Not Me Monday - 16th Edition

A new year. A fresh slate. Makes you want to start off on the right foot doesn't it?

If it were only that easy! If only the laundry did itself, our house undecorated itself and marched the boxes down to the basement.

At least I have Not Me Monday's posts to read today. They make me smile and remind me that I'm not the only one with 5 loads of laundry to fold and put away. I'm not, am I?




I bet I am the only one who's husband used his Christmas money to buy these three books!

There weren't any other books to chose from in the entire bookstore. That has to be the explanation right?

This same man did not come home with Scary Movie.







His wife didn't almost ruin a perfectly good batch of chili by putting salt in instead of sugar. Four tablespoons of salt is not a big deal.

Speaking of food...
This is Sam eating broccoli for lunch the other day.
He has texture issues.
He's getting better though.
Would you believe he ate FOUR pieces of broccoli in one day?
That is not more broccoli than he's eaten in the past two and a half years.

I don't have to work with Julia very much on her eating habits.
She's a good eater.
What I do have to work on is how I convince her that sledding is fun.

"Your going sledding and your gonna like it!"
Those words would never leave my lips.
Nor would the these:

"We don’t eat food we find on the grocery store floor."

"Stop eating fruit - eat your cookie instead."

Since I obviously have a way with children, I've decided that later this month would be a good time to invite 30 children and their parents to our park for a sledding party.
Do you think I'm kidding? I'm not...really. For my 30th my inlaws hosted a birthday party for me with 19 children 3 and under. Hope you can make it on the 24th MckMama, Hilary, Morschens, McDonalds, Hansons, Landgrens, Fischers, Coopers, Chessers, Dilks', Lebens', and Shipleys!
