{life is about to change}

in just a couple of hours i will have seven little guys here for noah's first big sleepover. he is thrilled! but, truly, i may be a tad more excited than he, no joke!

as i reported to a couple of the moms over the past few phone calls/texts - i just got back from the edge of the woods after burying dinosaur fossils. they look so real that i did tell scott that if something happened to me before picking up these boys, to please go retrieve the fossils. truly, if they are happened upon twenty years from now - our farm will be the buzz on CNN due to the dinosaur fossils. well, maybe for about five minutes before the analysis determines they came from toy's r us 2009 not a billion years ago. a small window of fame, perhaps. but, the way i had them wrapped as i carefully carried them into the EDGE (I did not venture INTO the woods. i read twilight last weekend while i snuggled my sick child) buried them near a log, under leaves, dirt and branches. if someone by chance saw me, there is no telling what they thought I was dragging to those woods! and, of course, they are planted in the midst of cow, oh sorry....dinosaur bones. i think there may be a dinosaur egg out there too. maybe. we've got our canteens, flashlights (that is for the "effect" we are going in broad daylight), our "rations" aka snacks of their choice, binoculars, a compass just in case we get lost at the EDGE of the woods.

fun!!!! i so love being a mom. and, to boys at that!!!!!

Awesome time! God knows what he's doing when assigning boys/girls, for sure! What a fun "boys' mom!" Have a great time! I'll hope you get some sleep tonight!

What a wonderful idea! I just read the post to Russ and we both agree, we can't wait until our boys are old enough for us to do a dinosaur dig!!!

Sounds like fun...maybe next year you can build a cave and give them a touch of "Indiana Jones."
