{snippets of our day}

*i'm still stuck on yesterday. it was almost perfect. just a great, fun, relaxed day.... (those seem to be way too few and far between). but, after my post, the day continued with snuggles, movies and very little work. not that i didn't have a ton to do......but, i chose not to. good decision. precious moments with my boys!
*in that same yesterday afternoon, i took the time to view a new (maybe??) tv show. i will occasionally watch television, but not very often. all i can say is WOW!! if i got anything from it - it was all of the things i do not want to be as a mother, friend or just with my life in general. and, it was a reality show. my eyes were bugged out of my head probably 99.9% of the time. so very sad. and, that's everyday life for the women of the show. i'll take dirty floors, filled-up sinks, hair that is waaaayyyyyyyy past a needed trim, the need to actually balance a check-book because it does have its limits, kids that i parent instead of becoming BFF - over the glitz and glamour i saw in that 30 minute episode. wow.
*a great day at church (we missed you, daddy - hope you feel better very soon!!)
*family dinner around the table with lots of conversation. isn't it amazing what a simple meal can do?? however, i did purchase the roasted chicken, mashed pototoes and salad. but, i did switch them over to "real dishes" prior to eating. :) it just feels better.
*listening to both boys sing THE B-I-B-L-E as i type this. evan must have had that in his SS class today because he has been steadily singing it since loading up for the trip back home. :) love that.
*summer cookies the boys just ate at the bar. i have alot of colorful sprinkles to clean up. :)
*my first conversation with noah about evolution. he laughed and laughed and truly thought i was joking that someone could possibly think it makes any sense at all that we evolved from apes. the big bang, just as nutty. he thinks it is truly the funniest thing he has ever heard. and, i shot it to him straight with all of their "scientific reasoning." he continued to laugh. the human body alone and it's unbelievable design is enough evidence for him. we had to get daddy up to convince him i was not playing a horrible joke on him.
*the initial stages of the yard work that will likely be ongoing......all........summer........long.
*the boys watching "old-fashioned cartoons" as noah says. and, they ARE his favorite, hands-down. boomerang anyone? scott had it added for summer break. this is one of the few times they've got to watch it as we have been on the go! or busy, busy outside.....
*taking time today to breathe and get geared up for a crazy week ahead....2 md appts, a quick out of town afternoon trip (we're having our pictures taken:), a week of baseball camp, only two nights of baseball (woo-hoo!!).....

tonight: sno-cones after a session.
