It has been a good weekend here in the Oswalt home. We visited with the Shawas on Friday. The men went to catch a movie and have some guy time. Char and I managed the 4 little ones! Wow what a loud time was had!!! Poor little Emily has been covered in hives from a cold she has had...we checked with Dr. Molly before our play date...she gave us the all clear (that is for the grandmothers reading the blog!!!).
We slept in some on Saturday and then headed to the Beacon here in Oxford for a late breakfast...Carter is so impatient. Here at the house I sing whenever something is missing "Where oh where could ____be?" or I say "If I were _____, where would I be?" Well, Carter sang the where oh where song until his food arrived!!! What a riot! Spencer however is very much my child. He wanted the rest of us to just talk! So we took turns talking about different topics. Carter only wanted to talk about where his food was when it was his turn.
We then headed to a few stores looking for me some tennis shoes and we stopped into Treehouse toys on the square. We then very quickly took a cranky Carter and a somewhat cranky Spencer home to get a nap.
We visited with Maggie the rest of the afternoon. She washed clothes and taught me to play Canasta. She grew up playing it and kicked my butt. By the time I caught on the game was over...she won like 7400 something to 24oo something....next time I will get her!!!
We slept in this morning. We are going to the Orchard Church here in Oxford. They have duplicate services at 10:30 and 6pm so we have opted for the 6pm service. Maggie works with youth at this church.
Well...I got sidetracked and just now got back here to finish this post. We had a great time at church. It is always so good to be in God's house fellowshipping and opening God's word. We are spoiled forever since we have been under Kevin Jackson's preaching and are very picky...but tonight was not bad at all!
The boys are quietly sleeping. Earlier they were carrying their "babies" - Spencer a bear in pajamas and Carter his new Tigger. They were sitting in the floor side by side rocking them. Good play therapy as we all prepare for a new little one. Poor Andrew has no idea what he is being born into!!!
Bo is currently researching the South Beach Diet. He convinced Maggie to join him. I am going to do a modified South Beach so cooking will be easy. Phase 2 is safe for me but not the first Phase.
Here is a pic of the boys from this morning. They play really well together with a few fights here and there. The fights are usually Carter not getting his way. Spencer is an amazing big brother. Depraved still, but amazing. Carter bit him this morning. Shocking behavior for Carter, but it was handled with a time out and a pop of the diaper. Followed by some great snuggling and family time in the bed. We listened to Andrew's heart beat. They are both so excited!!!
Okay, I need to go rest so I can get up and tackle tomorrow.
Please go to Carter's medical website and then go to Benjamin Shawa's website...we will have Emily in the morning so they can go for Benjamin's 6 month heart echo. Pray all works well for them.
Signing off...
Lindy
