I have visions of witty/interesting blogging going on daily, but alas, reality hits.
Instead I type out what comes out of my mind (you poor souls, and I refuse to edit).
My list of goings-on at the Marks's home this past week:
1-Zachery turned 5 and we celebrated. When I say "we", I mean dad and mom celebrate making it too, whew. ;) No, really we celebrate the sweet boy who we're blessed with.
2-Over-scheduled weekend! Sunday night we were exhausted. During the Christmas devotional, someone talked about simplifying things. There are so many wonderful things you can do (make, send, bake, shop, decorate...) and I know I get overwhelmed by what I should be doing and feel guilty for what I don't do.
3-We went to the wonderful Nativity Festival in Perrysburg. The nativities were beautiful and I liked seeing the variety. The kids room was awesome. Unfortunately, Avery had just eaten and as she was bending over, she coughed and out it all came. There were many horrifyied looks as I glanced up. I knew that she wasn't done emptying her stomach and so moving her would only leave a nice trail, so...I tried to "catch" it in my hands. It only splattered on myself. Leisy kindly wiped some off my face as I left the room. ugh. Just one of those things that happens sometimes, at the zoo, at the park, or at the GAP. :) It's kind of funny, now. *I have to shout out a big THANK YOU to those 3 individuals who helped clean up our mess. When I got back from the restroom, they had pulled out the industrial magic powder stuff and vacuumed up all our shenanigans. They wouldn't let us help. (perhaps we'd done enough. :)
Thanks to all of you who worked so hard to put that together! Loved it.
4-Avery slept from 6:20 p.m. til 7:45 a.m. last night! I assure you that has never happened before and I loved it.
5-Zach got a 24 hour stomach bug and that same night #4, he woke up 5 times. Thankfully he is all better and asked for a lot of food today, which I gladly gave.
6-My mom and Eric's grandma both had birthdays Wednesday. Great ladies with hearts of gold.
7-Flat tire.
8-(I need to end on a positive note) Christmas is 2 weeks away! Fa la la la la, la la la la. Wish everyone you see a "Merry Christmas". The best way to get in the spirit of Christmas is to help someone else out. "Have I done any good in the world today, have I helped anyone in need? Have I cheered up the sad, or made someone feel glad, if not I have failed indeed..." It's a good song.

that post made me laugh- a lot, renae! thanks. I was glad to help wipe the throw up off your face- that's what friends are for, right? did you finish your letters to the missionaries yet? :)
Isn't it awesome that your daughter has left a DNA trail all over? One day you'll laugh and laugh about vomit- I speak frome experience, sometimes we giggle telling the kids all the awesome places they ralphed before they learned to identify when it's going to hit. I love how embarrassed we used tp get and try to "hide" it either in our hands or on sweatshirts- or in purses. Sorry about the flat tire. Your blog is a treasure!
Leisy, ha, I finished one last night at the church. I would have written to all of them at home and brought them back on Sunday, but NO, thanks to you.
Kareena, yes, I will rock back and forth and laugh, laugh, laugh. I'm going out this week to get puke buckets to place by her bed and downstairs. Laundry can be a bear.
You are so funny, Renae!! :)
