"What went on."

Borrowing from my Blogger Buds, I too, shall post What Went On (since it is now after 9 p.m.) on Thursday and they do it on Wednesday.



I took my two little boys to school this morning since Gavin had made an edible cell. This project turned out to be really fun- and sugary! We went with the chocolate chip cookie cell with a bluberry muffin nucleus. Jelly beans, sprinkles & twizzlers were various other parts to our 'cell.' Peyton, my OCD child, does not like to be driven to school. He feels he is late because he isn't in his classroom as early. It takes many explainations that we are ON TIME and still, he does worry. He does not belong to me! (J/K)



When I returned, I cooked hubby & myself a nice little breakfast. I don't like to eat as soon as I get up- so I don't eat breakfast with my kiddos.


We got back on our project we started last night- putting together my computer desk. I am so excited about it. Not only is it going to look great in my kitchen/den, but I can actually have a place for my 'stuff.'



We started this project last night and told the boys they could see it when they woke up today. Well, it didn't work out as planned, but it reminds me of recent warblings of Peyton. He is so into using his new vocabulary words. I think it is so cute. Here are some recent conversations.



Peyton gets quiet the other evening.



Me: Peyton, where'd you go? (you have to ask this if he is quiet- he is his own soundtrack if you know what I mean.)

Peyton: (with head resting in his palm): I'm just sitting here being tranquil

Me: Well, you sure are.



So today....

ME: No, the desk isn't finished and let's not touch it because it isn't very sturdy.

PEYTON: Oh, I see. It is fragile.

ME: Yeah- you could say that.

PEYTON: Well, I'm just wondering if there is going to be any precipitation today.

ME: The ground already has a lot of dew- so that should do it for today I hope.



Is that hilarious or what?



So, I worked on organizing my little area. I cooked lunch for us. I delivered some photo buttons I made for various folks. I picked Peyton up early from school. He hates this also, but he needed it today. We ate a smoothie and had some Mom & Me time. When Gavin got home, he and Larry worked on planting green fields to feed the deer. They worked very hard and got home in time to scarf down my supper. Hamburger steak, mac and cheese, Northern beans- in case you were wondering. I continued to work on my kitchen. (I have a lot of stuff apparently.) Casey came home from his night class and now we have brushed our teeth, said our prayers and they are reading which turns into bedtime.



In the morning we are having a Chicken and Dumpling Plate sale at the church. We will be cooking/delivering around 100 plates to various businesses in town. We are raising money for our Youth Retreat that is coming up. We will also be checking in on my best friends son who is having a minor heart procedure in the morning.

So, I guess my busy day is over. I love to stay busy without feeling frazzled. Tomorrow will be frazzled. I'll let everyone know if I survived!!


Today we praise the Lord for :

a good report from Bro. Bill's heart cath,

great grades for Casey & Gavin,

a wonderful day yesterday and today with my hubby



Nighty, night!

Peyton is SO funny! Thanks for the chuckles today :). Oh, and, could you mail me a plate of those chicken & dumplings? I'll pay for the shipping and handling! :)

I sure would if I could!

Peyton is funny. It is a gift. He has been our ray of light in some dark days. God sure knew that children were a great way to start people!
