30 Second Rule, and Giving Day!

I lurk around a lot on blog land, and in my lurking I come across interesting things. This particular entry caught my eye, and made so much sense to me. Check it out. I think any mother at any time can agree!


Today we start our giving day. I started last night, as I knew if I put the boys in charge of giving away toys there would be two in the box. This included Rex, he is just as bad as the little ones! In my hunting through, I found about 10 socks, and hidden cups that I had been looking for for weeks!

So today, we attack their closest of toys, and their closet of clothes. Should be fun.

Until we get some fancy stencils and paints we wrote on paper our new motto. Give Time, Give Thoughts, Give Things, Give Thanks. The boys are really starting to pick up on it. Trenton always brings me home trinkets and papers from school, but yesterday he brought home Joe his very own Valentine hand made by him. Joe was thrilled and carried it around with him all evening. I was very proud. Joe is also starting to get in the giving spirit a bit more too. He always checks on Ben, and consoles him, and now in his late night cheese run (the kids has to have cheese at bed time) he always gets Trenton one too now.

Ahh I forgot football cake pictures again. They will make an appearance today!! Hope everyone is welll!!!!

Just When You Are About To Break Down.....

Ok so the picture on here is not that clear (its a picture of a picture) but just as I was about to go into freak out mode with all three kidos needing me at once and trying to get some work done, along with preparing for my dad to visit, Joe tugs on my shirt pulls me over to this picture and says "That's you and daddym you are a princess! " Ohh I melted! I am rejuvinated and ready to take on the rest of my day!
