Our First Bee Sting

We had our first bee sting today. :( sniff sniff
The trio were playing outside,and I heard Abbey screaming bloody murder, while Trevor kept shouting over and over "BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG"
She was terrified, and it hurt!! Poor baby.
Everyone had to come in, and sissy had to be babied for a little bit.
Tonight was the Gospel Jam at the Lutheran church. Mommy's time. I love going. I so enjoy it. I think Trevor will be my singer. He loves to sing. I think I'll take them one at a time with me to some of the Jam sessions.

A Sweecet

Tonight, as normal, Abbey was trying to stall going to bed. She whispered to me "mommy, come here! I have a present for you!" I asked her "what is it?"
She put her hand up to her mouth and whispered to me "It's a Sweetcet!"
LOL
Dylan had a problem with HIS shorts today. They were a little big. He pulled at them all day. Then while we were outside, he got mad about something, and screamed, and his pants fell down to his feet. I had to laugh.
Trevor is such a lovey dovey lately. He's constantly just telling me out of the blue "mom, I love you."
Does my heart good. They all do my heart so much good. They're so beautiful.

Books, Back Rubs, and Balloons

We've been having such a good time with books lately. I bought a bunch of Child Craft books, and Child Encyclopedias, and they love for me to just sit and go through every picture with them, and tell them what the picture is.
Almost every morning when I go to the boys room, the are looking at the Child Encyclopedias, and say "mom, come here come here! and see this!" and shows me pictures in these books.
Trevor is constantly giving me back rubs. It's so sweet. It started the other night, when I was just sitting at the table talking with Dave. Trevor came up and just started rubbing my back, and said "how's that mom?"
We had some balloons left over from Bible School, here at the house. Yesterday, it was pretty cool outside, so we had the windows open, and the exhaust fan on. One of the boys came out and immediately said "I love you mom" so I knew something must have happened. LOL
I went down the hall to where they had been playing, and the fan had sucked the balloon to the ceiling. So, I blew up more balloons, and we kept throwing them up there,then turning off the fan and they'd all fall, then back on again, and so on. How fun!!! ha ha

VBS continued with PICS

Hey all. We just finished up our last night of Bible School. They did SO well.
It was set up like a HOME, and the kids went to different classes each night and had a different teacher depending on the room they went to. Different, but fun.
Well, I had my kids in my class last night. 4 and 5 year olds. I was Dreading it!!! I was in the "kitchen" and we baked bread in my class, among other things. I thought it would just be crazy!! But we had a blast!! If we have it again next year, and have the same ages all week long, I think I will even request that age. They had so much fun, and payed attention, and are so easy to please! I guess it was easier for me to relate too since I have my three, but it was just a lot of fun.
Here are some pictures of them at VBS this week!! I'll be getting more of them developed today, so I'll put more on if I get some good ones!! (ok, I'm not sure if the pics came through, so if they're not here, I'll be back to get them on)

Handsome Socks

Just had to throw this one in. Last night, Abbey wanted socks when she went to bed. I went and got her some white crew socks of the boys'. She said "I thought you would get me pretty pink socks"and I told her that I didn't know where any where right now, and that these would have to do. She said "these are boys socks? and they're not pretty?" I said "no, but they're cute." and she said "No, they're handsome!"
LOL

VBS, Prayer, and Where God lives.......

well, we started VBS yesterday evening, it's the first for the trio. They are LOVING it.
I've been on my feet so much lately, and in hot weather, that for some reason, my one ankle is really swollen and sore.
Tonight after VBS the boys were both very concerned when I showed them my "FAT" ankle. I asked them "will you pray for me" and they said "yes" and took me very literally, and both closed their eyes right there at the table (eating a snack) and I heard things like this "Jesus, Mommy, Hurt, Bad,,, Jesus, Help Mommy, Fat Ankle" and in between all of that some mumblings. then a final "amen" by Trevor, and Dylan followed with his own Amen. I want to tell the world, that that was the Sweetest Prayer I've ever heard in my life. My boys. My four year old boys, prayed for me right then and there, and asked Jesus to make my hurt, fat ankle to feel better. WOW. Amazing.
THEN, as I was getting Abbey ready for bed, I asked her what she learned at Bible School tonight. And she said "That God lives in our heart" Double WOW.
No offense to anyone, but I do believe I have the best kids in the whole world. :)

I'm Back

Wow, I had a hard time getting back into my blog!!! Finally,I can give some more updates. I feel like I've missed journaling so much of their little lives.
Tonight was their first night ever of Vacation Bible School. They had sooooo much fun.
Ok, one of the cutest things that Trevor has been doing, is calling Abbey "Abs."
He'll say "I'll get it for you Abs" and things like that. It cracks me up!!
Dylan is doing SO good at the Potty thing. He just marches in there like a little man, puts the little potty seat on the toilet, gets his own pants down, goes potty, flushes, pulls his pants up, and goes to the sink to wash all on his own. He's doing SO good.
Abbey is such a little grown up. She did such a good job in Alicia's wedding being the flower girl. She was sooooo tired and so hot, but just stayed so pleasant. I'll have to post some current pics.
