Catching up & more random

I am totally blogging two days in a row...about random stuff. Nothing important is going on right now, which is a good thing, I guess. So, for now, the random blogs will have to suffice :-)
Anyway, my boys are addicted to X-Box...I HATE it! If I had my way, we wouldn't even have one, but, David likes to play it, too. My rule is that they are not allowed to play during the week, when school is going on. So, by the weekend they are ready to get their fix. Isabel was with my dad over the weekend and got into her cousin's Lego's...she loved them. (This is going somewhere, keep reading) So, we ended up getting her a set and the boys wanted some as well. They all came right home with their sets and opened them up. All three of them played with their sets for hours. Isabel's were just basic Lego's, she would build and tear it apart, build and tear it apart. The boys had sets with directions they needed to follow to build specific things. Andrew and Joseph were in their room, GETTING ALONG, HELPING EACH OTHER, NOT PLAYING THE X-BOX...for HOURS. I kept going in checking on their progress...and I have to admit, it was the first time in a long time I had seem them really enjoy each other and what they were doing besides playing video games!

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!
Psalm 133:1
So, of course I had to take some pictures...
and you can't tell from here, but these are NOT easy, there are TONS of tiny parts!




Also, I am a little behind about this, but the boys got new furniture a couple weeks ago...a couple of you have already seen it, and though it arrived and we put it up, I am still not done with the room, so I will post those pics later on when I get the room completed...but here is a pic where they delivered it and for some reason off loaded it into my dad's truck (David & my dad's doing...didn't understand why)...

Also! Last weekend we went to our niece's birthday party. She was turning two. Here is a shot I snapped of her (Kaydan) and Isabel eating snow cones...I hate to sound like a dorky mom...but shouldn't it be illegal to have this much cuteness in one place?

This past Friday I had arranged for all three of my kids to spend the night with their grandparents, David and I rarely get just adult time...I was so excited. We went out to dinner with my friend, Kristi, who I hardly ever get to see anymore. I really really enjoyed spending the time with adults only...and two of my favorite adults at that :-) But, about 10 o'clock the kids started calling and I was missing them, they wanted to come home. How could I say "No"? I couldn't, by midnight, they were all back home with us. Oh well, better luck next time, huh? We need out of town grandparents...LOL.
Church yesterday had a really good message, and Izzy finally stayed in her class so David and I could actually sit and listen to the sermon...maybe that is why I enjoyed it so much. I really really want to start helping out in the children's ministry there, but I have a really hard time committing to ANYTHING. I told someone the other day, I hate change, yet I hate commitment. She just laughed at me and asked, "How can that be"? I can't help it, I hate commitment. When I tell people that, they don't get it because David and I have been together and had our family so long, I tell them that is enough commitment for me, that's why I can't commit to anything else...hehe! So, pray for me that my heart and mind can truly be open to what direction GOD wants me to take with this, and not turn away because of the fear of ongoing responsibility.
Until my next blog (think I can do three in row??? guess we will have to see about that), I hope you all have a very blessed week, and you find time to truly seek out the Lord and just spend some time with Him.
