What's goin' on with the Shababys...: A not so Wordless Wednesday

I guess this post will not be wordless today.

I have to play catch up.

It has been crazy busy lately and I haven't been able to keep up on my blogging. Sorry to all my faithful readers... um, you are out there? Aren't you? (crickets chirping) Mom, I guess it's just you and me! =)

Anyhoo, this past weekend was a blur with lots of fun. Friday started with a big shopping trip to a really nice consignment store where I found some great deals on barely used name brand clothes! Score! I love upscale consignment stores! Then we had lunch at Philip's dad's restaurant since it was a half a block away. Later that night we went to a big party in Atlanta. My mother-in-law's families' restaurant was celebrating it's 50th anniversary of being in business. (Yes, there's lots of family restaurants in this family.) We had so much fun and saw lots of family too. Saturday we played outside and Hannah surprised us with learning to ride her bike without training wheels! (More on that later) *Sniff* Wasn't she just a baby? Later that night we went to a CD release at our brother's church. It's a wonderful CD to benefit missions. And then, Sunday we had lunch with Philip's family and spent the day playing outside since it was such beautiful weather. Whew! I told you it was crazy! Monday came and I was out of steam. I did manage to clean the house a little and do some school work with Hannah so I did accomplish some things.

I promised a post on organization. And I didn't get to it. =( I did think about it a lot though. That counts for something, right? The junk drawers under the microwave, (Yes I said drawers, not drawer. sigh... I know, it's horrible) have been calling my name. Hopefully I will tackle that project tomorrow.

I also haven't forgotten the character quality series that usually I like to post on Sundays, but didn't get to it this Sunday. So here we go. This weeks topic of contemplation is: (picked at random)

WISDOM vs. Natural Inclinations

- Seeing and responding to life situations from God's frame of reference

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Proverbs 9:10

Wow, this is a doozy! I could contemplate this for a long time. When I am presented with a situation, do I respond with my own natural inclinations, or do I first try to view things from God's perspective? Wow, so many situations come to mind. Raising children, money, marriage, work, relationships, and so much more! As always your comments and thoughts are welcome on these subjects. What does this mean to you? The purpose of these posts is to give food for thought during the week, myself included.

So now that I have caught back up, I'll leave you with some pics from Saturday. (Yeah, I also squeezed in some trampoline time with my second born.)

Just call me super-mom.

No really, DON'T!

I'm not. And just to prove it to you:

We had frozen waffles for dinner on Monday night!

Because, well, I was tired and we also didn't have any food in the house. Oh well, not a shining moment for me regarding nutrition, but the kids loved it! Not to worry, we now have a fridge full of nutritious food. Now, if I could just pay someone to come cook for me I'd be set!

Sorry I started rambling again... so I'll stop.

Here you go!
