5 on Friday

-
1. Today marks 33 years of marriage for this couple. I'm pretty sure they weren't wearing these outfits to celebrate today. They are complete opposites and they're currently stuck in a hut together in South Sudan. Only Jesus.  
2. Tomorrow is this chick's 5? birthday. If we were hanging out we'd probably go shopping and spend our husband's money and then stuff our faces with tasty treats. RAIN CHECK, please! 

This picture was supposed to be our "Let's look emotionally drained since we just drove from Philly" but someone couldn't help but to crack a smile. The nerve.

3. Tonight Kent grilled chicken for my post-surgery dinner care package, bathed Little Punky Brewster AND did the dishes before heading out to his 8PM-1AM youth event. And for that, I stand and publicly salute him. 

4. Sunday is Grandparent's Day so a Happy Grandparent's Day to Pops and.... (insert a Grandma name for my Mom. We're still working on it)...! Although we miss you a lot and the one thing I wanted was for my child(ren!) to grow up semi-near their grandparents, you did save me $2.99 on a Grandparent's Day Card since you can't receive mail. Thanks. The glass is half full today.

5. Our church is starting a Wednesday night program this week. I signed up to help with the Children's Ministry, but at the rate I'm going, I'm going to have to prop my eyelids up with toothpicks just to stay awake. I can imagine another worker sneaking into youth group and whispering to Kent, "Sooo your wife is like, asleep... in a beanbag chair upstairs."

    Do you still own the Ski Advance shirt?
    You can buy cheaper cards at the Dollar Store. FYI for when you CAN send your parents a card.

3 Reasons

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
