an overheard conversation...

Ryan: I need to go poop.

Ian: Well, what's wrong with that?

Ryan: I don't like to go poop. It's so stinky in there [the bathroom] when I go poop.

(several moments of relative silence then....)

Ryan: MOM!!!!!!!

Me: What, Ry?

Ryan: Will you come and wipe my bum?

Ahhhhh, the blessings of motherhood.....sigh.

Just a random report....

Loved this picture collage from our photo session with Shari....thanks! Check out more of her stuff on the link below...

I have been pondering what to put in the blog....it has been awhile since I updated anything. I considered writing about the dog--she has been leaving mouthfuls of dry dogfood in places all over the house. I have wondered why she was doing this. It makes me laugh and be frustrated all at once. I went to my closet a few days back, with the intention of putting on my bathrobe. I had placed it exactly where it belongs in there--on the floor. I picked it up and put it on and down the side of the robe was no less than one dozen pieces of dogfood, all stuck onto the fabric. Katy had "burried" them there. Why? For a late-night snack perhaps? Maybe she thought I'd be hungry at some point?

I could blog about Jim...he gave me permission to talk about his hernia surgery online. However, I don't really know what to say about it. It was--uneventful? The procedure went off without any problems, and so far he is being a very compliant patient. We rotate the frozen pea packages every little while so as to maintain the optimal temperature on the afflicted area. Needless to say that makes for some chilly coconuts!

I could blog about the kids, but I couldn't think of anything particularly funny to say. Nothing of real interest to report. They are still our kids. We still like them most of the time. They keep growing and eating.

I still like new socks, very sharp pencil points and people who use their turn signals on a regular basis.

I got my haircut, and I am still serving as the Young Women's president despite Jim's new calling as a counselor in the bishopric.

I am no longer working at the Blind Onion. I am teaching piano lessons (again) instead. Give me a call if you are interested in lessons!

I suppose that's it. The end....for today. OH wait...I wanted to try something. Would you please comment and make suggestions as to what you'd like to hear about on future blog posts?
