Random Friday ~~

Well Good Beautiful Friday Morning to Y'all!!!!!

Yep, still here.

I know I haven't posted ALL WEEK,

and I don't even have a really good reason why.....

other than I've been really busy.....

Lots of things going on.....

Anyway.....

All is well and I am back to writing and VLOG-ing =)

So here we go.....

*****

Okay so I feel I MUST start with Sir Cuteness.....

This boy is a one-of-a-kind, kind of Cuteness.

Sir Cuteness has been on fortified iron vitamins for a long time.

I keep hoping they will take the boy off those awful, black liquid, craziness

and give him some tasty gummy chewables or something,

but so far, it's been all black, disgusting liquid.

So I thought I'd get smart this week and sneak them in his morning apple juice with breakfast.

I made sure that I was on the other side of the kitchen, so he couldn't see me,

and I put them in there, shook it up and brought it to him like normal.

He took a drink, and then another, and boy was I in trouble =)

He said, "Gamma, I told you not to put that black stuff in my juice!!" 

(insert very mean, very cute, but very mean looking face =)

(Oh and also insert, he didn't tell me, he didn't even know =)

So I laughed and told him I couldn't get anything past him.....

still mean, little ole cute face, now with hands on hips =)

And he said he didn't want it.

I explained to him he was going to have to drink it, either in the juice or just out of the dropper

(with me chasing him down of course, because that is what it had come to!)

So he decided juice was better.....SCORE!!!  =)

Then at lunch time he said, "Gamma, I need some juice, but this time NO black stuff!!"  =)

Oh how I love this boy!!!!!

*****

So the last three weeks of the month, one day of the week, our library has story time for littles.

So Sir Cuteness and I have started going over and "Shaking Our Sillies" out, among other things =)

Well after we do that, and the "Hokey Pokey" and read a few stories and a craft and play on the flannel board and talk to Miss Adrian, we play in the kid's area in the Library itself.

So we had headed out, and he started playing.  There were lots of Littles around because of Story Time, so he was having fun watching them and even interacting a little bit.

Well there was this one little boy about a year or a year and a half younger than Sir Cuteness.

Well Sir Cuteness had a little chunky car he was playing with that came out of the bin, and this little boy came over and picked it up. 

Sir Cuteness looked at him and then at me and said, "He has my car." 

I assured him it would be okay and he could play with something else,

when Sir Cuteness walked over to the bins, grabbed out a monkey glove (for 5 Little Monkey's Jumping on the Bed) and headed over to this little boy.

He went right over to him and very gently and sweetly said,

"Here is your Monkey Glove."

(Ummm.....Okay.)

The little boy lays down the car, grabs the Monkey Glove, looks at his mama and starts playing.

Sir Cuteness grabs the car and comes over to me and starts playing once again like nothing ever happened.

The mama looks at me and said,

"That was brilliant!!" 

Insert BIG smile!!!

To which I smiled back and said,

"I'm sorry!"

To which she said,

"No really.  That was brilliant.  That's the best thing I've seen ALL day!!" 

Insert another BIG SMILE!!!

And no children were crying or snatching toys or anything.

Way to figure it out Sir Cuteness.

You and your awesome reasoning skills.

Insert BIG SMILE!!!!!  =)

So in other news:

Mr. Winslow and I will be headed back down to Hemmed-In Hollow tomorrow.

*****

And in other news:

I started a new four week Bible study this week through "The Women's Bible Cafe".

It is Beth Moore's "Loving Well".

Oh can I just tell you.....

This is SO good!!!

Let me just give you a quote from the book:

"No one has ever seen God, but when we love beyond our abilities, people will see Him in us."

Amen.

If you are in need of a shorter study to do before Beth Moore's James study comes out in November,

this may be the one for you.

Love.

You download the video's for $4.99 ea from Lifeway and watch one a week

and work in the journal.

It is so personal and relevant.

I am LOVING it so far!!!

In other news:

My washer is broke.

I'm headed back to the laundry mat this morning.

It is costing a FORTUNE to go to the laundry mat.

