So, this is my first time ever trying a blog. I intend to use this primarily as an online place to journal the funny and crazy things my children say and do each day, which, frankly, are numerous, and I sooo want to be able to recount them as the kids move through the various stages of childhood. I have this fear of forgetting all the wonderful, wacky things that go on routinely at our house, and want to make use of this space to keep a little family history. As of today, Caelin is 9 1/2, Levi is 5 1/2, Tirzah is 3, and Aila is 9 months.
Today was Saturday. Scott was off work, so we had a nice breakfast and talked a while about home improvement projects. Scott was a little distracted, having to preach tomorrow. We decided to go into Potsdam to Northern Music, Wear on Earth, and then the kiddos and I walked to the Co-op. I am gathering ingredients to try some Indian recipes in the cookbook I got for Christmas. Then it was a late lunch at Pizza Hut and the usual junk at Walmart. Poor Aila is teething and not enjoying it, Tirzah has had a fever since Thursday. I have been trying to get a bunch of scrapbooking done before we go to Ohio, but have managed to only do a few pages.
Tonight, as I tucked Tirzah into bed, she asked, "Did Levi have a food sleeper like me when he was a girl?"
Last night, Scott stayed at work late, trying to complete his sermon, so the kids and I had dinner alone, then (as Mrs. Thompson, my alter-ego) was invited to a tea party in the boys room. I brought the tea and cookies and treats. Tirzah had her tea pot and said she was pouring me some garlic tea. I said, "Yuck!" Levi exclaimed, "Terriblous gross!" My invitation to the event came via the "mail system" operated through the boys floor register. They lower a small gift bag on a piece of yarn, and yell "Jingle Bells!" when I have a delivery. When I put something in, I pull on the string 3 times to signify they should hoist it up. I also had a delivery of Mr. Chips, the battery-operated chipmunk, amongst other things.
