I checked to see what picture it was before I decided to respond to this "tag". :) This is actually one of my favorite pictures of Lauren taken this past summer. She's eating almonds from the orchard right next to our property. Normally, we do not condone eating other people's crops, but these were the ones off the ground after the sweeper went through.....fair game! :) Both the girls live for almond season and spend hours out there opening the almonds and eating them...again, only the ones left behind!
Ok, I'll tag Kati, Melanie, Kala and Dren.......and like Sunny said, I won't be offended if you don't! (I just won't think you're very fun anymore! ha ha)

The other tag was from Kati and directed to all of her blog friends......
Tell 25 random things about yourself
1. My favorite book of the Bible (or one of the top 3 at least) is Habakkuk. Seriously, you should read it.....no one ever does and it is great!
2. John Calvin is a hero of mine.
3. My seven year old kicks my butt at sewing and running long distances. :)
4. At this point, I'm really not sure what my natural hair color even is!
5. I would take snow any day over wind!!
6. I miss nursing a baby.
7. I'm very suspicious of men who dye their hair, wear toupees or have comb overs.
8. I love homeschooling more than I ever thought possible!
9. I wouldn't go back to high school for all the money in the world! :)
10. I would rather spend 45 minutes trying to fit that one last plate into an already over- crowded dishwasher than take the required 2 minutes to wash it by hand. It's the thrill of victory when I finally make it fit!!
11. I hate dusting more than I can communicate in words!
12. I often drain the hot water heater when I take a shower.
13. I can't have any part of my body hanging over the edge of the bed when I sleep because I'm sure someone will grab it! (In my defense - and goodness knows I need one - my dad used to tell me at age 3 that there were monsters hiding under my bed that would grab my feet if I got up. That was his "technique" for keeping me from getting up repeatedly after they put me down. Nice huh?)
14. I grind my teeth in my sleep....or so my husband says!
15. The best gift I have ever received was for my 30th birthday from my dear friend, Kim...a donation of a flock of chicks in my name to Heifer Intl.
16. I could do without celebrities and professional athletes.
17. I cry easily....and often! :)
18. I have no patience for the self-righteous. 19. I have always wanted to adopt a child from Africa.
20. I am addicted to The Bachelor. It is awful, immoral and completely pathetic...but there I sit every Monday night. :)
21. I am a Martha and I tend to be annoyed by the Mary's of the world. It's something I'm working on.
22. One of my favorite passages in Bible is when Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego tell king Nebuchadnezzar, "If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand." And then the next verse sends shivers down my spine every time I read it, "But even if he doesn't, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods..." (Dan. 3:17-18) That is the kind of faith I strive for! 23. I am not a fan of character themed clothing on my children.
24. I throw everything away! Clutter makes me anxious and so just to be funny, God gave me pack rats for children! When I was changing Lauren's sheets today I found three of those little ice cream sample spoons from our local ice cream parlor. She thinks they're really cute and can't bear to throw them away! And you thought I had issues! :)
25. I've had a warrant out for my arrest. Seriously. And if you're one of the few people that doesn't know the story....try to guess... you'll never get it! It could only happen to me! :)

LOL, I checked my picture too before I decided to do the tag as well. I was not going to do it if it was some horrible picture of me!
#6- I do too. It's so weird because I really think we're done having kids but I do miss that time with a newborn.
#8- Yay! I hope I love it as much as you do!
#24- LOL, Lauren cracks me up. Jonah was telling us recently that Lauren loved to use the little spoons.
I loooove your list. It's so funny, I relate to many many many of them. We have even more in common than I thought!! I cram TONS of dishes into the dishwasher too... and even if I can't get them all in, rather than wash them by hand... I will just wait until the first load is finished. I also love that verse. It gives me chills too! Even when I read it just now I actually had goosebumps. What amazing faith.
OK, I wouldn't want you to think I'm un-fun, so I did post a pic. It's not terribly exciting.
