I apologize for being MIA. My laptop charger died and we can NOT seem to locate a replacement.
Trust me, I have SO much to ramble about from Chayce starting preschool, Jon's job transfer and us moving the vow renewal back a year due to us relocating this fall. Not to mention I'll be starting real estate school this winter. We're very busy, and I really am deprived not having a laptop. Bear with me and I hope to be up and running again in the upcoming weeks!

Nutmeg
Conversation with Chayce after I sprayed air freshener this morning.

HIM: "Mmmm.. Is that Cinnamon Mommy?"
ME: "No. It's Nutmeg. Smells good huh?"
HIM: "Ooohhh.. I LOVE nutbag!"
ME: "NutMEG, Chayce. It's nutMEG."
HIM: "Mmmm.. Is that Cinnamon Mommy?"
ME: "No. It's Nutmeg. Smells good huh?"

The Party & Gifts
The birthday party was fun! He had a great time with his friends and got some great gifts. We spent yesterday playing with a few of them.
Thanks to everyone who attended and for all of his great presents! Hope you had a great time, despite that bit of rain toward the end. LOL!
I'll share photos of the actual party on Facebook. Here's a FEW of the gifts he got though!

This thing is AMAZING! 2mpx with video and 3 video games included on the screen. And a little photoshop type thing on there as well to add funny frames and animations to the photos. Very neat device, which he hasn't put down! (From Jon's parents)
"Thomas Busy Day" Train Set (From Leighton and Family)
Moon Sand (From Landen, Teagan and Hilten)
He also got a few Hot Wheels, assorted toy cars, water guns (which he asked for!), and trucks.
His big gift from Mommy & Daddy was....
His very 1st Bicycle!

He had a great time and is very thankful for all of the great friends he has that came and the birthday cards and gifts!
Chayce, we love you and hope you enjoyed your day!

Tomorrow's the Day
After all the preparations, and a bit of frustration as we couldn't get a bouncehouse for it... Chayce's 4th Birthday party is TOMORROW!
In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't get the bouncehouse, as there's a 50% chance of rain tomorrow.
Which in Florida terms means: It's gonna pour!
But the circus party is underway, and I'm excited to see how Chayce reacts.
ALSO, I got his bicycle today! Yep, his very FIRST bike. My Canon will get it's use tomorrow I'm sure.

Isn't it Amazing...
Isn't it amazing how people wake up, get ready, feed their kids breakfast, head to work, work their job, come home, eat dinner with their family and actually have the nerve to be UNGRATEFUL? They say they're "bored" with their lives or aren't "content".
Sure it sounds like an everyday routine. But think about it.
Think about how many people DON'T have homes.
Think about how many couples CAN'T have children.
Think about how many people who have lost their spouse (or they are deployed!).
Think about how many people can't afford to feed their family dinner.
My point? Be grateful for what you have. Because in an instant it can be taken away from you. So shut up your whining already!

Tomorrow's Youth Group Game
Tomorrow's Lesson is on: Patience
However, we couldn't find a good game/icebreaker about that topic so our game is TOTALLY random.
The teens will be split into 2 teams. Each teammate will take a turn coming up to the table. They will each have a little "pie". (Whipped cream in a pie pan) The goal is to dig the cherry out of the pie without using their hands.
The hard part? (Besides not using their hands...) There will be other things IN the pie. Things not as sweet. A pickle slice, an olive, a red grape to confuse them.
The first team to get all of their teammates through their pies and getting all of their cherries out is the winning team.
Oh the joy. Oh the anticipation. Oh the MESS! :)
