Rice Family

blah de blah dee blah. Good weekend, way too short....and clothes shopping SUCKS! Or rather, I'm terrible at shopping - for me, I'm really good at finding stuff for my kid-o's!

I realized that I hold myself together when I cry. when you try to hug me I push you away because I'm afraid that when I reach for you everything I'm holding back will fall no matter how hard you try. (and no, i'm not crying or sad, I just realized it.)

E is trying to learn to crawl... M fell asleep listening to her music M and J on the sky- trolley thing; E chillin in his stroller.

We went to the state fair yesterday with Justi, Sammie and a friend, and we had a lot of fun. Including going down a giant slide with M (her idea) and J and M riding on the air trolley-thing, which she seemed to like a lot. All of this complimented by food of course! All in all we tried a gyro and a pork loin sandwich for lunch, tasted Justi's taco-cone, sammie's turkey leg, devoured some funnel cake, shared a stuffed cucumber (probably my favorite), and for desert we shared fried cheese cake and fried oreos. (and you thought the funnel cake was desert!) I think that is all we ate. I will post a few pics next time. We love the fair.

So, E finally popped up two teeth. The two bottom front ones....now, I'm still uncertain as to if this is the cause of all the drool or not - considering he's been drooling like crazy for about 2 or 3 months.

M can wink now - not like this - she can actually wink, but this is how she taught herself. This is M's "house." We bought a new water heater and this was once it's box - it has much better purposes now! We let M sleep in it on J's birthday. Yes, the box is still in our house, even though its a week or so later. E does not like sweet potatoes...but he does like eating!

I dragged my butt to school this morning, not willingly - but I did it. I lug myself out of my van (yes I LOVE driving my van to school - can you hear my sarcasm?) and try to perk up on my way up to the building when a gust of wind blows my hair all amuck - why do I even try?- so I tuck my head down and keep on trudging...and laugh a little to myself. I had totally forgotten to remove the neon pink nail polish M painted on my toes (and I do mean my TOES) a couple of days ago. Thanks M. I love you. Now. back to class...
