I can understand at home when they just grab from a drawer full of different tops and bottoms, but when mommy packs only 2 PAIRS... WHY?? HOW?? do they still do this?? They did not even notice until I told them!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">Yes, the Smith children brought home 5 of those trophies, none of them being for speed!! (scratch head and wonder if the idea of dispersing the trophies amongst all the children worked, hmmmmm?) So happy for my kiddos, but I must admit I kind of wanted to hide under a rock when "Pastor Ben's" children were repeatedly called to accept their trophies!! I promise, we paid no judge compensation for their favor!! HA!</span></div>Ben and Carissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14646968611824973153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32616842.post-89306739971302285172012-03-28T06:49:00.001-05:002012-03-28T06:49:25.516-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We finally had to move the gauges out of his tank because he kept curling up on them until they fell down! I never actually got to see the crash, but I'm sure it would have been comical. :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Things have been going well with the creature and I have to admit that I am getting used to him and the creep factor has <i>slightly</i> diminished. Many of you may have read my fb status the other day... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Part of Ethan's routine in the mornings before he heads off to school is to hold Scar and make sure he is taken care of for the day. Well when I peeked in on the boys, they had Scar wrapped around the ladder to their bunks. Well, school time came and the boys ran off to school. A hour or so later, I went into their room to put away some laundry and noticed that the room seemed dark. I was curiously looking around and then... with a long blink, and short, quiet gasp, my eyes landed on the snake cage... DARK! The lamp was on the floor, the tank was open, and the snake was g-o-n-e!! <i>Of course</i>, the boys were on a field trip and Ben was driving for the field trip so <i>they</i> were not around (living next door to school has it's perks - like marching next door and pulling Ethan from his classroom to rescue his mother from his missing snake!! *mom tapping foot on floor giving intense glare with one eyebrow raised). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Well, Kate came to my rescue, found Scar tightly squeezed between Luke's mattress and bed frame, and put him back into his tank where he was locked in good. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">She is now my favorite child :) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">As for Ethan... (while trying to hide his smile), he was<i> firmly </i>told that Scar <u>better</u> be tightly locked up BEFORE he goes to school in the mornings!!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Ethan wanted a snake this year sssooooo badly! This long and creepy creature has been kept undercover at Pastor and Mrs. Lapiska's home for a few weeks. -THANK YOU!- After we unwrapped all our presents at home (and after Ethan was a little disappointed that he did NOT get his snake), we took Ethan over to the church basement where his real present had been delivered. He was very surprised and so very happy!!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Scar is a ball python that we got from a breeder. He has been very "friendly"- if you can use that word to describe a snake?! He just kind of hangs out where ever Ethan puts him. I am trying not to shudder at this new love of Ethan's and I'm hoping that I will calm down a bit (for the sake of everyone) soon. Ethan sure loves him and the others are growing more fond of him every day. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Mommy's squishy baby! All smiles, squeals, and giggles. Sweet, adorable, loving, cuddler, horrible sleeper (hey, can't have it all), soft, kissable, and wonderful! Noel would love for Christmas to be in a room full of open drawers and cabinets, <i>alone</i>, so she could empty them all out onto the floor.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">We've been in Alexandria, VA at Engleside Baptist Church for 6 1/2 years now! Ben is still working with the youth, AWANA, and family ministries. He also takes care of the church landscaping. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">The best daddy and husband around! He proved that this year when he sent Noel and I to Colorado for 10 days and took on the 6, 5, and 4 year old <i><b>alone </b>(scary voice).</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">I have enjoyed my year squishing on my baby at home everyday and attempting to run a household with grace. I joined Bible Study Fellowship and have enjoyed having something to keep me accountable! I also ventured way out this year and became a consultant with Thirty-One Gifts and have had fun dabbling in that a bit.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">The 24 day WAIT</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Trying to focus small children on the meaning behind Christmas can be challenging, at best! The Christmas season brings <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">candy</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">presents</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">cookies</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">bright lights</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">no school</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">friends and rarely seen family members</span>, and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">tons of extra special activities</span> all squeezed into one month!! No wonder it's the favorite season of children! No wonder it's my favorite season! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Our family has lots of ways that we enjoy the long 24 day wait, or <i>advent</i>. Most of them are geared specifically toward teaching and re-enforcing the birth of our risen SAVIOR. Instilling the excitement of the wait - as the world waited for the prophesied Messiah</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Micah 5:2</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Through you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">and as <i>we</i> wait for the return of Jesus</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Acts 1:11</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">"who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">behind each door is a nativity ornament we talk about and hang on a small wire tree. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">A small treat also awaits the children each night.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">We do these the 12 days leading up to Christmas. The kids love to see each new ornament and take turns <i>adorning</i> the tree.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">This is an idea I got from <a href="http://lifeasmom.com/">Life as Mom</a> that we are doing this year and I am so excited!! This is a "fun" countdown. THIS is how I am squeezing in all the extra special activities into our month!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Each day of December has an envelope that encloses a<i> top-secret</i> family activity. Life as Mom has a whole list of activities and cards ready to print <a href="http://lifeasmom.com/2011/11/a-christmas-countdown-family-activity.html">here</a>, but I decided to make up my own activities that are "must haves" at the Smith house. I made sure their were lots of outings balanced with lots of at home activities (with a few "bail out/ we're pooped/ can't muster the energy" activity cards that Ben and I can swap out at will)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">A few months back, Ben had this idea that I should take Noel and go see my family in Colorado. My grandparents had never met Noel and I had not seen <i>them</i> in a long time! So, after I made sure Ben knew that - I leaving with 1 kid = HIM staying home with 3 kids - I bought a ticket!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">The fist day of our trip was spent catching up with Jamey, Autumn, and Rachel...but I guess I was too busy gabbing (and eating OREOS) to take any pictures. You will have to imagine us girls comfy on Autumn's couch sipping tea, catching up, and watching Noel and Axel, who are just 1 day apart, bang on each other's heads. It was wonderful.</span></div>
