Lights Under Louisville




So today was a busy day. We put up the big mural in Bubba's room. We actually did a pretty good job considering the husband and I had never done anything like it before. Needless to say we are quite proud of how it turned out. I know I am always teasing and not showing pictures, but I only have one more week before we get our stuff out of storage and I can share our entire house room by room. His will be one of the first rooms done I promise.

We then went home gathered up the children and went with Louisville Mommies on a special private view of the Lights Under Louisville. This was really nice as the cost was no where near what it would have cost for us to do on our own. We didn't even have to drive our car, they took us on the tram. Abigail enjoyed it as did Andrew. The other two I don't think really quite got it. As a favor to a mom on Cloth Diaper Nation (CDN)  took along Flat Stanly. We all had a blast.
Greets us into the cavern.

Opening.

First picture of Stanly.

Abigail asked me to take this picture.

Abigail helped get pictures of him for me.

We followed this up by going to a Christmas party with Louisville mommies. The kids got to see Santa this way. I shall be getting a digital copy of the picture. There was no crying in the picture this year, but it was not easy  convince Bubba to see him. Lizard went no problems, Mouse I doubt knows what even happened, and of course Pumpkin could not wait to share her list with him. I can't wait to get the picture, The kids will also be getting letters from Santa out of it so I will be one happy momma.

Family Pictures

Image
Alright so we are what is considered a big family these days. I am lucky and my photographer loves his subjects as my photographer is my father-in-law (FIL). I had him do some family pictures this month so we could have a cute Christmas card. Our problem is the kids are so young so half the time one or more kid is not looking at the camera and this is often the result. Okay so that is sort of cute. Let's see what else results from a large family. Okay this one is not so bad, other than the face. This is a little better, again so many people and under the lights it can get warm (yes he has professional lights and will have a studio this next year.) At this point. I was sure we were done. However me being mommy we continued on. I did get the shot I wanted. I won't share it, it wasn't perfect, in fact it was less than perfect, however it just screamed this is it. It reminds me of the kids picture with Santa last year, you know one of those moments you just ca

Christmas Crack?

Image
Okay so in January of 2009 I joined a cloth diaper board called Cloth Diaper Nation . I had just found out I was expecting my third child the summer before and after loosing a computer hard drive to Diaper Swappers 's viruses they were having trouble with at the time, I jumped ship for another place to get diapers. See with my second baby I decided I wanted to cloth diaper and just knew I would need loads more diapers after having my third child, and would now have two babies in diapers. I ended up finding the ladies of the board very interesting. I loved that there was no edit button and you had to own what you said there. What I did find strange was their chatter about crack. Heck they even ran a co-op of this crack. I didn't get it at first. I began to understand this was a candy of sorts. So I just pushed it off. So then Christmas came and they were unable to get the co-op run and there were many sad ladies. I again thought nothing of this crack. So this year I am introdu

I Survived

So a couple of months ago on Facebook I had a message from someone I went to middle school/high school with. We hung in the same circle of friends. We however we never really that close, always keeping each other at arms length. I can say she was more of my "bully" than friend. In this message she told me she was sorry. She realizes that her actions and words were harmful to me. She told me that what she did and said all those years ago were not the actions of a Christian that she thought she was. I cried, why, probably because it was the first time in over 15 years someone said they were sorry and meant it. I'm not perfect, I would be crazy to say I was. I come with battle scars. How I view myself is a result of YEARS of being bullied. I don't think I have even talked about how much it still effects my everyday life with my amazing husband. My self esteem is lacking, I have never felt pretty, I think I will always feel fat. This is damage that was done over YEARS of
