Something

This has been a fairly uneventful week in the Adams' house.

The week started out calmly with laundry, loads of laundry, on Monday. ( I am still doing laundry today!! But I did lots on Monday)

Tuesday is Bible Study morning. I lead a Moms Bible study once a week. We have about 9 regular moms and no less than 15 children under the age of 4 each week. Most of the moms have 2 or more children, acutally all but one. Some stay in the room with us but in the play room there are usually two or three babysitters and 10 to 12 kids. Can you say Chaos!!! Tuesday afternoon Doug stayed home and helped me clean for the trustees. It was their night to walk through the parsonage. My house is now clean for at least 48 hours until I get behind again. Not sure how that happens but it always does. No surprises on the walk through. It was what we expected.

Wednesday was another quiet day at home.

Thursday the big kids had a half day because of Parent Teacher conferences so they came home at 11:30 and Daniel went to school at noon. It was a backwards day. Thursday night we had McDonalds to celebrate the kids great report cards. Grace made honor roll!! All A's and B's!! (only 2 B's) That ceremony is next Wednesday at opening. We will be there to take pictures.

Today, Friday, the kids had the day off. So they actually slept in until 7:30!! That was a great start to our day. Doug made pancakes and eggs for breakfast. I am not allowed to make pancakes anymore because I burn them. :-) After breakfast the kids and Dad sat down and watched "Fort Apache"! They love that movie. Daniel was once again quaranteened to the bedroom with the tv because he had developed a 1o2 fever!! We took him to Dr. Herbener at noon. No strep just a cold. Thank goodness!! He hates being alone upstairs! Although Nathan wanted to know if Daniel had strep throat again if he would have to have his nostrils taken out. He meant tonsils. The rest of the afternoon was uneventful. Grace had violin practice from 4 until 5:30 then we had dinner and cleaned up for bed. Everyone is asleep and has been since about 8:30!! There really isn't that much going on now, just wait until it gets closer to Christmas though. Life around here gets real fun!!

Oh back to the title of this blog. That is Sarah's new word, something. It comes around often now. "I stinky or something." "I eat oatmeal or something" "I watch tv or something" see the pattern. I have no idea where she picked it up, but it is quite funny. I will listen for more quotes and post them tomorrow. Oh and she is starting to eat each meal like it is her last. Today she had three pancakes and eggs for breakfast and for dinner she had spaghetti, two helpings of cottage cheese, and about 6 slices of peaches. She just kept eating and eating and eating. At least she doesn't complain!!!

One last funny, the boys have played a Wii game with Spiderman in it. The character has a few quotes that he says over and over. One of them the boys, especially Daniel, really like. It goes, "The itsy bitsy spider is gonna web you in the face." Well Daniel says it all the time especially when he plays spiderman or when he is in a scrapping mood. However, it was when I was changing Sarah today and she started to sing what I thought was going to be "The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout" but it turned into "the itsy bitsy spider is gonna web you in the face." Help!!!!
