Things I learned this week

  • it IS possible to blow a fuse, a power bar, a treadmill engine and an electrical outlet all in 25 seconds
  • I am not an electrician.
  • it's also possible to wreck a sewing maching within the same hour
  • Nor am I a washing machine repair-person
  • blue playdough stains teeth blue
  • rice is very tricky to wash out of hair, highchairs, walls, dog fur/AKA never use the washroom at mealtime
  • if you burn your fingertips off, it could be adventagious in a bank robbery
  • silence does not equal naps - occasionally it means that your daughter is stripping naked, then trying to clean up her own dirty diaper
  • and the other one is dismantling the miniblinds
  • kids/Sammi can get out of tights, jogging pants, onesies, jeans, and a sweater in less than 7 minutes
  • things are always more fun when your sister does them too, so encourage her at all costs
  • Sammi can climb out of a pack'n play
  • date nights are always interrupted
  • doing summersaults off the couch are more fun off the low part (the high part doesn't end well)
  • the girls LOVE bible study fellowship, and did very well singing and cleaning up, and loved the leaders
  • I have healthy daughters who are learning how to climb and potty train and do a host of new things, and are crazy over each other. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Ahhhh..the joys of motherhood. And who says being at home can be boring???? I had to laugh at all of the things you've learned....I miss those girls! Give them a kiss from us.
