Friday-- a great day for random.

It's Friday.  Thank goodness!  Something about Friday makes everything easier, laid back, less-stress.

So here's your dose of completely random for the weekend.

1.  Tater and Squdge both cut their first tooth on Monday.  The bottom right.
2.  We've gone through nearly two bottles of Children's Motrin this week.
3.  What I thought was a runny nose associated with teething is actually congestion that Danny and I also got.
4.  Tuesday the babies started vomitting and diarrhea.
5.  By Wednesday, everyone else joined in on the diarrhea.
6.  By Thursday, I had washed several loads of sheets and blankets.
7.  I've thrown away two pairs of little boy underwear this week.
8.  Tater puked in my hair and down my neck at 5 this morning resulting in my need for an early shower.
9.  BBTA stands for Big Brother Training Academy.  It's not a real academy.  It's just a fun way to announce pregnancy.
10.  To get a nice crust on homemade pizza, you have to cook it at 500° F for about 7 to 15 minutes.  Lower temps like 375° for longer do not a happy homemade pizza crust make. 
11.  Four dozen onesies even for twins is too many.
12.  Twelve days until our move!

Let's make it a baker's dozen, since I like to bake. 

13.  I offended my little girl the other day while talking to Danny about keeping her on a BRAT diet for a couple days.






That's all.  This is going to be a busy week.  Chances are you'll be seeing me lots.  ;)  Blogging is a great procrastination tool.

Sixteen days

until we move out of our mold-infested 1960's house into a brand-new home with off-white carpet.  Weee!

Even though the home we are moving into has 50% more square feet and a two car garage, most of the extra space is in the living room instead of the bedrooms. 

But that's all right.  I don't necessarily need extra space to sleep unless I'm rapidly expanding like I was this time last year. 

And I love to cook.  So I am thrilled my kitchen is sizeably bigger!

We feel like we're officially grown-ups doing it ourselves (instead of having the Air Force move us). 

It didn't count when we lived in Cedar City and moved everything we owned in a 6 ft. U-haul with room to spare.  We definitely were not grown up then.

But now we are.  We think. 

So, what to pack first?  What to toss?

Do I get rid of the turkey platter we only use once a year and that's only if we have company on Thanksgiving?

What about the onion soup bowls?  They are a single-use item.  They are ONLY used to make onion soup.  Nothing else can take their place.  Do I toss them out and say good-bye to ever having onion soup again?

Do we have a yard sale while still in the old home so we don't have to move it?  Or do we have one after settling in to the new home?

Perhaps I should make a major run to the thrift store.  Maybe I should brush up on Craigslist how-to and get rid of the big items like:

the entertainment center that's in the garage,
the changing table that's in the bathroom that's just used to hold cloth diapers and house the baby bath,
and the glider and ottoman that hold piles of laundry waiting to be folded?

How do I move the freezer that is chuck full of bread kits, prepared beans, cooked rice, an extra turkey, and random other OAMC meals?  Do I have to empty it before moving it?  Or can I move the whole thing full and just plug it right back in?

Spinning.  My head is spinning.
