I like blogging

Yesterday was a great day of "joy in your trials". I have to say trials really lightly, but in trying to figure out a way to get around it, everything just fell into place. The trial is still somewhat there, but it's almost been fun. Weird, I know. My point here is that I'm grateful for the way things work out and the insight you can gain when they don't work out perfectly. I am blessed.

Last night we went to dinner and to see Julie and Julia. Yes, we drug our husbands ...but in the end, it wasn't so bad for them. It was very refreshing. I can't say I thought it was the funniest movie ever like some had stated, but it was very entertaining. I think the best part was that there was no third party evil person. No one to ruin the fun. I like that. But watching the movie made me remember how fun it can be to blog. I'm sad to say that most of my friends have let it go by the wayside, but I have decided to renew my efforts and be more diligent about it. There are so many things I have thought to blog about and when I actually sit down to do it, I can't remember it. This is, after all, my journal. So here's to blogging! I wish I could say I also came home with a desire to cook, but....I didn't.

In the spirit of writing things that I wanted to remember, here are a few kid funnies.

Bo and I were laying down for our naps, he sleeps in my bed with me, and I was trying to get him to lay still. Finally he was motionless for a short time. Ahhhh, then he stands up on the bed and I ask rather impatiently "what are you doing?". He says, much to my delight, " I don't want to sleep in my pants. I'm taking them off." Chip off the ol' block. True bonding moment.

Sunday I was getting Katy ready for church. which is always a chore, and I had to wrestle her to get her dress on her. She loves church, just not the wearing clothes part. I got the dress on and was buttoning up the back when she started to try to get away from me. I told her to hang on I needed to button it. She quite excitedly told me "I need to spin!" Another bonding moment. A dress isn't a dress unless it can spin.

Bo and I were watching some videos on YouTube that were religious songs put with video. He just sat quietly on my lap and watched. Then he says "I would like it if you could please make that full screen." Alrighty then.

Lastly, while going through Costco, I noticed Katy's nose was quite, uh....full. I made a face and said ewww. Bo looked at her and loudly says "Oh crap! that's disgusting!". I hate when my kids talk like me, but this time it was a litte amusing. He used all the right reflections in his voice to make it funny.
