My Heart Belongs to Two Men.

My heart belongs to two men and my husband is perfectly okay with that. 

I have always heard the cliche statement, "You heart will just grow in love and you will be able to love one just as much as you love the other." As women we usually hear this when we are fearful of having a second child. And it is true - you don't love one less so that you can love them equally. You just get more room to love. 

Isn't it amazing that God loves us so much that He gave his ONE AND ONLY Son so that we can have a life with Him! Think about it mamas, HIS ONE AND ONLY SON. 

Could you have done it? There is no way on God's green Earth that I would give up my ONE AND ONLY son. Even if God asked me to, I would be holding on so very tight, I wouldn't be able to let go. Sure, God, yes He is yours, but you gave him to me! You can't have him back.  He has my heart!

The day that Little Mister was laying on my chest (yes in this picture he is not even a day old) no longer brewing in my belly. My heart grew 3 sizes! Yep, I experienced exactly what The Grinch did!. My heart belonged to another man now. My husband now has to share. He is okay with that by the way.  

At the time of writing this Little Mr is 9 days shy of 3 and 1/2.

I love him more today on day 1262 than I did on day 1.  

I love him more today than I did on day 1 because ... 

I have seen how passionate he is ... that will take him to places he hasn't even thought of yet. Oh and he is a thinker!

Just like his daddy he loves to laugh. He loves to make you laugh! When he realizes he made you laugh he won't quit. According to him, "Quitting is a bad thing Mama." Just remember that when things get hard baby.

He is a lover with spunk. Don't let this sweet, sweet darling face fool you. He loves hard. Knock you to the floor with a flying bear hug hard. For him love him hard in return. The harder the better!

Dirt + Cars = One Happy Boy. I am so thankful that he is 3 1/2 now. I can let him spend as much time outside as his little heart desires with minimal supervision. He is so content to take his cars outside and just play in the sandbox or the grass.

Helper extraordinaire in the kitchen. Give him time and he will be doing it all on his own. Watch out ladies, he might have mama's gifts in the kitchen. Another skill that will take him far!

Be still my beating heart. What did I do to be this blessed? I don't deserve any of this. Thank you God for loving me this much and so much more..

He is adventurous, curious, and daring.

Watch out world! He is going to get you!

Full of life since day one. Stolen this Mama's heart from breathe one.

I thank God for him. Even on the days when I can't get pass the fighting, hitting, pushing, arguing and crying -- I thank God for my son. I thank God that I don't have to give up my one and only son. I couldn't do it. I would be giving up my heart.

Mommy loves you Monkey Man. More than my words will ever be able to express.

ThrowBack Thursday Week 5W

Regardless of the team you were cheering for on Sunday your emotions ran the gamete!

Were you biting your nails? Praying? Sitting on the edge of your seat? (look at those eyes!)

Screaming touchdown? -- Little Miss at 13 months.  :)

Did that really just happen?  (December 2013)

We had it all in our house.

We were cheering for the Seahawks - even though we didn't really want either team to win.  I was looking forward to the halftime show and the commercials.  I am also glad that the game itself was exciting.

So with that let's bring on #TBTwithTPT.

What are you going to share with us this week? Me -- My sports unit.  I did just update the cover, but this one has been here for a little bit.

It has lots of different sports in this unit. 27 different activities -- Hands On and No Prep.

Your turn. Oldie but goodie! No theme this week.  :) 1 paid, 1 free.

Throwback Thursday week 4

My goal is to have these ready much earlier than the night before - this week, I am just glad to get a few minutes to get it done.

Lately I have been sharing an event or story that goes along with what I am posting. To be honest, I just don't have the gumption for it today. Cleaning up 4 pukes and dealing with dehydration can do that to you.

I am going to dust off an oldie but a goodie and share it.

Here it is.

It has an old cover and everything!  :)

This is actually one of my favorite units.  TONS of Hands On activities and centers. So colorful and has black and white options for everything. It is on the list to be revamped and updated, but that will be a little down the road.

Your turn! Pull something off the shelf that has been there for a while.

Link Up your oldies, but goodies below - 1 paid, 1 free.

How about some themes this week!

1. President's Day
2. Ground Hog Day
3. Valentine's Day
4. Spring
5. Weather

Throw Back Thursday #3

For those of you who have been around a while or personally know our family. It will be no surprise. Little Mister loves Trains, Cars, Trucks and pretty much anything with wheels.

We have this great place locally called Entertrainment Junction. It is this HUGE model train display. It really is pretty cool for us museum type nerds *cough* Hickman #1 and #2 *cough*. Here is why it is great for the kids too.  THE HUGE PLAY AREA.

Now it is a little expensive to be frequent players, but we do take the kids here from time to time.

They both have a blast. My little man could stand at that train table and play for HOURS. I might be taking them here next week so I figured we would dust off the train unit for today's Throw Back Thursday.

Throwback Thursday is where we "dust" off something from the shelves and give it a feature.  If you click here you can see how I turned this unit into a lapbook for some educational Thanksgiving entertainment.

Here is a peek inside.

Now it is your turn!

Please don't use something you have already linked up for a Throw Back Thursday.  You can link 1 Paid and 1 Free product.

All products are pinned to Throwback Thursday pin board.  Feel free to follow and re-pin.

Throw Back Thursday Week 2: Park Play

"Mommy, can I PLEASE go play outside?" Is the third thing I hear from him today. And when he looks at me with this kind of face I really want to give in. But it is bitterly cold and we just can't.

We are craving some sun, sand and sidewalks!

So, on this #TBT I will throw back to some outside times. 

At a local park playing by the pine tree.

Same park, same tree.

Backyard 'flower' picking.

This is really what he wants to do. Play with his cars and
construction trucks in the sand and dirt. Soon Son, soon.

We won't be getting to butterflies and bugs until April, but seeing that we are longing for some outside time I figured I would highlight ...

Here is it in action!  It has several No Prep Printables as well as Hands On Activities.  It is an entire week plus of Preschool oriented bug activities.

Dot Dabber Letters - Print and Go or Playdough Mats

Letter Match Puzzles, Vocabulary Flash Cards and writing practice, and Blob Bugs.

Fly and Spider B game, number puzzles, and more dot dabbers (to keep attention while counting).

Your turn!

Today's Throw Back Thursday anything that would fall in the "Sun, Sand and Sidewalks" category.

#TBT Linky Party Week 1

#TBT Linky Party

What's with all this lingo? #TBT is Throw Back Thursday. Many people will share an old picture on social media and tag it #TBT.  What are we doing with our Linky Party?

This Linky Party will be a little different than the ones we have other days.  Link up a blog post from the archives. Or if it is a new post the theme will be listed.

I also want us to be able to share our products. #TBT Linky Party will pull a product from the past and share it here.

Be sure to link you post in the right place.

Today's Theme: Holiday in Review. I know that we just finished up "The Holidays" but if you are anything like me life gets crazy and there are just things that you missed or didn't blog about. Pick a holiday from the past (new post or a post from the past) and link it up here.

This past Mother's Day I surprised my mom with a visit. For some reason she had a feeling we were coming. Must be the fact she has been a mom for almost 37 years.

First road trip just me and both kids.

With our zoo pass we were able to get 50% discount at the zoo in Milwaukee.

Mold-a-rama's - this place has not changed.

Digging on Grandpa

Food Poisoning

Park Play

It's your turn! Link up below.

This is a Flip and Find game. Penguins and Fish A to Z are included in color and black and white, upper and lower case.
