My Little Men
Cal's favorite place on earth is anywhere his big brother and sister are. He loves to wrestle with Jake, snuggle with MG, read stories with Daddy, play transformers and pretend he is a lion. Cal knows all the words to "Jesus Loves Me" and after we kiss good night that is the song he wants to sing.
My prayer for these little men is that they grow into (insert Jake's voice here!!!) "Good, Holy, Strong, and Mighty" men always looking to and trusting God. My cup runneth over for these boys!!!!

Just Another Saturday Morning at the Bacsik House
In the Bacsik family, the members are represented by 2 separate but equally important groups: the children, who usually create chaos; and the parents who battle through the chaos and manage to survive. These are their stories...... BUM! BUM!
5:58am Sleeping peacfully, dreaming of a beach in Italy....
5:59am "Luke!" (silence), back to dream....Beach, Italy, however now someone is screaming...Luke?!?!
6:00am "Luke Skywalker! I can't find it!"
Jake is awake.
Stumble down the stairs to find Jake's newest obsession- Luke Skywalker.
Find Luke! Proactive- find all Star Wars figures!
To the kitchen...must start the coffee or won't....be....able....to....do....anything.....else.
6:04 MG wanders in- "Mom, I'm thirsty."
Make 2 orange juices, say a prayer the baby stays asleep a little longer, start load of laundry.
"Mom, I want to pee pee in the potty!"
Help Jake take off diaper and pee pee in the potty.
Deliver the orange juices- "we are hungry!"
Turn on a cartoon, find Luke again, back to the kitchen to make toast.
Deliver toast with jelly to the big kids- "we wanted waffles!"
Deliver mean look, the kids eat their toast!
Feed dog, paint 8 t-shirts for MG's school christmas program, pray Cal keeps sleeping.
7:15am Mike wanders in- kisses little heads watching cartoons, complains that he can't sleep with all the screaming.
Mike drops a pan in the kitchen.......Baby AWAKE!
Make a bottle, check email while he drinks it, another load of laundry.
8:00am No Milk....Mike to grocery store.
8:15 MG wants to color....get out coloring books. Unload dishwasher.
Set Cal in high chair with some fruit.
Make toast and finally warm up the cup of coffee I poured at 6:15am.
Cal eats his fruit, half of MY toast and feeds the other peice of toast to the dog.
