Welcome to the Neighborhood.............Mom
Yes, it is good news for me....................and bad news for my husband, My mother is moving in the house almost across the street from me!! She used to help me out a lot with the children but her two bedroom apartment got smaller & smaller with each kid that i had. So now she is moving into a 3 bedroom house!!!
The kids have always loved going to grandma & grandpa's, I mean c'mon, thy give then whatever they want to eat and let them run around and play!!!
It's actually funny because my mo,s husband, my step dad, has never had children so he really doesn't know what to do with them, so as soon as we get there, he is in the pantry or at the stove. I have always heard that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach, does that work with kids too? Is that some kind of connection between the two? hmmmm, that could be a whole nother blog on it's own!! LoL
Anyway, I might not be on much because I have to g clean my sister-in-laws house tomorrow, my little side job, and then I am going to help my mom move.
Talk to you all soon, oh, and be on the look out because sometime in the near future I am going to do my very first bloggy give away. And since my new blog makeover is coffee, you can just think on that!!

Cheap Christmas Decorating tips.
I had bought some "after christmas" wrapping paper for about 24 cents a roll. I had purchased, BackYardigans, Barbie, Tinkerbell, Whinnie the Pooh, Spiderman, Dora and probably a couple others I can't remember. Well instead of just wrapping Christmas gifts with it, I wrapped our pictures on our walls!!
My husband is personally embaressed by this but my kids LOVE it!!
They are asking me,"Mom, why are there presents on the walls?"
For me, it's great because it's ceap and the kids love looking at thier favorites characters all month long.
hmmmmm, I can't figure out why my husband wouldn't like seeing Dora or Spiderman on our wals????? (Wink Wink)

Christmas Card Picture
Well I tried to get the kids together for a Christmas picture, Snapfish is giving 20 photo cards for 20 cents until Sunday at midnight.
Well it definitely did not work for all three of them together. NICOLAS HATES THE CAMERA!! I know that it is a strong word but in this case I mean it. I didn't get one good shot of him.
I did however have to pick 3 of them, each of them individually and then just give up.......becuase..........Rebekah started throwing up ALL OVER her dress!! Ugghhh!!
Anyway this was the best that I got, so if you are one the unlucky, I mean lucky ones getting a picture, here is a sneak peak....
Oh, and please don't tell me to just try it again a different day..............becuase I refuse...........I give up...........I will never get them all dressed and looking nice for that again!!!! Well not ever but deinitley not within the near future..

The Lawyer & The Redneck
A lawyer and a redneck are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer is thinking that rednecks are so dumb that he could get one over on them easy.
So the lawyer asks if the redneck would like to play a fun game. The redneck is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists, "This game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5. You ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."
Put your ad here!
This catches the redneck's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, agrees to play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The redneck doesn't say a word, reaches in his pocket pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the redneck's turn. He asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer uses his laptop, searches all references. He uses the airphone, he searches the Net and even the Library of Congress. He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After an hour of searching he finally gives up. He wakes up the redneck and hands him $500. The redneck pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes up the redneck and asks, "Well, what does go up a hill with three legs and come down with four?" The redneck reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.

My Morning Devotion
I can't help but to be troubled since waking up this morning and finding out who our new President will be. So I went to the only one who can help me, the Lord. I started doing my devotions through a program called Sword Searcher and it gives me a daily devotion each day.
Today was:
Is 54:17
"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."
So here's my thoughts on this:
There is no weapon that can ruin the saints. People have tried to persecute, condemn, kill, rise above and prosper over christian people for years and it never works and it never lasts.
So this is our heritage from the Lord as Christian people. There is still hope!! We get our righteousness from the Lord not people!!
Well I just thought I would share my thoughts this morning and may this help you through your day also!!
