I can hardly believe it’s been ten whole years since I first held Brandon in my arms.<br />

What an amazing feeling to be handed my first child in that airport from the ladies who escorted him from The Home of God’s Love in Taiwan into his mama’s waiting arms. <br />

Almost daily there are times I have to squelch a smile about something he says or does. The icky sick bug has hit at our house and Ethan has a very stuffy nose. Our conversation at bedtime Monday night went a little like this:<br />
<br />
<br />
E: “So, Sinus’ are where my boogers life?”<br />
<br />
Me: “yes”<br />
<br />
E: “How medicine get up there?”<br />
<br />
Me: “It goes down to your tummy then travels up to your sinus’ to help get rid of the boogers.”<br />
<br />
E: “Its like a broom and sweep the boogers out?”<br />
<br />
Me: “Uh . . . yeah”<br />
<br />
E: “Drink water help get boogers out too?”<br />
<br />
Me: “Yes, drinking a lot of water helps you get better and get the boogers out”<br />
<br />
E: “Drink water flood the boogers out?”<br />
<br />
Me: “Getting lots of sleep helps a whole lot, so let’s get you tucked in so you can sleep and feel better tomorrow.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sometimes you just have to change the subject a little so you don’t laugh out loud.<br />
<br />
I’m am very thankful for two munchkins who keep me laughing as we work our way through life.<br />

This year with homeschooling both of the munchkins I have instituted “Fun and Food Friday’s” where we do some sort of fun project, or a cooking activity. Munchkin #2 loves to help me in the kitchen and it is such a good learning activity for him that I love letting him help.<br />
<br />
<br />
Today for “Fun and Food Friday” we dipped Oreo’s and pretzels. <br />
<br />
Let me tell you . . .<br />
<br />
A fun and messy time was had by all.<br />

This morning he was finally out of his misery. I told Brand he had flipped his last, and he replied "It's too bad he couldn't live to flip another day."<br /><br />But all is not lost. Our 13 babies from a month ago are getting big, and I saw three more babies in the tank this morning. I knew that Mollies were life bearers and thought it would be neat if we could see them giving birth, but little did I know that they have the ability to remain pregnant and have more babies every month for five or six months. Can you believe it? this time I am not sticking the babies in the little mesh cage so they are protected. It's survival of the fittest in our tank now.<br /><br />Another fish earned a new name last month. We now have "Big Mama" in our tank, I don't think anyone remembers the names of any of the other fish anymore. Brandon did suggest today we rename her "Baby Mama" but I think we'll stick with Big Mama.<br /><br />Anybody want some fish?

No but I could . . . to myself. Then he decided I needed to wait and he'd get me different books to read by myself. He brought them out and said "Here you go. Read these. Be quiet, don't wake up Dad. Here Mufasa (Lion King) and Star Wars. Now be quiet." He started walking away then came back.

Everyone gets a ribbon at the end. Ethan's was for Best Trotting!!! This was his third session total, and the first this year. He really has learned a lot and done a great job.<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz3sKoTqVn4cqsP_YGen1qelcCxm_pBc6xxNFylTEqNWw74psxExknoEA_GSqphfLkxeGkS3XLnA8w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><br /><br /><p align="center"></p><br /><br /><p align="center"><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzwazOjPLnvn3RrKhTM6H1XyFBGICq5Ur31yRpOI7ySj7pa85eMWtN3fpNI_m47u7dIsDaNDGXAdMU' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><br /><br /><p align="center"></p><br /><br /><p align="center"><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz5GokGO-1zmFF4wczS2v3nYrbwkhA_ArTFRFUl2I1Kr8tIyAUjzVeEgEyn_M3I6DQCjZXAvyW3dA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We ended up using the chair a lot more at the end because one of Ethan's braces actually broke and was starting to hurt his leg. That is tough plastic so I was very surprised it happened. They should be able to order another under warranty but right now it's duct taped together so it won't pinch him until we can get the replacement. Ethan wanted to see the jaguars but he was asleep at that point and they weren't out. They both loved dragging Mommy to see the snakes.
