ten on tuesday 4/27

1. You'll never guess when the last episode of LOST is showing. That's right, May 23rd. With last year being the only exception, May 23rd has proven to be a significant day for us every year for the past 4 years, so I was totally not-surprised (and a little weirded out) to learn the date of the series finale. I'll show photo-proof of these cosmic-happenings later.

2. Until a few years ago, I thought my mom had invented the idea of putting leftover frosting in between graham crackers. I guess everybody's mom did that.

3. I can't imagine life without Craigslist and Ebay.

4. Kyle is astounding us with his latest articulation (I love alliteration). This past week he began saying "da-da-da" like crazy.

5. It causes me physical pain to see my boys grow up and transition. Now, Kyle - at about 28 lbs - is way too big for his carrier and I have to move him up to a different car seat. The thought of putting away the baby carrier is causing me much emotional distress.

6. While Landon was gone, I was doing really well with watching what I ate. Now I'm doing really well with exercising (especially weight training) and the eating isn't what it should be. Why am I not able to pull the two together? Geez.

7. I can't wait for Mother's Day (for obvious reasons), but mainly to share my new favorite poem about motherhood. I need to figure out a way to have it in our home.

8. On Wednesdays, we go to speech therapy at the hospital and eat at a little cafeteria there beforehand. One of the gals there is so sweet to Grant and Kyle - she fawns over them and gives them little treats. Plus she gives me the hospital staff discount when I go to pay for our food! What a sweetheart.

9. I had a hard time with this week's Ten on Tuesday for some reason.

10. I don't post enough about my faith - so let me just reiterate how grateful I am for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. I can't even possibly imagine my life without this strong spiritual foundation.
