fun times on the funny farm!!

you should have seen her face when i told her they mayo was going in her hair... she thought i was nuts!  but, she was so good about it.  i put her to bed on an old pillow and old sheets.  she was so upset the next morning when it was all over the pillow.  i told her i was planning to throw the pillow out, so it was okay!  so cute...

being silly at yogurtland... we HAD to get out of the house with our lice, but no one wanted to play with us... so we drove 45 minutes to their favorite froyo!!

sweet boy... in his sweet browns get up!  that's his bow and arrow he's holding..

another froyo trip... this time after whole foods...

it was so rainy and there were so many waterfalls... you can't see them here, but it was beautiful!

he fell asleep so fast this night... it was so cute!!!

watching the ship come in.  they have been gone a lot the past few weeks, so we are looking forward to them being around!!!  plus, it's just fun to watch the ship go by!

being silly!

watching and waiting!  it's all fun and games till someone goes in the water!

wonderful that i happened to catch this shot!

a new dress... she made her brother pose that way with her....  sweet kids!

she wanted her hair in curlers.  and to take a pic with me.

i was writing in my journal this morning about how i feel like i am failing so much of the time.  it was really a prayer and asking God to bless my parenting.  and as i wrote that, looking for reassurance, even in my own mind, that i'm okay, that it's not as bad as i think, i realized...  i am failing.  and i will continue to fail.  if i just depend on me.  if I try to do it all.  i cannot be a good parent.  i will fail that test every day of the week.  but, God won't.  and when i depend on Him, He will succeed!  what a reassuring thought!!!

so, it's monday...  and a short week.  and a fun, holiday week!  what are you doing to celebrate our freedom?
