If You Were a Five Year Old Girl...
What sorts of pictures would be on your digital camera?
Yea, that'd be about right. Enjoy the photographic talent of my five year old.

Another Thing to be Proud of...
As rotton as I felt yesterday, I still managed to be somewhat productive. (And as long as Mat wasn't going to let me sleep, I might as well have gotten something done...)
That's right, FIVE STINKIN' scrapbook pages! Let me tell you, if you're at all behind in your scrapbooking and need some motivation? You NEED to get the Everyday Power Palette from Creative Memories. There's enough in there do complete a whole scrapbook and still have some left over! And the best part? Everything co-ordinates! I have quite a bit of cheap-o Dollar Store stuff, and sometimes even the stuff in the same pack doesn't even match! So if you're like me and you're ready to fill your long, stuck inside, freezing cold days doing something productive, go here and order an Everyday Power Palette for yourself!

Oh, My Aching Body!
It's amazing how one day you can feel just fine-good, in fact-and the next feel like you hit a freight train.
As I type this with my freezing cold fingers, I can consciously feel every part of my body. My feet ache, my back aches. My head and neck ache. When Seth or one of the kids touches me, I can feel a surge run through my sore body. My eyes are all red and bloodshot.
But good news: Lunchtime is about to conclude, and then my two older children will be off to dreamland. The bad news? Mathias just awoke from an hour and a half morning nap and I don't forsee him settling back in between the sheets any time soon.
Well, I'll just make myself a cup of hot something-or-other and burrow into blankets on the couch. I'll pop in our taping of IDOL last night and pull Mat and his bouncer right up next to me. And, hopefully, I can catch some healing ZZZs.

V-Day 2008
We had a really fun day this past Thursday. The morning was spent planning and executing our grand Valentine's Day Lunch Banquet! Madison loved being involved in surprising her Daddy when he came home from lunch. (Malachi's time was rather spent playing with toys in his bedroom.) So upon arrival, Daddy was met with abundant heart-shaped gourmet that promised to tickle his palate.
After work, Seth took me to supper at a restaurant that is notorious for it's

(and, of course, it's decadent Spinach and Artichoke Dip) but fortunately, our order was expedited very swiftly, and we were out the door in no time! We made it back to town in time for the early showing of FOOLS GOLD

Hey Strangers!
My appologies for neglecting my faithful 2 readers! :D You know, when one works from home, the last thing one wants to do is spend more time than necessary on one's computer! (And, regretfully, that includes blogging...)
But anyway, I'm here today to update you on the recent goings on in our family. One of the last times we spoke, I told you of Mathias' MRI appointment. Well, of course the results came back positive, (as in, "Good Results") and Mathias is going to be just fine! They said they could see where the bleed had occured on the sub-arachnoid portion of his brain, but that it was healing nicely. So other than a bout with Thrush, which left a crazy diaper rash, Mathias is a happy, healthy little boy! PRAISE THE LORD!
We recently registered Malachi for preschool, and he couldn't be more excited! He keeps reminding me that he'll need a backpack for school next year. (Oh yea! Good thing you reminded me Malachi, I might have forgotten! :D) His newest favorite toy is a Nintendo 64 my cousin gave to us for Christmas. He's always asking if he can play "Mario Party" and his favorite character is "Lily-oshi", which, I'm pretty sure is Luigi... or is it Yoshi?
Madison has become quite interested in gymnastics lately, (more on that later) and is often asking us to help her do a handstand or showing us her somersaults. She's quite helpful and is always willing to play with her little brothers to keep them happy when Mommy's busy. She's started to really enjoy drawing. We found an old drawing instruction book at Grandma's that she said Madison could have, so now she asks me to help her draw the various animals and structures in that book. She's pretty good, I think!
Perhaps the reason Madison likes gymnastics so much lately is that her daddy is the new JV Gymnastics coach for our school system! I know, I know-gymnastics?! But the program needed a strong guy for the job, and since Seth has previous coaching experience, they gave it to him! He really enjoys it and it seems the girls on the team are really glad he's there as well! Seth's also been really busy at work lately: finishing a couple of bigger jobs down in Texas, bidding new ones, he's been puting in a lot of overtime lately. And as if that doesn't make him busy enough, he's now added our church's Easter Program and the completion of our basement into the mix!
He's agreed, for the 3rd year now, to play "Doubting Thomas" in THE PROMISE at our church. With how busy he's been, he wouldn't have agreed to do it, save for the fact that the whole rest of his family is going to be involved this year! That's right, our Music Pastor has agreed to let Mathias be just another face in the crowd as my baby. The older kids voiced their interest to be children in the program, so I asked him if I could join the choir again and tote Mat around with me. It's something that hasn't been done before (a baby townsperson), but he seemed to like the idea. I'm actually really looking forward to it ;D.
The basement is really nearing completion! Seth and I worked on glueing/taping down most of the carpet last night, and we have one more piece to attach to the floor and then my sister can move in! Granted, we won't have the bathroom finished for her, and we still need to lay tile in the entry area, but it'll be finished enough to move her in. I'll have before/after pictures soon!
Well, hopefully that gets you up to date!
