My Little Drummer Boys: Things I know

Things I know

Trust... lately many things seem to be dealing crushing blows and disappointment all round for my hubby. I do know that the trust my little guys have in their Daddy and their love for him makes up for the people who heap *IT* on him.

I know even though he has always has one or both hanging off one hand or helping him ~~lose~~ with his tools - he wouldn't have it any other way. They race each other to be the first to the door , with arms flung open wide when they hear him come home. They race to fight over the car seat with the view of Daddy. Sweet ... but oh so many tears for the loser.

I know I'd love a bit more sun and sand right now and oh a beach holiday. Just Dreaming !

I know I've had a few reviews lately. I really only do ones that are relevant to me, even unpaid ones. I wouldn't mind a few comments though...

I know someone must want to win Pinocchio - Blu ray and DVD pack worth $49.95.

I know you will never see me me doing reviews on tampons or toilet paper. Though the bottom line is I love entering such giveaways . Recently I won a year's supply of both in different giveaways. It will help us make ends meet and plug a few leaky holes in our budget.

I know a years supply or 336 rolls looks like this

That's a lot of toilet paper! I won the years supply of laundry liquid in the same giveaway! It is defiantly helping the budget.

And I am cracking myself up over this line:

"It will help us make ends meet and plug a few leaky holes in our budget."

I know you are funny! :-P

Wow that is a lot of loo roll! Confession... I desperately wanted to win it myself! Nice loo paper is so expensive when you consider what its used for! I won't stop commenting on giveaways, even if I can't fit them in on my blog anymore, I could always be persuaded to enjoy the results of someone else's! My girls thank you too!

Congrats. Both awesome prizes. Seriously adds up to some significant savings over 12 months. Just a bugger they give all that toilet paper to you at once. I'd have to kick one of my kids out of the house just to make room for it.

I love the photo of the hubby with your boys, your twinnies look just divine!!! You are so right that they make up for everything that may go wrong. Mine do this for me every day when I miss my family who lives overseas. I hope your days will become a little brighter soon, have a lovely weekend.

I must admit I am one who doesn't read a blog when i see a product review turning up..I think I just tune out with ads. I like to think I can make up my own mind where products are concerned even though I do like to try new products. I am sorry your hubby is finding life a bit rough at the moment..I hope things improve in his court. I am impressed with your stack of toilet paper..you won't have to remember to get some for a whole year..very very impressed I am.

Couldn't go past a comment, I'm pretty new to your blog but glad I read it today. It is amazing how much we can endure with children in our lives. They give us hope and I'll be thinking and praying for your hubby's situation. Also loved remembering how my boys would race to the door for hugs when their dad got home, they're 8 and 9, and don't do it as much anymore:(. My 3 year old still does but tonight I'll get the older ones to do it, it does make a dad feel the love:) and appreciation.

Wow, so much toilet paper in one place! And how do they come up with the figure of 336 rolls being a year's supply? That's almost 1 roll per day... fascinating!

On a more serious note, I do hope all is well with your hubby. It is amazing how our precious children can heal us and ease our troubles. Beautiful photo.

The beach shot is gorgeous. I love a man who enjoys time with his children. It has always been something I find attractive in a man:).

Love the photo Trish. Just curious, how do they decide how much toilet paper equals a year's worth? That's an interesting blog post...so, how many rolls of toilet paper do you use a week? hehe I shall go forth and enter your giveaways right now. Hope you're having a lovely weekend. xx

What dreadfully funny puns you have used! I love that picture of your hubby and boys. I can't believe we go through 336 rolls of loo paper a year! That is a lot of trees! I hope it is the recycled stuff you have won???? x
