Blessed, I am

Christmas has come and gone. The tree is down and most of the decorations are packed

away. Now, if I could just get the girls to organize their bedrooms! We had a wonderful Christmas filled with family and love. We spent Christmas eve with William's family. Ashley, William's daughter, came too! It was nice. We enjoyed watching my little niece, Camdyn, open her presents. I finally made a successful prime rib dinner. Don't ask how I could mess it up. The kids all opened gifts and we had a wonderful time. My brother Robert came with his son Gavin to spend the night and enjoy Christmas morning with us. It is so much fun to have little kids around on Christmas. The kids and grown-ups all enjoyed the gifts. We had my family up on Christmas day. It was a ton of fun and my shoulders are still sore from playing our new Wii game. Yesterday, my brother Ken and his family arrived from Denver to visit for a few days. We all gathered at Sara's home and had a fun visit. We are going back down this evening. Tomorrow everyone is coming back to my home for dinner and the Bronco game. We have really had a wonderful Christmas. The girls are really starting to understand the real meaning. I am very proud of them. They are beginning to understand the world is so much bigger than them and they have an important role in being kind and giving. In our local newspaper was an article about an older, sick woman who was nearly being evicted from her hotel room and would have no where to stay after Christmas eve. Here is the link-

The girls were looking over my shoulder and read the story. As they read about her ailments, and her autism was mentioned, they both got very upset. They are very protective of people with Austim. My nephew, Joshua, who is Camille's age, has autism and they get very upset when someone is unkind to him. The girls brought me the phone and asked if I would call the motel and see if anyone had helped her yet. I called and asked the question and when they heard me say, "no one has", they ran to get my purse. They asked if I would take them by the bank so they could get some money and pay for her to stay for a while. Camille said she was sure she had enough money to pay for a year. (not quite, but I didn't tell her that!) I looked at them and told them they needed to save for college. They were so sad. I then told them that I would pay for them. They were so excited. We quickly drove to the small and dirty little motel 6 where the woman made her home. Camille and Megan walked ahead of me. When we got to the front desk, Camille said we were here to pay for a week for the lady in the paper. It was a really sweet moment. The girls never thought about not doing something. I was grateful for that moment to be able to see my girls, not as fighting and sometimes impatient girls, but as kind and compassionate spirits. They were both very quiet on the drive home. As we pulled into our driveway, I looked at Camille who was very deep in thought. I asked her what she was thinking about. She just looked at our home and told me how grateful she was that she got to live in a warm home. When I asked them why they felt they needed to do something this time, for this woman, when we read so many sad stories, they replied that they were doing what Grandma Johnson would do if she had read the article. I am a lucky, lucky mom.

Tonight, the girls and I decorated our Christmas Tree. William has been gone so much with work and then tithing settlement today, the girls took charge. We had a fun time hanging our generic ornaments, but it was the best when the girls hung their own ornaments. Troy's parents have given each of the kids an ornament each year since birth and I have done so also. We really enjoyed our walk down memory lane tonight! We saved Zac's ornaments for him to place on the tree himself. I am in hopes William can bring him by for a few minutes tonight. Usually Christmas is my favorite time of year. Our home is usually lit up like the Christmas Vacation (funny movie) house. But this year, it just seems more work than necessary. I haven't even decked out the banisters. I haven't even gotten around to getting my wreath on the front door. Ugh...well I can probably manage that soon enough. We really enjoyed the First Presidency's Christmas Devotional this evening. What a wonderful group of men! I loved the music tonight, too. Here are the pictures of the girls hanging on the ornaments that Grandma and Grandpa sent this year. Flip-flops, so cute. They must have been sent from far away and warm! The ornaments made me want a vacation desperately! I need sun and a beach soon!

