Five on Friday

Rice: I walked out of the shower Wednesday to find Billy's head buried in the bed covers. After hearing his name, he quickly turned his head towards me, licking his lips. There was rice stuck all over his lips and nose. I then remembered I had used a hot rice pillow that night. I ran over to the bed, eyes wider by the step. Rice. Everywhere. I tried to start piling the rice, forgetting my hand was still wet from the shower. Sticky rice. I locked the pups out of the room and got the vacuum. I vacuumed all the rice I could find (found out that I missed a few the next night). It is so hard to vacuum bed sheets. I then had to pick up the rice pillow, while trying to plug all of the holes he had made. Rice made Billy's tummy crazy for awhile...and led to a late night clean up that both Grant and I do not want to remember ;) This is my second incident with rice in a week, if you remember the phone in rice last week.

Maybe all that rice is why Billy (or Lisa; not sure who did this) is against the Low Carb cookbook?

Sister Time: Spent the weekend with Anna. We crammed shopping, the dog park, Lacey's Birthday party, Scrapmania, and a 5k with all the sisters into a teeny little weekend. Not to mention the car concerts. Love you, Na!

Bug turns 10: Our little Lacey Bug turned 10 on the 28th, and Anna and I celebrated with her at her kids' party on Saturday. One forgets how dramatic a boy/girl party can be at that age! A water balloon fight (boys vs. girls, of course) turned into a scratching war....it was unbelievable to have to separate 10 year olds! We also tye-dyed (forgot how fun this was!). I can't believe how much more mature she is each time I see her...and more and more beautiful.

Stress: Ive been a little bit of a stress ball this week. I am learning to TRY to take a breath when needed.

Friends: Have to give a little love to Miss Trish. Hope you are settling in down there! Leann, thanks for all the talks recently and be strong! Boss, give that little man a kisseroo for me!
