The Start of Great Things?

As I sit here listening to Pat Monahan ~ Great Escape, really belting out the lyrics in my off key kind of way that the kids just seem to adore. I look around, and somehow through out the chaos in my voice, Odin has passed out, lulled to sleep by the lyrics, and Gunnar is standing beside me singing right along (ish).

I come to work everyday with another exciting story about what silly, weird, disgusting, cute, etc things that one or more of the clan has done the day before. My coworkers have started asking every Monday what exciting things they did, because the stories are always amusing. I find that these things have become very interesting to everyone else, however, they are literally just another ripple in the day to day life at my home...so I decided to share with everyone and possibly start something new. I am not afraid of how public this becomes...so share as you will.

This weekend was fairly uneventful, in mine own eyes.

Gunnar "cut" his own hair - result 6 bald spots speckled about his hair

I came home from work on Friday and had to look hard at Gunnar because something just didn't look right. I thought to myself...his hair looks blonder in spots...so I went to sniff thinking he put lemon juice in it, or heaven forbid sprayed himself with the counter cleaner...upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was scalp. I asked the question that I already knew the answer to...Why did you do that...cause it was fun. Now Mommy has to cut the rest of your hair...He protested...I look awesome, I like it...so now my son looks like his hair is falling out in clumps, but he's happy. I figure that it will even out eventually.

Odin wore two different sizes of the same shoe to the store

Sounds weirder that it actually is. We pass down shoes with the boys. I figure that if it can survive one of them, they must be sturdy and they go along until they meet a more timely demise. A few years ago, Gunnar fell in love with these red Chucks...so when he outgrew them, we had to get him another pair 1 size up. Now it's Odin's turn to wear them...so he brought me two at separate times...all I saw was red, right foot, left foot...let's go. One looked like a clown shoe compared to the other. But he only tripped once, and he didn't seem bothered by it.

Justin and I celebrated our 7th Wedding Anniversary.

Love you baby!

And finally, we survived our first weekend without TV!

So I leave you with the lyrics to Gigi's new favorite song so that you may be better equipped to decipher the howls in the wind!

Thought I could
But I just can't wait
Started planning for my great escape
Where I'd live and
What I'd leave behind.

Made a list of things I'd have to take
Things that make me feel like hell for heaven's sake
Who I'd love and
Who would toe the line.

And I need you
Everybody needs someone like you
If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I'd take
On my great escape.

Float through this time like a cosmonaut
Reminding me of all the things I haven't got
Like time and space
A smile on my face
And you

And I need you
Everybody needs someone like you
If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I'd take with me...

Maybe I find that my destination
Is somewhere I already know
You were as far as I ever had to go

And I need you
(thought I could, but I just can't wait)
Everybody needs someone like you
(started planning for my great escape)
If you need me too
(Who I'd love and)
You would be the only thing that I'd take with me
(what I'd leave behind,
what I'd leave behind)
I need you
Everybody needs someone like you
If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I'd take
On my great escape
On my great escape
