Funny Weekend Happenings

By -
I am terribly sorry for not giving a FullerTown update in over a week. It has been a very busy week around here. I will share some funny things that have happened. There is never shortage of funny here.

1. Yesterday, at church, a lady asked me what shade my hose were. She said something like, "Your pantyhose are just so natural-looking." I wasn't wearing hose. My freshly-shaven legs were as natural as it gets.

2. This morning, I went to get Paul from his bed. He normally wakes up and plays in his bed until someone comes to get him. This morning, I didn't hear him playing. He typically will throw everything out of his bed. The pillows, the toys, the blanket, everything except himself. This morning, when I arrived on the scene, everything was on the floor, including his diaper!!!

3. Our girls are becoming more and more like best friends. They play together so well. Last night, they were playing like one was the Mommy and the other was the sister. Then they would switch. They were going grocery shopping, wearing my Sunday shoes and carrying their pink fuzzy purses. They bought milk, diapers and peanut butter. The milk and diapers are always welcome but I'm not so sure about the peanut butter issue.

4. Our children have been given a lot of Valentine candy this weekend. They are loving it. So am I. I am glad they don't like Snickers bars. And I have no shame in finishing a piece of candy they have discovered their palette doesn't appreciate.

On a final note, my saving grace these days is Lindt Milk Chocolate truffles. One $3 bag lasts 2 whole weeks. These truffles are not to be chewed or swallowed. You just put one into your mouth and let it melt down your throat. NO SWALLOWING ALLOWED. One of these sweet balls of goodness pulls me through the difficult times of being an at-home mom to rambunctious preschoolers.

You oughtta try it sometime.

The truffles, that is.

P. S. I received exactly what I wanted for Valentine's Day!!! He is DA BOMB!!!

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
