Love

- Love that Jared couldn't get enough books read to him tonight.  After he was done with me he headed to Jakie. 

- Love that Jakie is such a sweet big brother...most of the time :)


- Love that Michael didn't get an attitude when he asked me if he could "stay the night at a friends house" and my response was, "Uh, no.  Don't even bother me with such non-sense on a weekday."  My guess?  He didn't really want to spend the night at all. 
 
- Love that I spent the day with my Sister today and we had an unplanned lunch with Mom. 
 

- Love that there's always guarenteed laughing-till-you-cry when Sister and I get together.

- Love that we're going to have a house full of teenage boys on Sunday night.  I'll host those crazy all-nighters any day over worrying all night about what's really going on when Michael goes out.

- Love that Jason took Monday off to be home with us.  He loves us :)

ten on tuesday.

1.  I've forgotten about 983,343,483 things.  Not kidding.  It's BAD.  Some things, not so important.  Other things, very important.  And the good ol' doc is estimating at least six more weeks of this.  Not good.  I may forget who my husband is by that point.  Lucky him ;)

2.  I looked at my blog and was shocked to see the last thing I blogged about was something about last year!  Shame on me.  But, I've been tired. Very tired.  Blogging hasn't even been on my list or entered my mind. 

3.  We found out Michael made the Varsity baseball team.  Yay!  So proud of him.  Not so proud of his occasional attitude.  Teenagers are tough.  Some days I feel like I'm going to explode with frustration.  Other days I can't imagine life without him here with us. 

4.  Jacob is all about gloves right now.  At first it was because they kept his hands warm.  Then, he discovered they kept his hands from getting raw while playing handball.  That makes him happy.

5.  I just realized it's been so long since I've blogged that I didn't mention Jakie lost another tooth!  I love it.  He doesn't.  He thinks he's funny looking :)

6.  Jared has a new response every. single. time. he gets in trouble:

"I shorry Mommy/Daddy.  It was a akth-ident.  I din mean ah do dat.  I shorry bout dat." 

Bottom lip stuck out, chin quivering and all.  Every time.  How can you get upset at that?!  That boy has us wrapped around his chubby little finger :)

7.  I'm totally lagging on my "365" (a picture every. single. day. in 2011.) I {think} I'm good on the picture taking part but not so good with the printing and journaling part.  This is year two for me.  I did it in 2009. 
Didn't quite make the "every single day" part though.  So cool to look back at that album and see all of the little details throughout the year and the random everyday stuff.  LOVE it.

8.  Jared is all about taking pictures right now.  Pictures of me.  Pictures of his brother.  Pictures of the floor.  Pictures of the kitchen cabinets.  He's not picky.  The plus side, everyone loves a blurry picture of themselves, right?

9.  Jakie and I made his Valentine's Day goodies for his class.  So cute :)  And, we had a fantastic Valentine's weekend. 

10.  Found out today Jason has another three-day trip to go on next week.  I can hang with those.  It's the two-weekers that are killer.  Not a fan of those ones :)
