It is 7:30 a.m. and Holly and I just finished our irregation. She came to help me because Ben is at Fathers and Sons with Carter, Nolan, and her son Toby. I can't use the stupid irregation tool for anything so I needed help! Anyway it is so early and my girls are still asleep so I think I'll try Cedar's tag....

I've been waiting for you to post this. I am also jealous of your ability to tan along with your cavity free teeth and your steady painting hand. I could use that around here. I always have to tape everything. It's a time killer. And yes, we do need to scrapbook again.
Hi Mindy! Long time no see! Congrats on baby #5! I'm so jealous. Anytime your in town you're welcome to pull my weeds. It's fun to see how your family is doing. Hope to see you soon.
I totally forgot about Charlie! Seriously, who has a pet rock? Even more weird, who has a pet rock that they share custody of with their best friend? We did some strange stuff but funny stuff. Remember the burnt pumpkin muffins. I am laughing as I type.
Oh and I also LOVE to pull weeds. It's stress relieving. You can take everything out on the weeds and I love that it's something where you can instantly see the result of your work.
I loved reading that! I am so proud that you did it!! I will love to pull weeds when I get myself one of those cool tools you have.
hey mj, sorry we missed you, how are you feeling? the wedding was beautiful
Mindy--I learned a lot about you--since I think I've only met you in person once! We have a few quirky things in common--like I hate cooking and making phone calls, I make lists and even add things I've already done and cross them off, I like to organize things and get frustrated that they don't stay that way (also thanks to my kids), and I hate nail polish on my fingernails but my toe nails are always painted! I WISH I could tan easily and was filling free and hadn't had braces--and could paint without taping.
Hate cooking??? Whatever, you use to cook up a storm! I still have some of your recipes...remember I was the one who didn't bring any recipes to the table, LOL! That was fun to read!
I feel so much better knowing that someone else watched re-runs of the O.C. on the soap channel.I have always been a little shy about admitting it.Congratulations on the upcoming additon to the family.
Hey Mindy,
Deedra, Vandee's sister. Just bored doing some blogging, when I should be cleaning. Hope all is going well for you. Life sounds crazy for you. Congrats on the pregnancy.
