Today is my 29th birthday, five times over. It's been a rather interesting day overall, one frought with adventure, excitement...no, wait, that was the latest Indiana Jones movie....
I was awakened this morning with a physical problem which persisted through the entire day. It put quite the damper on our fesitivites (and it's still bugging me) but I finally decided around 11am that I was going to do my best to shelve the problem (to my CU education friends, remember that from Dr. Frank's class??) We proceeded with the plans Rob had set for my day.
First off, Rob had the day off work b/c the Custom Shoppe closed for the week. He was going to take a vacation day anyway, so he'd have been home either way. When I came downstairs after my shower, he was busy making a breakfast of biscuits (he makes the best!), bacon, eggs, and coffee. I had several presents waiting for me as well. Matthew gave me a candle that smells like apples, Ben had a Dove chocolate bar for me, and Anna got me a six-pack of Diet Coke, which she tried to hide in her pack-and-play :) My in-laws sent a cute devo book and a picture frame with a necklace that I can put a pic into. Rob had made me a card with my stamp stuff (really a pretty good job for a complete novice) and had a list of things we would do that day. He bought me a yummy cake from the bakery downtown, although it was supposed to have just a pumpkin on it. The bakery got "cute" and added lots of Halloweenish stuff to it, but that's okay.
We went out for lunch to Upper Krust, which was good as usual. This time they had chicken pot pie..they were out last time we went. Oddly enough, we met up with a family Rob knew from Normal. Their daughter and her husband were married 1/2 hour before Rob and I and our children are the same ages (although we have one more.) That was kind of funny.
We went to Hat Creek Candle afterwards so I could get my free birthday gift and use my 50% off birthday coupon. I got a Cappuccino Hazelnut candle...I just LOVE the smell of coffee!! We came home and put the two youngest down for naps and then I went to the library BY MYSELF to pick out some new reading material.
On the spur of the moment tonight, we decided to take the kids trick-or-treating to the outlet mall. We already went on Sunday (Matthew was Dash, Ben was Eeyore, and Anna was a dalmation puppy) but we wanted to get the kids out and it just isn't my birthday w/o trick-or-treating. Since their costumes were still drying from Sunday, we hurridly put some things together for them. Matthew had an old dinosaur costume, Ben had some Bob the Builder overalls and a hardhat, and we put Anna in a Chicago Bears football uniform to scare all of the Packer fans around here. We had a blast and ran into a good portion of our Sunday school class and their children. Rob surprised me and bought me a Rachael Ray cookbook at the Reader's Digest store and then we all headed home for mushroom burgers, Rob style. Yummy!
The boys are now watching a video, Anna is sleeping on Rob, and I'm still in pain, but it was a good birthday. Thanks for all of the phone calls and cards from the family.

"McDonald's is broken!"
Last night, the guys headed off to get some sandwiches from McDonald's. They left around 6:20pm after waiting for Mommy to get out of the bathroom. As they were heading down the street, they heard sirens ahead and saw lots of smoke. McDonald's was on fire! The fire call came at 6:11 pm. Apparently, wiring in the ceiling caught fire in the restaurant and before long the entire place was filled with smoke. Had my guys left earlier, they would have been in the drive-thru at the time. God is good!
On their way back from Culver's, they passed MickeyD's again and saw the ladder truck spraying down on the place, smoke filling the playland, and flames shooting out of the building. For the next two hours, we heard fire trucks heading past our place. Rob went out at 8:45 to see what was left of it and saw them putting out the remaining smaller fires.
So, our McDonald's is all gone. We had made a family pact not to eat in the restaurant again until Ben was potty-trained. Guess he got himself an extension :)