$1.25 for ONE load to wash.

.25 for 8 MINUTES of drying time.

I had 5 loads and spent $10.50.

I've over it.

Anyway.....

In other news:

Dak and I are gonna have coffee at Hebrews.....

(Y'all really need to come to MO just for Hebrews,

and why your here, stop by and see me =)

Anyway.....

And then we're gonna head over to get him some Dorm Snacks.

Boy needs to eat and he's out of snackage.

So I'm gonna help a brother out!  =)

I love him so!!!!

My heart is so tender towards him and I can't wait to get a little time with him today.

And then after I take him back (he doesn't have classes on Friday),

I'm gonna pick up Leggs.

And we are going shopping.

So happy to oblige!!

Then she is coming back home with me and we get to hang out this evening.

YAY for College Babe Time!!

In other news:

Yesterday, I did a Vlog for you on a project I started Wednesday evening and completed Thursday afternoon.  It was quick and easy and I LOVE the finished project,

well almost finished project.....

Well, I hope y'all have a Blessed and Beautiful weekend!!

I love you so ~~

Ephesians 3:16 "I pray that out of His glorious riches, you will be strengthened in power through His Spirit in your inner being."

Some Fun Stuff Going On ~~

WOW!!  We have had so many fun things going on the last few days.

I wanted to get this video up over the weekend, so I won't feel behind, but it didn't happen.

On Saturday, I got to spend the first half of my day with Dak and Alyssa.  It was SO much fun!!!

We had coffee at Hebrew's Coffee and did a little shopping and had lunch at McAlister's.

It was a fun day!!

Then Saturday afternoon my mom and Georgia came over and we BBQ'd and then our little town had fireworks, and we watched them right from our house.  So fun!!

Well, my knee is feeling so much better that today I cleaned out a closet and did a fun project for my table for 4th of July.  I will be showing you that soon too (hopefully tomorrow =)

Well for today, I wanted to share with you this video that I made about a fun and useful project to me. 
I made this book out of a scrap piece of cardboard for the base. 

WOW what a girl can do with cardboard =)

Not all of it is out of one piece of cardboard, but the main pages are and I added (and still adding) lots of fun pages and elements.

So enjoy!!

Love you ~~

Breakfast with Kale ~~ the Video ~~

Good Morning my beautiful blog readers.

I am really liking the Vlog thing.....since I'm limited on time right now.....

I can put these together of things I really want to blog about, but don't have time to sit down and write a post, add pics, edit and post. 

So this is a GREAT alternative to that right now, but I will be doing written posts with pics too...... 

So this morning I went out to the garden to water and spend a few mins out there and I saw my beautiful kale and decided that it is what I'd have for Breakfast.

So here I am with the kale and a yummy breakfast.....

Enjoy.....

Now, if you have any questions about this type of diet, I am no expert but will certainly try to help with any questions you might have.  If you are just wanting to eat healthier and have some questions, please leave them in the comments or e-mail me and I'd be just happy happy to help you out if I can.

Thanks so much for visiting and have a Blessed and Beautiful Day ~~

Me and my knee ~~ The Video =)

Have I shared with y'all how much I am lovin' the new and improved, working with me, blogger?

It is making me smile right now.

Why? You ask?...  Well, because I went to download the video that I made for y'all yesterday and there it was.  Right in youtube, and I could go right to my account.  How cool is that?

So I made another video yesterday tell you all about my doc's appt, but it is so windy, I just have to laugh at myself.  That and the fact I'm still learning angles.  But anyway, it was fun to do and I hope you can hear it alright with all the wind.

I mean it was SERIOUSLY windy yesterday. 

But anyway I hope you enjoy it ~~

And I know ~~ a lot to take in, but I TOTALLY have a plan, okay let me rephrase....

God TOTALLY has a plan and I'm following that One.  It is the ONLY ONE that makes ANY sense. 

I needed this appointment to really put this whole thing in perspective.

My plan?  Oh yeah.........

Well you'll just have to stay tuned.....

As I am a work in progress =)

Love you all ~~ have a Blessed day ~~
