ABCs of Me 

This weekend is crazy! Movie party Friday night, book party Saturday (don't forget to order online by Sunday at midnight CST if you want), church Sunday. I have been sick and just exhausted lately, so I'm hoping for some sleeping in, too. But to get you through the lull of the weekend (ha), I thought I'd leave you with some random tid-bits about myself.


(A) Age: I will be 25 in just under a month (yes, I know I'm young)
(B) Bed Size: King. Big A & I decided during my 2nd pregnancy that we couldn't deal with a queen anymore (especially a hand-me-down queen) so we upgraded. However, I cuddle so much, we may as well have a twin.
(C) Chore You Hate: Dishes and laundry. I hate things that are never ending.
(D) Dogs? I wish. We can't have pets in our rental. And I don't want a dog in town; I think it's cruel. I definitely don't want a dog in my house - gross.
(E) Essential Start Your Day Item: I am with TMB; I'm starving when I wake up so I like me some breakfast. Something nonessential to the start of my day: whining. I could do without.
(F) Favorite Color: Pink and green (like grass green, not neon).
(G) Gold or Silver? White gold or silver - as long as it looks silver-ish.
(H) Height: 5ft 3.75in. I'm shortest in my family and my boys will outgrow me soon. Moose has 1 foot 8 inches until he reaches my height. Unfair.
(I) Instruments You Play: Flute and piccolo. Although I would LOVE to play piano.
(J) Job Title: Trophy wife. Supermom.
(K) Kids: TWO boys: in July Moose will be 4 and Squirt will be 2 (how did that happen so fast?).
(L) Live: Northeastern Kansas (whoa, how weird is that to type?).
(M) Mom's Name: Fonda. Yes she was named after Henry Fonda, NOT Jane or Peter.
(N) Nicknames: Lovely (from Big A), Babydoll (from my dad), Friend (from my older sister).
(O) Overnight Hospital Stays? Just when the boys were born, oh, and when I was like 2 weeks old for jaundice.
(P) Pet Peeve: Being late. I hate being late. I'd rather be 20 minutes early...ok maybe not, that's weird but 5 minutes is good.
(Q) Quote from a Movie: From The Back-up Plan [about parenthood] "It's awful, awful, awful. Then a small moment happens, that's so magical. that makes it all worthwhile." (he repeats this a few times to let the awful part sink in). That's pretty much the truth. I also watched this movie 3 times in about 24 hours this weekend. ha
(R) Right or Left Handed? Right.
(S) Siblings: Two sisters; one older, one younger.
(T) Time You Wake Up? 6-6:30 am
(U) Underwear: Clean ones.
(V) Vegetable You Dislike: olives, radishes, cabbage (unless it's in coleslaw).
(W) What Makes You Run Late: laziness, my kids, my husband, sickness....lots of things can happen.
(X) X-Rays You've Had Done: my ankle when my growth plate broke in 4th grade
(Y) Yummy Food You Make: Enchiladas, chili, goulash, Tex-mex slow cooker meal, pumpkin crisp, apple crisp, cupcakes
(Z) Zoo, Favorite Animal: Pandas! I love the DC Zoo! *wanted to upload a picture but can't find it, boo*

I second the laundry. It just seems so...pointless. That and mopping our floors. I just do it because I'm supposed to. It doesn't stay clean for 5 seconds.

Love your job title, btw!

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
