Preacher's Kids

You know, children are children and the preacher's children are no exception. I got so tickled at my little ones last night. The FisherMan preached a great sermon out of Proverbs on the heart but as all mothers know, when you have your children you are listening out of one ear and mothering out the other!
Here are a few little tidbits from last night to show you what I mean.

Cornbread was in rare form last night and kept trying to give "fist bumps" to everyone behind us...all the way back.
He also played the eyes, ears, nose, hair, etc game with me, his sisters....and everyone else behind us. Oh, and who can forget the bellybutton at which time he stood up in my lap, raised his shirt over his head, and made delightful squeals?
You've heard of the amen corner? Well, he has learned to say "Roll Tide" and was proud to proclaim it.
Towards the end FlowerChild lost interest and I looked down to see she was swaying, snapping her fingers, and singing under her breath. I didn't know the song. Apparently it was an original work, something about chocolate and pizza.
We had a fly tormenting us throughout the service. LadyBug repeatedly tried to catch it as Mama repeatedly attempted to calm her strange antics. Finally I glanced down to see the unassuming fly resting happily on my injured foot. There sat LadyBug with a determined look on her face, her bright, pink sparkly slipper raised high above her head.

Oh, my babies, LOL.

    Hi there!
    You more than likely won't forget this special time with your children and how they entertained themselves through the sermon.

    Later on, it's these moments that will be a put a big smile on your face and I think it will make you chuckle even then.

    Autumn blessings to you,

    I want you to know that while I was reading this, I was getting some very strange looks. I couldn't help laughing outloud at those silly children. They are too precious.
    Once Cornbread gets started on those fists bumps, there's no stopping him until he's gotten to everyone--TWICE!!!
    I love when he wants to give Chicken Little fist bumps. He wants to "fist bump" her and she want to give him slobber kisses!!!
    The stories we'll tell on them if Flowerchild's predictions are accurate!!!!

    Oh, I remember those days. We used to have a house-church, and used our dining room "Captain's" chairs to sit in. During the sermon (I did the music) our youngest, about 5 or 6, managed to get the whole end of the chair arm in his mouth. Don't know how he did it.

    Deanna,
    How I wish I had a photographic memory so I wouldn't forget a single moment! I still laugh when I think of the silly things my oldest did and said throughout the years!

    Mary,
    It can be hard to keep a straight face at times! I can only imagine how funny that was!

    You must post about how you keep your children in church with you! I have tried a few times on Sunday nights or Wednesday nights and I end up leaving with one of them screaming. Please HELP!!

    Shana,
    I will have to do that. Let me think on it. :) Every child is certainly different. We have our share of slipping out in a 'not so unnoticed" way too LOL!

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!

Power Bills

We lucked out last month on our power bill. We received a credit on our bill which helped tremendously. A lot of folks were shocked at how high their bills were, however. I can't blame them! Some of the figures I heard were outrageous! $500-600, one even $1200! One thing that got me was that many of these people work outside the home and their children are in school or daycare so the house stands empty all day. Not only that, but their families are much smaller so things like the washer, dryer, or stove would not be used as frequently. Shouldn't their bill be lower than ours? I think it has everyone trying to come up with ways to save on power. There are some things that are a given. Good insulation and windows go a long way towards helping lower a bill. When we first moved into our home the windows were very old. Some were cracked or even broken. The church eventually replaced them which was a huge blessing! But what were we to do in the meantime? Well, one way is to buy th...
