Psalm 73:28 : January in Texas

This week has been nothing short of Amazing in terms of the weather. 60's - 70's during the day this week. It has been beautiful. I know there are many who are wishing for the cold weather, but I am pleased with what we are currently being blessed with.

The boys and I were able to get out Friday and goof around outside for quite a while. I cut both the boys' hair first, then let them run wild in their undies... every mans dream. :)

Mason had a great week until Friday. Well, Monday I forgot to send his folder to school. So right when he got in the car he said "I got a sad face" "but I didn't do anything". He then told me that I had not put his folder in his bag, which led him to not get a sticker that day. We had just talked over the weekend about how he had 9 stickers and Monday he would get to get his 10th if he had a good day.

I. felt. awful. Oh my goodness. When he began telling me that he could not get his 10th sticker he just began to cry uncontrollably. When they get 10 stickers they are able to pick out something from the treasure chest. This particular day his teacher had disc shooters to hand out for those who had completed their sticker chart. Mason was completely devastated that he was not able to get the disc shooter that day. I of course apologized to him multiple times, and told him that it was ok because it was Mommy's fault. That sweet little boy said "It's ok mommy, it's not your fault". Poor guy, he was heart broken!! Needless to say as soon as I got home that day I put the folder in the bag, and I do not plan to EVER forget it again!! :-/

Ok, so back to Friday. The teacher had told me when I picked him up that he had to sit for a little bit during center time because she had asked him many times before then, and also that day to not play fight or pretend to kill people. I'm torn with this as far as handling it. I completely agree with the teacher for sitting him out, and that it should not be allowed at school. Completely Agree. My dilemma is at home. Mason LOVES to watch and act out avengers.. Super Heroes. In the Avenger episodes the Super Heroes kill the bad guys... harmless, I think. However, since he does not need to be doing this at school, I am unsure was to allow him to watch it at home. Or if I should not allow him to pretend to "kill" people at home. I have always told him when he is playing with his Nerf guns to not point them right at people, and also to not say that he is going to kill people. That part has always been a NO NO. As far as when he plays with his action figures though, the Avengers, I do not get on to him when he uses the good guy to knock over the bad guy and says "stay away or we'll kill you." Maybe I should. Matt says' "He's just a boy, he's doing boy things" I agree, but then there is the you can do it here, but you can't there issue. Anyhow, I'm just blabbering... Enough about that. For now I have explained to him that he CANNOT play that way at school, so I sure hope he understands it.

Monday I was able to got and watch Jacob play basketball. :) Which means I also got to love on the Driessners! :) Makes me wish I had signed Mason up, but I'm not sure he would care to much about it. With Matt's schedule, (never home before 6 and 2 games a week - Home by 9-10 or so) Marc's Schedule ( 2 games a week and practice that ends between 4:30-5:30), and my picture schedule (completely random at the moment) I just wasn't sure we could get to practices/games. Also, like I said, he does not show much interest in it, but cannot stop asking about T-Ball. :-)

Matt only had one game this week, Friday, and they didn't win. :( Boo.

Marc and the team he plays on Aquilla, won both of their games this week. Yay

Ok, for my photo for the 3rd week of the My Four Hens "Project 52". The theme for this week was "Inspiration."

I chose this photo because these boys are my inspiration to do so many things! To be a better Christian Woman, a better Wife, a better Mother, a better Friend, a better Photographer, and so much more. They are amazing, and I am inspired by them!

Well, this week I can't really think of any funnies, and I have YET to write them down... goodness. I do remember one last week that I forgot to mention. This is R rated. :)

Just after Mason had used the bathroom he had asked if I would wipe his hiney... Yes I still do on occasion. He of course can on his own, but hey... I'm his mommy and I'll do whatever I need to. :)

So he usually bends over and sticks his head between my legs with his hiney there for me to wipe... well I had him just turn around and I did it that way he then says

Mason: " Mommy!! I wanted to get in your pants"

See... R rated!

Then just a minute ago Micah had ate a chip that Matt had, then Matt ended up finishing them. Micah was not happy about this he said

Micah: "My tummy is mad" ha.
