Reagan's Birthday!
Reagan is 6!!!
My 2nd born child, Reagan James Mallicoat, turned 6 today, February 11, 2009. It amazes me at how quickly the time seems to go by. I remember watching him come out of me, and now he is so big and active.
He has such a tender heart and is so thoughtful of others. He is also going through a very sensitive stage right now.He is in love with the new baby. Multiple times a day he comes over and gives my belly a hug and a kiss and tells the baby how much he loves it and how he can't wait for it to come out so he can cuddle with it. At night the baby always gets a goodnight hug and kiss. He is so excited that he will be the one who gets to sit by the baby in the car, he just wants to help so much.
This year has been so much fun with him. His sense of humor has really developed, he enjoys playing jokes on people and is starting to tell jokes. Reagan loves to play games and read books. He is able to sound out many words, and will be all out reading very soon. He is very creative and loves to make up and tell stories.
This past year he has been taking gymnastics, played t-ball, took swimming lessons, wrestled, and took writing classes with our homeschool program. He learned to ride his bike without training wheels last summer, and LOVES to ride his bike.
Reagan also enjoys playing with the neighborhood kids, and they are teaching him about playing football. He is looking forward to warmer weather when they can all be outside playing again.

Cleaning and projects today!
My parents are on their way here right now!
We are going to finish up the kids school work right now, and then the projects begin!
I want to get the china cabinet cleaned off and empty most of it, that is going to be my new school cabinet. We just need more space so I can see what I have and then the kids will be able to have better access to their stuff without making a huge mess, which is what is happening right now.
Re-organize my plastics cupboard. It is OUT OF CONTROL! I can hardly put things away without something else falling out.
Dad is going to help Chris move the furniture from the garage to the basement. Then I can get the Yukon in the garage! This is a MUST before baby gets here.
I want to put the curtain rod up in Abby's room, and then the curtains. It will be so nice to have her room done.
The toys in the family room need to be organized and many put into storage. Chris got some boxes at Walmart last week and we are going to be using them on the shelves in the basement. With all the baby stuff coming out, we need the space. And I am sick and tired of looking at toys everywhere!
I need to pull the rest of the clothes out of Abby's drawers that are too small. Then I can see if there is anything she will need for next year. This is the time to shop for next winter, and between my mom and me, we should be able to have her set soon. And we are stuffing things in again and she is only wearing a few things over and over, so that is also an indication that we need to go through things.
Then the boys drawers, but that might be a different day.
I am already working on laundry, 2 loads done so far, 3-4 more to go, just of our stuff. Then to the baby clothes. They need to be washed and organized.
Then tonight I am having a mom's night out with my MOPS table! Chris and Abby are going to be watching the daughter of one of the mom's going and it is so sweet of them. And the little girl LOVES Abby!

Back at it...
Chris is at work, nothing like having a 6 day work week after time off. At least it is only a 1/2 day on Sat.
The kids are still in their jammies, but we are in the process of fixing that. Except I am here on the computer posting instead of helping them. Once everyone is dressed we will go downstairs, clear the newspaper off the table and start some school work. Abby is excited to get going because if she works quickly then she will get some computer time, and with 2 computers, I should be able to get both of them motivated and let them both have some time on the computer.
Eli already watched Letter Factory this morning while I showered, so he just has some coloring and a puzzle to do.
Reagan will do a couple of pages in his workbook and 1/2 a math lesson, coloring and a puzzle.
Abby has reading, math, handwriting and then we will see.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all my friends!
We had a very uneventful new years eve, the kids watched "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" and then were in bed by 9, Chris fell asleep with someone when he was cuddling, so he made it back downstairs around 10:15 to find me flipping through the channels, mostly watching home improvement type shows. So we hung out for a little bit, and then went to bed around midnight. Very exciting!
Today we again have no plans. It is so nice. Chris is at work, so it is really a normal day around here. Tomorrow we will be going to Waserbahn with some of his family, the kids are really looking forward to that.
As to my list from yesterday, not enough got done :(, but we will continue to keep at it and at some point this house will not be a candidate for the cleaning makeover shows that I like to watch.
ETA: Chris got home at 1:00 for the day, so he only had to work a half day, and he will get a full comp day for it, so that is good.

Today we are CLEANING the house! It is not a fun place to be in right now and I am going crazy. Everywhere I look there is clutter and unwrapped presents and mail and just STUFF! I would rather play on the computer all day, but if I don't get this taken care of it will continue to drive me insane, and that is a very short trip these days :D.
So far we have:
Eaten breakfast
Cleaned the Counter
Loaded and run the dishwasher
I have showered and gotten dressed
We need to:
Clean off the other counter
Clean off the kitchen table
Get kiddos dressed
Sweep kitchen floor
Pick up toys in family room
Take rest of garbage out before the trash man comes
Straighten up living room
Clean all 3 bathrooms
Laundry
Have kids straighten their rooms
Make lunch
Make supper
Pick out which movie the kids get to watch for New Years Eve
Vacuum
Empty Dishwasher
If I can get through the whole list before Chris gets home from work it will be a miracle, but that is my goal. I am hoping having a clean house will motivate me to start getting things ready for this new little one that is joining our family soon. We have a lot to do so I better get a move on.

1st speech therapy class
Eli had his first speech therapy class today. He finally talked at the end. They were working of the -ts sound (ants, pants, eats) and he couldn't say it at the beginning, but by the end it was almost correct. We will work on it this week, and hopefully he will catch on to it quickly.
His class is every Friday from 11:30--12. There are 3 other little girls in it right now. He will be having therapy for at least a year probably, but time will tell how quickly he picks things up. She thinks that maybe by the time he is 5, he will have caught up with all his sounds.

God is in Control
This is borrowed/copied from a friends blog (http://hopefullytrying.livejournal.com/), and it really puts into words what I have been thinking and feeling the past couple of days.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82-84EKIaqE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82-84EKIaqE
Romans 13:1. "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there
is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."
While I might not be doing cartwheels over the winner of this election, I do believe that God is in Control.
I also believe that God has ordained for Obama to be our President, for whatever reasons......God is perfect and He makes NO mistakes!!
And for me to be upset or devastated would be a waste of my time and energy. So instead, I will pray for President-Elect Obama, and his family, that he will be able to lead our country in a positive way, and make positive changes......and that he will even come to the Lord!!!
I will pray for his wife, to be supportive and loving and understanding when this big job takes him away from their family, and I will pray for their daughters, that they will still be able to have time with their father, and know that he loves and values them....I pray for them as a family, that this will strengthen them, and not draw them apart.
I also pray for everyone who did NOT vote for Obama, that their hearts will not be bitter, that they will join me in prayer for our nation's leader,and for the morality of our nation.
As Christians, we are not to give in to a spirit of Fear...instead, let us accept that what is, IS....and just do what we do best--live for God and be SHINING EXAMPLES of His love and acceptance to the world. Now, more than ever, we need to SHINE JESUS to the world!!!
HUGS to you all!!! May God bless each and evey one of you today and in this next 4 years of our
FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!
Pretty cool/interesting/wow to be living in part of history!!
