What's Up?

This has been a slow blogging week. Several times, I've come here with the plan to blog, but I'm going through a blogger's block, I suppose. Here's what's been going on the last week or so:

* My sister and I have two craft shows next week (Thursday and Sunday), so I've been busy making necklaces. Click here if you want to see what I've been up to!

* Barbara and Carter came to visit last weekend. Ezra's birthday was Monday, so they came up for his birthday party on Saturday. The highlights of the weekend with Grammy and Pop were bowling and dyeing Easter eggs(I can't believe I didn't get any pictures of either one of these activities!)

* MSA is upon us! The math MSA was Tuesday and Wednesday, and the reading MSA is next week. No, I can't talk about it!!

* Caleb has moved up to the 2's and 3's Sunday school class, which has not been without its challenges. He hasn't seemed to get comfortable yet, and there have been some things that have happened that have made me a little less than comfortable as well. He practices singing with the Cherub choir every week now, and his debut performance is on Sunday. We'll see if he sings...last week when I went to pick him up, he came running and screaming, "Don't make me sing! I don't wanna sing!" We've been very positive with him and have been singing the song over and over this week....so we'll see!

* Matt and I have been going through The Love Dare (the book featured in "Fireproof.") It has been really good for us. I'm learning a lot about myself and am trying to look differently at our marriage. I would highly recommend it.

* Caleb and I met Amy and the kids at Paint and Pottery today to paint an Easter egg. It has become an Easter tradition for the Bevard clan, so we decided to begin our own tradition. We hopefully made it a marbley blue/yellow...that was the goal! Caleb kept saying, "Paint, paint, paint! Paint, paint, paint!" while he painted. It was very cute!

* I have been getting a ton of good deals, thanks to this blogger. She is basically the free and good deal guru! I got Caleb's Easter outfit and a lightweight jacket for less than $20 shipped! I've learned about tons of freebies that have started rolling in. Check her blog out!

* I've been trying to stay healthy in this ridiculous weather. One Sunday, we got 11 inches of snow. The very next Sunday, it reached nearly 80 degrees. My classroom is frigid and then I sweat when I go out to recess. I can't wait for TRUE SPRING!!! I hate winter when it's just cold. I only like it when it does something to benefit me....like snow 11 inches and get me out of school for 2 1/2 days!!

Alright, that's about it. I know, it's not very exciting. I will think of something entertaining to blog about later. For now, I will leave you with my current favorite picture. He's searching for treasures on our road, but he carried a few of his own along for company. :)

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
