Some blessings

The kids and I made this train city set yesterday... we had fun doing it and they loved it.  When we build sets like this, they can spend hours playing :)  totally getting along, it is nice.  Haley will play with her littlest pet shop and hunter... what else, his trains... even though now, thanks to Nate, he ALSO loves Cars cars.  
I met a new friend, Rachael, who gave Hunter this bed.  He loves it!  
Ever since Jim and I took financial peace university, we only buy things when we have the cash to do it.  So with our christmas money and some early birthday money, and after waiting a month for a good sale... we bought our first flat screen tv.  It is 32inchs and is NICE.  Our other TV was on its last leg.  Seriously, the color would sometimes be green... or the sound would be off.  It served us well, but now, thankfully it is gone. 
When one is in time out, they all go.  Actually in the above picture, Haley and Hunter got sent to time out and Jonah wanted to join in on the fun.  It really wasnt much of a time out, per say, but more a need to calm themselves down... they had to count SLOWLY to ten before entering the living room again.  

Jonah is in a huge Haley phase.  HE follows her around calling her mama.... She is so gentle and sweet to him... Hunter loves Joe too, dont get me wrong... its just that Hunter and gentle arent really words you use much together unless you are telling Hunter to BE gentle. 

Thankfully our children do love each other and get along well.

Yay! A new tv! That's always fun! I bet there are great sales right now, too. I love the pic of the kids in the hall on "time out" together. How sweet! I miss them. Don't let them forget me, ok? Show them my pic and tell them I love them! Talk to you soon.

I'm so happy you got a new TV. It looks great in the bookcase. And just in time for Survivor! :)

The kids look so sweet in their "time-out."
