Hannah said something funny this afternoon. She LOVES to pretend play. She would have me play this with her ALL DAY! if I let her. I finally put my foot down this week and scheduled it in. So we "pretend play" from 9:00 to 10:00am and then again from 2:00 to 3:00pm (if I can make it that long). That has really worked out. Any who, I was pretending to be someone called "Hubba bubba mumma" (I wanted to hear her call me that) I know cheap thrills. So she did and it was funny. Then she started talking about inviting her friends over for her 4 year old birthday party. The first thing she said was, "Mom? Can I please, please, please invite Hubba bubba mumma to my birthday party?" That was so funny. Ah, I am totally going to drop that character cuz' I don't want to be embarrassed at her party. lol.

Josh loves Mickey Mouse Playhouse. If you watch it you will understand, but he will say "Oh Toodles!" and "Cheers" and "Super Cheer" when Mickey asks the viewer to. It's so cute. He also sings, "Doink, Doink, Doink, Doink, PBS Kids!" from OPB. = ) We have been watching so much tv lately. Brian helped me justify it because its cold, we've been sick, and really what else is there to do? If you have some great ideas my brain is fried so anything would help. We recently got Dish Network so DVR has become our good friend. I couldn't figure it out at first, but now I record shows the kids love to watch from the morning and then in the afternoon when their shows aren't on I put on one of the recorded ones. I also record Joyce Meyer and some other ones I enjoy watching. They are good to watch when I can't sleep at night or the kids wake up way too early. Like this morning Josh and I sat downstairs watching Armeggedon, a documentary, while he went back to sleep at 5:30am.

Also, one other thing. I have started to post some of the songs I've been writing on myspace.com/laramarriottworship. I wasn't going to say anything because I'm still on a huge learning curve and I'm a little shy about it, but a friend was very encouraging to me about sharing with you, so I decided to post about it. My plan is to copywrite about 15 songs and then post them when I get them recorded. I've joined a christian songwriters group and just love it. They are from all over the world and we help one another with encouragement and advice. It's been great. Anyway, if you decide to check out my myspace, let me know what you think and that you were there. = ) Til' next post. God bless you and your famly.
