this and that...10 random happenings

Nothing really exciting has been going on around here.  You probably don't need to know this or even care if you're not Grandma, but here goes nothing:

1.  We've all been sick.  

Everyone has gotten it.  Fevers, cough, and colds.  No fun at all.

2.  Bosten is sleeping in his big boy bed!

I don't know what I said, but he has been really good about not getting out of bed.  

He knows I meant business when I said he was busted if he got out.

3.  The last 2 Thursdays we've gone swimming after school at the rec. center with some kids from Kaden's class.  Its been really fun, and really good for Kaden.

4.  We got snow this week.  The boys were thrilled.  Kaden has been dying to make a fort, and we just haven't had enough snow yet.  We got one started the other day, but ran out of snow.  Now its melted, so we're waiting (with fingers crossed) for the next storm.

5.  I like eating ice cream when watching The Biggest Loser.  I know, its totally ridiculous. 

But actually, a little funny too.

6.  I've been working on Valentine's projects for some of my favorite Valentines.

7.  Kyle had 6 overtime calls the last 2 weeks.  It stinks that he has to go out, but its sure nice when his check comes.

8.  Bosten likes to lock his bedroom door ALL. THE. TIME.  The funny part, though, is the lock is on the outside of his door.  He locks it, goes in his room, plays or reads books, and pounds on the door when he wants someone to come get him.   (You also have to watch him that he doesn't run, lock the door and close it when you're in there.)

9.  We haven't had a good nights sleep for weeks.  One, or both, of the boys have been waking up from being sick or bad dreams or whatever else.  Poor kids.  Poor Mom and Dad.

10.  We have gotten some answers that we've been desperately searching for.  Its already made a huge difference in our family (just the knowing) and we are grateful.
