Parenting

Beautiful is
When you see the warm soft sparkle in your child’s eye
As he talks about his most favorite thing in the WHOLE WORLD,
Spiderman.

Mind-numbing torture is
When you spend all day saying, please don’t touch that, please don’t do that, please don’t say that, please don’t stand on that, please just stop that, please try eating this, please take another bite, please say thank you, PLEASE SAY PLEASE…

Magical is
When your 3 year old son tells you a joke, and it’s actually funny.
As you laugh, he tells another one, and another one,
until you are both rolling on the floor, crying from laughter.

Bleakness is
When, for days, you try and try and try and try AND TRY your very best with a positive heart, to battle with your children’s naughtiness, disobedience, stubbornness, temper, anger, disrespect and appalling behavior… and absolutely nothing seems to change.

Tender is
When you kneel down, look your son in the eye and
say how sorry you are for being in a bad mood this morning,
and he says “Aww mom, that’s ok. I still love you. Let’s just be happy ok?”

Precious is
When your son throws his arms around you, and you both roll onto the floor, tickling, giggling, laughing, poking, bumping, hooting, bouncing, cuddling, cackling, twirling, and you just know deep inside you, that in another 3 years, this all might be “NOT A COOL THING TO DO”.

Panic is
When you wake up in the dead of night, to screams, cries, vomit, raging temperature, shouts, a soaking bed, blood… and you have no idea what to do.

Painful is
After waking up 8 times in the night and a trip to emergency hospital, you still have to get out of bed in the morning, make breakfast, pack lunches, send one child to school, entertain the other child, keep appointments, buy groceries, make dinner, pick up child from school, hang around for after school activities, bath children, feed children and bed children.

Pride is
When you hear your son telling his friends that “Ants are the strongest creatures in the world. If they were big like humans, they could carry a bulldozer! Yeah! My mom told me that!”

Wisdom is
When you try to explain genetics and recessive traits to a 3 year old and he just laughs at you.

Mind boggling is
When you watch your child play and are struck with utter amazement – He is funny, friendly, unique, sociable, active, open, confident, smart, happy and healthy AND YOU MADE THEM!

Why has this been so dead?

Please check out my new poll. It's quite fun.

Many things going on in the Free house.

We took Clark to his first football game tonight. He loved it so much he started crying when we left at halftime. We went to the Edmond Memorial vs Midwest City game in Edmond. It was an absolute blast. Next stop, Norman!

Now that the fair is finally over I am going to attempt to get better at posting here. So, check back soon.

Enjoying the Fair

Clark, Charlotte and I spent a lot of time at the State Fair while Dad was working. Here are a few pics to enjoy.

P.S. This is my first time to post anything! Aren't you proud of me?

State Fair of Oklahoma

Check out this movie from the great State Fair of Oklahoma. It is a jet car that has it's afterburner on while melting a car behind it. Wow...isn't the State Fair great?

What's going on

I know it's been forever since I posted anything on this blog. Please be aware I haven't forgotten about it. I will not be home anytime before 9 pm until this Sunday, September 9th. I just have not had the time to devote to this site like I want. However, I will hopefully begin to update it more regularly as soon as my work slows down.

The state fair begins on September 13th and runs through September 23rd. I will be extremely busy until after the fair. Please check back soon.

Sorry.
