Confessions

I have an ESPN.com login.
I love my kids the most when they are sleeping.
I never make my bed. As Jim Gaffigan says, "I don't tie my shoes after I take them off either."
I can eat a pound of Sour Patch Kids in 2 days. And I have many times.
I have multiple pairs of sheets but I wash the same ones and put them back on so I don't have to fold them.
I crave Chuck-a-Rama.
I totally judge the parents of the child on a leash that is throwing a tantrum on the floor of Walmart at 10 pm. Poor kid. (Kids on leashes throw the worst tantrums.)
I never buy turtleneck shirts.
I don't know if I've ever worn a turtleneck.
I have to really think about which is left and right.
I have 8 pounds of butter in my fridge.
I know the names of all the Price is Right models. Gwendolyn, Amber, Rachel, Manuela.

I feel better now.

10 Months Old

Henry turned 10 months old on Wednesday.  He doesn't seem that old to me.  Probably because he doesn't crawl.  He scoots backwards though and gets really mad.

His tongue is always out. 

He reminds me of a little puppy because of that and....

...because he is always chewing on things. And the growling of course.

He can also clap his hands and he waved yesterday.  And he says 'hi' if you say it to him.

Sarah was feeling left out of the picture taking.

This summarizes my day.

Henry's binky has been missing for months but I didn't care since he never used it anyway. Sarah found it under the recliner in his room and gave it to him. It's just funny to see a baby not know what to do with one.  Bottles confuse him too.

 Everything makes it to his mouth eventually, I guess.

In other news: Justin is in his final month of school and the job search is in full swing. So if you want us near you, go ahead and help in the search.

After 6 years I went to the eye doctor for new contacts.  I've always worn hard and I'm trying out soft but am not impressed. I just want perfect vision naturally.

It was 71 degrees on Friday and now it's snowing. I love March.

Skills

Sarah climbed up onto the counter (my least favorite of her newly acquired skills) and began writing "annection" for her dad.  We still don't know what she meant.  Not instructions; that was my first guess.

Either Hitchcock totally understood the creepy factor of birds or he created it. My backyard was like the scene out of a horror movie. This picture doesn't do justice to the number of birds back there landing and swooping and chirping.  Oh the sound! I hate birds.

Sarah making her bed. I like this skill. Family, recognize the picture and wall hanging? Half of the stuff in Sarah's room is from my childhood room.

Saturday we went to Salem Pond to fish.  It was cold. 2 minutes after we got there, Sarah had to go to the bathroom which of course were locked for the winter. Want to know something weird? The mosquitoes were alive and well, nesting in the snow all along the bank. 

The 10 minutes of actual fishing. Sarah would yell "Cast!" when she cast.  She caught a stick and some seaweed.

Henry's first tooth looks so dang cute.  The second one is coming in fast so I wanted to get a picture of him one-toothed.  While he was eating was not the best time to do it.

Wait for it.

Oh there it is.

We went to the park on Monday.  The weather was awesome thus the park was very crowded.  When we were on the swings, Sarah said, very loudly, "When are we going to get an airplane and fly up and get Jesus?" She got some funny looks. So many things wrong with that question.

Sarah's Quote of the Week.

Me: Sarah, you're not the boss.
Sarah: I'm just bossy?
