I can't believe that I found you, fate did a number on me. If you end up with my arms around you, it's meant to be. Well, maybe my crazy is showing, but baby I'm hooked on your touch. But wherever my life is going, there ain't no rush. 'Cause wherever you're goin', I'd like to go too, if you don't have anything better to do. I'd love to spend some more time together, so what are you doin' between now and forever? I'll take the blue with the gray days, I just pray the road will be long, 'cause if I'm beside you there's no way I can go wrong. - Bryan White

New Journal




A couple of weeks ago I read on Lindsey's blog that she wanted this cool one-line-a-day journal, so being the fantastic friend that I am, I got it for her. While I was checking it out on Amazon, I found this Mom one and had to get it. It's been so fun to write something about the kids everyday. So far it's mostly funny things Clayton says... here's my first week of entries:

July 1st - Today as Cristin was buckling Clay in the car she said, "All aboard!" And Clayton informed her, "This is NOT a train."

July 2nd - Took Wesley for some shots today. Clayton stood next to him, stroking his arm saying, "I know brother, I know." "Wesley was a very brave boy." he told me as I was putting them in the car afterwards.

July 3rd - Today Clayton brought me a "gift" from the farm. A stick with two 'flowers' (leaves) on it.

July 4th - While sharing a pint of Ben and Jerry's, Clay proclaimed: "Ice cream is good for boys and mommies!"

July 5th - Today Jer and I took the boys to Lewiston for the parade. They love catching candy!!

July 6th - While I was changing Wesley's diaper, Clayton came over and proclaimed, "That's stinky peanut butter!"

July 7th - Today in Sam's Club Clay saw a man in a cowboy hat and exclaimed to me, "Look at that cowboy, Mom!"

July 8th - Today Wes woke up with his leg stuck in the side of the crib. Clay waited with him until I came and helped him wiggle loose.

Okay so that is SUCH a good idea. Not too overwhelming and you are remembering little moments that might otherwise be forgotten. I am totally on board with this. Your kids are hilarious.

What a great idea. I'll have to get one of thosel.. It's amazing how quickly we forget if we don't write stuff down.

I've been wanting to write everyday about the funny things the kids do, but I forget. Maybe this journal will be the inspiration I need!
GREAT IDEA!
