My children won't get dressed

1. The TED radio hour

Monday morning on my way to work I always listen to this radio show. It makes me happy and is the best programming on my way in during the week.  Sometimes I forget that it is on but usually it is a pretty good start to the work week.

2. Egg video

Amber got the boys (especially Cameron) hooked on "egg videos."  This is literally a YouTube video of people opening Easter eggs and seeing what the surprise is inside.  It is terrible.  Once I even heard Owen say, "She sounds nice."  Meaning that the voice narrating the video was probably a nice woman.    I know, very strange addiction -- don't get your kids started.

3. Ikea

This weekend we took a trip to Ikea to get furniture for the new room.  Who doesn't love Ikea?  AND this was the first time that I didn't have to lift anything or put anything together.  How can I not be grateful for that!!

4. Maternity Clothes

Last week Ashley gave me a huge bin of maternity clothes.  I quickly realized that I now have MORE maternity clothes than I do regular clothes.  I am super super grateful.  

** Last night I was the late nurse and all three boys were home alone.  They did face painting again and very excited about the whole thing. **

5. An old book

Yesterday I was cleaning off a bookshelf and found this book.  My sister gave this to me a LONG time ago…I am thinking that she was in high school and I was in middle school.  Regardless, seeing her handwriting and thinking about her craziness made me smile.  

Oh…and on one final note…I am on the verge of tears because my children will not listen to me and will not get dressed for bed.
