NEED SOME WIND BENEATH HIS WINGS

*Update I totally dreamed last night that MC 1 had to get his hearing tested (which he really did) and his prize for passing was a HUGE bottle of Wings for Men...

Last week, my niece and nephew spent the day with us. We decided that for lunch we would get pizza from our nearest convenience store.
APPARENTLY that is a social outing that requires we smell our best...or at least our strongest.
I told you about MC 1 and his Wings for Men. Now imagine that times 3. Yes, all three little boys decided to spritz themselves with MC 1 cologne for our trip to the store. However, they sprayed it on like it was scent remover, which meant they put it everywhere. Head to toe!
I got in the truck and had to go back out for air.
We literally drove with all the windows down so we could breathe.
Really did not see this issue coming.
Little men children are supposed to be smelly and stinky.
They are not supposed to be smelling good for the La-dies...
First, you are too young for the LA-DIES,
Second, YOU ARE TOO YOUNG FOR THE LA-DIES!
Besides any lady they find is going to need to have her sense of smell removed if this continues.

THE PARTY'S OVER...

In the car yesterday...

You know if Mom goes back to work I can't come to your parties anymore.

Ehh..that's okay.

It's okay now?

Yeah. It wasn't okay when I was seven, but now that I am eight it is fine.

He has been eight for less than 72 hours.

LEGACY

I am in the middle of Breaking Free by Beth Moore.
We have been talking about our generational influences.
I would like to share one of mine with you.

Today, my maternal grandparents would have been married for 71 years.

My Nanny passed away 2 years ago this month, but in his heart, my grandfather is still the husband of one feisty, Northern woman.
That is a legacy that my family can take to the godly bank.
It will serve us well.

SPRING BREAK 20-10

Nothing.
No where.
Nada.
We have not left the house in four days.
I may get adventurous and go to the local convenience store to get a pizza for lunch, but I don't know if I feel that daring.
Besides, it would require me to put on more than pajama pants and a t-shirt and I may just not be up to it.
We have cleaned house and painted.
We have worked on our jump shots and lay-ups.
We have eaten sugar-laced cereal since we don't need "smart food" for breakfast this week.
We have enjoyed every minute of it.
Hope you have, too.

HE IS

"He is your praise,

and He is your God,

who has done for you

these great and awesome things

which your eyes have seen."

Deuteronomy 10:21

NKJV

Should you wake up today

wondering if there is

anything

praise worthy in your life...

HE IS.

PHOTO OPS OR PHOTO OOPS?

I am in a quandary.

MC 2.

You can't fully appreciate all that he is without photos.

Yet, in taking the photos, I encourage the very behavior I am trying to correct.

An example happened today. MC 2 & I met MC 1 & HH at the grocery store. I grabbed a buggy when we went in, only to discover HH already had one and had began to fill it (NEVER a good sign, peeps, N-E-V-E-R). We were all parked by the Easter candy and MC 2 had drifted down the row a bit to scout out the stash. As I turned from my buggy to look into HH's buggy, I caught just a glimpse of my buggy moving. By the time I got around the corner, MC 2 had pulled my buggy up beside the candy, pulled down the front part and was literally standing, STANDING!, inside the buggy trying to reach the top shelf. S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G in the buggy in the middle of the store.

It was so fast I could not believe it.

Now see, a picture would have been so dramatic, but also a tad bit encouraging.

Plus - I am pretty sure the people in the store would have not been to happy.

All I can say is keep us in your prayers:0)
