10 things about today.

1. I woke up to the girls room looking like this:


Yes, it does, in fact, look worse than last night. And yes, that is an egg box on the floor. Apparently

Annabelle has big plans for it.

2. Trevor and I had lively discussion at the dinner table about our school system and whether or not kids

should be served 3 meals a day at school. At one point, Trevor was called a "democrat" for using bogus

statistics. But I also said "It takes a village to raise a child" and was reminded of WHO made that saying

famous. I took it back and have regretted saying it since.

4. We had lasagna for dinner....with homemade "sheet" noodles. SHEET noodles, people. Anyone else

reminded of "The Help"?

5. Trevor and I sat on the couch and looked through this book:


It brought back some great memories.

6.Joshua worked out this morning to P90X and afterwards, pointed to his nipples and said "They're getting

stronger." Strong nipples are highly underrated.

7. The girls made us laugh tonight. But they always make me laugh. Like this picture I took of them:

It's just a little awkward, right? But in an absolutely adorable way.

8. I went to Wal Mart today because I have been inspired to start cross stitching. Unfortunately, cross

stitching appears to be from yesteryear because our Rexburg Wal Mart had none of the supplies to do it.

There goes what I'm sure would have been a extremely useful and marvelous talent.

9. I learned to make bows from a really cool blog today. And now that I know how, I'm going to make a

million of them and put them on everything.

10. Trevor came home today at his usual time: 6:15 and we have had a stupendous evening. It's been really,

really great. And in about 20 minutes me and Trevor will be watching the new New Girl episode and eating

Milk Duds.

Don't worry Sarah...she didn't 'coin' the phrase... she borrowed it from an Old African Proverb;) Love the picture of the girls!

Calling Trevor a democrat was really good for a laugh from me. It is a good photo of the girls.

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...
