel’s dr’s appt, and certain OLDER children (adults?) are STILL sleeping!

We were talking about poppa eating his spaghetti and meatballs with a paint stick, because I forgot to pack him a fork. And someone (mel) said do you remember the meatball song? So of course we had to look it up!

On top of Spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table, and onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.
It rolled down the garden, and under a bush,
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush!
The mush was as tasty, as tasty could be,
And then the next summer it grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered, all covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs, all covered with sauce.
So if you have spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
Hold onto your meatball, ’cause someone might sneeze.

Which led us to this song:

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.
I dunno why she swallowed that fly,
Perhaps she’ll die.
There was an old lady who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly –
Perhaps she’ll die.
There was an old lady who swallowed a bird;
How absurd, to swallow a bird!
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly –
Perhaps she’ll die
There was an old lady who swallowed a cat.
Imagine that, she swallowed a cat.
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird …
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly
Perhaps she’ll die
There was an old lady who swallowed a dog.
What a hog! To swallow a dog!
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat…
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird …
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly
Perhaps she’ll die.
There was an old lady who swallowed a goat.
Just opened her throat and swallowed a goat!
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog …
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat.
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird …
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly
Perhaps she’ll die.
There was an old lady who swallowed a cow.
I don’t know how she swallowed a cow!
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat… She swallowed the goat to catch the dog…
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat…
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird …
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly
Perhaps she’ll die.
There was an old lady who swallowed a horse –
She’s dead, of course.

which I’d never heard of before, but my children thought was funny, or gross, depending on who you asked.

acutal quotes heard by me that we said by my actual children:
“why do you have your foot in front of my face?”
“because your face is in front of my foot!”
“do your ears hang low?” “with a feather on it’s back?” “quack quack quack”

I have to go now. They are trying to outdo them selves with quotes for me to use! roflol

is shaping up to be quite busy. sigh.
My sinus’s are still bothering me. I didn’t use any saline drops yesterday. bad me. I’m going to go back to that today, even though hanging upside down on the side of the bed makes one sinus’s feel much, much worse, and makes you quite dizzy when you get up, it does help.
I have to do mega amounts of kids laundry today. sigh….Looks like it’s going to be in the 50’s and sunny today. FINALLY a good day to hang laundry on the line. I also have to check on the clothes that I took off the line last night to make sure they are dry. Yeah, that’s right, I brought them in the house and haven’t touched them since. I much preferred going to bed early and getting some much needed rest, as I haven’t been sleeping well because of this cold. So yeah, I need to check on those clothes. And MAKE the kids get all their laundry out of their rooms, despite the fact that they aren’t SUPPOSED to have any dirty laundry IN their rooms!! grrrrr!!!
Then after lunch I have to pick up D’s meds, go the library, the cheap grocery store, and to get hay, oh, yeah, note to self: pay the water bill while your out! Which would require me to update the check book. sigh

Is it nap time YET?!?!
