Who knew?

• Who knew that a Bisquick box was so much fun to pull off of the counter and dump on the kitchen floor? Apparently, Kyle knew this!
• Who knew that when I was spanking my 4 year old and was really upset at having to do it (if he just would have listened!!!!) that I would get told that he was glad it was me giving him the spanking because I am the soft spanker. Who would have known? I surely didn't know that but you can bet that I wasn't so soft that time!
• Who knew that my parents remind me of Goldilocks and the Three Bears every day when I drive by Berry Creek? I can sense the story playing out in my head - "This one is too small. This was is too large. This one is Just Right!" And I am SO glad that is right! Regrets will never be made.
• Who knew how much fun it would be to babysit Erryn's kiddos! All four of them really had fun together and they were even able to grow the magic dinosaurs from Grant's party together (pictures coming, E). We played in a band, played play dough, ordered a pizza and ate fruit, pretended we were rock stars on TV, and lots of other stuff. Who knew that Erryn and I would be having our kids play together at the same age she and I met back in preschool decades ago?!?
• Who knew that my hair is finally long enough to reach in to a ponytail now? It actually works a lot better in two little piggy tails (hey, if I don't have a daughter to dress up then why not myself?!?) for the time being but it's on its way to being long(er) again.
• Who knew that running the past two days would cause my hips to ache so much this morning? Am I really this old already? Kind of makes you wonder how the heck life will be at 40, 60 and 80!
• Who knew that parent drama could already be involved in 3 and 4 year old soccer programs?!? Puh-lease!
• Who knew that Jason and I would come to absolutely love gardening and planting so much that we randomly decided to pull up the shrubs at his office so we could re-do it to be prettier. It was fun yesterday, and we bought the boys a little shovel so they would at least be able to move dirt for us (otherwise known as sling dirt around in the air).
• Who knew that finding a church home for our family in Stillwater would take 1 1/2 years? We sure didn't think it would. There are such great things about so many, but each has a lot of stuff we don't like. We are perpetual visitors to a few churches and are sick of it. We each deeply like a church - of course they aren't the same ones. And then there are still two we would consider but don't really like. We have one more new one to try and then it's go-time. We have got to decide, knowing we're going to have to give and take to come to a decision. I think it's actually a pretty easy decision - Jason just doesn't agree!
• Who knew a couple's devotional book wedding present from 7 years ago would still get used twice a week at our house? We just love it and have been through it 3 times.
• Who knew that I would decide to pursue the volleyball involvement that I mentioned earlier by becoming a coach at the YMCA? I still am kind of surprised that I signed up but I kept thinking, and thinking, and thinking about it, so I bit the bullet and am doing it. Not sure the age of girls I will be assigned yet... more to come! My Saturday mornings until May are busy!
• Who knew that I would find any online networking site better than MySpace? I did. I know, you guys talked me in to it and I finally gave it. There is so much more activity on Facebook than MySpace but I will still say myspace is easier to navigate and a much prettier site. I'm amazed at the flocks of people who through a friend of a friend know I am on there after just five days.
• Who knew that at 8:02 am that I would have already been up for nearly 4 hours! NOT ME and I don't like it very much. Tuesdays are long days at our house for everyone.
