How is it February really?? It seemed like we had no winter. Which granted this Arizona girl was quite happy with the very limited amount of snow... but it just can't be time for calving already. But it is. You know how I know? I mean really know that it is calving? Because my 4 year old came in and said "Mooommmm.... I have something for you to eat" and proceded to throw a hairy calf ear notch at me. Which anyone who has ever had a 4 yo boy throw something at you, one knows the only thing to do is scream. Which means, next time he will do the same thing, hoping for the same responce. Sigh. (Does everyone here know what a calf ear notch is? We notch... ie.... take a chunk out of our calf ears for identification purposes.) (Full discloser= I just had to yell at my husband who is in the other room and ask why we do that anyway.) So, my children like to collect them. Cause who doesn't want a pocketfull of calf ears??
In other news... it was a busy weekend. We had my boys first wrestling tournament. Something we pretty much swore we would never do. There I was, on my knees on the mat yelling like a crazy person at my son to get up. Wow. And, to be more honest.... it was a whomping. And I don't mean the other guys. In my baby boys defense... it was their first tourney. And... my 7 year old made the 2 boys that wrestled him cry... so I consider that some sort of accomplishment. They looked so cute in their onesies. (Singlets.) Those wrestling parents are hard core. Whoa.
There has been much cooking lately. I had a school board meeting on Wednesday, then worked on Thurs... thus on Friday felt guilty that I was neglecting my family and thus cooked until I felt better. Friday night= Italian Nachos. Saturday= breakfast burritos, salami sandwiches, sausage and sourkraut. Sun= Pear and Almond torte for breakfast, BBQ Ribs, and tuna fish for supper (I was tired by then!) I do somewhat enjoy cooking... but the thing about it is... doesn't matter how much I cooked this weekend... tomorrow they will all be hungry again.
Allright... not too exciting. One more Crew quote. "Mom, are you still a little girl in your heart?" Yes, dear.... I am :) I could not love that boy more.
