Tip for expectant mother and good news/bad news

Dear Kerry,
Here is one thing to know as a future parent: kids are not logical.

Case in point:

Baby Katherine usually takes 3 naps a day and goes to sleep between 7-9pm. Today she decided to take ONE 20 minute nap. Logic says she will go to sleep early, right? Well, she went to sleep after 9pm, after a long massage, singing, nursing, back patting and finally tylenol. (As a side note, she is still a very happy baby, even with no sleep). But,
they are definitely worth it!

Case in point:

Dancing to the Superbowl half-time music:


























I love you! I'm so glad you are my sister!

Some more good news and bad news:


bad news:

I threw a paint bucket in the laundry room and it opened all over the dirty clothes.

good news:

It mostly got on sleeping bags and blankets, but it ruin some clothes (it could have been ALOT worse), so we get to get some new clothes!

good news:

Todd made some REALLY good cookies for our "Superbowl party" (just our family, and really it's not about football, it's about the food). He wrapped them up on the counter for us to eat after church. We did steal a few and boy were they good! (He made other things, too, but he is going to post them on his blog with pictures)

bad news:

We came home and saw that Rocket had eaten ALL 14 cookies. He had to be outside the rest of the day, mostly so Todd didn't kill him. Todd tolerates Rocket because he knows the rest of us like him, and Todd had spent a long time making those cookies and was really looking forward to them. BBBBAAAAAADDDDDD dog!
Rocket outside pouting, with 14 caramel coconut chocolate cookies swimming in his tummy, sitting on the painted blankets we threw out back to dry.

Did Todd try any of the cookies before "the dog" ate them all? I want to try one.

Todd said...

Yes, we all had some cookies, even Todd. They were really good. Todd said he would post pictures and recipes tonight.

Bad Rocket!!! Yes, Nathan was the little 5-year old. I've seen him have a hard time with Primary before, so I just tried to talk to him. He wanted to ignore me, but when I talk to him about Rexy, how can he resist?!
