And of course top on our list of girlie things to do was to go and see the new Disney movie entitled <a href="http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/tangled/#/home/">"Tangled."</a> Sydney wanted to get all dressed up for our outing by having her hair fixed, some pixie dust on her cheeks, and a pretty dress. She started out in her own seat but about 5 minutes into the movie she was sitting with me, eating a hot dog and a few treats I had stashed in my purse. We laughed, I cried, we laughed some more, answered a few pertinent questions from Sydney about events taking place and then I cried and we laughed until the end. We both loved the movie and Sydney has started saving money in an envelope entitled "Rapunzel" in order to purchase the movie as soon as it hits the store shelf. <br />

My amazing husband bought the sprouts and I our first home. The past few weeks have held house hunting trips, paperwork, inspections, appraisals, phone calls, money, and last but not least, signing our life away! That was followed by packing, cleaning, address changing, moving, unpacking, etc. Then a week and a half after we moved, we opened the doors for our family to come celebrate with us. The Sensel's, Grams & Grandad, Crowdad & Lambie, Punkin & Granny, and a Pastors' conference in Maryland fit somewhere in there. This house has been a gift from God and we are having a wonderful time putting it to good use. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I think it is one of my new favorites. Be warned...you might cry.<br />
<br />
<i>It was many and many a year ago, <br />
In a kingdom by the sea, <br />
That a maiden there lived whom you may know <br />
By the name of ANNABEL LEE; <br />
And this maiden she lived with no other thought <br />
Than to love and be loved by me. <br />
<br />
I was a child and she was a child, <br />
In this kingdom by the sea; <br />
But we loved with a love that was more than love- <br />
I and my Annabel Lee; <br />
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven <br />
Coveted her and me. <br />
<br />
And this was the reason that, long ago, <br />
In this kingdom by the sea, <br />
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling <br />
My beautiful Annabel Lee; <br />
So that her highborn kinsman came <br />
And bore her away from me, <br />
To shut her up in a sepulchre <br />
In this kingdom by the sea. <br />
<br />
The angels, not half so happy in heaven, <br />
Went envying her and me- <br />
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know, <br />
In this kingdom by the sea) <br />
That the wind came out of the cloud by night, <br />
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee. <br />
<br />
But our love it was stronger by far than the love <br />
Of those who were older than we- <br />
Of many far wiser than we- <br />
And neither the angels in heaven above, <br />
Nor the demons down under the sea, <br />
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul <br />
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee. <br />
<br />
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams <br />
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; <br />
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes <br />
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; <br />
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side <br />
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride, <br />
In the sepulchre there by the sea, <br />
In her tomb by the sounding sea.</i> <br />
<br />

He laid down His life to make you look good. He laid it down on crucifixion day, so that you'd look good on judgement day. He was spat upon, beaten, scourged, mocked, stripped, spiked, hung, and forsaken. Then He breathed His last so that you wouldn't forever weep, wail, and gnash your teeth in hell. He was born, lived, and died with the sole object that you would look good forever.

She has been talking about wanting to take ballet for months now. She is bursting at the seems with joy that the day has finally arrived. Yesterday, we had a blast picking out her ballet shoes, white tights, black leotard, and pink tutu together. It was definitely memory making girlie time with my little ballerina! Now, all that is left is for me to master the ballerina hairdo! <br />

One of our many conversations this week consisted of what our new house would have; one of those things being a new dishwasher. I was trying to explain to her that we wouldn't be hand washing the dishes in our new house when she interrupted me with, "Mommy, we can't eat on dirty dishes!" I then explained to her further that no, we wouldn't be eating on dirty dishes because we would be using a dishwasher. She then looked at me with a perplexed expression on her face and asked, "Mommy, what's a dishwasher?" Hopefully she'll learn soon enough!</div>Jordan Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10954777689111743379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177555251816388464.post-24927215245414764322010-08-30T19:36:00.000-04:002010-08-30T19:36:35.435-04:00Makeup Truck<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Lar"> What does lipstick and a truck have in common? I don't know, nor do I understand why there was actually a picture that came up when I did a Google search. But what I do know is that for some reason my son has gotten the word makeup confused with the word pickup, and has now switched them out. So, if you happen to be standing near us to hear Noah yell, "Look Mommy, there goes a makeup truck!" you will understand.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />

