Weekly Wrap

It has been a busy weekend getting ready for company this next week. My Mom & Dad arrive today (Hurray!!!). I can't wait to see if the boys remember them & how long it takes for Joseph to realize Grandpa Carter isn't just a picture on the fridge & Grandma Carter doesn't just talk to him on the phone. Later in the week, my brother & new sister-in-law to be, and my Grandparents, and my sister-in-law, and my niece and nephews, and Grandma & Grandpa Rose will all be joining us. So Fun!!!

Amazing where I find things now-a-days; you never know what random items will show up in unusual places . . . spoons in the towel drawer, blankets & clothes in the shower, Legos EVERYWHERE, a toothbrush on the stairs, puzzle pieces in the dryer, and lightsabers in shoes.

We attempted to get family pictures taken at Target this week. I should have known it was a bad idea when both boys got a cold early in the week, and Benjamin managed to clobber Joseph with a toy, causing a huge forehead bruise & a scratch across his eyelid. But, no, I pushed ahead...and unfortunately we got a very inexperienced photographer who had no idea what to do with 2 squirmy toddlers. Not one single picture turned out {insert sad face}. I think we are going to try using a professional photographer next time instead of a store-based studio. As my husband said..."you get what you pay for!"

You can see Joseph's eye scratch in this picture...

Bananas are well-liked around here right now {grin}. Manners are still a work in progress.

Our church had a pie fellowship last night. LOVE pie. Oh & thank you Dawn for reminding me that a pumpkin pie is an entire 9 points with Weight Watchers! The guilt I felt for eating it was quite bad, but it didn't stop me. {grin}
