Clogged drains

So our evening plans were thwarted when we got a phone call during dinner:
Trevor forgot about Roundtable and had to leave.
Quickly. 
me sitting at the computer a little pouty. Can you tell? :(
I got lil'wienies, bacon and brown sugar to make a delicious treat to eat while watching the Office. 
We'll now have to eat them while watching The Apprentice. 
I swear we do not watch t.v. all the time.
This will actually be the first time for us all week. 
Pinky swear. 
                                    
So while Trevor is at the church, the kids and I sat outside and watched the beautiful weather.
And now it's time for baths and showers, and putting sheets back on our bed and putting away laundry and making our Apprentice treat and saying prayers and reading scriptures and giving kisses and hugs and calming the cries from (still) being scared and waiting for Trevor to get home.
What a night.
Want to know why Trevor is such a great guy?
 When he got home from work today the sink was clogged (it's clogged a lot) and he didn't even complain. He just changed his clothes and drained the nasty water, took the pipes all apart and fixed it: all while listening to me prattle on about my day. And of course, it was my fault that it was clogged since I put celery and eggshells down the drain. And he didn't even so much as look at me crossly.
Only 22 more days till it's been 11 years.

That's the face I have almost every Wednesday when Chris leaves for Scouts. :)

That"s the face that they have while they are working with the scouts; instead if being home.

Hey - We have the same taste in shows! :) Am I the only one who is thanking my lucky stars that we're back to regular ol' Apprentice? I couldn't stomach the "celeb" (ha) version!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
