Monday Morning Musings - And Party EV-ER-E-DAY!


I was trying to bribe Emily to do something last week. Nothing was working. So I said, "Fine. Then I won't tell you who the next person in our old neighborhood is that is having twins." Yep. It's true. I just found out last week. Whew! Looks like I escaped just in time. (knock on wood)


The other night I had the TV on and I was listening to the news. They were talking about pirates. Like real, live, actual pirates. I was slipping in and out of consciousness while it was playing in the background. I started dreaming about Johnny Depp. Ya know, pirates. If you're gonna dream about a pirate, you might as well dream about him.


The kids hate it when I sing in the car. Whenever I start to sing, they always say, in exasperated tones, "MOM! QUIT SINGING!!!" The other day I was driving and it was just Addy and me in the car. I started singing and she said, "MOM! QUIT!". My sweet little baby is already turning on me. Stinkin' older siblings.


We were sitting around the dinner table the other night and we were talking about my dad. Aubrey said, "Can we please not talk about Papa?". We asked her why and she said, "Because whenever we talk about him, water starts shooting out of my eyes." Ohhhh.....


We had access to a wii on Saturday. I played Guitar Hero for the first time. I am hooked. Majorly. I need one. But I really shouldn't have one. But I want one.


So while I was playing Guitar Hero on Saturday, I was playing and belting out the song, "I Wanna Rock & Roll All Night". I was really into it. So into it that I had no idea that one of the guys who works for Steve came over to get his paycheck and was standing in the doorway watching/laughing at me. I think it should be a rule that if your wife is doing something that would be embarrassing if an outsider were to see, you should tell her, "Hey, there is an outsider watching you." Steve, on the other hand, doesn't think that would be a very fun rule.

Ally don't get guitar hero, get rock band instead. That way you can sing too, and the whole family can play. Actually wait and get Guitar Hero World Tour: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_Hero_IV

That is what I am holding out for.

Why wouldn't' you dream about Will? Just askin'.

To tell you the truth, I had a mini love affair with the Wii when we first got it and now I wish it would disappear into the netherworld. Of course, I don't have Guitar Hero or Rock Band.

Steve was telling me about the Rock Band. It sounds very much fun. We are all hooked on the wii around here now.

So I was hoping someone asked about who was having twins in the old ward...that is crazy how many twins have been born!
Good thing we moved huh? That is really exciting for Allison though.
