Sharing some funniness...

Wow so it took me ALL afternoon and evening to fix my blog. It was so frustrating. I really did love the previous background layouts from the "cutest blogs on the block" but they were simply not loading, or taking too long to load. So I found a new layout. It did however cause me to loose some of my widgets. So I had to redo some stuff. But I'm pretty satisfied with the new look and am done with it for now!


Sharing some funniness...
Every night when I tuck Madeline into bed she picks out a prayer card from this box set Aunt Stormy sent her. She closes her eyes as I read it to her and then we make the sign of the cross after we're done with the prayer. She does the sign of the cross automatic now, but it's quite cute when she makes the motion across the shoulders from right to left instead of left to right! Last night she asked me, "Mommy, what is the Holy Spirit?" So I replied, "Remember Madeline when we've told you that God is everywhere like even in our hearts, but He's invisible...". Madeline cuts me off, "Oh ya mom God's invisible like when Curious George pretended to be invisible today...". LOL Well she is only 4. :-) But I thought it was a cute conversation. This evening she also asked me when I was pouring her a cup of milk, "Mommy how do they get the milk from the cow to us?....Oh I know, people pick it up from the farm, bring it to the store, put it in a jug and a nice cold spot in the store so we can find and buy it!" :-) My reply, "Madeline you're so smart!".

**Forgot to add 1 other funny...
So I decided to add Google AdSense to this blog (the advertisement banners you'll see on the left side when you scroll down). I have AdSense on my Sewing Projects blog, figured I'd just add it here to. Well what it does is search your blog for "key words or phrases" in order to display appropriate ads. Well when I viewed it after I added it, one advertisement was for "How to get rid of that fat stomach". The thing is, I don't believe I've ever posted about that topic - so do you think maybe Google searches the photos too!!?? Ha ha. Oh goodness.
