Isaac is going through this phase, where his sippy cups of milk/juice/water hardly get drank any more. He thinks it is much more fun to put some in his mouth, and let it dribble down his face onto his shirt, belly, floor, whatever the case may be. IT DRIVES ME NUTS!!!!! For starters, it is a waste! That juice or milk was perfectly good, and we don't need to be spending money on food that gets wasted when children starve and are thirsty. Seriously, wasted food/beverages are a HUGE hot button with me. Anyway....on top of that, the MESS! I can clean and clean the carpet, but I feel like I can never truly get the milk or juice out. Just yesterday alone he did it with 3 (THREE) sippy cups. One of juice, and two of milk. By the third cup, I had completely lost my patience. I yelled. And yelled. And I may of yelled again one more time. (*insert embarrassed face here....but I am only human...*)
Isaac of course started crying. "Mommy you yelled at me." (Secretly this broke my heart, but I was mad....so I didn't let him know.) I told him if he wouldn't listen, maybe I wouldn't get so mad, and then when he started grabbing and pulling at me to get up, I told him "No, not right now. Mommy is mad. Stay in your room and leave mommy alone for a minute."
About 2 mins later, double trouble BOTH come walking out. Jazmine telling me I hurt her brothers feelings, and Isaac wanting more milk! (UGH!!!!) I told him no milk, I was still mad, and please go back to the room. He started to walk down the hall, then stopped and came back.
He then proceeds to tell me one of his and his sisters fabulously not-funny, but you can't help but laugh because they think they are so funny, knock knock jokes. I tried very very hard to keep a straight face when he busted up laughing at the end of the joke thinking he was hilarious and his joke would win mommy over from her mad. When I didn't laugh, he looked right at me with those big brown eyes and said with a very serious face.....
"Hey, LAUGH! That was a joke, you 'possed to laugh!"
Needless to say, THAT broke right through the mad. I started laughing and gave him a big huge hug. :)

The children's shirts came in todays mail. Every night before bed when we say our prayers, we pray for Jesus to love, shelter, feed, and protect the children who need it who don't have families. Isaac doesn't completely grasp it, but Jazmine is excited that Mommy buying her new shirt means food for hungry children. They are such good, loving kids....I am blessed!

The heart of my child...
We had family visiting this weekend, and had fun hanging out and heading to the Pumpkin Patch. I have a ton of pics to share (quite a few over on FaceBook already), but will share those here tomorrow. For today, I wanted to share these couple pics, and a quick insight into the heart of my son.
One of the fun things the children liked at this farm were the horses to ride. Jazmine was old enough to actually circle the arena on the horse, and LOVED it as much as last year.
Then there is my little (big) Isaac. He was not old enough to get to circle on the horse, so he was stuck sitting in the middle of the circle just hanging out on the horse..."For insurance reasons". I admit, I didn't give my son enough credit. Here I was feeling bad for him, since he had to just sit still and watch Sissy circle around him, but he was no where near my line of thinking. He was non-stop chatting. And all he was chatting about was "I have the fastest horse of all. We are going so super fast! Nobody can catch up to us we are so fast. The fastest of all! Super super fast!" The rest of the day, and even still today, all he can talk about is how he had the "fastest horse of all". *sigh*... I just love them!!
