Kids, Brock, Snow and Stuff.......................

MOLLY, BROCK, AND MIKE, MY FAVORITE FAMILY.

Sunday...March 16.2008

The day started out nice. Went to church, greeted people, worked in the nursery with the one year olds, then went home. Took care of Izzy and then drove to the auction. One of the ladies that helps at the auction, wanted a fryer chicken. I brought her one. She was happy. I didn't buy anything. When I left for home it was snowing. Or sleeting. I just can't believe how much snow Colorado as a whole, has gotten this winter. The mountains and ski areas have feet and feet of snow. Here we have ground cover and the weather on TV keeps saying tomorrow will be bad getting around. Yuck. Anyone who knows me , knows I hate driving in the snow. Bob is in Texas, where the weather is 70 and 80's. Poor Bob. Ha Ha.

I got to talk to Brock and Molly on the phone last night. Molly and Brock were getting ready to dye Easter eggs. Molly was talking to me and then starts asking Brock, "What do you have in your mouth? " He opens his mouth and in it is a tablet for dying the Easter eggs...BLUE. Molly said his whole mouth was blue. To me, it was funny picturing it all. That little boy makes me smile. He gets on the phone and tells me he wants me to come over now. OH I wish I could. He tells me, he and mommy and daddy just saw the new Dr. Seuss movie and it was "Cool." I wish I could blink and be there instead of an 18 hour train ride, or a 20 hour car ride, or even a two hour 15 minute plane ride. I just miss him. God knows why I love Brock so big. He is a little extension of me. I love him so much. I do not miss Illinois, I miss my family. I would hate to leave Colorado. I feel it is home. But not where my family is. :(

I have to share some funny things the kiddos at work have been saying. Little E said that when she went to her dad's house, they ate "swamwhiches" . It was so cute. Then I have a Batman t-shirt and the face of Batman comes right at boob level. Well, the little boys just have to come up to me and poke at Batman's head. And then they ask, "Who is that?" Poking at Robin. I say "Batman's friend Robin." They absolutely love this shirt. Miss Gail is so cool. Then a little girl on the bus says to me, as she hands me a cut out heart, "I made your heart beautiful!" So simple, so wonderful. Another little boy tells me he loves me more than 193 50. Wow that is a lot!!! 193 50. And that is why I love these kids. One of my kids got a baby pig as a pet. His mom wanted a little pink pig and he tells me when he picks it up it squeals. I asked the mom, "You do realize this cute, little, baby pig will reach over 200 pounds?" She says "Yeah". They didn't want a bunny? Oh well. They also have two Italian Greyhounds. Last Weds and Thursday, I played football with about 7 of the 4 and 5 year old boys. So now they come up to me and ask me to play more football. I get to throw the ball and they "TRY" to catch it. My mom taught me how to throw a football. I haven't knocked out any kids, yet. It is so fun. Yes I do get excercise. UGH. Now if I could only teach them to rub my feet. Haha. Well, I better get goin. I have this week to work and then we have a whole week OFF. Spring Break Rocks. Anyone want to send me to IL?

Bob is doing well in Texas, He starts the full time work tomorrow. He is a little sick. Coughing and head cold stuff. He got to go to church today with some friends. He liked it. I miss him. I got 25 eggs today. You should see our fridge. EGGVILLE!!! There is about 9 dozen right now. Bob's brother Randy, came over the other day and gave us 30 egg cartons!! It was great and we were out. Thanks Randy!! And Happy Birthday Ray. Another brother of Bob.

So have a great week and a nice ST. Patrick's Day...Peace
