How do you pick a title for this?

I have been such a bore lately. Not only blogingly speaking, but I all around. My mind is back and forth between numerous things and the sores in my mouth (yes I still have 2 of them), keep me from wanting to say much to anyone. 

Let's see what comes out of my mind this morning...

-Can someone tell me how to change my comments from saying 'sweet comments'? I did this several months ago, and I guess I was feeling extra sentimental that day because since that moment it has bothered me. I cannot figure out how to change it, so it has remained against my liking. 

-Yesterday evening, we went to the Sandies homecoming parade. The kids loved it and they were quite a hit. I am pretty sure they received more candy than anyone else in the miles of turf covered. All of the high school students eewed and awed over the two little munchkins in their fall outfits. I guess that means Brad and I have a lot of candy to consume, because I could never allow Noah or Kayt to eat the mound of candy they acquired because their teeth would fall right out of their heads. Kayt only has 3 so that  would really put her at a disadvantage.  I also realized how popular my husband is. When you are the high school pastor to the largest youth group in town, you are well known in the high school community. It was like being married to a mini-celebrity. Kids were yelling his name from every direction. The older gentleman standing next to us said, "I'm assuming you must be Brad. Should I get your autograph?" The funniest thing was that Brad hardly had a voice yesterday so he was just making hand gestures at them. 

-Noah loved the marching band. He loves all things band, from VH1 to Sunday morning worship to the marching band, he loves music. He is actually quite talented at the guitar and drums. I know I am his mother and all, but for a 2 year old, he jams out. He can keep count and can memmic most any pattern. He is so cute tapping his drum sticks together saying "one, two, one two three..." Vouch for me here Lezlie. When she heard him play, she said he was a prodigy. And she knows music. Okay, bragging over.

-After the parade, Noah requested dinner at either "Chic-ba-way or Shili's."  Since our pickins' were slim, Brad and I opted for Chili's. A monsoon came and went while we ate dinner. I think Jesus had that dinner lined up for us, because we ran into several friends while there and ended up getting to eat dinner with our friends, Sarah and Jared. Thanks Sarah for sacrificing your quiet dinner with your husband for a messy and loud dinner with us. Isn't it funny how eating out changes once you have children. Noah thought it was so funny to dip his chip AND HAND into the ranch dressing. Kayt, on the other hand, didn't seem to think anything was funny. She was 2 hours past due for dinner and we were running into her bedtime. She is nothing if not scheduled. 

-Kayt is walking!  She awoke the morning before her birthday and I guess Jesus gave her the walking pass in her sleep because she went from taking steps and cruising around the furniture to walking, walking and walking more. It has always amazed me how babies seem to reach milestones upon waking up, or at least mine do. Do yours? Noah went down for a nap as a crawler and woke up as a walker. It just isn't like that for adults. I don't go to sleep at night not being able to skateboard and wake up in the morning being able to glide up a ramp. --Don't ask me why I picked skateboarding, it just came to me. I guess it is from Noah's third love, skate parks. What? He is well-rounded; sports, bands, skateboarding...-- Okay, let me use a more realistic example. I don't fall asleep not being able to sew and wake up making quilts. Better?

-As soon as I get Noah's book shelf re-done I will post pictures of his big boy room. After I get the book shelf completed, I have a cute idea for a project for Kayt. If it turns out like I plan, I'll tell you about it. If it doesn't you will never hear another word of it. That's how I roll. After that project, I want to reorganize our closet and bedroom. This is where you come into play. The bottom line is that we do not have enough room for all of our clothes and shoes. We have cleaned out and given away and thrown away until we can do it no more. We really do wear all that we have (well, most of it), and only a small portion of the clothing I own is in our room. I keep a lot of my belongings at my in-laws. Does anyone use anything, organizationally speaking, in their closet that would be good for me to know about. I am trying to fit as much as possible in a relatively small walk-in (I guess you could call it that) closet. I want it to be organized and easily accessible. I understand the sky is not the limit when you have a closet that is older than it's owner. In 1958, when our house was built, they must not have owned the amount of things that we own 50 years later. Or maybe it is the difference in how the owners do or do not accumulate massive amounts of 'stuff'. The funny thing is, Brad and I don't buy new things, really we don't, but somehow our stuff seems to be expanding!

-And last, but most important, thank you Mandy for the new header. I didn't even ask her to make me one. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened my email to find this. Gosh, I love good friends! For $15 she will make you one too. Okay, I'm kidding. She doesn't do it for pay. But have you thought about it Mandy?

-If you made it this far, bless your heart. If it were me, I would be quickly skimming the post by this point. Have a great weekend. Pray for Brad, he is speaking at a Disciple Now and still has little to no voice. He made himself a homemade remedy last night. Any guesses on what was in the medicine (wink, wink)?
