Third time's the charm???

This morning I woke up to Wells crying in a low but persistent tone. I could hear the conversation in the bathroom. "You're ok Wells, hold the rag on to stop it from bleeding." I am very used to having Wells hurt himself but I thought it was odd that he would have hurt himself at 5:45 in the morning.(This is the time Nate gets up to go to work and the time we have started reading family scriptures with our kids. Everyone but me is up at that time anyway. I am the only one that has a problem with it. Actually Nate doesn't love getting up that early either.)
Nate came into our room so I ask "What happened?" "Wells fell off his bed on the heater vent and needs stitches." "Why are you acting so calm?" "What's the point in getting excited about it?" (That's classic Nate...I could expound on that one.)
So thinking it was time to get up anyway, I got up and took a few pictures before I realized it was 3:30 in the morning. Nate took Wells to the emergency room and I tried to sleep but Harrison was needing more love and attention because he was sick all night. That must be why I didn't initially hear Wells and get up with him. I got on the internet curious to see what the term accident-prone means. "Having or susceptible to having a greater than average number of accidents or mishaps." Yep, that's my Wells. This is the third time in his young life he has had stitches on his chin. PS You will notice my partially painted bathroom. I have tried three different colors of grey and haven't hit the perfect one.Those of you who have painted recently know how many shades of gray there are.

My February boys!!!

Happy birthday to Nathan and Harrison! I'm in love with you!!!

Are you kidding me?

So the question in my mind has been; "Is anybody worried?" Seriously, is anyone thinking deeper than the information people get from the 5 o'clock news? I am worried for the state of our country. The bailout...are you kidding me? It was marketed as an emergency, so needed that we have to push it through stat. Hurry before Nancy Pelosi leaves on her trip and she only has one day. We have to rush this bill through because "500 million Americans are losing their jobs." Passing an 800 billion bill without one member of Congress reading the bill and the fine print....are you kidding me? Who signs on anything major without knowing what is in it for yourself.
I called my congress persons. I knew it wouldn't do any good but I did it. I heard that only 10% of the bill is actually earmarked for "the people" who Obama said the bill was all about.(3% now and the other 7% before mid-term elections) Congress gave themselves a raise for the great job their doing and lots of money for expanding government programs yada, yada. (I say yada, yada but if what is being reported about what is in it is true I am truly worried about what America is becoming. I do hope jobs are created but it didn't take a government spending spree to do that.
I am just shaking my head. I really want to know what all of you are thinking about this. I almost never comment on blogs anymore so I understand not taking the time but I want to know what your thoughts are. I am in total shock, really.

Good job team....

I am still smiling at what happened a few days ago and just getting to posting so I'll share... Ellie and Wells have started to become quite good help to me which has blessed my life considerably. Ellie and Wells have the job of taking the laundry from the bathroom to the laundry room downstairs. Harrison has been helping me too by taking used diapers to the garbage when I am changing Hattie or when we change him to pull-ups in the morning. Nate was with the kids and wanted to do something nice while I was shopping so he put a load of laundry in the washer. I am sure you have the picture...so when I got home and was changing the laundry I came across a very large half exploded diaper. Surprise, surprise! The funny part was when I found one more very large mostly exploded diaper in the same washer. My clothing have still not recovered because it happened to be mostly darks, which to me is the other really funny thing because diapers are white and you would think...at least one???? How much help is too much help. :)


Ellie in her "outfit" she layed out the night before. She did her morning jobs, did her own hair, and all before breakfast. She was super happy with herself.
