Oh, Bless Their Hearts!

We saw an ambulance go by one day last week. Nolan says "Maybe someone is really sick or got really hurt. Like, maybe they fell down on the sidewalk and they were wearing shorts and a tanktop." I almost cried! I love how in his little world that is the absolute worst thing that could happen.

I found a little pink bible for Avrie at Unique this past weekend. She was at a sleepover so I just left it on her bed for her to find when she got home. "Mom! My pink bible! It's my most favorite book in the whole world!"

We are making a big effort to eat more veggies. This morning we had sauteed carrots and red bell peppers with our eggs. Nolan says "Mom, I want mushrooms and brussel sprouts for our next breakfast." Seriously. I can't make this stuff up.

Cole hasn't had any words of wisdom yet but he is cutting four teeth all at once. And he's still a jolly baby. He grunts every now and then to express his discomfort.

We'll be spending this week getting packed for our two-week roadtrip! I mean, I'll be spending this week...

What I'm Thinking About...

• *gulp* Training for a 10k.*

• A new bed. We loathe our Sleep Number.

• My kids. They are growing too fast.

• My knees. They hurt. They will cause an issue with bullet #1.

• Monsanto. Watch this. Unless you're my Dad, then don't. It's infuriating. I don't see myself actively fighting this on a large scale, but I will fight this within my own little family. So get your GMO-laden junkfood away from my precious cargo. Or I'll beat you with a stick. We watched this movie a few weeks ago and I'm still a little bit nauseous. It literally made me almost throw up. And to think we live in a free country. Bah. You won't find me drinking the Kool-aid and donning the Nikes. GO LOCAL, people.

• Our upcoming ROADTRIP with my folks. I'm so excited...the kids are so excited. I'm not sure if poor Evan is....

• Plums. Yum.

• Swimming lessons. One day left.

• Our neighbors. They are awesome. Abby brought over a huge plate of authentic Ethiopian food last Saturday. We had injera, curried veggies, collard greens and red lentils that had cooked all day outside in a big pot on the grill. They were super spicy and delicious. Now if we could just get neighbors on the other side of us....

• Coffee. I'm addicted. Arggggh. I hate it.

• Check out my latest book review. My husband is even reading it. So. Hilarious.

• I was feeling like I hadn't given any effort to this blog lately. So this is my uber lame attempt at getting myself out there again.

*Thinking.
