Y’all may have been wondering if I’ve fallen off the face of the earth, but no, I’m still here.
Life has gotten a hold on me and I’ve been focusing on my family and responsibilities and also having a little fun shopping with my tax money. So if you don’t hear from me the rest of the week don’t be alarmed… I will return.
Here is one of the reason’s I’m a little busier.

Have you ever tried to keep a 3-year-old from hurting a fractured collar-bone? No bike riding, no slides, no parks, no running and no jumping (I call him Frog he jumps so much). Not an easy task!
About a 1-1/2 weeks ago he fell and fractured his collar-bone. Keeping him from running and jumping is hard enough then his brother is having a hard time not rough housing like normal. For the most part Samuel (4-year-old) is taking real good care and being gentle with Jonny (3-year-old), but not all the time. He’s slipped on the floor a few times and I feel so bad for him when he gets up crying that it hurt. It makes me want to cry. My poor baby.
The cute little Teddy Bear was given to him in the ER, made by a local church. I love that it’s Handmade. It was his pal for about 3 nights then it had a string and he messed up one of the eyes when he tried to pull it out. Now it’s been gifted to his big brother. At least it’s loved by someone.
On another note….
I hope that you all had a wonderful Valentines… Tell me what you got for Valentine’s…
I got 4 brand new tires on my van
a new set of sheets for all three beds in the house
a kitchen scale
a trash can (I know I’m easy to please, but I was hanging grocery bags on the cabinets and it was driving me nuts)
a compost can
and some new clothes
Ok well most of that was just what my hubby got for me because we got our tax money already, but I got all this during the week leading up to Valentine’s so… I’m pretending he got me all that to show me how much he loves me.
But the best gift of all was THIS!

My honey made this with the boys while I was at church Sunday evening. My heart melted when I saw how excited the boys were when they yelled “Happy Valentine’s” while jumping up and down and saying “We made this sign for you”. Then they went into detail about the paint and the glue and how they each helped Daddy make it.
I love all three of my boys and they made this the best Valentine’s Day that I’ve ever had.
