for where your treasure is...

today the boy's fever broke.  5 days of fighting a fever.

finally did a kroger run.

kroger value toilet paper - not a value.  it may be a couple dollars cheaper, but do yourself a favor and buy charmin on sale.

chewing on this today - something my friend for life posted on fb - my nearly organized. really pretty, bargain bought hoard

for where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

i have two kids  - live in America.  we live on one income and we have toys and clothes galore.  well, the kids do.  (3/4 of my clothes don't fit anymore or at least they won't for another year).  lots of hand me downs.  lots of blessings.  lots of chances to bless others.

there are children starving right now.  i know we've heard this before.

but, there are children starving right now.

i've been reminded of this a lot this year and it's not sitting well.

so, that's what elmo's been thinking about today.  da da da dahhh.  that song is so catchy!  my kids love it and i think elmo is fine, but that song is driving me bonkers.

i promised pics - here are a few.

 she loves to be outside.  "side side!"

she loves her sidewalk chalk.  gets it all over her body.  she wants to color me too.  it's not enough for her to color alone.  mommy must color (kah) with her.  sometimes i have had enough of coloring and i say no.  this doesn't go over well.  she loves her crayons and chalk.  will was nothing like that!  

cooling off in front of the a/c vent.  we had been at the park and it had been very warm that day.  she does like to sit in front of the vents though anyway.

had to get away to the mountains last weekend.  this was right before will got so sick.  or i think he had already started to get sick but was enjoying himself anyway.  who has time for a virus when you're in the mountains and there's water and paddleboats and mountain music!

he's so handsome!

glad i packed the bathing suits.  the water wasn't even very cold at all.
