a little run down

Well I know I have been a little neglectful of the blog lately. I have been quite successful on keeping my house in order. I recently reorganized my laundry room and I am LOVING it. I am so happy when I do my laundry, I can't say I am more motivated to get started but once I am started its a great day. Thank you for the inspiration Emily.

We had a fun valentines. Well Hemingway Valentine's (we celebrate on the 15) Yes we love the day after sales. And we really over indulge. Mark got me 5 dozen roses, one from each boy. And I got him 4 boxes of chocolates. How can you go wrong when everything is 50-75% off :) We had dinner with a table cloth (that means nice in this house) and then a special v-day dessert. And then we ended by watching my favorite show Chuck.

Unfortunately my camera is broken :( So this will have to become a pictureless blog for a while.
So here are a few of the funny moments in life lately.

I took Jake to get his valentines at Walmart on Saturday. On the way there we pass the Texas Roadhouse. Jake informs me that some outside is smoking. Here is our conversation after the observation.

Jake: why do people smoke?
Me: they probably don't know that Heavenly Father has asked us not to.
Jake: I saw smoke coming out of their mouth, if its coming out of their mouth how do their lungs get all black?
Me: some of the smoke goes inside too.
Jake: What do cigarettes even look like? And where to people buy them.
Me: mostly white and they come in a box and you can buy them at Walmart.
Jake: will you show them to me?
Me: sure
Jake: (as we are walking into Walmart)for my birthday I am going to wish that they don't make cigarettes.

As we are checking out at register 19 I am pointing out the boxes of cigarettes and he is telling me I can't see where are they mom, I am turning red. (who in their right mind takes their 5 yr. old to the store and points out cigarettes) I finally ask the cashier if she will point to a box of cigarettes. She does with out questioning me. What a nice gal.

While Jake and Ethan are both at school Andrew take a nap. I try to do something with Ryan but most days I am so tired and I end up letting him watch a movie while I sleep next to him.
Not yesterday. We played Duck Duck Goose. Ryan's choice of course Funny to play that game with only two people. I actually was surprised every time he goosed me since I got ducked so many times I never knew when it was going to come. My favorite part of the game was when it was my turn to be it. Ryan sat on the floor, pointing to himself and talking in a soft voice kept saying "pick me pick me" Did I have any other choice? SO funny. Love that kid.

oh and I am looking for some sort of dang cute ST Patty's day craft to make and put in my crates. If anyone has any brilliant ideas please let me know. I am trying to keep it under $10. Thanks :)
