Did you know?

that pork chops cooked with strawberry preserves are awesome? [Apple jelly also works well with them.] See, my kids each have a day they help me make dinner, and Morgen chose to make strawberry pork chops tonight. Yum!

Oh, and I am slowly killing off my house plants. Really, I water them. I do!!!! But either they're getting too much [doubtful], or not enough, or maybe there's some special thing that people who are real gardeners do with their indoor plants that I somehow missed learning. Hmmph.

Avril Lavigne has an awesome CD out- "The Best Damn Thing"- which rocks.

Fritos are sneaky. You munch on them for 5 minutes, feeling totally empty, and all of a sudden you eat one last chip and =poof! You're completely bloated.

Myles still has no teeth. He is biting, though. Not sure why; maybe because "if you bite things, they will grow" is his new philosophy, similar to the "Field of Dreams" thing.

Macey's grocery store sells ice cream in their deli. Hyrum and I usually get twist cones, and eat them while we shop. So I can now push a shopping cart and hold my shopping list and a pen in one hand, while I hold my twist cone in the other.

Myles believes that all ice cream he sees should be his. He tells us this very loudly, with his mouth wide open to encourage the sharing. Yes, I know, he's too little to be eating dairy products. But I'm not telling *him* that! [and if *you* tell him, *you* get to hold him]

Morgen has no top teeth, so she lisps. When she gets excited and talks fast [happens a LOT], it is very hard to understand anything she says.

I have a neighbor who crochets! And she's my age. Hah!

Hyrum is going to be a monkey when he grows up. Or maybe Spiderman. He is not yet 4, and he can climb our tree, the fence, onto both of our cars, and all over the swing set. I'm amazed he hasn't broken any bones yet.

Walker has read [in the past 2 weeks or so] all 13 books in "A Series of Unfortunate Events," Harry Potter 5 and 6, and a bunch of chapter books from the library. Now to get him working on his math...

Jared got to PA just fine. He's learning about chemistry things. Not the cool blowing up kind, though.

my house is much too quiet- better check for messes...
