Sorry!

Wow! It's been a long time since I posted! Sorry about that!!

Things have been a little crazy around here between getting the basement finished, Christmas, Tad finding a job, and oh yeah 3 KIDS!! I barely have time to sit at a computer! I don't have any pictures to update (yes I'm bad I know- don't remind me), but have a couple of funnies.

1. "Can I have some cartoons please?" said Ella at dinner last week. The restaurant we were at had tv's in the booth, and Tad and I were watching KSU play MU. I said "No, we aren't watching cartoons, your dad and I are watching a game, and you aren't eating your dinner." She said, "No, some cartoons, the crunchy things I like to eat!" and pointed to Tad's salad. It dawned on me she meant croutons! Ha!

2. I think you had to be there for this one, but last week leaving church, Ella handed her papers to Tad. One was of Jesus that they colored. She was so excited, she told Tad "Look I even gave Jesus pink shoes!!" And they were definitely pink!

3. I guess we have to teach Emery what a 'wedgie' means. The other night we were eating dinner with Tad's sister, and Emery kept squirming and grabbing at her bottom. Tad asked her if she had to potty. She said very loudly, "No, my panties are stuck in my bottom!" We bust out laughing.

I'm sure I have more, I just don't have Tad or the kids awake to remind me. Mom might remember some recently too!

Other news- I fractured my left foot while working out! Who does that? I don't even remember doing anything specific besides 8 minutes of lunges and thinking my legs were going to fall off. It started to hurt that night and progressively got worse. Urgent care said it was sprained but when the pain didn't subside I saw an Ortho on Friday. He saw a fracture and said I also bruised the bone. Not exactly sure how you can bruise a bone, but whatever. Now I'm sporting a very attractive (and expensive)black boot around. It's fabulous trying to manuever the stairs in my house, let alone while holding a baby! Pray I don't drop her over the next 3 weeks while I'm in this contraption.

We also started Evie on rice cereal. She has decided to return to 'newborn' status and eat every 2 hours day and NIGHT!! UGH! She's beginning to like the cereal a bit, but it isn't helping her sleeping. I hope this phase ends soon- I need the rest!

Our basement is almost finished- YIPPEE!! We are beginning to pack up some things around the house in preparation to put it on the market. I've got to get a different one- with less stairs!! We are pushed to the limit with 3 kiddos and finding space. It's just not convienent with all the kids, and one who will be crawling soon. Hopefully we can sell it quickly!

Hope all is well with each and every one of you! I will get some pics taken soon, and post soon! Take care and have a great week!!
