Discoveries

Well, I'm finally posting again. It seemed like a busy week but I didn't really do much of anything. For the weekend we just hung around here and did yard work on Saturday. Sunday we went to church and came home home to feed and nap the boys. Then we went to the park where my brother and his girlfriend met us and followed us back to our place for elk burgers and a movie. Monday, I got to stay home with the boys while Daddy went snowmobiling. I don't think he had any more fun than us though.

Anyway, during my week of boring-ness I discovered quite a few things about myself. Nothing earth-shaking or anything, just a few little things that I didn't realize about ME.

1. I hate, yep HATE dandelions.

These little buggars are everywhere. They are in my yard, in my driveway, and in my flower patch. And they don't come up either. You can pull and pull and they always break off, leaving the root in the ground so it can pop up again. It's so annoying! That would definately be the first thing I learned. I never knew I hated them so much until this week.

2. I'm beginning to love the outdoors again.

All my years growing up I loved being outside and somewhere between oh, 12 & 15, I lost ALL passion for it. Now I am discovering that I want to be out more and more. I only wish I had more to do out there with the kids. I mean, I can only chase them and play trucks in the dirt for so long.

3. I'm really, really, really smart.

I honestly believed I could take the boys outside without needing to give them a bath when we came back in.














Can you see the intelliegence seeping out my pores?

4. I learned that my kids cannot play outside without needing a bath!
