A Week at Our House

A Week at Our House

For a Christmas surprise we get a new dog
Dog's name is Sammy
Sammy is not potty-trained
Mommy is going a bit crazy...

Sarah is eating my new Reader's Digest
Doggie is eating Sarah's toys
Mark is playing with doggie's food
Rachel keeps giving doggie a treat

Doggie is pooping on my new floor
Baby is spitting up on my new floor
Big kids are wrestling on that same floor... Ugh!
I need a new floor but wait this one is only 3 months old!


Wonderful Christmas tree is falling down
Broken bulbs, beaded garland flung all over
Baby crying, Mark throwing ornaments
Christmas tree still not re-decorated... :)

Calling in help, calling in help!!
Mia come help us!
Christmas tree has fallen down
And Mom is in tears!

Mom decides to go Christmas shopping
Daddy calls first time... "Baby is crying"
Second time... "Baby it STILL CRYING and won't take a bottle"
Third time... "Okay, mom is now leaving the store and on her way home."

School, school, must do school
Spelling, math facts, bird sounds, and gingerbread houses
The Nutcracker, dancing, painting ornaments, and state flowers
Learning to read and memorizing scripture

Three in diapers
Mark Charles
Sarah Alice
And now the Doggie!

Opening Christmas cards is a fun treat
I really should send some myself
First card I write, daughter draws all over
A picture of our new dog will be sent on this card

Going to a Homeschool Christmas Party
Mom starts to load up all 4 kiddos
Soon realizes that hubby took ALL the carseats out
Mom puts in carseats in all by herself and manages to not be too late

Mom and Dad going to the Baily Agency Christmas Party
Mark brings over a shoe and hat
Thinks that he is joining us
But this is Mom and Dad (and Sarah's) night out

It is 4 AM
Mom is nursing baby...again
Mom would rather be sleeping
But thanks the Lord for her sweet daughter

Mom is grateful for so many children and her husband
Bible says children are a blessing
Mom loves her 4 blessings
Just not sure about the dog...
