Tuesday
Harrison can find music in anything. Today he made whistles by blowing into his noodles that we ate for lunch. For all of the times I have to say Harrison don't.... scream, make your sister scream, touch that, run, wrestle, this list goes on and on. I also think WOW you have way of finding joy out of everything (Lucky). Julian is LOVING the basketball hoop that Adam put up Saturday. He plays it in the morning before school and as soon as school gets out. Today he asked if he could run to next door and back a couple of times. He just really wanted to run. (I'm jealous) I just love my kids!

Random
Well hello,
I know that this says Adam is posting but I figure that since he used my email address to set up this blog I can blog under his name. All is fair right? I have become a blog stocker lately. I for some unexplained reason enjoy reading about random strangers lives. Maybe its that it makes me feel better to read that some on in Alabama has the same experiences being a parent that I do. So, I have assumed command of this blog. I hope to kind of use it as a journal. We will see if that actually happens.
Olivia and Aiden have colds. Olivia's is just icky and Aiden while still in the early stages looks just as promising. I hope it doesn't come on full force though. We are hoping to bless Aiden on Sunday. Harrison came home from school today telling me that he was invited to a friends birthday party but he didn't want to go so he ripped it up and left it on the bus. Ahhh! For a compassionate child he sometimes can do the cruelest things. Luckily the little boy doesn't know and Harrison and I have had a talk about it so I hope that it doesn't happen again. Being a kid is hard. Being a mom just might be harder.

Olivia's new bed...
Millie's Grandpa Rogers made this bed for her when she was a little girl, and now I have repainted it for our little girl Olivia. We sent the kids to grandma's house for the night and we snuck the new bed into the house to set it up for Olivia. Of course the boys knew she was getting a new bed, but it was a complete surprise for Olivia. When we brought them home for the night, we all gathered in Olivia's room before her to see her reaction. Olivia crept into her room with apprehension, and then just stood there starring at her bed for about twenty seconds without moving. Finally something in her little mind registered that this was her new big girl bed. With glee she ran towards it to jump up on it. In excitement all of the kids got on the bed to jump and play around on it.
After some time we got them all calmed down and put to bed. Olivia was beside herself with this new found freedom. Gently we tucked her into bed and closed the door on the way out; not ten second later we hear her sticking her head out of the door asking Mommy for a glass of water. The funny thing was that she was handing her a cup that was full of water. She crept out of bed and out of her room a few more times that night, but eventually slept very soundly on her bed.
Just look how little she is in her big girl bed!!!

Harrison
This morning we were sitting on our bed playing with Olivia (actually we were arguing as to who would feed Olivia her breakfast), when Harrison came in to join us. He quickly accepted the mission of going into the kitchen and getting his little sister a Graham Cracker.
A short time later we hear him struggling with a new box of crackers. The next thing we know the box of crackers popped open and fell to the floor and then "OOHHH! I didn't 'spect that to happen," Harrison exclaims.
We could hardly contain or even disguise our laughter as he came triumphantly back into the room with the broken cracker pieces in hand.
That boy makes me laugh.
