One of mine

Friday night one of my girls got married. I met her when she was just 15. She and her friends were in my small group when they were in high school. Now, they are off getting married, graduating college, attending Law School in Boston, living in Hollywood and who knows what else! WOW! These girls are amazing. So while I was at the wedding, I got to catch up with one of them that I hadnt seen since high school graduation. I loved it and I love them! These girls truly are one of mine!

Good guy, Bad guy - a work in progress

So the other day, I heard Haven crying. From the sound, I could tell that it most likely had to do with Justus not acting rightly towards her. Sure enough when I got to the scene and asked Justus (which, I have to say, he is always very honest) what happened, he told me "I hit Sis" Well, we all know that is unacceptable. So I proceeded my mom talk of how that is not acceptable and he would be punished. In his response, he told me he was a bad guy, that is why he hit her. As I inquired further I realized that in his VeggieTales movie, there are bad guys that do bad things. I continued by telling him that bad guys get punished but good guys get rewarded. That Jesus likes it when we are good, that makes Him happy. That people dont like to be around bad guys. Well, since then, I continue to bring the concept up to him. However he still thinks he wants to be a bad guy - I guess its a work in progress!

It was...and not as bad as I thought

Justus really did get sick. He was a little pukey and a whole lot of not himself - no energy. Havens sunburn turned out to just be a little heat rash - so not as bad as I thought. Both kids look like they are in the clear as far as tummy bug. Lets hope so.....

Could it be?? And bad Mommy moments

Could it be that Justus is now getting sick? Here he is on the couch this morning. He didnt eat breakfast - which is not my son - he laid around all morning. He spoke hardly at all unless it was a whine/cry. No happy noises, no laughter. So sad.

Then I realized that when I put sunscreen on Haven yesterday, I missed parts of her shoulders and neck. And we spent all morning at the pool. Poor thing - now she has sunburn. To top it off, she is cutting a molar. Misery!

Sticks

That is Haven speak for stickers. She loves her some stickers. Whenever we go to In-n-Out, they always get stickers. She puts them all over her - on her arm, leg, back, belly - where ever she can reach.

All Church Picnic

Saturday our church had a picnic. They had bbqed tri-tip, chicken, hot dogs. Everyone brought sides or a dessert. It was yummy. The funnest part tho was the bounce houses they had and the water bounce houses and a dunk tank. Justus loved the one that you got on a slid down all in the water. He had a blast. His friend Reece was there to and they just played and played. I got to help some which kept me cooled off. Then the big kids took Justus and Reece down the big slide that had water. That is one thing I love about our church, the big kids are very nice and helpful. What fun!!

icky sicky

Haven woke up last night at midnight and puked all over. Luckily Neil happened to hear her and went in to investigate. She was sitting all in it so Neil got her out. She wasnt crying or anything. But she was so nasty smelling. So I took her and gave her a bath. Then of course I had to stay up with her to watch her. She proceeded to be sick for the next 2 hours, letting me know every 10-15 mins, if you catch my drift. Then finally around 2am she fell asleep out in the living room. I moved her to her crib about 3am where she puked once more and then fell back asleep. Poor thing, she was such a trooper tho. Then this morning I got her up she was doing better and I started her on Pedialite. Then after nap she had a 102 fever. Poor girl. But she is looking up. Still on Pedialite, but not puking. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Here are some pics from today. She was so mellow all day, you could tell she was icky, sicky. And, for the record, this is the first time shes been sick like this.