Twilight Movie

I am officially the coolest mom, according to Megan and her friends in middle school. Not that I need to explain why, but I will. Most of our friends know that my girls and I are fans of the Twilight Series. The movie, based on the book, will be in theaters starting this Friday. I make a joke many months ago about renting out a theater for a midnight showing when it opened. It was originally scheduled to open in December, on a day that happened to be non-school day. Well, they moved the date of release up, and now if falls on a school day. I won't let the girls to the midnight show on a school night. Plus, it is totally sold out. So, true to my word, I rented out a theater, Friday night at 11:30! The girls are so excited! It is actually not very expensive if you can get 35 people or so. If they each pay $6, I break even. Anybody over that, then the theater just charges me per head. Well, word has spread that I have a theater for a "private showing". My phone rings many times a day asking if I still have room. I now have over 75 people coming! Many of them are adults. The ages of those coming are anywhere from 9yr olds to 50yrs+. The theater holds about 200 people, but I just wanted a "small group". I don't want anyone screaming when Edward comes on the screen. I think I will close the party now, it's full enough! It is going to be so much fun. The girls are laughing at all of the kids from school that want to come meet me. I have told the girls that no one is coming that I do not know. I am not dealing with a bunch of random kids at midnight! It's amazing how many "new" friends they have made! I have quite a few friends from church who are bringing their husbands. William is glad that he won't be the only guy there. He wants to check out this "Edward" guy. Maybe I should warn him that the screaming may be similar to when we took the girls to a Hillary Duff concert a few years ago. Ha! He sat there with his ears plugged the whole time! I will just let him figure it out!

It's Over!!

Okay, now you can all do this with me... breathe! Soccer season is over!! YEAH! Megan's season finished a couple of weeks ago and Camille's season ended on Sunday. Meg's team did not participate in the President's Cup, but Camille's team did. We went to Portland to play the weekend of William's birthday, the 8th. We had a wonderful weekend. Of course, I was able to shop. The girls went to Abercrombie and Zac bought shoes for basketball. I didn't buy myself anything. It was weird, I just wasn't in the mood. The best part of the weekend was when I "gave" William his birthday present. We were in the car driving to breakfast, (so he thought), and I told him to head to the airport. He was so, so excited when he realized that his present was at the airport. I flew Ashley, his daughter, in to spend his birthday weekend with him. Because she lives in LA, we don't get to see her as much as we would like, and this was an excellent opportunity. The girls love spending time with her. But, of course, I didn't take any pictures. We will get some at Christmas. The tournament was hard for the team. This past weekend we played at home. We ended up in 2nd place in our bracket. Only the 1st place team advanced to play in Portland again this weekend for the championship. I was sad for Camille, but thrilled for it to be over. We finally have our weekends free for a couple of months! I wonder what William will fix first? Maybe he'll finish the window in the bathroom, that would be great!

Stay off the Roads

Well, it's official. Zachary is driving. So scary! He turned 15 on the 12th and that makes his old enough for a learners permit. He studied and William and his mom took him to take his test. Well, he failed. He was so sad, but I was secretly kinda happy. Not that I wanted him to be sad, just that I wouldn't have to let him drive me around town. In Oregon, if you fail a test, you can come and re-take it the next day. Well, Zac did and he passed. He was so excited! He is getting better. It is so strange to be in a car with him while he is driving. So, when you are on the roads in Grants Pass, beware!

Earlier this week, Camille let me straighten her hair for school. She is very particular about her curls, so this was a special treat for me. She has let me straighten it a couple of times for school. One time, she asked me. I think she was in 1st or 2nd grade and was being bothered by some one at school. She asked me if I would straighten it so she could go to school in disguise! I usually flat iron it ever few months to see how long her hair really is and how bad her ends are. So, that was the plan this week. She didn't seem to mind this time as much as in the past. Her friends at school loved it, even a couple of teachers commented. So, take a good look, I don't know when she will let me do it again.


Last night was our ward Halloween "Trunk or Treat". I really, really dislike Halloween. It is so much work! I usually fight with Camille about her costume. I beg her every year to please be a princess or some type of girly costume. She was Raggedy Ann on year, but it's only because I forced her. So, for many years she has begged me to be a hot dog. No, no, no is always my answer. She has been so good this year. Her grades are all A's which is extremely hard this year because they have put her in 8th grade math. She has really been easy, so I gave in. I ordered the costume online and gave it to her as a surprise. I hate it and she loves it! It is totally Camille. Everyone at the party loved it! She was the only hot dog. Megan and her friends all are going as the same thing. We had a very difficult time finding costumes that were not skimpy. They wanted to be super hero's, but as soon as you get in the teen sized the costumes become either strapless, bare midriff, or mini-mini skirts. So, disappointed but modest, they are Josie and the Pussycats.

