quick takes



hello!
it's quick takes again.

1.  as i am typing this, bo christian is drinking a glass of milk
and eating chocolate covered pretzels.


he's never liked milk before, so this is a first.
with chocolate and milk this early on a friday, i can tell it is going to be a great weekend!

2.  bauer came home from school one day this week wearing these:


yes, he sounds that good on his trumpet.
and no, he didn't want his picture taken.

3.  i have green weeds in my yard that i am thrilled to see.
i know it is a promise from God that it will get warm again.
how i wish that warm would hurry!
there is no picture for this.
no way i'm going out in 30' weather to take a picture of a weed!

4.  my hardest laugh this week:
when i saw uncle si's new dog for the first time.
if you don't watch duck dynasty, i just don't know what to say...

5.  i always wondered how much food we would eat as our boys got older.
they are 12, 11 ,9, 8 and 1 year old.
for breakfast we eat about:

5 lbs of oats a month

eggs - i offer eggs every morning.
i can't even keep track of how many we eat.
if i am scrambling them, 11 eggs.
at the minimum i am frying 4 eggs every morning.
husband buys them from a guy at the station.
he usually brings home 8 dozen at a time.  he probably does that every other week.

pancakes - i make 3 batches at a time.

6.  husband has been gone again.
he says this was the last time he's taking a 2 week far away class.
i do not believe him.  he is like a 'take-a-class addict'.
he is coming home tonight.  that will most definitely be the best part of my day.
the worst part of my day will be when i get into bed, and he puts his cold feet on me.
but, it will totally be worth it!

7.  it really is going to be a good weekend.
i am getting my hair trimmed.  is it really a trim if i only go every 3 months?
anyways, i'll get my hair washed,
the tension in my shoulders is going to leave my body,
and i am going to eat a meal with out touching the baby.

hope your weekend is as great as mine is going to be!

"i am going to eat a meal with out touching the baby." Yes. Not to be taken for granted.
