carl, batman and tuesday.

I haven't blogged since last Thursday and I was kind of starting to miss it. 

Over the weekend, I turned 32. And I feel terrific. As if I wouldn't...I mean, I'm still a spring chicken, unlike Trevor who is so old...He took Friday off so we could spend the day together and we had a fantastic day. He learned the joys of jean shopping with me which he most likely will never do again~I'm a picky person. After that, he took me to lunch at Red Robin, our favorite place for a hamburger. Then it was grocery shopping, napping, he made me craisin white chocolate chip cookies, blt sandwiches, angel food cake and then it was bedtime for the kids. (we stayed up celebrating...no early bedtime for us!) 
We had a great rest of the weekend as well. My birthday may have been the highlight but there were a lot of awesome things that happened. Like seeing the Hunger Games with Scott and Jenee, painting the boys room, building a chicken coop, nacho movie night on Saturday, more naps and dinner at the Haslems on Sunday. 
We were kind of sad to start Monday. 

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

You know you've missed seeing pictures of Carl, right? 

To remind you of his cuteness, here's a shot I took today:



He was very happy during this picture since I was giving him handfuls of my popcorn.

I am that kind of dog owner (unfortunately).

What happens when a batman-obsessed 5 year old loses his little batman through the return air vent? 


This happens:


Honestly, I thought his world was going to end, he was so sad. But Dad got home, tried unsuccessfully to

get it out, recruited Emily to help since she has smaller arms and Josh and his little batman were reunited.

Thank heavens!

Big news, big news!!! Candice and Quinn are coming to town tomorrow to stay with us and we are flippin'

excited. We can hardly contain ourselves! Yay!!!!

And did you notice I have better pictures today? That's because Jenee lent me her camera and I couldn't be

more pleased or thankful!!

And now that Monday is over (which was actually a really good and productive day) we can start on the

rest of the week.

Tuesday's always more exciting anyway.

I enjoyed reading this post; fun(ny). I am still laughing about our 'women's jean shopping' conversation from Sunday night... :o)
I hope you have a great time with Candace (and her family) this week!

Chris told my boys that Batman and Spiderman live inside the air vents of our house so now every time they get close to a vent, they peek inside to see if Batman or Spiderman is there. Glad that Josh and Batman have been reunited! ;)

Looks like one sad little boy...I am always amazed when a big sister can rescue the superhero.

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...
