A few random thoughts.....

I have some cute pictures of the boys to add, but for tonight, I'm just going to post my ramblings for the day. My college basketball coach used to send out emails with a list of things he wanted to talk about, either with bullets or using #'s to make the list.....tonight, I will use bullets....or asterisks (however the heck that word is spelled!)

*I forgot to mention in my last blog that on Black Friday, I got pulled over by a state trooper. I was going way too fast on the interstate, so I definitely deserved to be pulled over. But being a wife of a police officer, you can probably guess what happened ;)

**Levi is at this stage in his life where he can drive me absolutely bonkers one second and the next say one of the funniest things that makes me just flat out lose it. Today out of the blue, he says, "Mommy, do dogs take cat naps?" He then gave me no time to answer him, but instead answered himself..."NAH, only CATS can take cat naps!" I have no clue where that one came from!

***Last night Levi was taking his bath when I heard what sounded like Hurricane Katrina going off in the bathroom. I rushed over to find water all over the bathroom floor, and what Im guessing had been previously pretty huge waves were, by that time, beginning to settle in the tub. He was also holding onto his lego boat...so my mind was already getting the picture of what had been going on. I gave him that stern motherly look of mine and said, "what in the world is going on in here???" He excitedly told me, "LOOK Mommy!!! JESUS CALMED THE SEA!!!!!" I about lost it, LOL LOL LOL! He then explained to me that the waves had been "HUGE ONES", but the men in the boat called out "LORD LORD! and then Jesus came and saved them" I promise I'm not making one bit of that up!!! I'm so excited that he has been understanding some of the bible stories he's learning!

****So today Anthony was coming down the stairs with Colt....I was in the kitchen making his lunch when all of a sudden I heard this HUGE CRASH from the stairs.....I rushed over to find Anthony laying on the steps and Colt laying in the middle of the floor screaming!!! It seriously SCARED ME TO DEATH!!!!! There was juice everywhere as well. I quickly picked up Colt to make sure he was okay...which he was....I think he was just scared too. Anthony was okay too, thank the Lord. It really could have been a lot worse, however when Anthony fell, he fell backwards so that Colt could just go on top of him. But I gotta tell ya, I thought for sure Colt had flown threw the air and landed on the floor when I got to him. You would think that a college athlete like Anthony could handle walking down the stairs!!! The juice was from the cup that Anthony was carrying from Levi's room. It went everywhere, but wasn't too much of a mess to clean up. After I found out everyone was okay....I think we both laughed about it for at least 10 good minutes!

*****My random thought of today....so I was shopping this morning and had to pick up some laundry detergent. Is it just me, or does anyone else think its absurd that the jugs claim to wash 32 loads?? I'd like to know what person gets that many loads of laundry done out of one of those bottles...seriously, is the person just washing one towel and a pair of underwear per load????

******And after all of these random thoughts, I will leave you with the verse that was on my heart today....

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future." Jer. 29:11

I love this verse because it reminds me that no matter where I am in life...no matter what happens in my life, that God is in control. :)

Stay tuned for those pictures...I'll try and get them up sometime soon!
