Do you live in a Magic House

Do you live in a Magic House. Recently I heard someone say her husband lives in a "Magic House". This got me to thinking Does my husband live in a "magic house?"

I was out mowing the lawn and the thought came to me yes he does. His laundry is done, shirts get ironed when they need it, the floors get vacuumed and swept, the bathrooms get cleaned, the toilet paper is always in the bathroom the lawn gets mowed, there is always some type of food in the house, the bills get paid, the kids homework gets done, the kids make it to scouts, young womens, soccer pratice, or whatever else they have going on. So yeah I was feeling pretty proud of myself. My husband lives in a magic house. That is I realized I live in a Magic World. My every want need whim cry or just plain out tantrum throwing usually gets me what I want. There is always money in the checking account to pay the bills, if there's not, then he finds a way to get me some. My kids never have to do without, we have never gone hungry even when the kids say there is no food in the house. Mother Hubbard has never lived here. I am continually blessed by all that my husband does for me and the kids. He works a ton of hours a week at his regular job, then he thinks he needs to be involved in the community so he volunteers his time to play with the big fire trucks and ambulance's. He never says no to me very often and if he does its only for a short time then he finds a way to get me what I want. He makes it so I can stay home with my kids, even though the youngest is in 1st grade. He never complains or says what about what I want what I need. He just fills the need, when I have a breakdown and think its to much he takes an hour of work to tell me just how much I do and that I can do it. He is always trying to be at everything the kids do even if it means missing dinner or a structure fire, he is always where he is needed most.

So in my ramblings I want to say without a doubt that my husband and most the time my kids live in a "MAGIC HOUSE".

But I also live in a a "MAGIC WORLD", that I wouldn't trade for anything in this world.

So what kind of house do you live in?

Paying in forward

Who doesn't love to pay it forward in some way or another. This year when I heard that James 5th grade teacher likes to do service for others instead of just concerate some much on the candy part of it I jumped at the chance.

Since Primarys Childrens Hospital holds a special place in our lives I knew what I wanted to have his class do. Tie fleece blankets and donate them to the hospital. So away I ran with it. I was able to gather 26 peices of fleece. I was thinking that we would have to have a couple of family nights to just finish tying. No not this amazing class. They where able to get all 26 tied in less than an hour.

We have had an amazing expiernce with these blankets I can't believe the comfprt they give to patients at the hospital.

The basic of what they do with them at Primarys is they like to give the child something to ease there fears when they are there having tests. I have seen how this has worked and how these simple blankets can help even after the death of a loved one.

 This is Paige telling us her experince that she had at the hospital and what a difference the blanket she recieved in calming her fears and anxiety.

The kids listening to Paige and the instructions on how to tie the blankets.

Here they are working so hard to get them done.

Some of the kids with the blankets they tied.

James and his amazing teacher that let us take up time in her day and do this amazing project.

This picture really makes me stop and think. It really makes me realize sick kids or not it should always be the child first and always. I am forever grateful that we as in my small little family has never needed to go to this hospital. I am extremely grateful to know that this hospital is so close so that if we ever do need to go I know the staff is dedicated and willing to help us.

This is my kids at the hospital dropping of the blankets. You are not allowed to go past a certain point but I was glad that I had a chance to take my kids up there to partake of this. I am so proud of them and there willingness to put others first.
