This and That and the Other Thing

Sometimes you just have to bowl at home!  Can you think of a funner way to knock down block houses?

Saturday is the day I reserve for little ideas that can't quite fill a whole post or answers to questions that have been asked and brewing all week.

#1. Faraway sister is not either of my sisters, Brad's faraway sister, or Sister Christian. It is OUR faraway sister, Miss Heidi. So Alisa, no fights with Karen over this!

#2. Tucker is indeed going to BYU-Provo, and Heidi is at BYU-I.

#3. I did NOT win the Organizing Junkie contest. I cried, thought about eating a carton of Haagen Dazs Dulce La Leche, thought better of it, then organized about half of my craft room. Felt better when I was done.

#4. See those darling pics of my kids on the wall of the stairway in the last post?  The smallest Command peel-n-stick hooks(see them here) are not strong enough for my IKEA frames, apparently. Tucker's photo completed a suicide mission and took Ben's out in the process; Lily's slipped to just one hook, knocking Micah's crooked. And then, at 3 am Wednesday morning, Brad and I startled awake to Heidi's pic abandoning its post. Job for Saturday--trip to IKEA (darn!) for two new frames and trip to hardware store for appropriate hardware.

#5. Hyrum asked me yesterday: "Why your hair like dat?" "Why, buddy, don't you like it?" "No, it's ugly. (pause) But I like your clothes."

#6. Lily claimed today that it was "too hot" to play at the playground. I think I caught the digital mercury hovering around 73. She's in for a looong summer.

#7. Don't forget Daylight Savings tonight. Unless, of course, you live in AZ. And if you don't, remember that those of us in AZ do not celebrate the increasing hours of daylight, and then please refrain from calling us at a time you used to think was reasonable. It is most likely still too early.

Don't be too grumpy losing that extra hour of sleep tonight!
