Apparently, I need to be more specific when doling out consequences. Lex got in trouble for eating snack bar too many times during the week. His punishment was the loss of snack bar for the next month, April. He came home from school the next day and told me he bought milk and snack bar. As I said, "what?!" he came back with, "You told me I lost it for April, it's still March." Touche, my child, touche.
On a side note, Nate's word of the day is "pafetic." As in, "you are so pafetic, Dad." Said with an eye roll. :)

And just like that...high school registration
Crazy to think when I first met Bailey, it was 11 years ago. 11?! Where in the world has the last 11 years gone? I remember getting her ready for her first day of kindergarten. She was so excited and all smiles on the way to school. She doesn't get quite so excited on the way to school anymore, but deep down she still loves it. I just can't believe it's been 11 years and it's almost time for high school. It just felt surreal sitting at the table listening to her and Erik talk about schedules and electives. Wow, still in a bit of an emotional shock at this point...

I must be better about writing about these crazy kids!
Oh, yes, I must be better at documenting our lives! I don't even know where to begin at this point. Well, let's start with the most recent and work backwards-shall we?
The other night at dinner, as we were eating the coveted bacon, Lex informed me of his top five favorite foods; 1. chocolate 2. ice cream 3. candy 4. chocolate tacos and 5. bacon. Let's hope, with favorite foods such as this, that diabetes passes over him and he has a wonderful metabolism.
We've had a rough, rough, rough (did I say rough?) winter this year. We had very few days over the past few months where it even got remotely close to 20 degrees, let alone near 32! So, on the days that it did reach above 20, we hit the slopes. Okay, not the real slopes, but the pool hill sled riding. What an absolute blast we have had!
Hmm, Dr. Seuss' birthday. I am not creative in the slightest but this is one time of the year that we have green eggs and ham. Yep, seriously green eggs! We also had lady fingers and strawberry kabobs. Yum!
Bailey's inner-sarcasm has been coming out. This is both good and bad. I mentioned that I hard ordered a new dishwasher and the little stinker clapped her hands together and said, "Oh, I am getting a new sister!?" Um, hm,,, funny, funny girl.
On that note, Mr. Nate is always sarcastic and witty! This boy better start lifting weights or start track!
The difference in these three kids, and how they get ready, completely cracks me up. Bailey needs a good hour to two before she is able to leave the house. Lex, well, he could care less if his clothes match in the slightest. I do believe Erik said the other day, "I'm just happy if he has pants on!" And Nate, well, he's the upcoming pastor. He wears a button down shirt (aka handsome shirts) and a tie every single day. I just love the differences!!
