Spaghetti in the Sink

I was standing at my kitchen sink thinking about my ancestors. About how they ate bread with bugs in it and meat so rancid that it had to be heavily spiced to be edible. (The middle ages weren't a real shinning moment in our culinary past.) So I'm thinking about all the crap people eat, and I'm asking myself, would it really be that bad if I fished the spaghetti that I was draining but accidentally dropped, out of the sink? The sink wasn't clean, but what would really happen if I still served it? Oh well.
P.S. After leaving the grocery store about 15 minutes later, I saw two teenage boys pushing a couple of carts of groceries out of the parking lot and into the adjoining neighborhood. I wondered what was the story there and if the store would get their carts back.

Catch-Up

I know, it's been way too long. And the funny thing is, when getting ready to write this, I noticed that there were three posts that I started to write and completely forgot about before finishing and posting them. Let hope that this one makes it out of the planning stage.

So, what have we been up to? Randy tried out a new hair do for Halloween. He really liked it and I didn't mind. Unfortunately his school has a dress code policy that doesn't allow stuff like that so he had to dye it back the next day. Richard and the bishop were happy
We really enjoyed Halloween.
Really enjoyed it.
Did some fun projects at school.
Nathan tried soccer for the first (and maybe last time).
As a side note, I think that it was a good experience for him and he had a fantastic coach, but he seems to feel like it just isn't for him. That was basically the same reaction that he had with the t-ball that he tried this past summer so I don't feel too bad. He is excited to try out archery this summer though.

We had Thanksgiving (sorry, no picture) and Christmas (sorry for the weird expression Tessie, but you still look beautiful).


Celebrated Joshua's birthday a little late,


and baby number 3's a little early.


Oh, and she is my excuse for being lazy about posting lately. Not that it has been a hard pregnancy, I'm just tired. I think that I will go to bed now. Good night.
