New habits don't always come easy

Hmmmm, so it's been over a week since my first ever blog post, and here I finally am with another one... but I will not give up just because I'm slow off the blog, I mean block! As I emptied the dishwasher this morning, I couldn't stop thinking how thankful I am for a dishwasher that works so well. It wasn't long ago that this chore included picking baked-on food off of my dishes and wiping all sorts of spots off my glasses. Now it's just a straight shot from the dishwasher to the cabinets. Nice.

Stephanie and the kids are coming to visit this weekend. I'm really looking forward to seeing them! I'm especially looking forward to having someone to scrapbook with. I just can't seem to get as much accomplished when I'm scrappin' by myself. There are always so many distractions (like the computer...). In fact, I'm supposed to be working on finishing up journaling on pages now so that the pages can go live in an album instead of in my drawers. So perhaps a blog is a new way to procrastinate?! Hmmm, I'll have to be sure to use this on a page some day, then my journaling will already be done! Bought the new Memory Makers precision rotary trimmer today--it is amazing. Hands down the best paper trimmer I've ever had the pleasure of using. So all my Fiskars trimmers are now relegated to the kid craft area.

So Katy was walking past me today on the way upstairs and the following conversation took place:

Me: Come over here and give me a kiss!
Katy: Why?
M: Because I love you!
K: Why?
M: Because you are my Katy and I love every little bit of you!
K: Yeah. But not inside my butt, right?

That girl just cracks me up! Seriously, though, she gives the best, sweetest, smooshiest kisses I've ever gotten. What a sweet girl she can be, when she isn't being a stinker.

Ryan continues to push Kevin and I to our limits. The boy really has a way of pushing our buttons. I'm chalking it up to his "fall funk," a pattern which I finally noticed last year after several challenging autumns with him. It usually clears up some time soon after his birthday, and then he's such a sweet kid for the next 9 months. But if I have to hear that snarky little voice one more time today, I can not be held responsible for what I might do... Good thing he's been asleep for over an hour now!
