weird, but true - part I

olivia has a favorite book at school -- weird, but true

she loves to tell us funny facts that she's learned from this book

like did you know that gorillas burp when they are happy?

weird, but true

so, i need to share a weird, but true fact about our life.

so here goes...

our kids are not early risers
well except on those rare occasions when their parents
really want to sleep in.

anyways,
getting them up for school in the morning
is not high on my list of favorite things to do.
crabby & grouchy are a few words that come to mind...


last week we finally bought the kids a basketball hoop.
garrett's been obsessed with basketball for a while now,
and we knew the other kids would love it too.

so one night tim put it together while they were asleep.

the next morning all i had to do was mention
that the hoop was set up.
and viola -
i had kids up and dressed in no time!

yes, these same kids that i have to drag out of bed
were shooting hoops before 8am.

check out the sky -
the sun wasn't even totally up yet!

weird, but true

stay tuned -
another weird, but true fact is coming up!
