I really haven't given up blogging. The pictures I've been posting from my computer are coming out really blurry and it's been bothering me A LOT. I know there is a way to fix it. I just haven't figured it out yet. I just wanted to give all those thousands of people who read my blog a heads up, because I know a lot of people were really worried. :) I feel out of the loop because I took the Facebook app off my phone for a while because I wanted to see if I could refrain from checking it so often. It was getting a little ridiculous.
As for an update on us, nothing is really new around here. Bentley just had his 6th birthday(!!!) and we had a little party for him. Blake is still the fashion diva, and has just turned a corner in the bossy area. I'm not sure if I like it, but what can you do. And Bristol just keeps being cute. Almost running, yelling as he does it and SO close to talking. Dave still is getting used to his job and seems to be liking it really well. I'm doing all I can to keep up with three active, and usually well-behaved, children. Getting up early to get Bentley off to school still hurts a bit. His school starts at 7:45. That means I have to get up around 6:45. Does that seem early to anyone else but me?? Just wondering. I'm also slowly getting to know the other girls around here. I used to be really social in that area, but these days anytime I have free time I just want to do nothing. Or eat a meal in silence. Or watch a show for 30 minutes without having to do anything for anyone. You know, little things like that that you take for granted until you have 2 or more small children in your household. I just keep reminding myself that this is just a short season in my life, and that I'll miss it someday. Somedays it does NOT feel like that though.
Okay, I'm done rambling. I could go on, but my kids have been entertaining themselves for long enough. It's right at the point where it's about to get ugly. Time to go intervene. And clean.

Things I have to put in print or I will forget:
(2/10/2011) B, running out of the play room: "Mom, my car just flew through the tunnel off the ramp!!"
Me: "Cool, buddy!"
Running back to his room, paused and looked back and said in a serious voice: "It's because it has magic in it."
(11/11/2010) Bentley was watching me pick up toys in our backyard after a downpour so they could dry, shouted at me through the window: "Mom! Thanks for being such a great helper!!"
I was looking at some really cute outfits my sister bought for Blake.
B: "Did Jody get those outfits for Blake?"
Me: "Yeah, she did!"
B: "Oh. That was nice of her!"
B, noticing a cut I had on my toe: "Mom, how did you hurt your toe?"
Me: "On one of your toys, remember?"
B: "Oh, one of my freaking toys?"
Me, laughing: "Yeah, that's probably what I said at the time!"
(After finding B, who we thought was asleep for the night, on his bed with ALL the blankets he owns on it, with his diaper off, sitting next to a puddle of pee on the mattress:)
Me: "I'm not happy with you."
B: "I'm not happy with me, either."
(A conversation between B and his Nana while we were in Dallas. Not sure what they were debating over, but it is still funny.)
My mom: "Yes, it is."
B: "No, it's not."
My mom: "Yes, Bentley, it is."
B: "No it's not, you little liar!!"
Note to self: Don't call your son a little liar, even in jest.
Me: "Cool, buddy!"

Thanks for the update. That does seem early, and I'm not even a school mom. School here starts at 8:15 and them the moms walk across the street to the church and work out together while their pre-schoolers play. It's nice.
Amen, amen, and amen.
I like the update, even if it has to be without pics. And I'm with Lorraine here--amen big time. To the craziness, to 6:45am feeling early, to being slower to make girl friends, to wanting to eat a meal in silence. Amen. You are not alone! :)