Spirit Week at North Middle School

This week is Spirit Week at school. Megan is president of her school, so she got to help decide the days. Today was "Favorite Team" day. Here is just a quick photo of the girls. I thought they looked so cute, plus Camille let me put a little mascara on her today!

Girls Trip to New York

I had a wonderful time in New York City. My friend, Joanna and I went to celebrate our 35th birthdays. It was a quick trip, but a ton of fun. We saw two shows together, Legally Blonde and Tale of Two Cities. They were very different, but both good. Legally Blonde was light hearted and funny. Tale of Two Cities was beautiful! It was similar to Les Mis, which is tied for my favorite show with Wicked. I didn't see Wicked on Broadway. I saw it in LA last month with William. Plus, it is coming to Portland and San Francisco. On Saturday night, our last night, Joanna say Mary Poppins while I went to the Bliss Spa. I would have like to see it, but I was just too tired. We spent all three days walking and shopping. The first stop we made was, of course, Tiffany's. The rest of Thursday was spent shopping at the big stores on 5th, Madison, Park Ave. and that area. We had lunch at Serendipity's. Joanna had a frozen hot chocolate. It looked to rich to me. Strange that I would pass up chocolate. I bought a pair of boots as Saks. They are really comfortable and cute! That was my big purchase for the trip. I spent a lot of time looking at handbags, but could never decide, so I bought none. Friday we spent the day in SoHo. That was a lot of fun. Again, we shopped all day! We had lunch in a deli, I can't remember the name, that was neat. They had every kind of food that you could imagine! Yummy. Saturday morning we went to Central Park and went to see the temple. Then we took the subway to Herald Square. We both wanted to go to Macy's. It was huge, but I was very disappointed. It was kinda dirty and way too crowded for me. I much prefer Bloomingdale's or Saks. We both wished there was a Nordstrom. Oh, well. We did spend some time in H & M. That is a fun store. I bought a shirt. It was overwhelming. So many things! By mid-day on Saturday, Joanna and I both had so many blisters on our feet that it was hard to walk. I had blisters starting the first day. Those had already popped and started again. Joanna's poor feet were bloody. Gross, I know, but we looked good! We had a great time! The most funny thing happened while we were in SoHo. We walked into a store and the lady complimented Joanna on her bag. Now, her bag was one I bought her at Target. It was funny because here I was carrying a designer bag and Joanna's was a cheap little bag that got the compliments! Joanna could not stop laughing. It was funny. It was a fantastic trip. What a good use of frequent flier miles and Marriott points. Every girl should have a trip like this! So much fun!

General Conference and such....

Today is Troy's birthday. He would be 37 years old. It seems strange that he has been gone for so long. The girls asked me questions today like, "What kind of cake would you make him?" and "What gift would I give?" The answers were Apple Cake and golf or video game stuff. I probably would have bought him clothes. I have been thinking about him a lot lately. Maybe because of General Conference. This past weekend is one of the few times a year that his parents come to the states. I was sad to have missed watching conference live. I was in NYC on Saturday and on a plane on Sunday. I wished so badly that I could have been bumped off my flight when it landed in SLC. I was only about 10 miles from them, usually they are thousands of miles away. I was also unaware that some family from the colonies was up. I was especially sad to hear that Daniel, Troy's dad, gave the closing prayer in the Sunday Morning session. I understand it was the best prayer in a long time. I haven't heard many comments about what he said. I have heard that it was short, very short! When I talked to Pop about it, he said as he was getting up to pray, they told him he had only 30 seconds. I guess no sleepers in that prayer! He spoke in conference in 2006, but I am sure this was a much easier assignment! Today they were spending time in Provo with Mike and Elizabeth, Troy's brother and wife. They were then going to the cemetery to visit Troy's grave and take him birthday flowers. I am always grateful when that special place is looked after. Whenever we are there, we try our best to get it clean. It needs a power washing. Someday, I will find a way to get it as clean as possible.

