A Nice Evening

Colton has been asking all week to play with Ryker, and today his wish came true.  Kevin and Natalie moved back here in preparation for the big move to Milwaukee this summer.  The holidays will not be the same.  I had such a nice time tonight.  The kids played so good and Natalie provided dinner and of course the most delicious dessert.  It's like a big, thick sugar cookie with ice cream and crushed strawberries.  And I am in love.  And I had someone to talk to, and it was just nice and relaxing.  Kent was watching the Az basketball game on tv and finally I noticed, that I was practically shouting across the room.  He never asked me to be quite, or talk somewhere else, and I never noticed the increased volume of the television, and then all of a sudden I realized we both just kept getting louder to compensate for the other.  And then after 5 minutes I moved.  Too bad he didn't turn down the tv.  And can I just say, Thank you Az cheerleaders for having full tops.  I did not miss the extra skin that WSU so willingly provided. 

I have new curtains.  They are really table clothes from Target.  Amy found them.  They are so perfect.  Suck on that Anthropologie.  Less than half the price.

Pictures.....

Aubrey drew this picture yesterday.  She said to me, "Mom, I'm really good at drawing grass right?"  After she was done, she took it upstairs and laid it on the bed next to Kent, he was sleeping and she wanted to surprise him.  Sweet right?

Aubrey: Mom, do you know who's hands are those?
Me:Who?
Aubrey: Mine!( in a total SURPRISE! voice)  and I was surprised, at how much they look exactly like her hands.....in oompa loompa land...My favorite is the left thumb...it reminds me of this story on tv I saw at my parents.  This guy had his thumb bit off by a fish and so they cut of one of his toes and sewed it on to his hand.  Instant thumb.  It totally grossed me out.  Her right hand looks better because she is left-handed.
