Can I Just Say...

...that Colleen is cute as a button? She came up to me in the yard, did this punch thing with her arms, said, "two...three...running..." and took off. Also, anything to do with time (tomorrow, yesterday, this morning etc) is "two clock." For example: "Daddy back? Two clock?" It cracks me up.

...that Brian is spoiled? He hasn't had to mow the lawn yet this year.

...that I am spoiled? Brian carries around Kate all evening (she still really likes him) and plays with the kids - I would much rather he do that than mow the yard.

...that I want this pattern for chickens? You MUST check out all of her pictures of the chickens and chicks here. The hen lays eggs too! She made cardboard nesting boxes. I'm in love.

She also has a pig pattern. The snouts of the piglets are Velcro and attach onto Momma Pig's tummy. Plus Momma Pig has a zippered tummy that you can store the piglets in or pretend they are being born! I Love this girl. She also loves making crafts for her kids out of cardboard and teaches you how to draft your own patterns. Check LiEr out!

...that Kate has another - well, probably the same - ear infection? Number 3. Poor kid. At this rate she is going to get tubes too.

...that I am excited for the city wide garage sale tomorrow? The thrill of the hunt!

...that it looks like Huxley is getting a grocery store! Read the story here at myhuxley.com.

...that I could spend a lot of money on fabric? Unfortunately/Fortunately, I don't...sigh...

...that I hope you have a good day.

Date Night Challenge

I joined the Project 52: Date Nights. Meaning a date night a week. Every week you post what your date night was and link up to the main site so everyone can share date ideas. Stay-at-home-date-nights are the norm for many of these in college couples. I had never thought of stay-at-home-dates until our Indiana bishop told us that was what he and his wife did every Friday after the kids were in bed.

This week we started off with a bang and went out to dinner - Indian - I could eat there Every Day.

Will you join? One hour a week spending some quality time with your mate. I bet you'll like it.

Last Night...

after a board game that ended in screaming,

Emily cried, "I want normal siblings!"
Brian asked, "What are normal siblings?"
"You know...ones my own age."
