We'll start with yesterday....The boys and I went to church and I enjoyed listening to a very good sermon. The boys did well in the nursery. Baby Nick was so interested in watching all the other kids that he refused to take a nap. The result; he was asleep before leaving the church! While packing the boys up to leave the nursery, Joey kept waving, "Bye kids, bye kids." (As if he were one of the big people!) I had to return to the sanctuary to pick up my things, and Joey ran up and down the aisles and up on the platform (something he learned he enjoyed from his cousin Jesse!) As I was running up on the platform to keep Joey from pulling on all the cords trying to figure out what they do, Pastor called out to me, saying, "I didn't know if you were going to sing today. Were you ready to sing?" NO WAY, I assured him. "Next week." he said. So I am scheduled to sing next Sunday. The next order of business was to find something to sing, that I could learn in only one week.
Back to Monday.....Nick wanted me to come in this morning and do some more filing as they may have a visit this week from an accreditation company, and he wanted to make sure everything was in order. So after reading until 3:30am, knowing the alarm was going to go off shortly after 7:00am, I got up early, got the boys and I ready and went in to work for Nick. When the boys had all they could handle, I brought them home for a couple hours before leaving again to go the the Christian book store. They didn't have a huge selection of accompaniment CD's and I didn't recognize most of them by just the title, but I picked out a couple that had nice lyrics. (They didn't come with the melody written out in music, just lyrics, so I was truly choosing blind, or deaf, as it were.) Listening to the first song I chose in the car on the way home, I knew that it was the one I would sing on Sunday. It is called, "My Past is Passed." My favorite line says "And Satan declares 'the sin is still there' Then God asked the question, 'What sin?'" It's a beautiful reminder that when we confess our sins and repent, God is faithful and just to forgive us and then He chooses to remember the sin no longer.
After being home for a couple hours, we loaded back up in the van, went back to Nick's work to finish the filing started that morning and to bring Nick home when he got off work. Then came dinner, dishes, laundry, garbage collection, and taking the garbage to the curb.
Here are my adorable sons playing with each other in the recliner. Notice how Joey is, once again, not wearing any pants! I swear, I can't keep clothes on that boy. (Did I mention that the temperature never got out of the single digits today?!) They have so much fun laughing at each other. They don't have to have any thing to laugh at, but one starts laughing, the other follows suit. Back and forth, laughing at each other for no other reason, except that they enjoy being brothers. It cracks me up.
When Nick went out the front door to take the garbage to the curb, not ten feet away was a mama moose munching on the tree limbs. I snapped a couple pictures to show you. You can see that the hind end of the moose is nearly touching the corner of our house, that is how close she was!
Anyway, I think Bug is finally getting tired...if only you could hear him! I better take care of him. Hopefully he will go to sleep quickly and I can get some sleep tonight.
