Alright, so , we have had an influx of afternoon thunderstorms here. The other evening Little Mister J, who is obsessed with policemen, firefighters and their automobiles, came into our bedroom( past his bedtime mind you) and told me "I am the Police and here to save you if you get struck by lighting, because that is what polices do." Awww, how sweet. He freaks me out sometimes because he will come running around the corner to me yelling "The polices are here!" and I think "oh my GOD!" Then he will tell me "I am the polices." Whew... not that the "polices have any reason to be a my house, but you never know.
On to other topics, I will be delivering at least 11 cans of food to our food bank this week after I do our weekly shopping. I will probably round it up to an even 20 though. I will also be mailing out the Card for Heros cards I made last month( I know, finally, huh?). I have been branching out creatively wise. I have been doing watercolors and beading along with scrapping and card making. I don't know why but my head is almost bursting with ideas! I wish I had more time to let it all out, but I work with what I have.
Hope you have an awesome day, I know I will.

Weekend Wrap Up
Saturday started off with hubby going fishing early. So, it was me and the wee ones in the morning. L was awake first, then J woke at around 8:30 which is really late for him to sleep in. J decided he wanted to watch Toy Story 2 and proceeded to go into zombie mode in front of the TV. He would not even come to the table to eat breakfast, and made a big mess of eggs all over the sofa! Sigh, I obviously can not have anything nice! The rest of the day went smoothly, J was pretending to be a fighter-fighter(firefighter) and an old belt was his hose! I swear that kid has an imagination like I have never seen before! We made our weekly pilgrimage to Wal-mart and stocked up on goodies for the week.
Sunday we started off early. Hubby mowed the lawn and has it looking gooooood. We took the kids to the duck pond. I had like, four loaves of bread in the freezer that we took with us. However, it was hot and there was no breeze, so needless to say the ducks had other plans. They were totally not into our bread. So sad, all that bread just floating in the pond and no one wants to even nibble on it! We went to target afterwords and got photo paper, I also need ink for the printer but of course they were out of what I needed. So, home we went to make taco burritos, which are burritos that were supposed to be tacos. They were yummy and even the vegetarian kiddies ate them. the kiddies then decided to jump on the bed in J's room. Bad bad bad. i did laundry and mopped the floor, Am I a barrell of fun or what?
On another note, I finished my original goal of 50 cards for cards for heroes (http://www.cardsforheroes.org/ ). Now I think I will shoot for 100. Wish me luck. I think that this organization is very worhty of the little bit of time it took me to do this. They should be counted as heroes too.
All in all a very relaxing weekend. I hope yours was the same.

Kids Say the Darndest Things
So, my precious 3 year old boy says to my dear husband yesterday "Daddy, I do not want you to smoke anymore." Seriously, is there anything that kid could have said that would have more of a heart tugging effect on us?? He was so solemn and sweet about it. I never realized that kids pick up on so much. It is not like hubby smokes in the house or around the kids, he is fastidious about washing up afterwards, changing his shirt, brushing his teeth etc. Yet, a 3 year old knows what is up and that it is not a good thing. That one sentence has given hubby some things to think about. He has tried to quit quite a few times before, this time he says he wants to try the LASER therapy. At around 300 dollars a pop I hope that if he does it he will get the results he wants.
On another note I followed the blog hop last weekend for Cards For Heroes, www.cardsforheroes.org a great organization that sends handmade cards overseas to military personnel. I am in the process of making my first ever batch of cards to send to them. I am only up to 8 so far hoping to do 50 to 100.
That is all for today, have a great weekend!
