Thursday Thrills...

Last night I was playing around on my blog and completely messed it up... and I need a little help here... *Note to self... you're not so good with computers... find someone else to help you with your blog!!!* **thoughts anyone??

ANYWAY.....

After basketball camp,

and our trip to the library,

and lunch with daddy,

and bowling with the kids,

and my nap/rest/cuddle time with ... I think it's Colton's turn...

Then we'll all go swimming and clean up before dad comes home...

But after I go to supper club with our best buds who are returning from Africa tonight,

and football physicals for the boys...

I'm hoping to get a minute to work on my blog...

so please leave a comment if I can add you to my list of favorite blog reads...

because I just deleted most of them from my bookmarks!

NICE hugh???

errrhh

Learning to love what they need

There are 5 love languages...

I'm convinced that TMac's love language is Physical Touch... despite what the book says;

(All the boys are "touchy" too, just like their daddy... which is really hard on mama since I'm NOT)

Anyway, here's the Mac family's love language:

Tony's is Acts of service and Giving (Reason 765,079,843 I finally agreed to marry him - Who wouldn't want to be served and spoiled?? )

Kyle's is Words of Affirmation

AJ's is Quality Time

Colton's is Gift Giving, with a touch of Word Affirmation

Caden's is Physical TTTTTTTTTouch

Me --I'm.... MOODY -- so Tony would say I'm a little of all 4. It depends on my mood... so yeah, I guess SS would be right about the high maintenance thing...whatever!

But I'd say I'm really all ABOUT GIFT GIVING !!! I love to get them and I love to give them.

I love, love, love to give them actually.

So when I saw this... http://www.sfrontato.blogspot.com/... it made my day!!!

(This is one of THE BEST blogs I've read... it will make you laugh and cry...)

And after I did this with my son who likes his QTime with mom... (and I love it too)

I got inspired again to work on these to give to Tony's all star team...
And I needed to be inspired to start up again, because after doing ELLA's cute PINK book... this just didn't seem quite so fun to me.
And then I worked... and I mean REALLY worked at giving some nice Words of Affirmations for my 2 little ones...

who BLESS their hearts... made their own lunch...

ummm... those RITZ crackers are smothered in peanut butter, American cheese, cream cheese and turkey...

ALL together...

But since I'm working on giving these boys words of AFFIRMATION...
I bit my tongue and didn't say YUCKKKKKK...

I said... YUMMY (and thanks for sharing 1 but I'm on a diet--lucky me, so you go ahead and eat the rest... but save 1 for daddy so he can enjoy one too. * I'm good like that.)

so...
If you haven't read the book on Love Languages... especially the one to discover what your kids' are... you should. It's helped me love my boys... all of them... like they need to be loved... rather than what comes easy to me. What a difference it makes.

ps.. Thanks for the inspiration today J!!!

Hopeless Romantic

I had some great pix I was going to blog about today... but I got side-tracked (no shock there) and started to read some blogs.

This is one of the best... and I couldn't stop reading until I got to the end of her love story!

I love her recipes too... so Tony loves me to read this blog especially!
