1. It's Friday! Need I say more? When I was a stay at home mom, I really didn't care what day of the week it was, because they were mostly the same. But now that I work, I love Fridays! I miss my kids!
2. New bus drivers. Even though they make me a little nervous, I like it when they go the wrong way: I get to see parts of the Avenues that I don't normally get to see.
3. That I'm not a bus driver.
4. My sister Liz. She always comments. Sometimes I think my self-esteem is directly correlated with the number of comments I get. Kidding...kind of...
5. Horton Hears a Who. Cute movie. My favorite quote? "Gotta go - my brownies are burning!" My kids' favorite quote? "In my world there are nothing but ponies, who eat rainbows and poop butterflies..." Leave it to kids to like the potty jokes...
Happy Friday everyone!

Kiddies and Kitties
It's true: we have a set of twins now. Two cute twin sisters. We were only going to adopt one, but seriously, how can you break up a family? You can't. So we adopted both. And they are truly part of the family.
That's right: Kitties.
Many of you may remember that I HATE pets. Excuse me, HATED, pets. Because I could never hate a family member. I even let one lick me last night. And sometimes I actually pet them. They are kind of growing on me.
Stay tuned to see if this works. So far, so good...
My five for today:
1. A movie tonight. That's the only thing getting me through this day.
2. Kitties. They really ARE cute. I'm glad we have them.
3. Kiddies. I'm REALLY glad we have them! Not only do I love them, but they clean up the litter box. I don't, however, let them lick me.
4. Everybody's blogs. I love to read them.
5. Glad I'm not a director in this office: one is currently getting yelled at my a student's father. And I can hear him perfectly. Wait, now he's laughing. What a good director to diffuse such anger. Still glad I'm not a director.
That's right: Kitties.

It's Great to be Eight!
What a great Saturday we had! The kids were baptized, then we had family over for some food and fun. Thanks to everybody that came and supported us!
And how was getting baptized for the kids? In their own words:
"This is the best day of my life!" (My daughter)
"The water felt sooo good I didn't want to get out!" (My second son)
"I was so scared because I couldn't breathe under water. I felt like that girl on Pirates of the Carribean that fell off the cliff and couldn't breathe under the water!" (My first son)
Today's Five:
1. A husband who is worthy to hold the priesthood. He had a busy time baptizing and confirming three kids in one day! I love him and respect him.
2. Three beautiful kids who made the right choice.
3. Family and friends who supported us.
4. Perfect weather just in time for the party. Once everyone left the wind started blowing again.
5. Twins! You'll learn more about the newest members of our family later....
