The Three "Grossest" Things...

The three "grossest" things I've done today are...

-disposing of a slug and its slimy trail in my family room
-taking care of a bed-wetting accident where the child (who shall remain nameless) was literally wet all the way down to their ankles
-reaching into the toilet to retrieve the toy car that had been dropped in


Tomorrow's worst job looks to be (because I didn't quite get to it today)...
-cleaning up the dog droppings left in my yard by someone else's dog. This is why I don't have a dog!!!

How about you? :)

Business Trips

I think business trips should be outlawed. John should be pleasantly surprised to come home on Friday and find all our kids still alive. I don't know how single parents do it (and I'm not trying to balance a job at the same time. Wow.) Keep me in your prayers!

Pinewood Derby

Nathan had his first cub scout pack meeting tonight- the pinewood derby! Our pack lets siblings race, too. A great idea, in my opinion. Katie had a pink car decorated with hearts, raspberries and lemons. It was named "Raspberry Lemonade" and it won the award for the "Loveliest Car". Gregory decorated his car, "Lightning" with a ton of stickers ranging from Goofy to Christmas trees and won the "Best use of decals award". We painted Nathan's car to look like the car from the new movie "Speed Racer". He named it "Mach 5" and it won the "Mach Speed" award. Each child won in at least one of their heats and Nathan placed third in the wolf den (hence the trophy). Katie's car was actually the 4th fastest of the whole night, but the 1,2, and 3 spots were also "siblings", so she didn't get a trophy for her category. Too bad. All in all it was a really fun night.

Here are some photos of the evening.
