I love facebook. I strongly dislike facebook. I'll keep my reasons to myself. I often think of posting something, but then I figure it would only be interesting to my mom and 3 friends so I decide not to bother the rest of my "friends" with it. However, this is my blog and I can do what I want. So, here is a running list of things I could post on facebook, but decided not to.
-Should children be allowed to say hate? Or should they say "strongly dislike"?
-Isaiah and Nate started swimming lessons yesterday. Isaiah had a hard time yesterday, but today was much better. God's does answer prayers!
-Me: "Callie, where did you learn that?" C: From my friend online. Isaiah: Probably on pinterest. Me: dumbfounded
-Callie loves watching "baking movies" (full episodes of cooking shows) on foodnetwork.com Proof that she probably watches to many: While eating a lollipop, "This lollipop gives me texture in my mouth", while choosing which show to watch, "Not the man man one" I finally figured out that she meant not GUY Fieri. Guy, man, get it? The Pioneer Woman is one of her favorites. Callie calls her "The Pineapple Woman".
-Zachary had his 4 month check up on Friday. He weighs 17.6 lbs. We call him chubs. :)
-Why do kids decide they want to learn AFTER school is finished for the year?
-We are finished with school for the year! We were a few days short of the 180 we'll have to have when we start recording days, but we finished the goals I had so I am pleased. We did a lot of reading. I figured we read somewhere over 2800 pages and that didn't include any extra books we read that were not related to school.
-My house needs cleaned. I might go on strike until summer is over.
-I found $20 in a pair of pants that I hadn't worn for awhile. I of course was very delighted. Jeremy just shook his head. I figure we're up $20. He doesn't understand how I didn't realize we were down $20. Now to decide if it was grocery money or "my" piano money.
-Quote from somewhere "Organized people are too lazy to look for things"
-Jeremy does not have a lazy wife. See previous post.
-Is it possible to organize and back up digital pictures and still have a sound mind?
-twentytwowords.com is a very interesting web site. They have all kinds of useless information that I find very interesting. I'm not sure what that says about me.
-I'm very sad to not have a bigger garden this year. A walnut tree on our neighbors property (bad for tomatoes I'm told) and ground hogs are the reason.
-We just found out that one of our neighbors is FEEDING the groundhogs. :(
-Isaiah is missing his two front teeth. Someone mentioned that he looks older. I think he looks younger and I secretly love it. Sometimes he is way too serious for a 7 year old. Seeing him with no front teeth helps me to remember that he is just a kid.
-Zachary is one of the most kissed on and loved babies in the world I'm sure. He brings us so much joy. He "talks" so much.
I love using " "'s
-Nathan: "Being a lifeguard would be boring. Not many people drown. It would be really sweaty". ?
-And since this is facebook style blogging I end with "What a day! I'm off to bed".
-Here is a great recipe for bran muffins. (because no one should ever go to bed without first checking pinterest)

Catching Up
I'm feeling the need to blog, but feeling so far behind on blogging that I don't want to blog because I don't have time to upload pictures. So instead of lovely pictures I shall just see what comes out.
-Snow: we finally got some snow yesterday. The first since Oct. 31. We were all out in it for awhile, but it was not good packing snow so nothing was made.
-School: Isaiah is enjoying school. The largest problem right now seems to be keeping him challenged. It's so much fun to see him actually reading. He does not enjoy the writing part. Any suggestions? Jeremy tells me he hated writing also.
-Callie: she's into everything. She's ruined one of her dresses and one of my sweatshirts with my lipstick. That stuff doesn't come out! On Friday night we had some friends here and I thought Callie was watching a movie. When I finally checked in I found her with a tub of chapstick. However it was just the tub, the chapstick was gone. It was all over her face and hands. Hopefully not inside her, but I guess we'll never know.
-Piano Lessons: I am enjoying teaching piano lessons again this year. I only have four students, but with the rst of life going on, I don't think I could handle much more. I love seeing them "get it" and watching them learn to enjoy playing. Now if I could just find time to teach my own kids!
-January has not been too busy. It's been nice. I've tackled a few areas in the house that needed some attention. One section of counter in the kitchen had become a good place to pile things that didn't have a home. I was so sick of it. I was almost scared to clean it off fearing that stuff would pile up again. So far it's still clean and it feels good.
-February looks busy, but good. Hopefully the business will bring on the spring quickly!
-This has go to be one of the most boring posts ever.

