He made me wet my pants....

"7" years ago today, Noah did this to me. He decided to break up the baby shower at the park. Of course he wasn't born 7 years ago today....he waited till the wee hours of the morning to bless us with his presence. I'm so glad my mom got this picture that day. My dad was having a heart attack though. He was a nervous wreck. He didn't think it was appropriate to be taking pictures of me when we should have boiling water.

I'm really bad at this

Blogging is hard work! I'm going to try harder to be a better blogger. Now I've written it, so it must be true.

Conversation with Noah

This morning we had to be up and out of the house 20 minutes earlier than we are used too. I had parent teacher conference with Noah's teacher before school. The kids were excited about arriving early because I promised they could buy breakfast.

Every morning I put out Noah's clothes for him and he gets dressed usually without hesitation. Did I mention that Noah has about 6 pairs of pants and only 2 pairs are blue jeans. His other 5+ pairs of blue jeans are now strictly for play due to the holes in the knees. When I went to check on Noah before leaving he had put on a different pair of pants other than the pair I had left out for him. When I asked him why, he told me that his blue jeans matched his shirt better. So off we went.

During my conference with Noah's teacher Hannah & Noah came in to eat their breakfast. When I left I walked over to tell the kids goodbye. Here's my conversation with Noah.

me- Bye Noah...have a good day. Love you.
N- Bye Mom...Love you too.
me- Noah...why do you already have grass stains on your pants?
N- Because I took them out of my hamper.
me- that's gross Noah!
N- he...he....he!!!

On another note, his conference went well. He is reading beyond his level and love taking tests on the computer. We have been reading the Magic Tree House series and he loves them. I like them too.

Surgery Day...

Today my Dad is having a knee replacement. He's been having knee problems for many years, but just recently it became worse. Today, I will be sitting at the hospital with my Mom keeping her company while Dad receives his bionic knee. I will post more later.

My Dad & I at the beach

Losers...

Well, yesterday was weigh in Monday at Weight Watchers. I met dad there during my lunch. He was waiting for me in his usual seat in the very back. Dad, don't you know that if you want and "A" you have to sit up front. We both had a great week. My dad has lost a total of 11.2 lbs, and I'm at 16.2 lbs total. It feels great to see those numbers drop consistently every week. We have family pictures scheduled in May down at the beach, so I've got something to work for...especially since I don't want my picture taken much these days. Thanks for all your support dad! I'm proud of us!
