8am and here we go with the Jake and Grant comedy sports entertainment. It started when Jake screamed "Mommy, Mommy Grant is dead" as Grant layed sleeping and snoring loudly next to me on the bed. Jake was sleeping slightly in between us or on top of us, it varies due to his spastic spinning in the night. Grant has started for the first time in his entire life to sleep in and Jake is responding the way Ted did when he got home form work to find us all still asleep or when I woke up before Grant to silence in our house. Something must most certainly be wrong, we thought. In the beginning we were sure Grant was getting sick for the first week, then we thought he was having a growth spurt, then it occurred to me that he plays hard everyday outside and is dealing with sir-kicks-all-night. Jake still flips out every morning. It's getting old, but it is still kindof funny. Never the possibility that something is wrong with Grant, but Jake's serious freak-out is quite entertaining.
Shortly thereafter came the I pooped, I need to poop, I smell poop, Jada needs to poop, now I want to eat. Yep, directly in that order.
Then I heard a scream "SUCUS!" (Lucas- as said by Jake), followed by "FAITH!" IBELLABELLA!" My first irrational thought is "oh crap, the house is a disaster and it smells like poop! please God just give me one more hour before someone shows up!" Then it hit me. I stole my Mom's digital picture frame that we gave her for Christmas and last night I downloaded all of the pictures off of my computer onto the frame. (Let me first clarify that not only had she never opened the box but it had not moved from the exact location it had been place in December. I had it sitting on the end table and Jake was standing in front of it in awe! I had no idea how time consuming this could be for the two boys. Now I am typing. I could be cleaning. But why clean when I could write. Hallllaaaa!
Ted works day shift today for some firearms training. But I'm happy he will work a normal schedule for once. 7am-3pm holy mackerel this is like a vacation day to me....seriously. I wish this was his shift all of the time.
Now I have to to practice for Saturday's race. Amber and I ran 4 miles yesterday. I need to practice. Grant is running the 1 miler with Sidney (Amber's daughter- Grant's friend) and after I run I'm taking them down to the WIU track for grant to run one lap around the track (1/4 mile). He is excited. I told them I would let them get a tropical snow when Daddy got home this afternoon...yes, all the food dyes included! We are going to go back to the library to check out a ton more books because in a week they put a limit on how many books you can check out at a time due to the summer reading program. Hence why we go three times a week, we read four books in like five minutes...that stinks. Last time they both got to check out 10 books! I have 12 checked out for building a farm and homestead right now! OK. Peace out.
Don't forget to ace wrap or better to duct tape the ice pack to your foot when chasing small children, but not directly onto the skin. 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. Take Aleve (1 capsule) for pain or (Motrin 800mg)for inflammation, but for it to really work well for inflammation you have to do it until the injury is more mobile and less stiff or swollen. I'm only saying this because I know you aren't going to the doctor...but you really should if it starts to hurt worse. I will be amputating by Friday and putting on a prosthetic if it isn't better by then.
"I love people who have been through adversity and heartache and obstacles as impossible as the sun itself. They usually make it out with hearts as warm as gold. Cores made of fire. Lives soaked with full intention. Hope like another morning. They know how to start again- how to walk through walls with palms wide open, and how to begin at the edge, and end. Those to me, are the best people." ~Victoria Erickson

Hey, I saw the frame at your house yesterday and thought you got one too. I left it there so someone would download pictures for me. Is it ready to return? I can't believe you sent me this so I would know. I still have the key chain one I need done also.
