Some Sunday Night Facts...

-I just spent more than an hour deleting emails...I had over 1500 in my inbox. Mostly they were facebook notifications, blog notifications, and annoying advertisements.

-AxMen was having some kind of marathon today, so Bryan distracted himself by watching nearly the entire season. Sure glad I'm not a logger!

-We put up the tramp yesterday, and the kids have spent the majority of their time out playing on it together. Yes, there has been fighting, but those blissful moments filled with giggles more than make up for it.

-Zerin, in between his incessant teasing, is just a gem. He seriously is the best big brother ever, and is so obedient most of the time.

-I learned that the reason my dog has a particularly annoying behavior, is because he has serious separation issues from when he was abandoned. So, now I can no longer get mad at him for peeing in my basement. Maybe I could hire a puppy shrink...hmmm....

-I made my girls matching Easter dresses which they wore today to church. I probably won't let them wear them again :) Yes, they are that bad.

-Liah helped me babysit our neighbor's baby girl tonight (her name is Leah too). I see her tenderheartedness shine through with her siblings, but it was so cute to watch her in more of a babysitter role. She has a very nurturing spirit, and a happy heart...she will make a wonderful mommy someday.

-I haven't gotten my hair cut (or colored) since last June...it's driving me batty!

-I replanted beets, planted carrots, lettuce and more spinach yesterday.

-Aeden, though always prefacing it with a "I eeeed to tell you something!" tried desperately hard to steer the hometeaching lesson in a different direction several times today. The kid gets an A for persistance. I just want to squish him...both in a good and bad way ;)

-I am in a MAJOR self-evaluation phase right now. I heard this talk a few days ago, and now I rereading it...wow. There is a quote that says, " “Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.

-My youngest brother is a fartknocker. I'm not looking forward to next March.

-Asher can now point out most of the letters! One day he just started pointing out letters and naming them. Today in church, he pointed to each letter on the hymnal and named it. At this rate, I won't be able to help him with his homework by 1st grade!

-Belen has the best disposition ever! She hasn't been feeling that great the past few days, but all that means is she just wants to be held. As long as I have her, she is still so smiley! I learn so much from these precious little ones.

-I told Bryan almost an hour ago I was coming right up...oops!

Aeden was at our house the other day and Liam offered him some smarties. He was so cute and said "Oooh!! I love snotties!!" I thought it was the cutest thing. He's such a good kid!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one with an out of control e-mail box. I have less than 1,000 so you beat me. :)

Wow, I haven't heard the term fartknocker for way too long. Thanks for the laugh!
