Where does the blogging time go?

I intended to post on this blog way more than I have been lately. Where the heck does the blogging time go? I can't get over how 5 or 7 days go by like nothing! Is time really moving that fast? We had ordered baby gates a while back (and I posted about the fabulous deal I got). The gates have been sitting on the floor, boxed, since they arrived who knows HOW long ago.... You want to know why I have no concept of time lately? It's called a 3-year old. God bless him, he's a wonderful child, but OH MY GOSH! 3 is the most insane age imaginable! I bought a book about 3-year olds today, called Your 3-Year Old: Friend or Enemy, that's exactly the right title for what happens in our house these days. 3 year olds can flip this switch, where one minute they're perfectly happy and willing to do what you tell them, and the next minute? A kicking, screaming little unrecognizable monster. This new development has really made life a blur lately. Not to mention having a 2nd little one. I am so very relieved and thrilled that Ellie is an easy, happy baby. There could be a thunderous tantrum going on in the same room, and Ellie is usually just happy as can be in spite of it. What a doll. I am so very very fortunate. I have admitted before that I have a bit of a temper, and if I had multiple crises going, I could/would be in trouble. You've heard before that God won't give you more than you can handle? I think he knows what he's doing these days...


Even though 3-year olds make you tear your hair out, they are amazing little creatures. Over the weekend we took Matthew to the state fair. He absolutely loved it! I haven't seen him that happy! I'd say even more happy than when we went to the Day Out with Thomas, and that's big!




This is Matthew's very first ride ever. We're riding airplanes if it's hard to tell...
