stinky breath

In the morning after Trevor leaves for work, I usually have two little boys come in my room and ask if they can sleep in my bed with me.
They climb on in and proceed to argue about who gets to sleep next to me.
I tell them that i have two sides and that Joshua can sleep on this side.
He says~ but i will fall off the bed.
And i say~ no you won't cause I'm right here.
So he lays down and we all go into a sort of sleep where we're tossing and turning but still being quiet.
The heater kicks on and we're all nice and warm and peaceful.
Then I catch a whiff of someones breath (and it's not mine cause I keep my mouth closed) and I realize that I'm in the middle of a stinky breath sandwich and then the nice, peaceful mood is kinda ruined.
But then I remember that they fought over who got to sleep next to me and that that'll only last for a couple more years (at the most) and I feel better.
I can deal with nasty breath.
But I definitely keep my nose covered with the sheets.

I have to chuckle a little because Analyn does the same thing. She climbs into bed with me in the morning, only I pretend I'm still sleeping so she won't bother me. But she pokes/prods/breathes on my anyway and I am forced to wake up:)

haha Oh stinky breath! Adam has this problem in the morning sometimes (I have to) and I usually have to turn the other way because I can't handle it. Of course I don't feel bad for turning because well he is old and I am stuck with him forever :P!

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...
