Random Thoughts

Not much exciting going on here lately...just busy running! But I do have several random thoughts to share...

1. We have been advised to turn our king bed 1/4 turn. Both my Aunt Glenna and friend Mindy have offered this solution for our trouble sleeping and sore backs. We rotated it last night...we'll see if there are any results.

2. McKenna devours books! I can't believe how fast she reads. It is truly amazing. I worried if she was comprehending the text, so I ask her questions after she completes each book. She answers and gives detail. She has read 5 books in less then 3 days. They are all books from the Magic Tree House series. I must say, I love, love, love the fact that she loves to read. I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree!

3. On Sunday evening, as we were tucking the girls in at bed, Caris was playing with one of her phones. I asked her who she was talking to...she replied, "No one." I said, "then what are doing?" She looked at me as she continued to push the buttons and said, "I'm sending a text to Logan." I turned around and started laughing...she was so serious about it! She is hilarious! I guess it's just a sign of the times.

4. Chris and I are having date night tonight! We are going to dinner and a movie. So a big thanks to Gram and Grampy for allowing us a meal with no kid's menus or trips to the bathroom!

Have a great day!!
