Miscellaneous News and Stuff

This afternoon I dropped Hannah off at Dad's work. She is spending the week and weekend by herself with Dad and Joan. I told her she's going to come back spoiled rotten. Joan is excited to have a "girl's weekend" with Hannah. They are going to go swimming, shopping, spending time with my niece Jessie and her son Riley, and whatever else they want to do. I'm jealous. I want to be there, too. Joan said she wants Hannah until Monday or Tuesday. That means a WHOLE WEEK without her. I don't know what we are going to do without her.

It's time to post about another blond moment I had today. For Valentine's Day, Mike bought me a beautiful watch which has been a little big, but not too bad. Today, I was putting it on when I noticed something for the first time. I knew it had what looked like an extra link to be removed by a jeweler. What I didn't know was that it had a hinge on it that could be opened and the piece taken off. So, instead of taking it to a jeweler, I could remove it myself. The funny thing is I've been wearing the watch for five months now and have just noticed this hinge. I removed the link and now it fits perfectly!!! As Will would say, "SILLY MOMMY!!!"

Oh, here is a follow up on a previous post. The other night I mentioned that the boys wanted to sleep together in Will's bed. Well, I am happy to say that they went right to sleep and didn't wake up until about 8 the next morning!! They did great!! Mike and I are talking about getting Andrew a toddler bed sometime soon. When he is a little older (and I can handle it a little better), Mike wants to get the boys bunk beds. Their room is crowded now with Will's twin bed and Andrew's crib, and another twin bed would make it even more so. I don't want the bunk beds now because I know my boys. Andrew and Will would climb to the top and jump off. I think I can handle broken arms and legs but not broken necks.

Pictures and Dumb Blond Moment

Hannah's uniform shirt (the rest of her uniform hasn't come in yet). It was cool during her first game so the team wore long sleeve t-shirts under their shirts.

Will, Andrew and Hannah eating hot dogs for breakfast. The table they are sitting at was mine and my sister's while we were growing up.

Mike and I had such a good laugh over this we just had to share it. As most of you know (if you've known me for a while), I have quite a few dumb blond moments. My family often checks the roots of my hair to see if my blond roots are showing. Well, I had another moment last night and have to tell on myself. After the kids went to bed, I was unloading the swim bags. As I was hanging the suits and towels up, I noticed one suit was missing. I asked Mike where Andrew's swimsuit was. He gave me the strangest look and busted out laughing. Not understanding, I asked him again. He laughed even harder. Now I am getting really confused as to why he is in hysterics over a missing swimsuit. He reminded me that Andrew didn't swim because he was asleep in the van WITH ME!!! We both laughed hard. Pure genius must be the reason I have these. At least, it is the only explanation I am going to accept.