I wonder...
...if my family will ever be completely healthy again. We seem to keep passing a cold/cough around the house. I thought we were all over it, then Ben woke up around 4am with a cough. I gave him some meds (don't care what the experts say, cough medicine DOES work and DOES help them sleep!!!) and Rob took him downstairs to sleep. Rob can sleep through anything in any position, so that's why he took Ben. And then I laid awake upstairs listening to Ben cough off and on until he went back to sleep and then was joined by Matthew. Grrr....and then I woke up with the cough and stuff. I JUST GOT OVER MY COLD A FEW DAYS AGO!!!!
Hmm...but God it still good. All the time. He wouldn't constantly allow my family to be sick without a reason. Will it make the childrens' immune systems stronger so that in a future ministry when we have less accesst to health care they will be fine? Maybe. Could be another reason, but I'm not going to doubt Him. We'll just keep drinking our juice and we'll all be going on Shaklee vitamins in a little bit to see if that won't help us all. (If you've never heard of Shaklee, go to their website. Their success stories are amazing, especially those dealing with serious illnesses.)
So, coughing, hacking and wheezing, the Litwillers will march through this winter. Or crawl. Or possibly be carried on gurneys.

Field Trips
We've taken a few field trips in the past week, one just to give Rob time to get work done. I took pictures but I'll be posting them on Facebook. I have to wait a very long time for them to load and I'm only doing it in one place. :)
Last Saturday I took the children to Eberts Greenhouse for their Fall Festival. We saved a little money so that they could participate in the attractions that cost something. Last year they just had fun in the kids area but I knew there would be a few things Matthew would want to do and I really hate saying no. So, I bundled them up and we went. Turned out that the weather was beautiful and they didn't need to be so warm. Good thing too, because I forgot Anna's blanket at home :) The first thing they saw was a large, inflatible slide. When we went last year, it was too windy for the inflatible things. Well, as we entered, an employee informed us that due to the rain the previous evening, the inflatibles were not open until they were dried off. At least we had the promise they would open, so we went and bought some tickets. I'm always amazed at how costly things can be for two children. Ben's old enough to do most things Matthew can, so paying for two kids adds up! Anna can just take her time growing, as far as I'm concerned.
Since the inflatibles were still wet (as well as the corn maze and path for the hay ride) we went to the Kid's Village and they played in the three little houses for children. There is a cottage, a barn, and a schoolhouse. They bounced from one to the other, as well as the wet sandbox, and had a ball. They weren't too interested in the animals this year, which is fine, because they don't excite me either :) After letting them play for a long time, we did the boring Mom thing and I made them see the rest of the place. Eberts has pumpkin and straw people all over in the shapes of storybook characters and I thought the kids would like to see them . I was apparently the only parent forcing their children to do this so we had the walk to ourselves :) We did do the fishing pond (Matthew caught a squirt gun and Ben caught Spiderman sidewalk chalk) and picked up pumpkins (like picking up ducks only with mini pumpkins.) When we finished our walk we ended back up in the inflatibles part and they were open.
Okay, the inflatible slide gets its own paragraph. It's really tall and I knew Matthew could handle it and that there was no stopping Ben if Matthew was going, so I sent them up shoeless and with tickets. They had a blast, although Ben struggled to get up the ladder. The preteen running the thing barely looked at the children and only after a mom asked did he say that the kids could go three times. My boys could have stayed there all day long without him knowing! I know that because they still had their tickets when they were done (Matthew went four times and Ben two, so it balanced out) and when Matthew tried to hand the boy his tickets, he told Matthew to take his shoes off if he wanted to go. I told the boy that Matthew had already went, that he hadn't collected tickects, and that he might want to pay attention to the kids on the slide! Good grief! Glad we parents were there supervising! That's the first time we've been on a poorly-supervised inflatible thingy and we've done lots of them!
We then we back to play in the kid's village and then chose our pumpkins and cookies. We went home afterwards and the kids were pretty happy with the visit.
Yesterday, we went to Maranatha for a dramatic play workshop hosted by Ben's Sunday School teacher's early education class. Last year, the boys had fun. This year it was terrifying for them. We were among the last ones there, so it was pretty noisy when we arrived. Two college girls approached the boys, asking if they wanted to pick out costumes and be read to. The boys panicked; Matthew clinging to me and Ben crying. I tried to get them to pick a costume (Anna was an adorable lady bug) but they refused and would not leave my side, even when Ben's teacher approached them. They wouldn't do circle time and sat on my lap through most of the program. They are pretty intimidated in new situations so it wasn't too surprising. I know we'll be invited next year b/c Ben will be in the same class, but I'm not sure if we'll go. Crazy kids!
And last night was the Fall Festival and 40th anniversary celebration at Maranatha (it's a concert...the title is misleading) and Rob and I attended. The kids went to Kiddie Kampus, which is the pre-school/daycare run by MBBC. Anna and Matthew had a blast but Ben was pretty intimidated. He just doesn't like new situations. When we left, he and Matthew were together, but they took the older children out later, so Ben was by himself. I wish I would have left instructions that Ben was to stay with Matthew, but he seems to be okay this morning, so he wasn't scarred for life.
The concert, by the way, was amazing. It deserves it's own post. I did not realize how much God directed the founding of this college. I'll have to post it later because breakfast is ready and we're cleaning the house today from top to bottom :)

