Deep thoughts with.....Bambi?

There's just nothing like seeing your 3yr. old's brain growing! As she's watching Bambi this morning, Abbi begings to ask me the deep questions. "Mommy, what happened to Bambi's mommy? Why did she fall down? Is she dead? (we get the dead question often ever since our fish Oscar died about 5 months ago) Is Bambi hurt? Where is Bambi now?" and my favorite, "Where is Thumper's daddy?" That is a good question! It's neat and a little scary to see her brain working out complex issues instead of just sitting and taking it all in without a thought in the world. And by the way, have you ever noticed how often the "dad" is missing (whether by death or not) in many of the Disney movies? Where's Dumbo's dad? Cinderella's dad dies. Bambi's dad is mostly absent. Lion King? dead dad. Snow white? dead dad. You get the picture...

Routines and more routines

The last few weeks have just gotten away from me. I guess just trying to get back into a routine will do that. The house sure is quieter with Bryce back in school. Abbi is pretty good at entertaining herself and Cambria is just her own little person now, too. My newest endeavor (Jenn) has been to FLY in my home (www.flylady.net). I never knew I was such a perfectionist--okay, yeah I did! It has really helped me make some routines in my life that I really needed. It all started with the book Sink Reflections and now the website.
A couple of things this last week: Bob (Rick's brother--those who don't know) had a birthday on Sat. Happy Birthday Bobbo!! and he is actually Master Bob now! :0) as he officially completed his masters program. Congrats! And also this last Sun. we had Rick SR. and Carol come and speak at our church (our sectional meeting). They both did such a terrific job--Thank you so much!!
I never seem to bring my cameral with me for the times I want to take pictures, though! sorry!

By the way, it was pizza

Bryce had his first day of 1st grade today! But he's still at that age when you ask him what he did in school, the answer is almost always an, "I don't know..." comment. Although he usually can remember what he had for lunch! Must be a boy thing. I guess he did tell me that he was chasing girls at recess--must be a Wadholm thing! :0) 6 years old and in the first grade--can you believe it? Where does the time go? I can still remember when I was in first grade. Oh the memories...
