Poppin' in

This week has been wild. Can't believe it has been over 7 days since I posted.

Kens and Maylin have both been sick. I feel like I am getting it too.....which I don't want for I am running/walking my first 5K tomorrow morning. I am nervous. I just don't want to be the last one.

It has snowed and rained on and off this week, and the week before, and the week before that. Tired of it. Hope it doesn't for the race tomorrow. I am grateful we are not in the tornadoes. We send our prayers to the people affected by the natural disasters.

Off to the school today for Alex's class. They have a special presentation on the Armor of God. Been to the school a lot as it is teacher appreciation week and I have been in charge of a couple of class activities. Maylin also had her kindergarten assessment. Not sure if I will send her or home school her. Driving 30 minutes each way for a half a day is hard, but so is homeschooling.

Watched the royal wedding. It was nice. I still miss Princess Diana. Loved her.

I will post pictures of the race tomorrow. Austin is doing it it with me. I figured if I do come in last I can always use him as an excuse....heh hee he. JK! He is a good sport to do it with me and a good adventure. He can't run the whole thing either, obviously, so we will be a good match. Alex is running a Kids Fun Run. Unlike me and Austin who just don't want to be last, Alex is out for first place. We will see.

Good luck with the race tomorrow (and I'll bet you're not last!) I was up at 3:00 a.m. watching the royal wedding, too -- I love me some pomp and circumstance.

Good luck in the race! Hey, I have a brilliant idea for kindergarten. Homeschool her so you don't have to drive, but also put her in a preschool that's a lot closer so you can have some breathing room. Golda went to preschool with Ruby when she was in kindergarten, just to reinforce everything, and it didn't hurt her one bit! :)

Good luck with your race. I'd love to know what you did for teacher appreciation as I need to do something next week for Maisie's teacher. I can't believe that you recently had snow, that just isn't right.

Did I just hear that?

Today I was at W*lM*rt and I had the WEIRDEST experience. I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about it. I was at the self check out and the worker that handles those came over to Nini and put her hands on Nini's cheeks and literally put her nose against Nini's nose. Okay....don't know you, plus it is serious cold and flu season. I pulled the cart back quickly. The lady was talking to Nini and asking her how old she was and telling her how cute she is (she is that). Then she said to me, "where did you get her from?" That question threw me. I have been asked where she is from, what nationality she is, but never, "where did you get her from?" I said China, but was thinking, "does she think I got her from a store or something?" This was just the beginning of what was the MOST outrageous conversation I have ever been apart of. She asked me her name. I told her and she said, "Thank you! It makes me so happy to hear that name."...

Maylin's room

Here is an update on painting. The doors continue to be a nightmare. We don''t have doors on the girls bathroom and no doorknobs on any of the other doors. Hopefully next week. I love everything else. Many of you asked about the glaze in the kitchen. It is an oil based glaze that comes in black, white, brown. You roll it on with a small roller and then take it off with a rag, by blotting it. You can make it darker or lighter depending on how much you put on and how much you take off. Here are pictures of Maylin's room. I was scared to make a change with 2 colors, but I think I like it. I don't know if you can tell but on the pink paint it is a wash (first white swirly, then pink) with light white flowers like the top pink ones. I picked words to go around her room that may inspire her. The Chinese translation is underneath. Of course, we used Meng, that was her first name...Meng ni and they called her Nini. The words are in vinyl and the flowers were painted using a pa...

Happily ever after

NieNie Dialogues: April 15, 2019 Christian is the most important person in Stephanie's life. She made this post about him. She wrote about how much she loved him and he loved her. Every year she dedicates a song to him as they enter another year as husband and wife. She said, "Everyday I pray to God, thanking him for Christian. I thank God that he is my husband, my protector, and greatest defender. I thank God that Christian loves and respects me.......And I thank God that I will be with Christian forever and even to infinity and beyond." I am not married, but I related to this post because I love my dad. He is my protector and my provider. He really takes care of our family. He is so great. I can tell my mom loves him too. Even though it embarrasses me, I love to watch my parents hug and kiss. I am glad we are sealed together. After reading this post, I decided I needed to write in my journal characteristics I want in a husband. These are the things I wrote: Must l...
