Adventures in mommy hood

I woke up early this morning to my two year old throwing a fit. After getting through that by the grace of God I mopped my kitchen floor. Which had last nights dinner dried on it. The Children peacefully finished their breakfast and took the bowls to the dishwasher. My two year old spilled he cereal bowl all over the newly mopped kitchen floor. After that I prayed for patients, strength and a loving attitude. As if timing was everything My two year old walks out of the play room with poop in his hand. yes poop in his hand. so we walk to the bathroom. The poop falls out of his pants and then of course he steps in it. I scrubbed the bathroom floor. Which by the way I cleaned the bathroom last night while the children where in the bath. So I cleaned it again. Changing my sons clothes for the third time today. and it is only 9am.

The last couple of days have be very peaceful. God has been so good to give me a 2 day break. God is great. He gives us what we need when we need it. All I need to do is to depend on Him when it time to scrub the floor for the third time this today.

As my day went on the children quited down climbed into bed with each other are read books it was very sweet. It was the break. I need in my day. The Lord is so good!

Caden rides on 2 wheels

It is such a beautiful spring day. I took the kids out to ride bikes on our street. Caden learned to ride a 2 wheel bike today. He was so scared to try but he knows how to know. It is so neat to watch your children learn new things. He is growing up so fast.

Spring

I was sweeping my front porch today. I was reminded of how beautiful the day is. The birds are singing the flowers are blooming. The sweet smell of spring is in the air. What a awesome God we serve. He Gives us these beautiful things to enjoy. God is good! I write this as my children are happily playing in the other room. Thank you Jesus for this peaceful moment in time.

T-ball mom

Caden has his first t-ball game saturday. He is growing up so fast. Owen brings his mitt to every game and pratice. Owen likes to think he plays t-ball. He really looks up to Caden. Owen Loves his big brother.

Owen's new favorite term is "do it by myself".

The Lord is teaching me patients through my lovely little blessings. The Lord really is giving me joy in the things I do. The dishes and the messes and the messes and the messes and the laundry day after day after day does get old. God is showing me this is what I am called to do, I count it a blessing to be able to do these things. I pray daily the Christ would allow me to see the joy and blessings in laundry and dishes and messes.

I am reading a book called Don't Make Me Count To Three. By Ginger Plowman. It is a good book. It is nice to be reminded of what God has called me to do. It is also nice to be reminded that I am not alone when it feels locking my self in the bathroom and taking a long bubble bath. God has called me to clean up messes, do laundry and wipe nose's. I pray that I would not lose focus of that.
