Gross Boys

Since today was a snow day I decided to catch up on laundry.  I washed 2 huge loads of the boys' laundry.  It was about a week's worth.  When I was folding it and laying it on piles for them to put away, I noticed that they each only had 1 pair of underwear for the whole week.  I pointed this out to them when they were putting the clothes away.  I told them they have to put on clean underwear everyday and they both replied something like "Oh, I forgot".
I was telling Levi about this at dinner and he told them they were gross and need to put on clean clothes everyday.  Mason said "Maybe we do put on clean underwear and you guys just hide them so you can call us gross".  (We'll deal with the sassing later.)

What makes this even more gross is that I know they had at least 2 showers last week, which means they didn't even put on clean underwear after a shower.  This and the previous "forgetting to use shampoo when washing their hair" really makes me wonder how they will survive in life without me.

Grandkids?

Lately my children have been talking a lot about how many kids they want to have, what they will name them, etc.  So far we have been told we will have 11 grandkids!  Here's the break down the kids have told us.

Norah wants 5 kids:  3 girls and 2 boys.  They will be named Norah, Adolyn, Claire, Baber, and 1 other boy name.

Mason wants 3 kids:  2 boys and 1 girl.  He wants his boys to be named Thomas (after Edison) and Nikola (after Tesla).  Right now the girl name would be Marie, but he's still searching for a better woman inventor name.

Wesley wants 3 boys.  When I asked what he wanted to name them he replied "Whatever my wife decides".  I think we know which kid is the smartest.  :)

2013

One of the items on my "Bucket List" for 2013, was to update our family blog more often.  I don't really think anyone reads it, but I think it's a great place for me to remember things that happen to our family and cute things the kids say/do.
