Counting my Blessings: Everyone has a little sense of humor.. Right?

Last night Ted went to Melanie and Nick's house to watch the football draft. Which left me home with the kiddos and a messy house. I do not mind that he went though I think it's great that he has friends with similar interests, because I really enjoyed having some peaceful christian music playing rather then the draft!

I tackled the laundry, dishes, floors, and both bathrooms.. Whew! Feels good to wake up to a clean house knowing I don't have to come home from work today and pick up!! As I was doing dishes I was praying and I couldn't help but thank god for blessing me with two boys who were both in their rooms being very quiet and I was able to get so much done with NO interruptions.. ( this is very rare) As I'm closing the dish washer I couldn't help but feel proud of myself and I couldn't wait for Ted to come home to a clean house.. Or so I thought..

I have always known that my heavenly father has a sense of humor.. There have been way to many incidents in my life I just know hes a funny guy! Well, Last night I was quickly reminded of that again. Right after I had finished my prayers with the man up stairs Brody came and got me and said " Mom come here I have some hay bails to show you." As I walk into his room I notice that he had taken EVERY SINGLE TOY he owns and piled them on his bed... actually I should correct myself.. it wasn't just the toys.. It was the bins that held the toys, the car rugs, and the chairs to his table literally everything.

Normally my first reaction would have been something like " Brody, why did you do this after we spent all that time cleaning your playroom.. Now you can clean them all up and I'm not helping you." This time my reaction was a full out laugh, because all I could think about is what I was praying about and how proud of myself I was. I could just picture god laughing at me! I should have learned my lesson by now. When the kids are quiet something strange is occurring! So all I said was " wow those are a lot of hay bails." Shortly after that Brody comes up to me with this little tiny flag and says " Jesus gave me this flag to put on the top of my hay bails."

Anyways, we had a good night and for the most part the kids were great, the house was almost all the way cleaned and Ted really got a kick out of what happened. Enjoy the pictures!!!
