Sometimes my brain takes me strange places. Like tonight it's someone's basement-orange and brown carpet, a dart board on the wall, a strange musty smell and lots of boxes. I don't know why, and that's all I have to say about that.


An update of things lately: I've gotten super political. It seems to coincide with when I get hormonal. Sometimes I hate it, sometimes I think I'm informing myself and being helpful in informing others. But then I read my Grade 4 report card the other day:


'Sarah has a hard time with group work. She tends to dominate conversations and likes to have the last word. This sometimes causes problems with her classmates.'


Hm.


At least I know I've always been that way :)


There's been a lot of love and cuteness in my life lately.

AFTON: I find it funny. Everything important in Afton's world seems to start with 'b'. So Afton can say a myriad of words! An impressive amount for her age! All with one little sound: 'Buh" 

"Buh- Buh"=bottle, belly button, baby and bye-bye 

"Buh"= bird, button, bear, book, boot and ball.

She also says more and mine with a simple "Muh" 

But she moves her hand at the same time with a "come here"motion making it all the cuter!

She also says "There" (or "duh") and "Where is it? Where did it go?" which is also accompanied by two little hands held up in a shrug. She makes a kissing sound, she kisses a real, juicy, lip-smacking tiny little perfect kiss, and she talks, believe me she talks, with all kinds of inflection and passion! Oh the cuteness of this age! The soft-cheeked, kissable, snuggable, adorable-bummed sweetness of this age! She always has a serious, curious look on her face. I really think she gets a lot more than she lets on. Love her.

 Look at these two. I mean seriously. Seriously, there are no cuter two.

Except maybe these two:

 Jesse was sooo sick this weekend which was sad because his beloved Hunter was here to visit. Hunter spent lots of time with him anyway, taking care of him and teaching him all kinds of stuff as Hunter is wont to do. Jesse woke up first thing this morning, barely able to breathe because of his croup, and sang me a whole funny song Hunter had taught him. Thanks for making these days a little more sunny for my boy Hunter!

We had so much fun at the zoo to see the penguins. They were awesome! I love penguins! It was fascinating and because Jesse is learning about penguins in school he knew facts and was very interested.

The kids with King Tut:

I can't wait until:

- I have my new lamp shade 
- my cast is off and my foot is healed and I can actually really work out again
- Brad is finished school forever! June baby!!
