7 quick takes ~ early summer

I know it's time to post 

when Tyler asks if I've posted yet

when he knows full well

I have not.

1. 

This has been kind of a rough week for me

and I'm not quite sure why.

But I have discovered that when I'm not doing well,

it's really better if I keep my trap shut.

2.

Fireworks.

It's that time again.

Even though I have discovered that I like going with them,

I wanted to just send Tyler with the kids

(see #1) but he pretty much made me go along, too.

I'm glad.

I do enjoy the whole process!

Even if he wouldn't drive us all over creation 

to save two cents per item this year.

3.

I realized today that I haven't yet procured childcare

for a wedding Saturday evening.

(Lana?? I'll msg ya)

4.

There will be dancing at the wedding

but with my blasted back

and Tyler's bum foot

(he hurt it when we went to the river

and is hobbling worse now, than he was a week ago.)

I don't know that we'll get to do much dancing.

boo.

5.

Tyler took me dumpster diving last night.

He sure knows how to show a girl a good time!

Seriously - it was fun.

The boys were pretty excited about our loot.

6.

Tyler was reading to us from Philippians a few nights ago

and asked the kids, 

"What are some things we have confidence in?" 

and we talked a bit about that....

then he asked,

"What's something we don't have confidence in?"

Jeremiah thought a minute

and replied, "Our toilet."

Yeah, I bet that's one all the kids are saying...

7.

Tony took the boys to see Cars tonight;

it's only the second time Jeremiah and Josiah 

have been to the theater.

They went to Goody's afterwards

(which is apparently totally awesome, as was the movie)

and everyone got whatever they wanted.

Pretty good 'brother time', I think!

Well, that ought to keep me out of trouble

with Tyler and Uncle Guy

for a few days at least... ;-)
