mommy moment

i just remembered this...
after a busy night of trick or treating this year, jada came in sat next to me and cuddled in. she looked up at me with those big brown eyes and sighed, then said,

"mommy. i LOVE sugar."
and silly me...i thought this was going to be one of those sweet mommy moments.
{{...and some other cool kids doing PSF!!}}

i have a very awesome new friend that i made this week in all the bloggy-ness at SITSmas!  she rocks my face off...and if you have a brown baby (or even if you don't), you have to go and meet up with her at mybrownbaby!!

She reminds me a lot of my Erin! We watched an episode of How it's Made on the TV and were showing how to make Taffy. They poured in this HUGE container of sugar and Erin's eyes got really big and she said all dazed like Wow that looks good! Goofy girls!

I think I am going to get this print for my girls room with their names on it. Saw it and thought of you!
How cute! My Spiderman is obsessed with sugar. For years his grandparents kept him from eating it, thinking it was making him hyper (it was the ADHD!!!). It made him crave it SO badly and he still does to this day!

Oh, but it was a "sweet" mommy moment! Just was about sweets...

Thanks for the note on my blog... wish we could chat sometime. I feel like I have so many questions for you.

And I'll have to tell my friend of your new friend. She and her husband are in the process of adopting a baby girl from Ethiopia.

Haha... that's funny.. you know she needed the hug too though.

My daughter has learned that when I get upset she just looks at me and says "Mommy, I love you too."
I know she means it, but I also know she just wants out of trouble.

Sugar, yep, I can identify with that!

Thanks for the comment on my blog a few hours ago.

Enjoyed your Super De Duper post - there's nothing better or more precious than family.

She's so cute - I could just eat her up! We're on sugar overload here with all the advent calendars and Ryder "helping" his baby bro & sis by "borrowing" their chocolate. Yeah, I'm sure they appreciate that. :o)

Have a great weekend!
Oh, I could just sop that little girl up with a biscuit! Thanks for the bloggy love--I'm so glad we've met!

Love your blog! It's funny cuz my parents always call my daughter the rose amongst the thorns - the thorns being my three sons. :)

Adorable girl!

Kids honesty cuts both ways, doesn't it?
She's beautiful!

How cute...that is an adorable shot of you two!

Thanks for visiting my PSF.
BAHAHAHAHAHA Yeah, sugar is probably at the top of the list and loving mama is number 2. What can we do?

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
