I'll get caught up eventually

I need to catch up on our family Christmas and trip to Utah but Lizzy is being tricky and I can't get anything done so I typed this up really quick instead.


Top Ten Highlights from the Week (In Random Order)


1.Hearing Lizzy say enthusiastically “good job mom!” every time I go potty.

2.New church time! Yea, it’s no longer 2:30-5:30!

3.Telling Lizzy not to lie on top of baby Zach for the thousandth time.

4.Tyler’s account of what he learned at school about basic human needs (food, clothes, air, water and shelter): “Like if you see someone sleeping at 6 flags, they probably don’t have a home.” I wonder if his teacher actually taught that, or if it just came up from another kid’s comment. It caught me so off guard that I just started laughing, then Tyler defensively started saying “it’s not funny!”

5.Re-reading twilight (I know I’m such a pathetic nerd- I’ll read a classic novel next so my brain doesn’t wither away completely).

6.Watching Tyler play bike racing on Nintendo Wii Sports Resort. You have to move the wii remotes in a circular motion like bike petals while steering (Ty get’s really into it). Can you picture it? It’s pretty hilarious to watch but you can’t laugh at him or you’re in big trouble.

7.Pulling out the next size up of baby clothes for Zach. He looks so cute in his new (new to him) outfits.

8.Family celebrations for Lizzy when she goes “poopy in the toilet” followed by a “poopy prize”.

9.Giving Lizzy way to many gummy bears just to hear her say “Can I more gum gum bears?” (It sounds much cuter in person).

10.Looking forward to date night swap with our friends this weekend. Andy and I get to go out on Saturday, what should we do?

Okay top eleven because I thought of one more

11. The sheer satisfaction of wathching Tyler and Lizzy drink a days worth of fruit/veggie servings in one smoothie! This week we started having a daily "green smothie" (I am copying my sister Becc). Everyone likes them, even Andy. I had to bribe Tyler a little (he gets ten cents if he drinks the whole thing).
