chicky noodle soup, gathering lettuce, and remember...

Wednesday, March 30, 2011.
 Not feeling too hot today. So, I made chicken noodle soup for the first time in my 36 years. I used the rotisserie chicken I bought at Costco the day before and it turned out divine!!!
 Lity's chair creation:)
 Levi and Abey took the scissors they were cutting paper with and decided to go out and "cut" lettuce for me!
 Levi in action.
 Ahhhhhhh...
 I asked the boys to smile for a picture and Levi quickly put a piece of lettuce in his mouth:) He's such a jokester!
 Levi waited for days for us to find him a bolt to finally HITCH this wagon and the trailer together. The old bolt had disappeared long ago. We kept explaining that he had been super PATIENT and he was so pleased with himself that he was excited to tell g'ma batt how he had waited and waited and was so patient...and eventually told a few more folks too.
Ok. How embarrassing is this?!? I cut, framed, and hung this dry erase board on our front door. I used to just use sticky notes to remind me to bring things along when traveling, but they would all just fall down. Anyway, it had been working out so much better, but tonight, after it had been up for like two weeks, Joshua pointed out to me that it is spelled totally wrong!!! Ahhh...I even thought when I was adding the vinyl letters that something about it just didn't look right. LOL.