First Quarter Update
We have officially finished nine weeks of homeschooling and in a traditional school setting, that constitutes one quarter of the year. Wow. When I look back at this short period of time I can't believe how much learning has taken place in this household! We'll take it person-by-person.
Matthew: Well, since he is the main focus of our little school, it stands to reason that he should be first. He just loves his schooltime and begs for it every day. We usually meet in the mornings during Anna's naptime so that I only have one other child to deal with instead of two. If that doesn't work, we sometimes meet in the afternoons. I prefer those times b/c the other two are napping and Matthew is constantly begging me for something do to (in spite of the art center I made for him so he can occupy himself.) But he prefers mornings, being a creature of habit. Anyway, we have a letter, number, color and shape that we focus on each week and he knows all of them already so it's just review for him. I'm trying to step up to the next level and have him write, but his fine motor skills are not as developed as his brain, so we muddle through as best we can. I don't want to start a formal handwriting program yet and he is having fun writing as many letters as he can on his own. I have a workbook from Wal-Mart that allows him to trace all of his letters and he enjoys that. In fact, he loves all workbook pages and would do as many as I'll allow! The other skill we're working on is cutting with scissors. I'm trying to teach him how to hold them properly and cut on a line. Not an easy task for someone so eager to cut!
It became pretty obvious that the material presented was easy for him and he was playacting school more than anything. So, I decided to supplement what we are doing by teaching him to read. I chose the book "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" because several friends have used it and recommended it. I was skeptical at first, but 28 lessons into the book he loves it! Today he even declared that reading lesson was his favorite part of school time. Now, that didn't come without lots of frustration and tears. Matthew gives up easily when something is too hard for him, so we've had lots of lessons about persevering and lots of pep talks from Mommy and Daddy. My goal went from five lessons a week to three and we divided lessons in half when needed. Rob has even taught a lesson or two just to give him a change of teacher. We keep telling him that he is very smart and that he CAN learn to read. We've promised him a trip to the Jelly Belly warehouse outside of Milwaukee when we reach lesson 50 and have a brochure as the bookmarker to remind him. He's working hard to get to his goal and finished seven lessons this week because HE wanted to! We would have done one more, but Anna woke up :) (Thanks, Mom, for using incentives with us! I have always remembered how you rewarded our work, especially how you promised Joel his Ecto-pack for good grades.)
Benjamin: When Ben sticks around for school time, he does learn a bit. He is picking up his colors and shapes and possibly even his letters. I figure since I did very little formal things with Matthew at that age, I'm not going to push Ben. He just enjoys being read to and he will do some worksheets (which he finds very easy). He's also learning all of the manners and health stuff along with Matthew, which has been helpful. We think that he's left-handed so I'm going to need to figure out how to teach him to write. I may find a lefty that writes well to do it for me.
Anna: She loves to explore her world and is now crawling. Babies are natural scientists, so she has learned about reflections, water going down drains, what everything tastes like, and a bit of signing from her Baby Wordsworth video. At least she moves her hands when she sees the signs :)
Mommy: I have learned that I can do this. I've read scads of books on homeschooling, all from different perspectives, and plan to read Charlotte Masons' work next. I've also learned that I can teach Matthew. That's what getting over the hurdles of the reading lesson has done for me: shown me how to teach my own son. It's pretty cool and I actually got tears in my eyes the first time he read well. Oh, I should say that Matthew always prays before we start "school" and asks Jesus to help him with reading. God really deserves all of the praise and glory for that accomplishment!
Daddy: Well, I don't know about the big guy. He's trying to keep his head above water with his own studies. At least he doesn't have a high-maintainence pregnant wife to deal with this year. (He says I'm medium-maintainence at best.) He enjoys hearing about the kids' school time and they proudly tell him what they've learned. He chips in when he's home. I know he's good for science experiments when we get there!
And that's the first quarter update from Bob's Preschool, a school dedicated to the philosophy that everyone learns all of the time, regardless of age.

