Summer

I've been a bad blogger lately and I'm having a hard time feeling bad about it. Summer has been busy and I've had to stop blogging as much as I was. Also I've decided that since I'd like Trevor to not fall asleep during movies at night, that we should get to bed about ten o'clock on the weeknights and only watch movies on the weekends. We haven't been able to test it to see if it'll really work but maybe this Friday? It's at least given him more rest for days he does have to work.

Some of our chickens have started to lay eggs. We're getting about three a day. Of course that number could diminish if Carl keeps picking the chickens up by his mouth like he did today but hopefully he doesn't frighten them too much. Our roosters are living their last days. Trevor is trying to convince me that we should butcher them by ourselves, at our own home, and I'm trying to convince him otherwise. I have a feeling he is going to be the winner this time.

I impressed Trevor tonight when he realized he could fold me in half. It seems as if he's forgotten this picture:
He figured out that he could fold the kids in half also. I tried to do it to him and I think he almost had a heart attack. He's pretty flexible otherwise though.


I have a new favorite singer...I know, I always have a new favorite. This time it's Matt Nathanson. So far, I haven't heard one of his songs that I haven't liked. AND Trevor likes him also. Kind of. As much as he can like a singer that doesn't sing country music. 


Right now he's laying on the couch waiting for me to go to bed and I'd much rather do that than stay here on the computer. 


Good night!

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...
