Time flies when you should be blogging. Cole asks me intermittently to blog. I like that the he likes to read, but the pressure!!! But I found one (and only) printed blog books and the guilt came crumbling...
so here's things I need to blog about
two camping trips
Christmas
Adventures in Narnia
Substitute Teaching (there could be a book)
Brandon's job
new floors
oh our cat..have I not blogged about the cat?
wanting to keep my kids young..socks, rollercoasters
Brandon's grandparents
the owl outside our window
summer
my (lack of) style-
a couple of don't want to forgets...
I walked in the girl's room the other night after "lights out", Hannah's sitting there and dryly spouts out, "This is lame". Often I want to ask her how old she thinks she is.
Laura has baby fever, bad. She's keeps asking to hold babies, see babies, take care of babies, for us to have a baby. Some of those we help to happen as often as possible and put off the rest :). She's such a good sister to Hannah and helper to me.
Cole makes me laugh a lot. Here's a story that will not seem as funny in type as it was in person, but I want to remember it none the less.
Back story..my mom LOVES horse racing. A year or so ago we gathered with a good part of the family and mom asked us to watch the movie Secretariat (movie about a race horse).
This week was the last of the triple crown for horse racing and mom told us about the horse 'I'll have another' that had a chance to make history by winning this particular race (and of course was very excited about it). On Friday we found out that the horse had an injury that would prevent it from racing. We were disappointed for the horse and for mom, then Cole says, "Well, the good thing is, in five years I won't be forced to watch a movie about a racehorse". It was so funny to Cole and I we couldn't stop laughing long enough to tell why we were laughing so hard. Love that kid's thought process - most of the time.
I can't say that everyday/moment/week is joyfully bloggable, but it should be documented that life is a huge lump of happy right now.
more ponderings from the porter's point of view to come, next guilt trip, maybe tomorrow, one of our summer daily things is to write in our journals, this is that for me right now...so bad!
