A Poem...

One of the sweetest ladies on the planet (my Gran) said of the blog..."Do you think we might see poetry there sometime?" Hmmm, Gran...was that a hint! For those who haven't known me quite as long as my Gran, I like to write the occasional poem. Sometimes they've been very good...you can all decide about this one...mainly, I'm inspired by a less than perfect picture I wanted to post..

Rub-a-dub-dub, three kids in a tub

One little sister and two big "bubs".

The first one let out a gleeful scream.

The second one looks like he's having a dream.

The little one, she's just glad to see...

Boys are sillier than she can be!

I know, I know...Goofy!!! I hope you have someone in your life that you love so much you will write goofy poems about them!

Well, it's been another week...

With an extreme lack of posting!! So sorry!

I had been holding off on a post thinking we had some news on our housing situation/upcoming move...but not yet. Stay tuned. We should know something very soon!

Well, I could post again how I am grateful for sinks. But I'll spare you the details. I will say I wish the mall would have a bathroom that is NOT upstairs in the very back of a department store! Talk about a long way to go with an exploding diaper, a screaming child inside that diaper, and 2 boys who are fascinated that you have...well, poop everywhere! And, yes...that is sparing you the details...but that was nearly a week ago and all is well now!

I could also have another post about things shoved in places they should not be. Today...oatmeal in the ears. That was breakfast. Tuna cakes in the ears...that was dinner. Hmmm...I can't remember what she had for lunch...she must have liked it!

But, my post is going to be about my inlaws! They are awesome. (you guys probably already knew that). AND...they are in their new house!! Yipppeeee. It was really neat to see everyone come together and help out. I always love to see that! People bring food, people pack boxes and lift heavy furniture...it is just great to see everyone reaching out to help someone else make a house their new home. Every time I thought of the many memories on the tree swing out front...or the stories they tell of the "clubhouse" outback and the neighborhood kids...so many memories...when I would think of those things I remembered...WOW...we have a whole new house to make tons more memories! I didn't get any picture taking done this weekend (duh...they were moving)...but we go back on Sunday and I plan to get some shots of the boys screaming down the driveway on the brand new Green Machine!

I'll leave you tonight with some tree swing pictures...sorry, I know they will make some cry (I cried putting them together)...but happy tears for happy memories and hopeful tears for all the new things to come!
