Lars speaks!

I have started keeping a notebook of funny things that my kids say, because at the time they say it, I think, "That was so funny, I'll never forget it." Then, when I sit down to write a post or tell Mom something over the phone, I don't have the slightest idea what they said or why it was funny.

Hopefully, next week, I'll have something funny to share!

Lars spoke his first decipherable word this week: Ut Oh....

And he continued to drop things off his high chair and say, "ut oh" over and over and over again. I, too, thought it was cute at the beginning, but after a while, not so much.

I realized how 'not funny' it was today in church when he chucked his pacifier, cheerios & sippy cup out into the main aisle, looked up at me and said, "UT OH".

Generally busy week we had in our house. It's Lent, so seems like nights get eaten up quicker. Had three EMS meetings scheduled this week, but only made it to two. Grass fire season has begun, as we've had about an inch of precipitation all winter and the prairie grass is ready to ignite when the sun looks at it too hot. I'm still teaching piano lessons on Thursdays after school, with Voice Choir in the evening. Pastor had a meeting on Monday night and church on Wednesday, so that was that.

Friday, the boys got haircuts in the morning. Lars was not the angel that he had been the 1st two times he got it cut, so I ended up holding him while Joy went at it. By the end, I had hair in my face, my mouth, my hair, and down my shirt. Fine, soft, invisible hair all over me. It's only soft when it's not in your bra, by the way.

After running some errands, we ate lunch and took naps. On a last minute decision, we ran to Sidney to get some material for a project that I'm working on. I priced it at Scottsbluff it was going to cost $58.00 and the same service would cost $5.00 in Sidney. Since each town is exactly the same distance from our house, we headed south.

A beautiful day for a drive, but the plains are so self explanatory. Plain. Miles and miles and miles of nothing but prairie grass. Part of me says, "Wow, that's amazing that you can see so far with no houses" and part of it makes me really nervous, "Wow, if our car breaks down, we're screwed".

Douthits came over for a new Mexican dish (Taquitos/Flautas) and we played cards while the girls watched Disney's, The Rescuer.

Now everybody is tired from that missing hour of sleep. What actually happens to that one hour, anyway?

Another busy week ahead, but the weather looks to stay sunny and bright.