Tidbits
Tidbit: A choice morsel (according to Webster)
We just had cinnamon rolls and orange Julius's for supper. I made everyone eat cucumbers too so I wouldn't feel so guilty.
I had a yard sale this week with my grandma. I made about $70. I figure that works out to about $.13 per hour that I put into it, but getting junk out of the house was well worth it.
I was without a kitchen faucet for exactly 8 days last week. I ran out of patience for it after 2 days. The part finally came yesterday. I have never been so happy to see running water. It just seems impossible to really get anything clean without hot running water. I do have a dishwasher that got used ALOT. I guess I'm spoiled.
Callie had her 9 month check up this week. She weighs 17lb something. She's now in the 26th percentile for her weight and the 89th for her height. She is crawling everywhere and pulls herself up on things. She's starting to crawl faster when I go after her and tonight she almost laughed. :( She reminds us a lot of Isaiah at this age. She does a lot of talking that sounds like singing. This is new for us. I guess it's a girl thing. As I type she's headed for the steps for the 157th time tonight.
Isaiah told Jeremy tonight that it would be ok if Jeremy said he liked Callie more than him. While he was saying it he was almost crying. Where did that come from?? Nearly broke my heart. It was a good time to reaffirm our love for all three children.
I was looking at old pictures the other night. My heart hurt.
I am reading a book I stole from my grandma how was trying to sell it at our yard sale. It was published in 1944. It's called "Listen, Bells Ring". The word "gay" meant something different back then.

Love It
Yesterday I ordered about $60 worth of product from Amazon and only paid $7.98 out of pocket. Makes me smile! The two products I ordered were on sale totally $27.98. I applied the $20 in Amazon gift cards I've earned from swagbucks leaving just $7.98 to actually pay.
What did I buy? That's the exciting part. It's something that I've thought would be nice to have for a long time, but since I only use them 2 (soon to be 3) times a year did not feel it was worth spending much money on. The hobby is something I enjoy doing, but always get rather frustrated when I do it. Any guesses? I'll post some pictures when I get the "stuff".

Saturday morning pancakes
Editor's note: Jeremy just read this and corrected my wrong use of several words. :( For the record I wrote this on very little sleep! Forgive me. :)
Oh the joy and relief that floods my soul this morning. I thought I alone was struggling in the hunt for the perfect pancake. But no, you all have issues too! You struggle and create perfect flops in your kitchen's too! Whatever would I do without you all! Robyn, I think you're on to something with the electric griddle. A wise woman (my mom) has been telling me this for some time. By the way, I do not like to use the word griddle. I always fear it will come out electric girdle. May not be a bad invention.
I took this picture from our appartment. Jeremy is walking to class on a very cold morning!

For your information:
girdle
–noun
1.
a lightweight undergarment, worn esp. by women, often partly or entirely of elastic or boned, for supporting and giving a slimmer appearance to the abdomen, hips, and buttocks. Works even better when used with electricity.

Here are a few pictures that I also posted on facebook. I thought I'd post them here too since some of you of the wiser kind have not yet joined facebook. I will say that I am not addicted to facebook. I still like to blog. I like words. I want to know what you think, want to read your heart and your cookbook. I want to see pictures of you and your kin without having to look up an album. Facebook feels rather lazy to me. I must say though that I've been blown away facebook's ability to connect people.
Happy Saturday!

Monday Morning
I thought I'd post about what I am doing right now. I'm drinking coffee and reading blogs. It's 8:21 on Monday morning and I'm drinking coffee and reading blogs.
My kids are eating Alphabits. No good mother would feed her kids Alphabits for breakfast on a Monday morning. I'm trying not to think about the 12 (groan) grams for sugar per serving. Why do I even buy this junk? Because it was cheap. And because the boys are happy and quiet and I'm drinking coffee and reading blogs.
My mom was hear last week and it was a great week. I'll post some pictures of that later. But for now I'm drinking coffee and reading blogs.
We are have guests for supper and I have a huge pile of laundry to tackle and a house that needs at least a surface clean, but I'm drinking coffee and reading blogs.
Well, I'm leaving to make my to do list for today. My coffee is cold and I think I'm caught up on the the interesting blogs.

We're Back
I've tried twice to post pictures from our trip, but for some reason it's not working. So, I am posting simply to say that I will be back soon with more details. We had a great trip, but now we're back to normal (?) life. We have VBS every night this week at our church. It's making us very busy, but it is going well. More later.
