The wind up

-
We experience this most times we have people over in the evening. Especially when it's our parents. Our kids get wound up. The later it gets the crazier they get. We were with both sets of grandparents at different points this weekend and both times it got crazy.

I don't know how you get them to settle down. I haven't figured it out.

THE list

-
I've been working with my brother-in-law just in enough to experience his lists now for home improvement projects and they are long and they are ever-changing. We got our list going last night for this renovation project and I'll just say I'm glad I've got a brother-in-law that knows home improvement because we'd be lost without him.  We'll see how the day goes today and what we're able to get accomplished!

Poop in a bag

My son's favorite word this year made it into a song by one of his favorite artists, Randall Goodgame. I missed his initial reaction when he heard this song, but my wife said it was hilarious. I don't think he could believe that someone would sing a song about poop. Way to go Randall Goodgame! Way to write a song that sticks in your head and that's catchy and includes the word poop in it. It is hilarious. I haven't had a chance to listen to the entire album, but there are definitely some gems for kids and adults together. Here are the lyrics to Poop in a Bag. Poop in a Bag by Randall Goodgame Walking my dog Down the street Leash in my hand Shoes on my feet We slow down when she starts to squat I scoop the poop and I tie the knot I’ve got poop in a bag Poop in a bag I’ve got hot fresh poop in a bag Poop in a bag Poop in a bag I’ve got hot fresh poop in a bag My friend Suzanne Rounding the block With her best friend Cody Out for a walk They slow down when Cody starts a sn...

Couldn't sleep

-
Is it because we're getting ready for a trip? Is it because one of our kids woke me up at 2:30 and another kid woke me up at 3? Is it because sometimes my mind just gets going? I don't know, but what I do know is starting at about 2:30 until probably 4:30 I didn't sleep, and then I fell asleep for an hour, and then I was up. The other thing I know is when you have little kids you just learn to function on less sleep and sometimes it's just a normal abnormal night sleep. I think our whole family is a little excited about getting away for a while. We'll see how it goes. It's gonna be 16 kids (all cousins) and the oldest is 12! And we're going to try to do some work on our rental property with all that going on! This is the second year we're doing it. Last year was probably a lot more work than this year will be... since we just purchased the property last year and it needed some love. This year it's a lot of smaller projects and clean up.
