Beware of my children.
They're part pirate
and sleep with their eyes open.

On Hold
This isn't the way anyone wants to spend their birthday.
So we've postponed Micah's 7th birthday until he is feeling better and can take part in the festivities. This really works out for the best because we were out of power yesterday morning, too, so we couldn't have made our usual funny face pancakes anyway. Not that I'm glad he was sick or that we spent the morning at the doctor's office...I'm just saying things wouldn't have been traditional anyway!
In other news from yesterday...
Will someone please explain to me how while the power was out and with only a flashlight to help her in the pitch black of her room, Emilia was able to find an earring that I have been looking for for MONTHS?? I just don't get it. I've spent HOURS looking for this thing...
As I've mentioned we didn't have power yesterday morning. It went out about 10 minutes after everyone got up. Audra asked what happened and someone must have told her that we lost power. She spent the next several minutes walking around the house saying, "Where is it? I can't find it. I don't see it. Where'd it go?" She looked under the couch, in the bathrooms, under the covers...but she never did find where that power was hiding. :)

And So It Begins
Josiah: Do you think I act like a kid my age?
Me: Yeah, I do, but maybe you should explain more what you mean by "acting your age."
Josiah: Well, I think I heard some of the older kids at school one time making fun of me because I call you "mommy" and not "mom." I heard them talking and they were just whispering and saying, "Did he just say "mommy"?? And Justin says mom so I was just wondering.
Me: You can call me mom.
Josiah: I think it sounds weird. "Mom." Just sounds weird. I like "mommy."
Me: If people saying stuff bothers you then you can call me "mom" around others and "mommy" here at home.
There was a little side conversation about some people always coming up with something to make fun of and then Josiah concluded the whole thing by saying:
Josiah: Well, I guess I do act my age, though. I mean, I was searching through the fridge for leftovers at lunch, so that's like kids my age.
And then he sauntered out of the kitchen.
I think my days of being called "mommy" are numbered. Once Josiah starts, the rest will follow.
And I think our food supply is in trouble.

Those Aren't Rainboots!
Sometimes life gets kinda crazy around here.
Sometimes things happen when life gets crazy.
Like possibly putting your two year old into the bath with suede boots still on her feet.
Sometimes I Need to be Reminded
It has been pointed out to me that I've haven't been posting enough.
It's a valid observation. I know there are some of you who check here regularly to see what we're up to and I haven't been keeping you up to date. And as much as this blog is here for me, it's here for you, too! So, while I will never be the kind to blog everyday, I will do my best to post more often. It will be good for all of us--I'll have more memories recorded for all time and you'll get to read about more of our shenanigans! :)
Might as well start catching you up now, right?
These are pictures from Easter. The boys look a bit older, like they might have a beard or something. But don't worry, you haven't missed out on THAT much--they just got sunburned while skiing and it gave them that bearded look for Easter. Lovely!
