Easily amused

Things that have made me happy today:

Edward Norton is going to play Bruce Banner/The Hulk.

Robert Downey Jr is going to play Tony Starks/Iron Man.

The little hand tool on Adobe Reader...I like how it grabs the page to drag it.

My lunch that I have yet to eat.

Thankful

So we are moved in, almost completely unpacked. We have only been here for 11 days, but it feels like it's been months. At the same time, we keep looking around and saying, "We live here?!"
We are very happy and comfortable. Everything feels right.

Even Fairies make mistakes

I've ALWAYS looked forward to pulling my kids teeth. No, I've never had an interest in dentistry....I'm just easily entertained? Max has NEVER wanted me to pull a tooth.
Max's 6th tooth came out last night. I guess being a 5 time veteran he realized that I might be able to handle the task as well as Daddy. I was a little nervous....mostly because he offered without me asking if I could help. It's hard to get a grip on those little things.....all spitty and bloody. After a couple of tries I finally got it. WOOHOO! My First Tooth. I was super excited! Way more so than Max! Another special thing about this tooth was that he didn't even know it was loose until yesterday when his friend told him that his mouth was bleeding. He was aware of a different tooth being loose but not that one.
Well tooth #6 is also the 3rd tooth that the Tooth Fairy almost forgot about. The first time it was a holiday, July 4th I think. I have heard that she takes the major holidays off. The 2nd tooth was somehow left on the floor with the money near by....maybe too much fairy dust before her shift? Now we are at forgotten tooth #3 and she left Max a note the next day with the delivery of the loot. I'm not sure if she came during the day or in the evening but Max found it after dinner this evening.

yippee skippee!

Some might not know yet...surprising I know. We are moving March 30th!
I so want to start tossing and packing. It's too early to really pack. The next 59 days will creep by I'm sure.
The landlord was kinda enough to measure rooms for me. So I've been playing with the arrange-a-room tool on BHG.com. Oh man. I could lose days playing with that thing!
My head is spinning! so many things to do...59 days. plenty of time, right?!

Here's to Strength and Patience.

A new year!

2006 was full of changes for us, all for the better. I'm really excited to find out what 2007 holds.

The first welcomed change of 2007 came on the 2nd when Lucas started pre-school.
These are pictures of them eating before school. Mike made them a special first day of school bowl of Cream of Wheat. (blagh....I passed on that meal)


I was having a real hard time getting him to sit still for the photos because he wanted to leave for school. The red thing he is holding is his lunch box.

Max, being the sweet big brother that he is, insisted on going with me to drop him off. He said that he was worried about Luc and thought he might be too young for preschool. (Max was almost 4 when he went). I explained to him that not all kids are ready for the change and if there weren't some 2yr olds that could handle it, then the program wouldn't be open to that age group. Most importantly I'd never put either of them in a situation that they weren't ready for. Once we got to the school Lucas ran inside and across the room, without putting his stuff down, found the nearest boy and said, "HI, I'M LUCAS AND THIS IS MY PRESCHOOL!" Even though I was confident that it wouldn't be a problem, I was prepared to stay and hang out for awhile to see if he would need help getting adjusted. It didn't seem to be an issue, so I left within 10 minutes of arriving. Once we were in the car Max seemed please and said that he knew Luc would be fine. Then I dropped Max at daycare and barely got a kiss from him, and he was off playing with his friends. I walked away feeling very thankful that my kids were so happy and independent. Sometimes it feels really great not to be needed.

I have already booked our hotel for our vacation in August! 5 nights at the Westin n San Diego. We are going to Sea World, the Zoo and Wild Animal Park. WOOHOO!!! Thanks again Stacey :)

A wise friend once told me how important it is to plan trips in advance with your family because it gives you something to look forward to during your daily grind. Wow was she right. I made the reservation a couple of days ago and I feel like August is around the corner!

There are plenty of great things ahead of us this year. I'll keep you all posted.
