MATTHEW: Like It Grows On Trees!

Like It Grows On Trees!

Yesterday, all of a sudden it occurred to me that I should check on Kate because she was busy doing something... What--

Yep. She was busy alright! Her new thing is to throw things away... anything... as you can see. So focused on the task at hand...

Caught red handed, and Mommy so glad she could get some pictures of it before she was all done with her transports...

Hubs had left a wad of cash on the nightstand and apparently she found it, probably scattered it around the floor in the bedroom, then decided it should go in the trash. When I found it, there was already a huge pile in the trash, and she was still making trips back to the bedroom to get more.

I left it for Hubs to see, and later when I was fishing it out, "Whoa, there's lots of 20's in here!"... All done fishing, "Hey, she threw her socks away too!"

Needless to say we will be checking our trash frequently for a while. Not just the kitchen one either, today she threw away her crayon box, a Toys R Us gift card, and a pen... Right now it's cute, but I can see that it has the potential to be devastating if we don't put the "kibosh" on it right now.

As for me, I am living my dream married to the most wonderful man in the world. God is so faithful and blessed me above and beyond with Hubs and our children and our life together. I could not ask for or imagine more. My cup overflows. These days I stay very busy with the children. I also enjoy doing a Bible study and some coaching of track or basketball every once in a while. Just for me? I like to run, scrapbook, sew, give myself a pedicure, read, shop, and hang with my Honey or my girls . Coffee keeps me going, as the days fly by faster and faster all the time. I have also recently gotten to the age where I am realizing that I’m getting old, and it continually baffles me. Ha ha☺

Sweeters is two and a half now, going on 16. She recently got her first hair cut and her toes painted (just for fun). She loves “cow milk”, Cinderella, purses, lip gloss, and shoes (heels), and anything with sugar in it. She loves singing songs and coloring. She is an excellent little mommy and takes good care of her dollies. Her vocabulary is ever expanding and she is learning to write her name. She cracks us up with her antics all the time. She is of course totally brilliant, says Mommy and Daddy. She also loves to build with her blocks and wants a kitty for her birthday, just like Daisy Duck in her story book. Lucky for us she wants it to be a toy kitty, not a real kitty.

Bauskas is one now and such a big boy. He is taking steps and even initiating them on his own now, but not quite walking yet. We recently found out he needs glasses and will be getting them soon. He’s still a shrieker when he wants something, especially if his sister is holding it. His laugh is infectious. He will climb anything and he goes down the slide by himself on his tummy. He loves to get into my lotion basket and “color” (eat crayons) with sister when he can get away with it. He is quite the handsome, bouncy, busy little man.
