It's amazing what the weather has the power to do to a family. When it's sunny you can play outside, feel refreshed, exert lots of energy without even thinking. When it's cold, it just plain sucks! Finding inside entertainment is often a challenge, seeing the outside but knowing you will freeze your butt off is depressing, and smelling the lovely smells of a small house with six people, one in diapers and children who love bodily functions is the worst.
The past two days have been relatively uneventful. Eve, Providence and I spent some time at the coffee shop and got more rocks. They now want a "see-through jar" to collect them in, oh and can they give the rocks a bath? It's pretty funny that something as simple a pretty rocks make them happy and encourage them to think of other things to do with rocks.
Eve and I spent the morning with our friends yesterday making cookies, playing with other peoples toys, which is always better than their own, and singing silly songs like the hokey-pokey and the wheels on the bus. It was really fun.
The afternoon was spent napping for the girls and I was doing my daily laundry and "work" on the computer. A cool thing we found out is that we may be buying the house across the street from us because it has more room and we have some cool people interested in renting ours. God will have to do some major moving for it to all work out financially and time wise for us, but if it does it would be great.
The boys have been doing really great in school. It is pretty fun to hear stories about school and how they describe things that I am sure would be described very differently by the teachers. Both boys seemed to be gifted with the gift of gab, other kids, "just won't stop talking to me, and I can't ignore them." Josiah was caught with about 4 love letters in his bag from this little girl in his class. He was really embarrassed, but not enough to throw them away, no way, he wants to keep them in his bag for safe keeping. He follows in his fathers footsteps on being a ladies man....
Thankfully, Noah is far more interested in Pokemon cards than girls. The most he will comment about girls is if they are really good at kickball or something like that.
Today we went to lunch with my dad and Linda, it was fun. We ate at skyline. The girls insisted on wearing their "wedding" shoes. Providence's are these hideous white patton leather shoes that make lots of noise and match nothing right now, but she loves them. Luckily Eve's wedding shoes are cute, but gold, so they don't usually match much either. They don't care though, wedding shoes are special. We showed grandpa and grandma the coffee shop. Providence showed them the fish tank that is in an old TV. She then proceeded to give the fish a strobe light show by flicking their lights on and off over and over again. I am sure if they could have they would have puked.
Now we are all home and grandma and grandpa are going to get the boys from school. Josiah gets to go birthday shopping with them. He is going to be so excited. Providence fell asleep while in time out and I finally get a moment of peace because Josh and Eve are sleeping.
I am going to enjoy it while I can.
