Monday's Thanks

So... I'm tired... these will be brief tonight :-)

1) had a meeting this morning that only lasted 30 minutes... I thought it was going to last MUCH longer

2) our dishwasher got fixed today. It no longer falls out when it is open :-)

3) the girls were supposed to have their cheerleading pictures taken this afternoon. It was a VERY windy day and so it was postponed until Thursday! We already have a game on Thursday, so now they don't have to dress twice!

4) snuggled with Josh during naptime today

5) got somebody to watch my little 3 while I take G to her 2nd Grade parents' night. I didn't realize until late last night that the notice said to leave siblings at home... oops.

Sunday's Thanks

1- I didn't have to set an alarm for this morning :-) Got to wake up all on my own... well, when the kids got up... but it is better than the alarm. The good thing is that we still had time to make it to church!

2- Though I am not glad that Sam isn't feeling well, I *am* glad that I realized I was out of Infants' Tylenol BEFORE the commissary closed this afternoon. And while there, I remembered we were out of bread AND peanut butter! What would I have done in the morning?!?

3- Amazing Race started tonight. I really do think Rob and I would ROCK at that show (or kill each other... there are times I am not sure which would happen)


4- Grace found the missing television remote tonight -- seems small but the cable box was set on Sprout. There's only so much Caillou this mama can take!


5- LOVE this song...

6- fall is in the air! The high tomorrow?!? 69 degrees. Nice. Talk of pumpkin patches and apple picking has started :-)


7- I am semi obsessed with my phone -- there are SO many cool freebies... like ringtones. I set a new ringtone for Analee. listen here

8- and the best of the night? Both girls fell asleep on my shoulders tonight while I was reading to them. Sometimes it helps me remember that they are little girls :-) I put them in the bed and had Josh climb into my lap for his turn. So, I read him to sleep too.

Random Thoughts...

**quite picture heavy**

So... I forget to blog. I think it is because Facebook is quicker. I update there and put pictures up and just assume everybody will see things there. It doesn't quite fill the space though--- I still have moments of wanting to write something. By the time I get to the computer, check email and skype (to see if Rob is online), I forget what I wanted to write about!

What to do... what to do?

I am going to try HARD to get back to my nightly thankfuls. I'll start tonight --

1) I felt like poopy last night ... and today I feel better :-) Not back to 100%, but a good 70%!

2) Took the kids to a new park today down in Elizabethtown. A friend told me about it and I tried to find it before, but couldn't find it. Today, I took the chance and went INTO the American Legion Park and VOILA... there it was! In the back of the AL Park :-)

(for those of you who would recognize, that is the SAME JSU shirt that we got for Grace 6-1/2 years ago for her first game -- all four have worn it)

3) Domino's for dinner. Like I said... haven't felt the best and didn't want to cook dinner. Can't beat their 3 for $15. That will feed us again for lunch tomorrow!

4) NCSU rocked the house today! Though, from what I can gather, it was a bit of a nail biter for a little bit :-)

5) Movie night with the kids tonight. And it stormed outside while we were cuddled up watching the movie. Very nice. Glad we had no plans tonight! My kids love Scooby-Doo ... and so do I :-)

6) Josh did well in another soccer game. His team was SO much better than the other team that his coach tried to make them NOT make goals... very confusing for 3-4 year olds. But Josh was #1 in assists today. He would take the ball TO the goal... then stop. Another of his teammates, that hardly ever get their foot on the ball, then kicked it in to score. I think Josh realized today that he is on a team... and others like to score too. And he really liked being a part of the scoring (assisting). I don't have any doubt, though, that he will get back to aggressive when the other team is also aggressive...

Here is Josh setting the ball up for a score:

And here is Natasha making the GOAL!!

7) I upgraded my poor cell phone. I was very hesitant... but I *love* my new one :-) So far, anyway...

1st Cheerleading Game

My Smart @$$ child

Tonight... I was trying to get the kids to help me clean up the living room so we wouldn't really have to deal with it over the long weekend.

Me: Grace, see that pillowcase.

G: Yes ma'am

Me: How about put it on that pillow (as I point to a 'naked' pillow laying on the loveseat)

This is what I find when I come back into the room...

Smart ass...

Faithism

So, Josh went to the movies with a friend this past Saturday night. He saw the movie Shorts.

I was talking with Faith about it:

Me: What movie did the boys go see??

Faith: Um... {insert thinking face}... Capris.
