Freedom!

I know with the 4th of July coming up your thinking "Oh a nice post about enjoying the freedoms of America." Nope. It's about my Glen running around naked. Yup, you read that right, naked. See I;m potty training right, which means less clothes then normal, but he is in the back yard, it enclosed and safe for him to run around with not much on. But sometimes, he wants just a little more freedom. Freedom from the gate, and freedom from clothes. At this point he takes off the few clothes he has on, climbs the fence and takes off stark naked. Kids run faster naked, right?

Can you imagine my mortification when my neighbor brought him back. I did not even know he was gone, but he had climbed the fence and taken off down the street. My neighbor, a nice little old man, saw him take off and ran after him bless his soul. Other times someone has seen him and told him to go back inside, or one of his friends will bring him home. He escapes so often I can't even tell you.

While it drives me crazy every time he makes a break for it, I can;t help but laugh. I mean, naked babies are cute! And I just wish I was a neighbor watching him climb the fence and take off in naught but the skin God gave him. :D

I even tried the scare tactic and told him about bad people that will steal him away and I'd never see him again and he might die and my heart would break into a million tiny pieces, but he wouldn't listen. He just told me in his faith-of-a-child way that I would hunt them down and kill them and it would be ok. So since nothing will work but keeping my eye on him 24-7 (Is that possible? I'm pretty sure he knows how to become invisible.) I just pray that he will be safe, trust in the goodness of neighbors, and pray that I will be close to the Spirit and follow promptings. Oh ya, and if it's too quiet, I'll go check for a pile of clothes.

Poor Computer, no, Poor me!

My poor computer broke, ok, just one tinsy little part broke. But that tinsy little part means that I have no internet for awhile. No Facebook, email, blogging, recipes, or surfing unless I want to wait until 10:30 when my husband gets home from school with his laptop, or I want to use my neighbor's. The library won't happen. Can you just picture me sitting there blogging while my two toddlers run a muck? Not happening. So I will just hang out at my neighbors more often, they love me anyway, right and blog less.
I am sorry my faithful friends, I really miss blogging every day. I miss the chance to get my thoughts, experiences, and testimoniy out for the world to read. But stay tuned. I will try to keep up on the blog, even if it means staying up late occasionally, not that I don't do that anyway :D And until the next post just think of giraffes. And feel free to leave a comment so I know you're still around.
Loves!

Babies

YAY! We had a great day today, WAY, way better then the past few days. Last night as I prayed I talked to Heavenly Father and told him how frustrated I felt. I have been trying so hard, and I SO want to be a good mother, but it's really tough. We are all Heavenly Father's children and my children and still His. I know that He has not given up on them, he still loves them and so He will help me to be a good mother. So as I prayed I told Him a what I felt like I had learned, told Him I was going to take this opportunity to learn patience, and could He please help me to have a better day tomorrow.

It started out great, I was short a couple hours of sleep because of a rough night with the boys, but I felt rested and ready for the day. And we did have a good day, I felt patient, we had fun, and Glen did great with the potty training. I came back from a church activity to a baby sitter who told me that he had refused to go tot he bathroom the whole three hours, but he was dry and told me when he needed to go. I was so happy I made a HUGE deal about it, dancing, singing, hugging, kissing, tickling, and I gave him a squirt gun he wanted as a reward.

I know that Heavenly Father loves us. I know that He has a plan for us. I know that we are His children and He will guide us. Think of the person you love the very most in this world. Then think that Heavenly Father loves us all even more. He loves us deeper, purer, and more perfect then we can even imagine. His love is perfect, unending, and REAL! I promise you it is.
