10 Things

(thanks for the idea Liz)

1. Halle asked me to "call the ear piercing doctor and see if she's ready for her." This girl kills me. 4 going on 14!



2. Last week after one of my babysitting girls finished eating her whole corn dog she said, "Miss Amy, I found a stick in my hot dog!" she was as serious as could be. It made me laugh and we are still laughing about it.



3. I bugs me when my kids get birthday invitations from kids they don't know or hardly know. I understand kids from Church who's parents make them be kind and invite the whole class, but really we aren't offended if we don't know you very well. An invite came for Isaac in the mail today and he said, "Mom, whose this?"



4. My days are busy with daycare kids now. Mondays, I only have 2 extra kids. Tues 5 extra. Wed 4 extra. Thurs 4 extra. And Fri. 3 extra. I start with a newborn in 2 weeks and then things will really be crazy! Yes, I'm out of my right mind...or will be in about a month, but it helps pay the bills right now. The nice part is that the kids play really well together.



5. Kind of stinks that my husband is a doctor, works over 100 hours a week, and gets paid about the same as a MacDonald's employee (okay maybe a little more, but not much). We keep saying...it will be worth it in the end. and the end is coming quickly!



6. Hayden is missing his 2 front teeth and now another front tooth is loose. He will have 3 missing teeth all in a row. Funny looking kid. That cute little smile is still as contagious as ever.



7. Caite has been taking piano lessons for a month now. She loves it! I'm surprised at how quickly she is picking it up. Not something I passed on to her, must be from her Nana. I took lessons for several years as a kid, hated every minute of it. When I was in high school I wanted to give it another whirl, took for a year and still couldn't do it. Tried again in college, took a semester class, passed but only because the teacher saw that I was really trying, not because I could actually do it right. I have a major handicap!



8. Aaron's parents (aka Nana and Papa) are coming in April! Wahoo! we love visitors. Time to start planning fun outings.



9. I have said it a bunch, but as I look out the window and see my kids playing with all the neighbor kids, it makes me happy to know they are happy. what a great feeling!



10. It's Feb. 7 and we have only had one week of cold weather where the kids didn't want to play outside. What happened to winter? maybe I shouldn't ask, I'm happy the way it is.
