Confessions Cont.

I screen my telephone calls. I love caller ID.

However, most of the time I screen them because I am trying to do you a favor. No conversation is ever pleasant when a child is screaming in the background or the person is too busy multi tasking to concentrate on the conversation.

Plus...I am not really a "phone" person. I'd rather our conversations be interrupted IRL (in real life).

Side note. Just because the phone rings and rings and rings in my house doesn't mean I am on the other line. It usually means that my beloved two year old has pushed the orange button to turn off the answering machine. It's her fault, not my dislike of your phone messaging skills!

Confessions of a Closet Eater Organizer

I am eating Coldstone cake and watching The Biggest Loser...in my bed.

How do you like them apples chocolate covered oreos!

Not really even sure

where to begin. Because I live and die by lists, maybe I will just do this in list form-maybe. If I so choose not to at any point-well...I can because it's my blog and well....if I only want to blog once every two months-that's ok too. But I am really sorry for those of you who are my faithful blog readers-all two of you-Abby and Charlie.

Since my last post...in no specific order

Kate has started talking-mostly in sentences, usually yelling or bossing someone around.

Picked pumpkins at a local farm.

Charlie and I snuck away for four whole days, boarded a plane, drove through mountains, golfed in snow, slept in, had complete conversations without interruption, called home five times a day, worried unnecessarily, ate breakfast in bed, attended a beautiful wedding, met some fun new friends, and got away...really for the first time since having kids.

-note to self-bring the camera next time-
We returned home to find three children extremely well cared for who didn't miss us an ounce and two very tired Grandmas. Our amazing mom's carried off no small task in caring for our very busy ladies!

Celebrated a certain Daddy Man's 32nd birthday.

Camped with some friends (8 Adults+12 children under 8=a time we'll never forget). Our first real time camping in our new camper, thankfully we had very experienced campers with us who could show us how to turn everything on in our camper. It was a good thing too because we needed the heater every night. Thanks Mike!

Started our first year of preschool (just one morning a week is enough for this mom).

Had countless picnics down at the waterfront (I love my life and where we live).

Hannah and Megan started a real Ballet and Gymnastics class-they love!

-pics to follow.

Went apple picking with Uncle Wes and Ms. Meggie.

Visited the library countless times, walked downtown to visit daddy at the office, started riding bikes with training wheels, flown kites, made smores, gone fishing in grandma's lake, played in the warm sand at the beach.
