Oops!

One Oops! for me: Lack of sleep has caused me to be super scatter-brained... today when I pulled Owen's sheets out of the washing machine I also found a raisin, half of a plastic Easter egg, and a pull-up (luckily unused). I've learned my lesson... no more laundry!

And one for my hubby: Colin cooked a great dinner last night of tri-tip. As we were eating Owen left the table to play in the living room. It's a good thing, because when I went in to tell him he had to come finish his meal I noticed our grill was on fire! Huge flames a foot from our house. Colin didn't believe me. He said that he must have just left the grill on and I should just turn it off. He finally came out to see the lid on fire and melting. We were lucky we saw it when we did and only needed a pitcher of water to put it out. I think he wins the Oops! award for the week.

Sleep deprivation is a MONSTER! Ugh, getting sleep really does make all the difference. But the scatter-brained antics that ensue due to lack of sleep are truly fun stories sometimes. I took our apple corer to a peach one day, thinking it was such a great idea and completely forgetting they have pits... Ryan just stared at me, perplexed and furrowed his brow like, "my wife really is losing it, isn't she?" Yup.

I think almost burning down the neighborhood trumps the Easter egg and pull-up cleansing. The Oops! award, hands down, goes to Colin! :0)

New grill for Mother's Day?

Better explain to Sutton that he needs to start sleeping through the night if he wants clean sheets and a roof over his head!

Happy Easter! I wanted to let you know that I stole an idea from your blog. I love the music, so I figured it out for ours. Very nice. :) Hope you don't mind! And thank you!