One morning as Joshua was helping Noah get dressed, Sydney came in to play. She walked over to give Joshua his morning hug when she noticed something under his arm. She asked, "Daddy, what is that under your arm?" Noah then added his comment about the underarm hair discovery with, "Eww, gross!" Both sprouts then lifted up their arms to check to see if they had any underarm hair and then they checked each others. Once Sydney realized that neither her or Noah had underarm hair she said, "Daddy, your weird. Your like Mr. Tumnas!"</div>Jordan Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10954777689111743379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177555251816388464.post-8424378828529133262010-08-28T22:14:00.003-04:002010-08-29T09:30:31.364-04:00Offering Anyone?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6aqBpLcxnwoJLAzjhTZITgFyZEnkH8XZnUsygHt_ahwwqad7q-9imwTOnf6ChwEKFFZddodRaWtalMq2OTqm-88qn_sa_tzx59e2o0loivFNQRjGmAL6EkFN93fIcAg7WttbIblhJUqY/s1600/offering+plate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6aqBpLcxnwoJLAzjhTZITgFyZEnkH8XZnUsygHt_ahwwqad7q-9imwTOnf6ChwEKFFZddodRaWtalMq2OTqm-88qn_sa_tzx59e2o0loivFNQRjGmAL6EkFN93fIcAg7WttbIblhJUqY/s320/offering+plate.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Noah will be turning four next month, which means he will be graduating out of the nursery and into "big church" with us. So in order to prepare him for the transition, we have started having him come for the singing portion of the service. On his first Sunday to come in with us, we prepped him of what he should expect and what we expected of him. Just one little problem, we forgot to tell him about the offering. Joshua passed the offering plate around Sydney and Noah to me. As soon as it made it into my hands, Noah's head dipped down and his face went into full pout mode. I leaned over and asked him, " Noah, what's the matter?" Noah raised his face just enough to look at me with his sad puppy dog eyes and a protruding lip to say, "I thought I could have some money!" Joshua then leaned over and tried to explain to him that the money was for Jesus and the church. Noah did not like that answer and gave Joshua the look that said, "Why isn't Jesus sharing?" And then it was off to the nursery so that we could hopefully avoid a scene. I don't think we succeeded though, considering we were sitting on the second row from the front, and Noah maintained his "it could go either way face" (cry or throw a fit, maybe both) all the way down the aisle. Ah, the first joys of being a PW with a little PK.</div>Jordan Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10954777689111743379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177555251816388464.post-29484460231656471982010-08-28T17:20:00.000-04:002010-08-28T18:19:44.866-04:00Funny Man<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEui9kBbD9z8XaHmdZbFEHWlIkOrMQkPN3uPZvlNCvm0B_1oMMfE2ekNZa6FFaao61H-F6P5nenL2oWo4crWj9ZgFd0730jKcM1GkoStoQ3BQCHwAGbyGbTLnR_kjMDgScTDrV5b2w2VY/s1600/IMG_0023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEui9kBbD9z8XaHmdZbFEHWlIkOrMQkPN3uPZvlNCvm0B_1oMMfE2ekNZa6FFaao61H-F6P5nenL2oWo4crWj9ZgFd0730jKcM1GkoStoQ3BQCHwAGbyGbTLnR_kjMDgScTDrV5b2w2VY/s320/IMG_0023.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is a glimpse into Noah's funny personality.

A breathtaking view of the ocean, accompanied with the smell of the sea breeze, and nothing but the sound of the waves and the seagulls to break in on the oasis of our serenity. Blissful. <br />

For a little over an hour, this boy took great delight in playing catch and release with his jumping friend. But this all ended in tragedy, when his new friend was spotted by a black bird. As the little boy was chasing after his friend to catch him again, the black bird swooped down and stole his little grasshopper. The black bird then perched himself on the fence in front of the little boy and maliciously crunched down his little friend. In turn the boy was screaming at the black bird with tears running down his face, and shouting, "Bad bird, bad bird!!!" </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Birthdays in our house start with that special someones room being filled with balloons after their asleep. Joshua put the balloons in Sydney's room around midnight in order to be sure that she would be sound asleep. But to our surprise, she rolled over to see him and said, "Don't worry Dad, I'm not peaking!" We think she was a little too excited to sleep well last night. :o) The early morning was filled with screams of delight and laughter as the sprouts started to play. Joshua and I headed down the hall to enjoy the celebration with our camera in hand. Then it was off to the bakery with Dad to pick out favorite donuts and bring some home to share with the rest of the family.<br />
<br />
Happy Birthday Sweet Girlie!<br />
Daddy and Mommy love you and are blessed to have you in our lives. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">This week at the Library we found a new favorite book entitled <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ruthie-Bon-Bair-Wringing-Hair/dp/0810954702/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276782242&sr=1-1">"Ruthie Bon Bair."</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> It's about a little girl who does not obey her mommy and the consequences end up not being very fun for Ruthie. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">"So begins this delightfully irreverent tale in the tradition of Dr. Seuss. When a spirited little girl named Ruthie Bon Bair refuses to dry her wet hair before bedtime, she is plagued by an unusual host of difficulties-plants and flowers begin to sprout from her scalp, leading to hilarious consequences. Escalating to a dizzying climax, Ruthie and friends attempt to control the growing vegetation in her hair, but not without some surprising results..."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My sprouts want to eat on a Hobbit's meal schedule, so I was thinking I should officially put it into effect. If I meal/snack plan for this ahead of time my pantry won't be running dry of options. They can only eat goldfish so many times in one day. :)<br />
The only problem is they'll never be down from the table...like today. </div><br />

The carnival was the kickoff to their summer reading program. The sprouts had already finished all their reading in order to receive their prizes, so they each came home with a detective hat, t-shirt, glasses, snake sword (to fight off bad guys), flash light, library bag, and their certification for library detectives. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
