just a few things...

If I have to argue with Brady one more time about why he can't wear shorts when it's 30 something degrees, that boy is going to be wearing jeans until the end of the year! That's worse than taking away his xbox.

Last night I spilled chicken noodle soup in my nice new, clean refrigerator. We were running a little late for church already, and then I had to do a quick clean up which made us even later. But the worst thing is I still have to clean it today. Soup has a way of getting in every part of the fridge. I think I would rather clean the bathrooms.

I'm getting old, because each day I have to constantly remind myself what's going on that day, and where I need to be. I think I'm going to take a picture of my calendar and put on here. I'm no busier than any other parent of three kids (or any number of kids), but I since I'm already getting old, this might be the only way I'll remember it in twenty years. Or ten years. Or five. Whatever.

I've always loved winter and cold weather, but it's definitely time for warmer weather, because Avery has outgrown all but one pair of jeans. Apparently his jeans don't even last for a whole season anymore! That's crazy.

When the kids were little, I wasn't above bribing them to be good in certain situations (but not on a daily basis). Well, apparently things haven't changed much, because I've discovered how to get a kiss from Avery when I drop him off at school. I've tried many things, but threatening to sing to him(loudly, in a ridiculous voice) as he walks in finally did the trick! I got a quick kiss two days in a row! I should have tried this last year!! Now, I'm sure Avery knows that I would also be horrified, but I guess there's at least a little part of him that is worried that I might actually do it. Fun times!
