Not Me Monday

I do NOT have Johnny Cash at the top of my play list and listen to his songs almost weekly while doing housework.

Stay Afloat

This past weekend we spent some time at the pool.
Caden was showing off his wonderful back floating ability.

Carter on the other hand decided he needed to have some help to stay up (his feet kept sinking).......

Craft Supplies

Your son may have a love of crafts like you if.....

 You send your boys to spend a few days with the grandparents. he finds an empty toilet paper roll at their house.  he then packs it in his bag to bring home. 

"We could use it for something" I was told.  Yes we can son, yes we can.

Happy 1st Birthday Cannon!

It's no secret that I absolutely LOVE to plan a party.  Especially if it's to celebrate one of my little ones turning another year older.  Even though I know Cannon B will not remember his first birthday party, we have lots of pictures to prove that he had one and had a blast!

Cannon has been our best eater yet and so far he's not a picky eater at all.  So a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme was perfect!

In the form of a very hungry caterpillar wreath, a picture from each month of his first year.

Cannon is a HUGE fruit eater and the fact that the first 5 foods the caterpillar eats in the book is fruit made for perfect party food.

 

Of course you can't just have fruit :)

Thanks to my mother-in-law and Ann's Balloons we had an adorable very hungry caterpillar balloon arch.

 

 

Outside entertainment - feed the hungry caterpillar

Caterpillar Croquet

 

Thanks to the help of my wonderful sister, we pulled off a caterpillar cake

 

and smash cake for little man.

He had no problem diving right in!

Happy 1st Birthday Cannon B!

Not Me Monday

I do not keep toys at the end of the baby's crib so that when he wakes up he can have play time.  I do not do this so that it gives me just a few more minutes before I get him up after he wakes up in the morning or at nap time.

It does NOT drive me batty that I continue to compare myself to other women thinking about and striving to be like them instead of Christ. I do NOT pray daily for this sin.

Not Me Monday

I did NOT absolutely LOVE when I got to go purchase a new planner along with new pens.  (I don't do January to December, I get new ones to go along with the school year).  I also do NOT like the way it looks when I use the same pen throughout the planner therefore I do NOT do my best to only use one type pen.
