Family time....

Playing old school Ninetendo. 
We introduced our kids to the wonderful world of Tetris. 
I forgot how addicting that game is. 
And Trevor kicks butt at it. 
I was seriously amazed at his awesomeness.
We had a little tournament tonight and much to the other kids dismay, Stephen won. And so got an extra big piece of dessert.
But then the kids went to bed and me and Trev had a little bit more.
In all fairness, we opted out of the tournament because of our mad skills and so deserved an extra piece.
I imagine in no time at all, they will be beating us.
That's just the way kids are these days.

*********************************

Forgive me for having to add that since I'm on my "30th" day of the month (if you know what I mean), I was a little ornery. My kind husband took the kids out for a bit so I could have a little quiet time and returned home with a Diet Dr. Pepper just for me.
I love that man, in case I haven't yet made that point before.
That is all.

I have always sucked at Tetris, but Adam, he may have Trevor beat, that guy is incredible at Tetris. It shows through his dishwashing/packing skills :P

Oh man I haven't played Tetris forever! How fun to bring out the old school with the kids. We should look into getting an old nintendo...maybe my kids could actually play it since there aren't many buttons! :)

Seriously, Tetris is AWESOME! If I remember correctly, Trevor was also pretty good at Super Mario Bros.

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...
