Just a note of interest

I will be back to doing the 30 day challenge on Monday and I wouldn't normally be blogging right now but I have something to say or ummm, write.
I/we had a great night.
Yes, we actually did.

It really is close to amazing which, if you had been at our house for the last two days, you would totally agree.
Let me just put the last two days into one simple word. CHAOS. (let me add that there have been good moments, like nacho movie night where we watched Ramona and Beezus~my new favorite kid movie)

The kids have been out of school, which you all know I love, but they have been fighting, pretend and not so pretend, tattling, hitting, jumping~on everything, crying, yelling, etc, etc.

Trevor and I split the children up tonight, boys with him, girls with me.
And it was a huge success.
We (the girls) went to Cafe Rio, Despicable Me, Cold Stone and Target.
The was laughing and hugging and talking and giggling.
It was a remarkable evening.

And tomorrow morning I'm going to wash their hair (I only feel as if it's really clean if I do it. Controlling, anyone?) And then I will give each of them their own little manicure with a beautiful winter~y color.

I love my girls.

The girls & the boys, seperate. That's a great idea!!! I think Joey & I will have to try that some time this week, thanks for the idea! You're such a cute mom! And I TOTALLY understand the fighting, hitting stuff. It happens here, too. Have a great day!

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...
