today i tried to eat an apple...

and this is what happened.

brrrr!

Yesterday I participated in the Polar Plunge!

Here are some of my teammates. We were Snap, Crackle, and Pop.

You know, the rice krispies??

Here we are before the plunge...

And here is video footage of the jump. It's pretty far away - Adam took it while safely inside the restaurant. We are the second group of Krispies to jump - you can see us running out of the water.

And finally, proof that Amy won her bet (Schmidty- this one's for you).
I was neck deep in the water (I couldn't really help it, I'm short) and Amy went completely under (as proven by her wet hair and picture documentation).

And, if anyone wants to come along next year, we already have a theme...

yucky

We had a yucky week around here. I got a text message from Adam yesterday saying that he and Andrew were sick and "could you get some 7up, i don't know what to do". His mom was home with Andrew (sick), Lucas (fine) and Adam (whiny). So, I had to come home to help with clean-up and caretaking. Andrew was hungry by suppertime and really enjoyed his ginger ale :). Lucas was fine, since someone was around to play with, and Adam is still not really sure how he feels.
Isn't it funny how resiliant kids are?? All they need is a snuggle, a good night's sleep and everything is better. Dad's on the other hand...
