Life Lessons

Still no camera cord, so still no Christmas pictures. I'm thinking I'll just save them for next year :). So, to pick up the pieces and return to blogging I've made a list of the things we've already learned in 2009.

1. On the sixth day, in addition to man, God created Legos. God created Legos to make the seventh day of rest possible.

2. If you're a 2 year old being a "bad-guy" can be a good thing. How else could you illicit such a great reaction from your 5 year old brother and his friends by taking a single step towards them?

3. Disney Channel is miraculous. As our sheltered son, Matts, uttered in astonishment over Christmas, "Mom, the movies, they just keep coming"

4. Apparently Superman's newest outfit is his birthday suit. I've discovered this every night as I change Gray into his pj's and he escapes to jump off the bed shouting "Superman!" at the top of his lungs. (Repeated as many times as possible before the evil mommy can stop him)

5. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT give away your infant car seat and maternity clothes until you are 110% sure, definitely, unequivocally, done having children. Doing so will really upset your frugal husband when you have to rebuy them for the newest little Peterson due in July.

Congratulations! That's so exciting! This baby is so lucky to come to a home with such fun big brothers! I think it's a law that if you give something away you will automatically need it again, I've learned that lesson a time or two! Hope you are feeling good.

Chances are that your caar seat would have expired anyway. i'm glad that mine did, so I could buy a pink one. We will think pink for you.
