What we've been up to...

So now my dad has 5 grandsons. He let me know that now that we have a full boys basketball team I can now work on the girls' team. In a few weeks we will see!

The other day John taught Josh that another word for teeth were mandibles. I think they were talking about getting popcorn stuck in your teeth, and John likes to use weird words. I think that was Thursday, well Monday night he announced that he chewed his grapes with his mandibles. I laughed my socks off, actually I was barefoot, but you get the idea.

I got puffs tissues with lotion for my Valentine's day present. My last two pregnancies have plagued me with mucus overload, so I guess John thought he was being practical. My reaction would not be found in 'Created to be His Helpmeet.' How would you react to a gift such as this on the romantic holiday fabricated by Hallmark, See's Candies, and Pro Flowers? Ahem.

My Saturday I spent most of the time overdosing on Zofran and Unisom trying to numb the affects of a stomach flu. FUN! Praise the Lord it wasn't one of John's working Saturdays!

Out of sheer boredom I decided to count how many loads of laundry I need to do a week to "stay on top of it" meaning having only one load waiting. It was 31. Yes 31 in 7 days. I just want to do a whoop whoop to my high efficiency, large capacity GE washer and dryer for the abuse it has sustained in the last 2 1/2 years!

In efforts to be healthier (and to avoid strong aromas) we have been uncooking most of our meals. I realized this today when I had to dust my stove top. Amazing.

Josh's last basketball practice/game is Thursday. The following Tuesday will begin indoor soccer. No worries, he will only be playing this sport until 1st grade when he can play flag football.
