Strange Happenings

What has been going on lately? Well, more like what hasn't been going?
Complete chaos.
I mentioned early on that I'm a secretary twice over. One of those secretaries is for my church and it's been a study stream of overwhelment for the past month.



There was constant going from that and outings with Caleb (guilt from being occupied with that)

Then my children appeared to be in a race to see who could get banged up the fastest. First, Caleb ran into the water fountain at the park...second black eye, attempted to fly across the room from the bed....huge knot on it.


Both have gone down a lot in this picture. However, you can still see a little purple on his eyelid and scratch on the side of the head.

Cate got the stomach virus and was slighly sick for a week. After almost a whole week and it hadn't gone away, I made a doctor's appointment. Of course she got better within an hour after seeing the doctor that Friday. Figures. Then, she ran straight into the open car door last Sunday after church. That was the scarriest thing I had ever seen! She ended up with a big knot and small cut on her forehead.



And to top it off AJ ended up being admitted to the hospital for 5 days and out of school for a total of 7 days with a staph infection in his finger.



There will be a separate blogpost this week about it because there is surely a moral to this story.

Pretty chaotic, huh? To be honest, every single year around time for our church's spring revival....all hell breaks loose. The whole church seems to be under attack. Every year. I kid you not. Oh well. I bind that up! We're still going.

All the minions are doing well and happy and I pray everything calms down for a bit. Well, at least gives us time to regroup. In the meantime, we're going to be of good cheer.

Caleb Turns Three

On May 4, our big boy turned 3 years old! Can you believe it?! My little bug is growing all up and I am only half liking it.



He was very excited to be turning three and everything you give him needs to come in sets of three...because he's three. Lol.



I made him this number shirt the night before using fabric, adhesive and sew around the edges. He was very happy to point out to everyone that he was wearing a birthday shirt. His birthday was on a Sunday and we decided to let him go like this to church.



So after church, we decided to have an impromptu party. However, not before going by both grandma's houses because they would have likely had a fit if they didn't see him on his birthday. Then because I did some non- expert planning for this birthday, we headed to Walmart to buy gifts that evening.



Our mini party spread.



Of course the cupcakes were the favorite or shall I say the icing. Lol. I've never liked icing. I have to scrape it all off and then eat the cake. Of course the kids think I'm weird.





Then we decided to finally convert the crib into a toddler bed. I've been stalling forever, afraid he was going to fall out and no amount of pillows on the floor would help. To make matters worse, I initially tried to remove the side myself about 40% sure I knew what I was doing and about 100% sure Caleb would have to sleep with us that night. Lol. However, the hubs saved the day.



We bought one of these mesh thingies to keep him from falling out and he has been doing great in his "big boy" bed.



Aren't sleeping babies just precious!
