this week we...

celebrated a certain 10 year old boy's birthday...
played monopoly, life, catan, scrabble, and cards...
watched mission impossible, national treasure, and narnia...
napped...
taught the momma how to play boom blox on the wii...
played do over no less than 150 times....
practiced guitars...
ate cake for breakfast....
read...
did laundry...
broke up fights...
and
wrestling matches...
listened to a ton of classic rock (the only station we could get)...
learned that Jared now "kinda" likes pink floyd (another brick in the wall)...
and
that john mellencamp's jack & diane will make Jack blush....
listened to the news on the radio...
went to bed early...
did more laundry...
reset the clocks...
multiple times...
with each little power outage...
listened to Colin scraping the car windows in the morning before work (from bed)...
watched everything we had dvr'd...
slept in...
listened to Coley stress about the idea of not having cable by Superbowl sunday....
took photos...
did more laudry...how in the world do we have so much laundry?!?
laughed...
colored...
listened to Jack cough...poor Jack...
played piano...
and
put off doing homework...
do you remember when you were so little your hands couldn't hold all the cards?

the boys didn't miss the cable quite as much as they missed being outside.
boys need to run around outside. trust me.