Mr. Darcy

I guess it can be confirmed that the girls and I are fickle. Move over, Edward, Mr. Darcy is now here.We spent some quality time together watching Pride and Prejudice on Monday evening. We had such a great time together. I love it when it is just us girls. Plus, it reminds me that Megan is still human, and that the alien that has possessed her is not permanent! Megan is now over "Edward" and on to "Mr. Darcy". For the first time, Camille even has a little crush! She got the book the next day and is tearing through it. Megan wants Camille to finish so she may have it next. On Tuesday, I did nothing but spend the day watching the 6 hour BBC version of the movie. Both were fantastic! LOVE IT! The girls and I are going to try to watch all of the movies and read all of the books by Jane Austen. Next up is, Emma.

My New Bag

Most of you know that I love handbags.

Okay...in LA I bought myself a new bag. I had been looking for a new bag. I have been carrying my old bag for over a year. That is the bag on the left. Love it, but it is super heavy. So, directly from the airport we went to the Beverly Center. William was of course thrilled. There I found a LV and a Burberry store! Heaven. Not to mention it had a Bloomingdale's too! So, I looked for a couple of hours and this is what I found! Doesn't everyone need a new bag for Fall? You can't have a new bag with an old wallet. So, I HAD to get that too. (:

Plus, it will look so pretty on my arm when I am in NYC with Joanna!

NO KIDS ALLOWED

William and I just returned from a quick trip to Southern California. We had this planned for many months. I had planned to cancel to stay and take care of Megan. Her surgeon told us to go. We were very close by plane and Megan would be home from school, sitting down and watching TV. So, nervously, I agreed to go. Everyone was so excited to get away, especially William. We went to celebrate a friends 40th birthday. We joined about about 10 of our friends, including several couples, and went to Disneyland for a couple of days. The best part was it was adults only! The goal was for everyone to be kids again. Well, William sure accomplished that goal by getting in a spat with Mr. Potato Head. Long, but funny story! William and I went down a day early to spend some time with his family and also to see his daughter, Ashley. She is just finishing school in Santa Monica. We flew in early Wednesday morning. We did some shopping and after lunch, Ashley came to join us. I was on the hunt for some perfect jeans. Thank you, Bloomingdale's. We had a fun dinner and evening with Ashley and William's family. We stayed in a beautiful hotel right on the beach in Santa Monica. We had a perfect view of the beach and also of the pier. Thursday we walked the promenade in Santa Monica. Thursday evening we took Ashley to dinner again and met our friends at Wicked. William and I saw it in November, but Ashley hadn't seen it. It was fun. Friday and Saturday we spent the days at Disneyland and California Adventure. We had a great time with our friends. We rode just about everything. The best part was spending time with William away from the stresses of everyday life. Well, maybe the best part was my new Burberry handbag, with matching wallet, but don't tell him that! We are lucky to have such great friends. William and I are blessed.

High School

They day has come for Zachary to put on a Grants Pass Caveman football jersey. I know I have said this a thousand times but, when I married William, Zac had just turned 8 and in the 2nd grade. He is now a freshman, playing high school football. It happened so fast. He is doing well and is playing safety and wide receiver. He loves to tackle. These are pictures of him at his first game and of his team coming out together. It is crazy to see them all so big. These are the same boys who used to be shorter than me! It is so exciting!

I Spoke Too Soon...

A day and a half.... That's the amount of time the kid's had been in school. On Thursday, Megan's second day of 8th grade, I received a phone call about noon. On the phone was Megan's best friend Kylee. I was surprised to hear her voice. I was expecting the voice to be someone from the school, as the caller ID suggested. She said, " I am calling for Megan. She's too scared to call. She doesn't feel well. I know when she is faking and this time I think she is really sick. You should come get her". Great.... I was on my way to my own post-op appt. in Medford. I had about 40 minutes to make the 45 minute trip. I was grateful the school was close. At the school, I found Megan in the office, head between her legs, and crying. She was complaining of a stomach ache. I helped her up and signed her out of school. She was walking like an old lady all hunched over. So, home we went. As I was pulling into the driveway, Andrew, a.k.a Brother and Dr. Pitzak, was getting ready to head with Joanna and the girls to tennis. By this time, I was pretty sure that Megan was really hurting. He came over and looked at her. It is so nice to have your best friends next door, especially when the friend happens to be an MD. After examining her, he said the word I was dreading, appendicitis. I called, Neil, the pediatrician,(Also a good friend), who then spoke to Andrew. Time to call the surgeon, who just happens to be Megan's soccer coach when she was 8 and the father of one of Megan's good friends. I called his house to see if he was the on-call surgeon. If he was not, then I would take Meg to Medford. We were in luck. We were off to get labs.

