Hubby shout out!

Here's a little early birthday shout out to my sweet hubby!
Here are just ten out of the many many things I love about you...
10. You are right all the time, just like me. :)
9. You don't mind sandwiches or cereal as a back up meal in case the first plan-my experiment- went wrong.
8. You take care of the wrinkles in your clothes and have never made me feel guilty for not ironing.
7. You do a great job cutting the boys' hair.
6. You sometimes let me watch food network iron chef with you instead of a show of your choice.
5. You take charge of returning the movies and keeping enough milk in the fridge.
4. You give the last good bite to the kids or me even when you really want it.
3. You willingly hop up out of the rocking chair, so I can sit there with the baby, even when you were all settled in.
2. You get up to get me water, even after you have already sat down (I forgot to ask sooner). ps (I really try to remember before you sit down)
1. You are the best husband and father.
I love you! Happy Birthday!!

Better food question

Do you know a good website for healthy recipes? When I know what food is on sale I like food network, because I can type in ingredients and pull up recipes. It works great, but the recipes are not necessarily healthy. So, do you know a similar site that can do an ingredient search but focuses on healthier foods?

Monkeys don't talk

Today one of the kids came up to me and had a tennis shoe on one foot and a water shoe on the other. He said, "Look Mom, I have on two different shoes!" I said, "Oh, are you a crazy monkey?" To that he replied, "No Mom, I'm a boy not a monkey." Then he must have thought I needed more explanation and said, "Monkeys don't talk." ... I'm glad he cleared that up for me. :)

Just when we thought they were asleep...we find...

...more toilet paper helps. If you can't read kid it says, "Follow this line."

The start is here!

Do you need help finding the beginning of the toilet paper roll? Let us send our kids to your house and they can label the start for you!

Camera on the loose

I left the camera sitting around, and when I was browsing through my pictures I came across this one. When I inquired as to why this picture was on my camera, I found out the kids took the picture. They said, "the room was so clean!" So, because of their amazement, the clean room has now been documented.

Serious for a second

Why it's great to be a mother.... I feel like holding a new baby is like holding heaven in my arms. I find I have a difficult time putting my baby down. Instead, I find reasons to hold my baby all day long. The creation of new life is challenging to say the least. I, however, think the spirit of a newborn is like a tangible intangible. This is because the feeling when holding one is so intense, one can not help but feel their radiant goodness. Many times I wish the goodness I felt was tangible; I would bottle it. So, my sweet little one who fills the air with completing joy is one of many reasons it's great to be a mother.
