~There are boys in our house-and Spiderman shoes and 200 papers in various blues. There's Bob (he's a builder) and Thomas the Train, a fireman coat to wear in the rain. They have cars on their shirts and frogs on their hats. There's a glove and a ball and a red plastic bat. There's dirt on a face and a smudge on a nose; grass stains on knees and sand between toes. There's bath time at night with bodies to scrub, and when we're all done there is dirt in the tub! There's band aids and bruises and curious bumps, smiles, laughter and sometimes there's grumps. There are odors most icky; there's boogers so green. There's more yucky things than I'll ever get clean. Piles of laundry; stories at night; there's bedtime and bathtime and dinnertime fights. There's cars and trains and there's books about trucks. There's Scoop, Lofty, Dizzy, and Travis, and Muck. Sometimes there are bugs, and sometimes there are frogs; sometimes there are lions, or dinos, or dogs. There's running and climbing and jumping and falling. Laughing and crying and hugging and brawling. Rolling and losing and finding and creeping. Whining and stealing and sometimes there's sleeping. There's tantrums and time outs and extra loud noise - There's love in our house shaped like two little boys.-Erin Jo Kilmer~

B-o-r-i-n-g

I haven't written because not much has been going on.

Last week we received our first "significant" snow of the season. UMass didn't close at all even though almost all other colleges closed in the area. I drove Josh's 4-wheel drive, so all was good. I also received a raise from work (almost $1/hr) because I've been there nine years. Every year up to 15 years we get a step raise. We also get a cost of living raise if the union/state agree on a contract. This is not always done.

Friday we had our family movie night and watched Puss N Boots. The boys LOVED it. It's a cute movie and actually has really funny moments.

Saturday-Sunday, Tonya and Tammy slept over with the girls. We had a birthday party for them. It was fun, but tiring. It reminds me why Josh and I are 100% fine with our decision not to have anymore children. My nieces are great little girls, but we are D-O-N-E with having more children.

My friend Carrie came over on Sunday and did our hair. I love my highlights! Thanks Carrie.

Logan and Cameron both met with the speech pathologist at school yesterday. Cameron for his weekly therapy, Logan for more testing. We have parent-teacher conferences this week for both boys.

Last night I watched The Help because my twin sister urged me to. It didn't interest me, so I haven't rented it. Well, let me tell you, I was wrong. This is a great movie. I even cried at the end. I love how the woman tells the little girl, "repeat after me, I am kind, I am strong, I am important." Really powerful words. Really powerful movie. If you haven't seen it yet, rent it!
Tomorrow it is suppose to be in the 50's and reach 60 by week's end. SO exciting!

See, not much going on in the Johnson household as of late.
