One-Liner

12/2010
Owen & I were reading Twas the Night Before Christmas (because Christmas is tomorrow according to the munchkin) & he saw Santa and said, "Mom, I am going to eat his nose." I laughed and asked why. He said,"Cuz it looks like a grape. Mom, isn't that just like a grape?"

Glow Sticks!

I saw this as an unpublished post. I have no idea when it was or how to rotate the photo but...here you go!
I saw this on Pinterest and wanted to give it a try. I grabbed 2 tubes of glow bracelets in the $1 section of Target and let them go. They had a great time!
Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the future.

My days are filled with trips to and from the kids' schools, volunteering, cleaning house, taking care of pet (currently 2 dogs, 6 fish, 3 frogs), talking with friends, and making plans. I feel like there is so much I want to remember about these times but I can't pick a medium and stick with it. I had this blog, I did scrapbooking, I have a couple of apps, and Facebook but...there isn't one spot where historians will be able to look to find an accurate account of this life. Maybe I need to come back here...let the words flow faster and more generously than scrapbooking and facebook allow. I wish there was a way to print these pages...to put in a scrap book!!!! Hahahahaha!

Anyway, it is 10:07pm. 3 little boys are sleeping (after one pre-sleep daydream by Owen about Charlie dying that made him sob). Eddie is closing up curtains and locking doors and putting the final touches on his Dad's birthday card. The dishwasher is running...making a plink-plunk sound on a dish or two. The breeze coming in the window is perfect after today's heat...as long as our silent neighbors don't light up. The ceiling fan is on but has been unbalanced since we moved in so it rythmically goes tong-tong-tong-tong. :) Tomorrow will be another crazy day filled with park excursions, to-do lists, music, and giggles..dappled with exhaustion and daydreams of naps. :)

I am very grateful for this life.
