What Up?

Roy is out of town for the next week so it's just been me and my two. They have actually been pretty good, especially RoyBoy. He has been an angel lately, although he still continues to get into things. His new favorite past times include playing with and carrying around toilet brushes, finding hand soap and pumping it all over the house, and the other morning when I went to get him out of his crib, I found him with only his shirt on, diaper off and a big clump of poop sitting in the middle of the crib. He went instantly into the tub and the entire crib was disinfected. I'll take his creativenss over those awful temper tantrums we were experiencing a month ago! So, here's a little of what's been going on with us....

1. Coming soon down the street from our house is a little shop called SAS Cupcakes. I can't wait! I'm can't tell if it's a bakery or a place where you make orders for parties, but curiosity's got this cat!! And by the way, Sprinkles Cupcakes is coming to Charlotte soon, too! Yippee!

2. The other night before we turned out the light to go to sleep, I looked over and said "oh my word!". Roy thought I saw a bug or something and he quickly looked over to where I was looking. This is what we saw:

Do you see it? Look closely. A backwards "C", and "A" and an "r". Hmmm. I wonder who did that? It made us laugh. No matter how many times we say "only color on paper", I still find scribbles on our walls every once in a while. I think she did this during nap time last week when I allowed her to nap in our room.

3. Speaking of ), A, r...we are now currently running a musical marathon at our house if anyone wants to come over. This is definitely my child. She is obsessed with them now, especially The Sound of Music. I brought the soundtrack into my car and now that is the only thing we listen to. Sadly, RoyBoy now yodels when "Lonely Goatherd" comes on. And Caroline knows just about every song.

4. And speaking of our yodel-er, he has become Mr. Chatty Chuck this past week. He is talking more and more each day and it is so funny to hear the words he is chosing to finally say! We've also taught him to thank me after each meal before he gets out of his seat and then take his plate to the sink. This is a very funny thing to see.

5. If you went to Liberty University, you MUST read this book:

The Unlikely Diciple by Kevin Roose. I finished it last week and I literally couldn't put it down. This is the guy who went to Brown and transferred to LU incognito for a sememster to investigate Liberty and write a book about hisexprience. It is laugh out loud funny. I would read parts of it to Roy at night and we would laugh togther. So much of it is SO true, but there are parts that I don't agree with and think were interpreted the wrong way. The sad thing is, Kevin (the author) was in the Liberty environment for an entire semester, did all the Christian things, took many religious classes, and he writes at the end of the book that he knows that if one ounce of Christianity is true, than it all HAS to be true, but he can't make that commitment right now. He says "maybe" he might make the decision for Christ in the future. I ended the book feeling so sad for him. He has had so many opportunities to accept Christ but he continues to reject Him. This past week, I have found myself praying for him many times! Anyway, it's a great book.

Well, I was just getting ready to publish this post when I heard a big crash. RoyBoy was carrying two bottles of nail posh around and banging them together like cymbals. When I turned around, I saw clear nailpolish all over my hardwood floor and glass from the bottle all over, too. Luckily, it wasn't the red nail polish and thank you, Jesus, it all came off immediately!! Roy Austin's an angel, alright:)
