the week so far

1. mike and kaylee have a ritual after playing in the snow, they go across the street and check out the river (behind the trees) then go to the pond and sit on the dock. i love this special father and daughter times. {blogger. this is when i don't like you. you make my very large photo look itty bitty}

2. been a semi busy week. monday the kids had the day off from school for president's weekend so kaylee and i went to shipshewana. met up with some friends to play in the toy store, ride the merry go round and eat some amish made pretzels. our friends then left us to do some shopping.

3. tuesday we stayed in and did this thing called housework. (though the house is a mess again)

4. wednesday was finally back to normal day. both kids had school. while driving out of our neighborhood to take ham to school, i almost took out one of my neighbors mailbox. thats how bad my tires are.

5. after dropping kaylee off at school, i went and got 4 new tires. since ham is now driving my car too, i want the car to be extra safe. will be interesting if he says anything today after school. {driving the car feels like buttah-its that smooth}

6. starting today i am trying to watch what i eat. smaller portions, better for me foods and some sort of movement as exercise. i am at my heaviest weight besides pregnancy weight. high school, college and even AFTER hamilton was born i weighed no more than 110 pounds. about 2 years before kaylee was born i weighed 115 give or take a few pounds.

7. the love they have for each other inspires me to be a better wife. {click on their red words to read the sweet stories}

8. one day last week kaylee asked me where daddy's girl parts were. i told her daddy never had girl parts, just boy parts because he is a boy. then she says something and adds -girl parts make more sense. funny yet weird at the same time.

9. this morning i found kaylee's american girl doll jammie package on the porch. i'm waiting for my happy mail so we can open them together and so she will have something to open when i open mine.

10. from the above photo, i'm thinking i need a new lens. something so that i can zoom across the pond while standing on the front porch.
