Mission Trips

This is something I haven't been able to even consider for a very long time due to all the little kiddos running around my house but Chris and I both would love to go on a mission trip.

Do any of you know of a mission trip (preferably an orphanage) that we could take our 7 year old and possibly the younger kiddos on? Not a really long one but maybe a week or so.

I would LOVE for Amaya to get to go on a mission trip with us and I know I have seen people take kids before so please let me know if you know of any.

Thank you!

Poll - Yes I'm Bored

First of all thank you to all those that left me comments. I so thought I was a cave type person but maybe not because I am about to go crazy not going anywhere.

I was looking at reecesrainbow.org today and some of the kiddos have BIG grants so if you haven't checked them out in awhile go take a look around.

As I was looking I wondered just how many people have actually considered adopting but haven't. Since I'm bored and curious I decided to put a poll up just to see. You don't have to leave your name or anything just answer the question and lets see what it shows.

By the way the twins are much better today! Now if Chris and I could get over this sinus stuff things would look better around here.

You know I think I'm a little lonely now that all the puppies are gone now too :( It's stinks that we have to wait about a year for more puppies.

Sooooo........

I have pretty much been trapped in the house for the last week and a half. I was so hoping some friends would leave me comments yesterday because I was just feeling a little lonely. I decided to play around and google some things and I found out that usually less than 1% of readers on blogs leave comments. That means that yesterday I had 4 comments (THANK YOU TAMMY, CHRISTINA, GOINS GANG AND ADEYE!!!) but maybe 400 of you dropped by to see what was happening around here.

Did you know that I LOVE COMMENTS? I really do, I even put up a new little thing at the top of my blog reminding all my friends that I love comments :)

Anyway I am pretty much going to be stuck home the entire weekend other than a must trip to the grocery store so feel free to leave as many comments as you would like (as long as they are nice). If you have a blog I can get to I will visit you back and comment on your blog.

Have a great weekend!

The Twins Are Home Today

Last week Amaya started with a headache followed by a sore throat and high temperature. I was sure she had strep but the Dr. tested her for the flu and she came out positive for influenza A. I was pretty much warned right then that we were all going to have it.

Last weekend Chris came down with it (he still does not look good), I got it but not bad (I told Chris it's because I don't eat meat now). I expected Paige to get it but I was hoping Jaxson wouldn't because he was the only one that got a flu shot. Jaxson just happened to have a checkup when it was flu shot time and the Dr. talked me into him getting one.

Yesterday Jaxson's school called and said he now had a temp and then last night I noticed Paige had the high temp.

So today the twins are home being sick together. Even though they look pitiful they are too stinkin cute. When the medicine is kicked in they get so silly for about an hour but then they crash together.

My Little Pirate

OK...don't tell him I said little but Jaxson was a pirate this morning on search for treasure.

He came running to me screaming saying "Momma, Momma I found my treasure!!!" Jaxson then gave me the biggest hug and said "Momma YOUR MY TREASURE!"

He totally made my day but at the same time made me think about all the little pirates out there that never find their treasure. Little boys waiting for families are the hardest to place, isn't that sad?

Maybe there is a little pirate looking for a treasure in you?

OK, I Give Up

Can someone please tell me why when I went to change my background all my side stuff moved to the bottom? It is not in the bottom when I click on design but when I pull of the blog page it is.

Thanks for any help!
