things I've learned this week

• Seeing the ob/gyn and the dentist in the same week is way too much torture to endure in a mere seven days.
• For some reason, the Pinewood Derby brings out much more competitiveness in the dads than the boys.
• Ignoring the laundry to scrapbook will induce no guilt whatsoever for me. [Note to self: DO THIS MORE OFTEN.]
• My kids are the absolute best. I really do adore them.
• Josh's car should not display how many miles he can go before running out of gas. He will push the limit, get down to zero, and RUN OUT OF GAS.
• I, of course, will bail him out while thinking, (but not saying), I TOLD YOU SO. Because I'm just a good woman that way.
• It is beyond my understanding, but McKay and Chase are incapable of keeping a light bulb in the lamp in their room for more than a week without it burning out/breaking/shattering/spontaneously exploding/just plain not working. (What do they do in there at night??)
• Amazing Grace is a fantastic, inspirational movie. See it today.
• Favorite thing this week: Finding out that our friends, Chris and Emily, are coming to visit next weekend. Yay!
