Tuesday Ten

1. The perfect overcast day for fun in the mud! Our backyard has proved itself to hold water above ground rather than under. Gannon and Gavin had their fill of splashing and making quite the mess of each other. All was well until Gannon took a fall and demanded new pants! Which, naturally, led to snacks once we were inside. I swear this kid is going to eat me out of house and home.

2. No nap today. Gannon decided that bouncing and singing would suffice. Let's just say by 8:00 PM tonight, he was feeling the repercussions. "Let's not and say we do" is not going to be a quote he lives by anymore.

3. Had a great 5 mile run with the amazing Sarah yesterday. My Libster is out for week or so due to her knee injury. We have our fingers crossed that she'll be back on the road again in a week or two. Had to skip out on the 3 mile run today, as I had one of my dizzy spells that just puts me out for the day. Glad I was able to keep Sarah's babes, while she enjoyed a quiet run alone. Get it girl!

4. If ever we are eating at the kitchen table, Gannon will throw his hand up (as in, "talk to the hand, cause the face don't care") with eyes closed and simply say, "don't look at me!...no, no..don't look at me!" It is hilarious and I could not for the life of me figure out where this came from! Until tonight! Kyle informed me that it is from "Open Season" when the deer realizes he has only one horn, and ashamed, he asks that the bear doesn't look at him! OMG so funny! I have to get it on video.

5. Made my Grandma Ketty's Spanish rice with chicken tonight. Had the Fox and Bractenbach families here to taste test and I think it's safe to say that I will be making it again! Delish!! Who's family is next to join us?

6. Kyle has been aggressively listing goods on Craig's List and I couldn't be happier! Move this shizzle out of here! Anyone in the market to buy a dirt bike, truck, truck parts or a desk?? By all means, we've got what you need! Ha!

7. Sad that St. Patrick's Day will not be celebrated at the Reins' humble abode tomorrow night. We're having to post-pone the corned beef dinner that I look forward to every year, due to an overnight trip to NJ that Kyle will be making. No worries though, the cooking will commence for indulging on Friday night! Don't forget to wear your green tomorrow!

8. Wondering how it is so easy for Mari to come up with ten things to blog about on Tuesdays. Good grief. What's the secret girlfriend?

9. Kyle came home with a beautiful basket of flowers for me tonight. The card read, "Thank you for everything that you do, I love you." As I leaned in for a smooch, he says to me, "They're not because I did anything wrong babe." Good to know. It made my night.

10. Couldn't be more thankful for a dishwasher. It's the little things. ;)
