Fun times at the Brittains

Can you guess who I am? Think back to the Christmas story. Em has a cover for the arm of the chair on her head to make a head piece, and a stuff animal to be a baby. Have you guess yet? She is pretending to be Mary with baby Jesus.

Cubbies

Em has cubbies for the first time tonight for this semester. Their verse this week they have to memorize is "When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. Matthew 2:10" We have been practicing and this is how Em said it,"When they followed the star (oh no they had to see it first), they were over by the donkey."

She has been saying followed and I told her the other night that they had to see it first in order to follow it. So that is why she corrected herself. She is not use to hearing the word "overjoyed" So she thinks that we are saying over by something. So she knows the Sheep and donkey were in the story, so that is what she puts there. I just have to laugh at her. Her poor teachers are not going to know what in the world she is talking about.

One Man's Junk is Another Man's Treasure!

About a month and a half ago my Husband and his business partner bought a rent house. The house next door to the rent house had a Barbie Jeep in front of their garage. I noticed it just before Christmas about the time we decided not to buy one for the girls. I thought well maybe they would like to get rid of theirs, it was just a thought. Last weekend I brought my parents by the house so they can see it. B-Daddy has been working on it for about 4 weeks now. He is remolding it so they can rent it soon. On the way out of the drive way I saw this by the side of the road under some trash.

I drove by slowly and then turned around to go ask if they were really throwing the Jeep away. The lady said it didn't work, so I asked if she would mind if I took it next door so my husband can look at it and take it home. She said "That's fine, but it doesn't work". I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. B-Daddy is pretty handy with things so I thought he might be able to figure out what was wrong with it if it was more than the battery. So my dad rolled it over to the house that we are remolding and we put it inside. I called B-Daddy and told him to come by and bring it home.

Em has been asking all week if daddy has looked at her princess jeep. We told her that daddy will look at it, but it might not work and we will have to throw it away. She is ok with that, but keeps asking. El keeps wanting to get in it, but it is so dirty that I want to wait to see if it works before spending the time to clean it.

Last night the girls spent the night at my in-laws with their cousins, so B-Daddy and I went to wal-mart and bought a battery and a charger. We charged the battery overnight and B-daddy put it in this morning. Guess what, It WORKS!!! A little dirty, but it WORKS!! The girls are going to be so excited.

So the moral of the story is never be embarrassed to knock on someones door and ask for their junk! You never know what you will find. Have you ever found anything out of someones junk pile?

Blog Vacation

I guess I have been on a blog vacation. Time just seems to fly by especially during Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. We seem to be back to "normal" now.

I am finally starting to get some energy back. I am now 14 weeks pregnant and I am feeling good. We will have a new baby around July 10th. The funny thing is, Sunday at church I had 4 people tell me I was looking skinny. I don't know how that is possible, but I guess the correct response would be "Thank You!" Who would have thought being pregnant would make you look skinny. It had to be the all dark colors. There is something to be said about black!

I got some cute picture I will have to upload and share.

Have a great Wednesday!
