Pukey

Yesterday Wyatt wanted to paint. So, I set both kids up with some artsy stuff before I hopped in the shower. Anyhow, got out of the shower to discover that poor little Wy had thrown up. Hmmm no warning at all (I was gone for about 5 min)... SSOOOO Weird! So, I have decided to throw away his sippy cups (they never seem to get clean enough), and hope that it was just like a lactose intolerance thing. He was totally fine the rest of the day. I guess I am not used to the fact that sometimes a kid will just spontaneously throw up? Not sure if that is even right... Anyhow, SO weird. I was thrown by it all day actually because there is a certain anticipation that you feel once your kids has been sick that every time he says "Mommy..." you get a little scared! Anyhow, thankfully we laid down together for a nap and he is fine today. Thank God! Yay!

Today we are off to Oconomowoc, to go to the yarn store, (I am starting a baby blankey from a book called Stitch N B*&%$--sorry it is seriously the name! But the book is awesome!) and then to Walmart, and Pick N Save... Ben is working over time, because he was lucky enough to get off some time on Wednesday because their machine was down. So, he is makin up time this afternoon. I think we are going to try and grill outside with our neighbors if the weather cooperates!

Anyhow, have a great weekend!

Wedding success!!!

The wedding was fantastic. We had a blast! As far as I know, everything went according to plan and the bride was happy and that was what mattered! The kids held up really well and we ended up being able to stay at the reception until about midnight on Saturday night. SO much fun! The food was awesome, and I can't wait to see the photos!

It was so nice to be able to meet the inlaw side of the family that I had pretty much met at my wedding, but ended up being a "nice to meet you thank you for coming, peace out" type situation. My favorite Aunt was there (on Ben's side of aunts that is ;)) and that was a real blessing!

Anyhow, we are busy busy this week and the school year is fast approaching which is really really weird! I am actually bummed about it a little bit, because it is fun to play in the backyard with the other kids in our building and have Wyatt be so excited when he is allowed to go over and play at Brandi and Brandon's house! ;) He is growing up quick and next thing I know, he'll be in school too! Oh my gosh I have to enjoy the time I have. I am just kind of back to the mindset of hmmmmm what do we do all day!?!! Especially when it starts to get cold out and we can't play at the park. Hmmm the YMCA membership is starting to sound better and better for the winter!

A friend of mine turned me on to a book called the Stitch N Bitch (pardon)... so I am reading through that book and about to start a project for our trip to Pennsylvania. I am sooo excited because if we have time have time (Kel and I at least) I would like to show Kelly how to knit. She has been asking me since she lived around here to teach her. At some point I remember that she was working on a project of some sort (maybe crotchet?) but nevertheless, it would give us the perfect opportunity if I am already in the middle of a project! The book is hilarious btw... Love it! Anyhow, I am looking forward to that, because there is something very very therapeutic about knitting. You might not believe me, but I am super serious. I would like to be able to knit a hat and mittens for each of us for the winter as well... but that may be a bit advanced for me being a beginner. We'll see how the blankey goes!

Other than that, I am working on getting back into the swing of my Bible reading in the morning and prayerful journaling. I have been extremely distracted lately and haven't spent much time in the word. So so sad to say it, but I am really sorry for it and need to get back into the habit! Kelly said that when I come to PA, that she and I can work on reading and discussing a chapter a day. I love that girl so much for helping me with stuff like this! I MISS HER so much! And probably more and more when we go visit there... Anyhow the kids and I are off to the grocery store this morning and then to Grams later... YAY~

Oh update on Grams... had her last round of treatment last week and is feeling quite well... next step is an operation. Please pray for healing. Please also pray for my sister... she is having a hard go of things lately...

Thanks peops!
Peace
