It was a good weekend

Friday night we went to see a Phillies baseball game. We stayed the night in Phila as Noah was flying back to New Mexico early in the morning. Carson stayed behind and spent the night with my sister Tracey. They had lots of fun. Tracey took him to the Sea Isle boardwalk to play in the arcade plus he got another hermit crab. Thank you Tracey for watching my sweet baby boy. He loved hanging out with his "Best". Saturday it was a busy day lots of errands and busy work around the house. Sunday was church and then a potluck dinner and prayer send off for the eleven of us leaving for Guatemala Wednesday morning.
My sweet baby boy is going through the "But Stage". If we ask him to do something its 99 percent of the time "But Mommy or But Daddy" Sometimes the "buts" make me laugh however I find myself getting frustrated with his strong will and temper. Thank God Jonathan has a very calm and patient demeanor. I was sharing the story tonight about my thoughts pre parenting, I always thought my child would not act that way. My child will always listen, my child will follow all the rules. Yea Right! What the heck was I smoking?! Once again, I am praying this is "just" a stage...

But, Mom...

I know this stage well. I don't know if it is a "stage" or not. I have four kids all doing it at different ages. :)

I knew a lot more about parenting before I had kids. :)

Praying for safe travels for your team to Guatemala. I can't wait to hear about it.

We are going through, "WHY!?!?" Reese too is very strong willed....
