Package Delivery!
Ellie's Kitchen came in the mail! This is her big Christmas present. Other than her stocking stuffers this is all Clay and I got her. Click here to look @ it.
Why did we pick this one over all the others out there?
~neutral colors
~comes with all the accessories
~wooden as opposed to plastic, it just looks better!
~FREE shipping!
~It is simple, some of the kitchens now are like the size of a small apartment kitchen :)
Thank you to the family members that pitched in, the Pearlsteins are going to have a lot of fun playing restaurant!

Brrrrr....
It is 8 degrees right now outside, I am looking forward to the high of 31 degrees. Praising God for a home and heat, and a little girl that loves to cut paper while I cut snow flakes to put on her windows. Which she thinks look amazing, it is fun crafting with her. Hoping you are enjoying Christ and His blessings, freezing though it may be today!
And, a BIG thanks to our friend Bryan Buie who fixed my blog last night (from his home in Michigan) --- thank you so much!

Government Song
I know, three posts in one day...but this song brought tears to our eyes and needs to be shared. :)

~Confession~
I have to confess something in order to tell a funny story. We have a mouse problem. Yes, I know, disgusting. It is not bad, we kill one here or there and then some time goes by and it starts over again. We had not seen any "evidence" lately so we thought we were good until the other night I was in the kitchen getting a snack :) and there he was. I HATE them. I am not scared of them anymore, I just think they are disgusting.
We have had a lot of success with the sticky traps. So, last night around 3 am or so I hear all this commotion in the kitchen. I was soooo happy! If you have ever had a mouse problem before you can relate to this weird joy of a small creature about to lose its life. So my wonderful, incredibly tired husband goes in there. Typically he gets a plastic bag throws the mouse that is stuck to the sticky trap in the bag and stomps it. If you know my husband this is not his nature. He is the type that could drink hot tea and read Lewis or Chesterton all day. But, like I said it is 3am and we want these things dead. Well...all of this did NOT happen. No, he goes in there and the mouse somehow got itself stuck under the oven, while still on the trap. All it sounded like was a war in the kitchen. A war between man and mouse. And...like someone was going to rip our oven to shreds. My husband gets the mouse, won the war, took him outside, washed his hands and came to bed. Where he proceeded to pick up where he left off, sleeping. I of course, am wide awake. "What happened???" He tells me...then he tells me he had to crush the mouse with his hand! He did not seem the least bit disturbed by this, I however felt nauseous. And afraid we were all going to die from gas poisoning because of how much he had to move the oven around, but he assured me we were not.
This morning my husband said, "I can't believe I crushed that mouse, it must have been because it was 3am." :)
Well, at dinner tonight my husband shared with our 2 1/2 year old little girl (who I might add is very sweet and girly) about his adventure last night. And the part I assumed he would leave out (the "hand crushing" part) he told her! And she said "yeh! And I killed him with my fork!" We started cracking up. Then my husband tried to get her to say, "meet your maker mouse." But she was done. So what does your family discuss over dinner, conversations here have been all over the map. That's all for now, Swiss Family is on so Mama is sneaking upstairs to wrap Christmas presents. Have a great night with your family!

Be Fruitful from~ Nancy Wilson
I enjoy Nancy Wilson's blog a lot. Not only because she is older and wiser but because she can write on a controversial subject tactfully and gently. This post, in my opinion, is well put and worthy to be read and thought through. If you disagree ask yourself why, and for what reasons. You might find that your reason's for not having babies is selfish, but maybe not. God said children are a blessing (and they are!) but He never implied that His blessings do not come without hardwork and sacrifice. Actually, this really isn't what the article is about, just check it out.
blog help...
Does anyone know how I can shift my text to the right a bit? I really want to keep this background, but not if it is going to look like this. Thanks!
