NEWSFLASH: Tyler controls the weather!!!

Ty came in this morning and informed me that we were getting so much snow my head was going to blow off. Sure enough-it is coming down pretty hard. Then he tells me that a girl in his class told him if he jumped on his bed 4 times and then fell asleep it would snow. So being as trusting as he is (clearly something we need to work on) he tried it and it worked. He now believes that he made it snow. What a goof!

ALL BY MYSELF

I'm singing that song in my head, but not sad and sappy. Happy and thankful. Today I had a doctors appt. and so I left the boys w/ my sister. She so kindly offered to let me run some errands afterwards and she'd keep the boys until about 2. So I bought a bunch of stuff we needed for the baby and then I-Cydney Barno- went out to lunch all by myself. Alone. Nobody else but me. I went to Panera and got a soup and sandwich and listened to my ipod. Alone-did I mention that? It was just really nice and relaxing and I'm so happy for these opportunities-as rare as they are. So thanks again Jenn. I'm set for another 5 years-which is probably when I'll do that again!

It made me laugh

I just heard on the radio that whistling is a lost art. The dj was saying that nobody under the age of 50 whistles anymore and I started thinking about it and it's totally true. I never hear anybody whistling a tune (or whistling at me :( )My mom is quite the talented whistler and she always whistles while she's cooking, cleaning, weeding, etc. - maybe I don't whistle b/c I know I can't measure up to my mom's mad skills (plus I think I just really learned how to whistle in the last 5 years).

Any thoughts as to why nobody whistles anymore? Perhaps we're all too "plugged in" w/ ipods and tv? does it hurt our mouths?
