Here I am...

...I was hiding for awhile. Okay, I was really just procrastinating on writing a new post. It's not that I don't like to post. It's just that I have lots of other things to do and at the end of the day, I'm just too tired.

On Saturday, the kids and I took a never-to-be-repeated-without-Keith trip with my parents to visit my grandparents in Waterloo. The kids were seriously out of control. Not so much C, but J & M were NUTS. Okay, not so much M, but J was CRAZY. I know you are all sitting so surprised at that fact. Haha.

Anyway, after our short visit we went to eat at Famous Dave's. It was yummy! C saw a guy there with a long white beard. She said, "Oh. There's Santa Claus. Ho. ho, ho." It was pretty funny!

Then on Sunday, J was even naughtier than he was on Saturday. (Sorry, Jolene!) He told me he didn't love me. :( Even though he's 4 and I KNOW he didn't mean it, I was still sad. He is sure going through a phase. Watch out. Seriously. Don't awake the beast!

I meant to share this story last week or so, but I never did. (See first paragraph of this post.) When I was planning for C's adoption, I was going to have her wear this cute little dress Keith's parents had bought her. It ended up being so cold before the actual day of the hearing that I wanted her to wear something else. My parents went to Von Maur and got some cute outfits off the clearance rack. This one they got was from a company called Giggle M00n. I was trying to decide which one would be perfect for the special day. Then I looked at the tags and I knew which one she should wear.

Surely this was a sign! Not that I believe in signs per se, but I thought that it was very fitting and true for the special day! It was just really cool to see that verse on a clothing tag. I had never even heard of that brand and my parents never even saw the tag until I showed it to my dad when he dropped the clothes off at my office. She sure did look cute in it, too! :)
