You can call me Mommy-angelo!

My kid must think I have these amazing artistic abilities. I do not. At all. But surprisingly, after months of drawing on demand, I was feeling pretty confident about my skills. That is, until this morning.

"Mommy, draw fish"
*I Draw a fish*
"Mommy, draw baseball"
*I draw a baseball*
"Mommy draw dinosaur"
*I draw something that looks like a dog, with stegosaurus plates on it's back. He even gives me a look saying that it clearly did not look like a dino, but he will let it slide.*
"Mommy draw a jelly fish."
*oh good, something easy after that dinosaur debacle*
"Mommy draw Elmo."
*yep, I can draw Elmo with my eyes closed*
"Mommy draw feet."
*Yes! Another easy one!*
"Mommy draw racecar."
*eek. I draw one with terrible aerodynamics.*
"Draw Daddy"
*I Draw a stick figure*
"Draw Hannah"
*The only difference between Hannah and Daddy is that Hannah has longer hair and is wearing pearls.*
"Draw cat."
*Yessss easy peasy!*
"Mommy, draw God."

Yeah I was feelin' pretty good about our drawing session until that! :)

We're back!

     Well, things have calmed down in a lot of ways, which frees me up to blog. Something I really enjoy doing. There will be another element to this blog, as I figure out how to navigate the exciting and overwhelming world of food allergies.       My oldest is diagnosed with severe food allergies, and now my 8 month old baby is showing signs of the same things. We are managing severe food allergies to eggs, peanuts, tree-nuts, fish and shellfish. I have eliminated milk from my diet and it is helping the baby immensely. I strongly suspect he has a severe allergy to milk.      So our house has been turned upside-down by food allergies yet again. I had grown used to using milk products as a crutch for making sure my boys got enough of their nutrients. It is likely we will have to transition to a milk free home sooner rather than later. I have already cut it from my diet, and must say that I feel pretty good. I do miss cheese and ice...

Today, naptime = party-time. Today, I don't care enough to stop it. Today, I just close the door and let them play.  Today, I am exhausted in every way. Today, I need a nap probably more than any other day this week. Today, I will not get one. Today, there is paint on the walls and laundry everywhere, clean and dirty. Today I have to wash our comforter and pillows that our oldest son threw-up all over in the middle of the night last night. Today he is feeling fine. Today I am trying to remain thankful through the exhaustion. And as I write this, this line came on from one of my favorite Shane & Shane songs:  "Revive me, revive me not for me but for Your name." Today, I am thankful that God is God.

Saturday Fun!
