Wordless Wednesday

They're here

We were going along this afternoon when Ethan decided to go check on our very pregnant cat and came running in and said, "Mama there's a baby in the box." We proceeded to go outside and watch our cat have 3 kittens. We then realized that one kitten was struggling and not moving. I repeatedly tried to get the Mama to love on her but she would turn her back. So, we called a friend of ours who is a vet and she said to keep it warm and wait. I told Ethan that the kitten was probably not going to make it. Oh, how he cried. He has such a big heart. He said, "Mama can I hold while it dies." I stood there as my 6 year old son stood there talking to the cat and to God saying, "It's okay kitty, I'll keep you warm. God please help this kitty. Please don't let it die." For over and hour he held that cat and prayed. Then, I told Ethan we needed to let it be with it's Mama. It had not moved and had been barely breathing. We put it in the box and watched as the cat proceeded to have 2 more babies. Then the little white one started moving and wiggling and trying to nurse. I stood there in amazement as the Mama started licking it and Ethan said look Mama look. And then he summed the whole experience up when he shouted, "Praise the Lord!"







Our glimpse of God

Well, another Monday so let's get started.

I did not text my husband "dirty"messages at work because I knew he would call me and I missed him and wanted to hear his voice. (I have just entered the 21st century and got texting on my phone LOVE IT!) I would never resort to such trickery.

I did not let our kids sled on a hill that was so steep that I had to stand at the bottom and catch them to keep them from hitting a ditch.

I did not rent a few(4) chick flicks because my husband is working out to town this week.

I was not the only mama at the home school party running and sliding on these cool mats like I was 6. It was so much fun.

I did not (have not ) gone on a crazy decorating spree in my house. No telling what it will look like next week.

Have a great Monday.

Five question Friday

My friend over at Motheringthemother has been doing this for a few weeks. I think it is really cool. I have not figured out how to grab the button or join the blog hop but Pam if you see this fix it for me please.
1. What are you most afraid of?My husband dying and being left to raise my 3 kids by myself.
2. Do you use a flat iron or curling iron? Neither. I have a "surprise-me do". I wake up, brush, flip it upside down and wala(not sure how to spell that word). Some days it is wavy and wild and others a little straighter and flip out. I don't really care it is hair and I will probably have a new "do" in about 6 months. But I currently love my latest style.
3. Hands-free or phone to the ear? Phone to the ear.
4. Do you have a matching bedroom set? No, I try to make things blend but we definitely have bedroom on a budget.
5. Do you believe in the paranormal? No. It drives me insane all the media that is out there to support this.

Well, this was fun. Now off to have chicken tortilla soup and watch a movie with the kiddos. It is snowy and icy today. I love winter.

Kung Fu Panda

Have you seen the movie Kung Fu Panda? Well, my kids love it. Especially the boys. It is actually a very cute movie that has a never give up message. Anyway, on the DVD there is a special on how to make homemade chinese noodles. The kids have been asking me to make some and although I have decent culinary skills Chinese noodles from scratch are not in my cookbook. What they were really wanting to do was eat with chop sticks. So, we were out a few days ago and it took longer than what I anticipated. We ended up eating out with Troy for lunch. Two orders of noodles and 5 pair of chopsticks later and this is what you end up with.

I love snow.

I love snow. I love to get lots of snow that keeps you in for a few days. I also love that it doesn't take long to warm back up to 40 degrees and we can spend hours outside sledding, playing and building snowmen. My 3 loved it.

I did not fix a dessert every day while we were snowed in at home.

I did not use old linoleum to sled on after our sled broke.

I did not spend 3 days in my pj's, just sliding extra pants on over them to go sled.

I did not take Striper, my cat, to get neutered and when I picked him up that afternoon they had sent him home with the wrong family.

I did not let my children get out the paint and create masterpieces till their hearts were content totally unsupervised.

I did not decide that my upstairs hallway was a gag gross color and buy paint before the snow came just so my hubby would be snowed in and need to help me paint.(Why do you think we had so many desserts)

Last, I did not decide that I did not want to wait for help and I painted the hallway alone while hubby was napping.

Hope you have a Happy Monday.
