Randi's Random

-
I have been a lucky girl through this blog. I have won a necklace, $100 gift card, a cool puzzle, and now the Ultimate Potty Training Pack! This makes me worried about my chances of winning the Whrrl SITScation giveaway. Can my luck go on?

Not that I've won all of this recently. This is since I started my blog. And in comparison to contests and giveaways I've entered, this is not a lot. Yeah, I spend a lot of time entering those - I should probably find a more productive time waster. haha

I like winning stuff (who doesn't?). I never won anything in high school (or college). I especially like winning stuff for my kids; stuff I would never otherwise be able to get for them.

Anyway, this is kind of a random post. :) We're gearing up for Labor Day weekend. We really wanted to go on a mini-vacation to Colorado but funds are down and we have so little time to do anything in even with the extended weekend. One of our good friends gets married Friday evening (and Squirt gets vaccines Friday morning). Saturday we have a birthday/Husker party to kick off the football season and celebrate a first birthday.

The State Fair is this week, too. So sometime over this weekend, I want to take the boys to the fair. Take Moose on the Ferris Wheel!

Tomorrow some friends are visiting for lunch (Moose's girlfriend & family). I have a friend who is due Thursday and delivering in a nearby city so I'm hoping to go visit her and her little girl soon. We also have a friend due Friday but I don't think we'll make it to visit her in the hospital. But they don't live far away so I'll have to make a trip over to their apartment.

Anyway, like I said, random. I took a super long walk with the boys & did yoga today - I'm tired.

Lucky you! I never win anything. I won one giveaway of fabric once, and it never arrived. :( Have fun with all those new babies!

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
