The Good, The Bad,...and the Ugly.

So I had a friend point out that lots of times, people only blog the great things that happen, or the highlights of their family, thus creating a standard of unrealistic perfection. I don't want to do that, so here are some of the "low lights" if you will of the last month or so.







First: Tim drove our minivan into the garage...not good. Okay, I will admit that we only have about 2 inches to spare on either side, but still...he cranked it good. Dented and ruined paint on two doors. Ya.

Second: Piper dropped a metal patio chair on her big toe. I didn't think it was that big of a deal until she cried ALL NIGHT, and the thing turned black. She probably broke the end of her toe, but there isn't a whole lot we could do, except carry her everywhere for a week. Then a week later her toenail came off...eewwww. It was gross. Josh really liked it though, and was carrying the toenail around for a few days, until it got "lost." Translation: I threw it away when he wasn't looking, because I think he might have started a really creepy collection with it.



Third: Josh was riding his long board down the hill in front of our house and he did a back flop onto the road...ouch. Luckily he had his helmet on, so we saved his noggin, but his back and butt, were black and blue. I think he was a little nervous, and a lot sore, but he got back out there yesterday and I saw him cruising down the hill again. I don't think my nerves can take it.

So those are the big things I can think of....I am sure there is a lot more I could say. I could tell you how Piper had a 45 minute raving psychopathic meltdown yesterday because she couldn't find her bouncy ball. Or how my kids have to be coerced mightily everyday into doing their chores, or how I fed the kids grilled cheese (bad mom), for dinner. But the list goes on and on...it just our life. It isn't perfect but I still wouldn't trade it for anything.