Ha and Blah
The ha: I got on the computer a few minutes ago to reserve a movie at the library. Matthew asked what I was doing and I said, "Well, there's this movie I want to put on reserve and if I don't do it now, I'll forget. Sometimes if Mommy doesn't do things when she thinks of them she'll forget to do them." His response, "NO WAY!!" Yes, Matthew, Mommy does occassionally forget something...
The blah: Anna has stomach flu. It started last night, she slept through the night (all of my children have the ability to sleep through illnesses, even coughs) and started up again this morning. Poor baby is taking another nap. I took her to the doctor to check for dehydration and b/c babies with stomach flu scare me. He said she's okay and just to get fluids down her as I can and watch for signs of dehydration. The most pathetic thing she did today was crawl over to Rob and fall asleep on his shoes. (Oh yeah, did I mention that she's crawling now? Started last week, but she doesn't do long distances yet.) I think the rest of the fam had a mild version of the flu. I'm really hoping and praying that we all built a good immunity to it last winter with that nasty rotavirus.

All I want for Christmas....
So Matthew and I were talking today and out of the blue I asked him what he wanted for Christmas. Without hesitation he said, "I want a real gun so I can go out and shoot a deer. Then I'm going to take it to a guy and have him skin it and roast it. Then I'm going to give it to people." After a bit more questioning he also said, "And I'm going to have my picture taken with the deer head." Gotta love living in Wisconsin!

Nanna
My little Nanna (as we call her) had a doctor's appointment about two weeks ago and I realized that I never posted her stats! She was 18 lbs 9oz (90th percentile) and 26 1/4 inches long (75th percentile). Her head was in the 65th percentile but I can't remember the measurement. She's as roly-poly as ever. My sister commented that all of Anna's weight is in her belly and I believe she's right, although she has very chunky legs and wrists. She's predominately in 12mo. clothing, although a few 18mo. outfits fit her.
She's getting ready to crawl right now and has all the parts and pieces learned. Once she figures out how to put everything together, she'll take off! The boys both crawled at 7mos so I'm not too surprised with her. After that milestone comes the pulling up and walking. I'm curious to see if she's like Matthew (walking at about 9mos) or Ben (walking at 11mos) Maybe she'll be nice to me and put off the walking until later, but I doubt I'll get that lucky. She's a smiley little thing that charms the socks off everybody. She especially loves to see Daddy come home and saves all of her special grins for him. Rob's in big trouble when she gets older....better make room for a pony somewhere....

Goofy Boy
Tonight I was giving the boys a preview of what we will be focusing on next week. I told them we will cover the letter H, the number 7, the color black, circles, and Health and Exercise. Matthew replied, "Hell and exercise??" Rob and I lost it because, you know, they do kind of go together.....
