So What Have You Learned Today?

My little guy has been very busy today.

He has discovered how to open several doors.

And shut them.

Repeatedly.

He has learned to pull the chairs out from the kitchen table.

And how to climb up in them to sit down.

And how to use them to climb onto the kitchen table.

He has learned to climb to the top of the playpen where he hovers precariously, unable to get up or down.

He has learned to climb on top of the toilet. I think he has his eye on the top of the cabinet that sits above the commode.

He has learned that the pretty balls on the tree shatter into tiny pieces when you throw them.
Well, it's happened 3 times with 5 casualties so let's hope he has learned!

He has learned how to climb up in the desk chair and attempts to type or use the mouse on the computer.

He has also figured out that he can psyche us out by grabbing the ornaments on the tree, then as we are putting them back on the tree he makes a beeline for the computer.

He sat down this morning and shared LadyBug's reading lesson, imitating every sound for every letter.

So maybe tomorrow will be reading! :)

    I feel like this with Chicken Little. Our new thing is screaming out when we don't get our way. Oh, this tests mommy's nerves (and patience..lol). She's also learned to draw in (intentionally) spilled milk. And That the Christmas tree skirt looks better when not around the tree (surprisingly, hasn't bothered the tree itself tho). She's learned that she can go any where she'd like, and if she can't she pleads..."go da-da go". :o) Gotta love them at this stage!! Can't wait to see ya'll Saturday! Love and miss ya'll!!!

    Mama Hen,
    Oh she's just beginning to flex her muscles when it comes to figuring out how to push her Mommy's buttons. :) I can't believe she is big enough for all that though! Love y'all too! (hope Papa Rooster is feeling better!)

    Thank you... I had to take off early yesterday to take him to the doctor. You he's SICK when he agrees to see a doctor (lol). I took him to the new clinic across from Wal-Mart in the BIG CITY. They said it's probably a virus. I hope he's feeling better soon. I'd hate for him to miss the birthday party tomorrow!!!

    Oh, I don't imagine he would miss that! :)

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...
