Happy Birthday: Adam


Adam turned 5 today!  I can hardly believe it.  He is such a clown; it's hard to imagine our family without him.  He is constantly giving us something to laugh about.  (His cake, for example.  He wanted strawberry frosting and chocolate frosting on a vanilla cake.  And, of course, he had neopolitan ice cream.)

We celebrated his birthday last Sunday (just like Maryanne) because our house situation had taken a turn for a worst.  For most of this week we believed we would be homeless come Saturday (our vacate date).  So, because we had no idea when we would get into our house, we celebrated his birthday early so he could have his toys for a while as well.

Here are 10 things about Adam:

1: Thing he misses most about Minnesota:

The snow.

2: Thing he likes the most about Arizona:

We get to go swimming a lot.
3: Favorite song:

"Families are Together Forever"
4: What he hopes to be when he grows up:

A builder.

5: Favorite past time:

Play with his Toy Story Legos.

6: What he hopes to accomplish this year:

Go see Tangled.

7: Favorite thing to do with Daddy:

Wrestle.

8: Favorite thing to do with Mama:

Watch Mama play Little Big Planet without dying.
9: Favorite thing to do with his siblings:

Play games with them.

10: What he likes the most about himself:

That it's his birthday.

What I like the most about Adam:
 
Adam is a very loving and kind child.  He is also very imaginative and constantly acts out little games with his children.  He has a sense of humor that is totally his own, and he doesn't even realize it!  Sometimes he will say something and if anyone else had said, it wouldn't have been half as funny.  Maybe it's his voice, or maybe the inflections in his voice, or his body language.  I don't know what it is, but he is always saying something funny without meaning to.  And, I can't imagine it being any other way.  Nor would I want it.  He is so fun to be with, and I love that I get to spend all day with him.
 
Happy Birthday, Adam!

Ah! Happy Birthday Adam! What a sweet little guy you have there. I love it when my boys say things that are funny, without even meaning to. I hope they'll always have that sense of humor as they get older.
Happy Birthday to him, we tried to call Jon's phone but he did not answer. Hope that he had a great day, it seems like your kids are geting SO big and old! I sure wish that we had more time and were closer so we could get to know all of them better and watch them grow! We love all of you!

Pink Day

Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks.

My Two Teenagers

As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
