…Give them a Barbie. lol
Yes, I gave my boys a Barbie. One for each of them.
As you can tell, they were NOT happy.
The sinister side of me even allowed them to dwell in this state for a moment — or five. I couldn’t help it! Their reaction was priceless!
I knew that the Barbies were to [...]

Little Boys
I am so blessed to have two little boys! They brighten my day when I least expect it, and I thought I would share some of it with you…
The five year old:
“Momma, my sunglasses are too little for my eyelashes.”
“Googley” (The silly word he picked out as a reminder of when an attitude needs adjusting.
(Negotiation when [...]

**Please Pray for Ella Ruth**
Sorry, everyone, I haven’t opened Whatever Wednesday tonight. We’re heavily in prayer for baby Ella Ruth West who was born this morning. She has fluid in her lungs and possible pneumonia. Please join us in praying that her lungs will clear quickly, her breathing rate go to normal, and that she would be in her [...]

Ouch
Did you know that the human body has approximately 650 muscles? I think I used EVERY ONE of them today. Most certainly, I’ll feel it in the morning, too. (Along with the open blister on my hand.)
It was a good day — very productive, but very chaotic too.
We started off this morning with “Monster Mommy” [...]

Thankful Thursday
Wow! I really have alot to be thankful for this week…
God, who loves me beyond measure.
Tears spilt for a soul, a reminder that His cause is still deep in my heart.
The look on the boys faces when Daddy came home for lunch yesterday. (He is working mostly in our town now, instead of driving the 140 mile round [...]

Life’s Work – Is it Working? (Part 2)
Continuing from the last “Life’s Work – Is It Working?” post, I want to explore the “norm”. What is the normal, average, Christian family unit in America today? What are the “normal” goals for families in this century? What do we, as a whole, teach our children? What should be their goal and steps into adulthood once they [...]

Thankful Thursday
Today I’m thankful for:
Last second protection from what could have been a really bad wreck on Tuesday.
The opportunity to teach the boys, without consequence, the reason for sitting properly in a car with the seatbelt on.
A more organized and productive week.
A daughter and son, who saved me from an asthmatic disaster, by cleaning out the back [...]

Life’s Work – Is it Working? (Part One)
We have just completed a 12-week study series at church on the family. Priorities, Discipline, Time Together, Memories, Family Traditions, Family Devotional, Family Vacations, Family Relationships, The Church Family, Worshipping Together, Commitment, and Lasting Values were all topics studied and discussed during this time.
It. never. fails. Each time we spend time studying one thing, it’s THAT thing [...]

Not Me! Monday
Welcome to “Toby’s Toasted Bananas” — the blog that’s kinda like the scene from “Forrest Gump”….you never know what name you’re gonna get!
In the spirit of “Not”, I’m struggling to come up with something relatively interesting to post.
I was pretty normal this week. (No comments about that, ok?! lol)
Not much crazy stuff to confess, I’m afraid.
Hmmm…..Let’s talk about [...]