If you don't already know this about Megan, she is deathly afraid of needles. If you have ever seen the old Airplane movie with the hysterical woman who gets slapped, that's what Megan is like. So, getting the blood was a ton of fun. The results showed that her white count was way up. We headed to Brett's office to have him look at her. Much better than the emergency room. It turns out a virus that mirrors and appendicitis was going around. So, we needed to wait to let the pain localize a little more or it would go away. Well, by Friday morning, no relief. We did a CAT scan mid- morning Friday and went home to wait for the results. When I got home, I had a message to call Brett right away. He shared the results with me and asked how long it would take me to get her back to the hospital. The OR was schedule from 3 thru the evening, so if we didn't want her to wait, we needed to hurry as it was available then. I called William and he met us at the hospital. Thirty minutes later, she was in surgery. Andrew cleared his afternoon and scrubbed in to be with Megan. It was very comforting to know that he was with her when we couldn't be. Plus, he was able to snap a shot of her surgery with his Trio. If you want to see it, let me know! Her procedure went perfectly! As she was wheeled to her room, her nurse came in to introduce himself. His name was Troy. Megan looked at me and smiled. Her friend, Kylee was her first visitor. She brought flowers and a cute stuffed animal. Shortly after that, some of the girls from her soccer team came with a card and balloons. Very sweet. She spent the night in the hospital and we came home this morning. She is doing very well. She is very tired, but in good spirits. The Vicodin may have something to do with that! She will be out of school for another week or so, but will be back to her old self soon. She can even get back to soccer in about 2-3 weeks! I am so grateful for her protection on comfort. We are blessed.

Summer is Over.... YEAH!

Is it terrible to be so excited to be home alone? Yesterday was a day of firsts in our home. Both Zac and Camille started at new schools. Zac at Grants Pass High School and Camille at North Middle School. Megan's first day of 8th grade was today. Both Zac and Camille enjoyed their new schools and said it was no big deal. I have said it before, but time is going by so quickly now. Zac will get his drivers permit soon, Megan is a teenager and Camille now shaving her legs. Ugh...I am old. It has been a very long time since my last update. August flew by so fast. We spent a lot of this summer traveling and August was no exception. A brief summary of August: Zac started football and loves it, especially daily doubles. He is playing safety. I hope he doesn't get hurt. Megan played in a tennis tournament, soccer tournament in Portland and turned 13! Her party was a Luau and I hired a lady to come and teach the girls an authentic dance. I had a menu of Hawaiian food and a cake in the shape of a pineapple. I even made Kalua Pork. Yummy. Camille also had a birthday and turned 11. She had a party as well. Her party was a swimming and relay race party. It was a lot of fun. I will add photos and you can see for yourselves. William is busy at work and I am not. It is strange being home. I think I will enjoy it. I am finally feeling like myself again. It was an interesting recovery to say the least, but I have turned the corner. Maybe I will be better at keeping my blog updated so people will stop telling me to fix it! Here are some photos from August. Enjoy!

Home, Sweet Home

Finally, we are home. It has been a long month. After our visit in Utah, William and Zac drove out to join us. The five of us flew from Salt Lake to El Paso to spend some time with Troy's family in Mexico. We had such a wonderful time in the colonies. The orchards were beautiful. It was so fun to see all of Troy's siblings and families there. We had a fun-filled visit with everyone there. I wish we would have had more time to spend with the Uncles and Aunts. I didn't even get in one good game of Rook! Next year, maybe. I think next year will be when I start to send the girls down for a week or two each summer. It is important for them to know their legacy and really have a chance to know our Mexico family. The girls are so excited to go! After our visit to Mexico, we flew back to Salt Lake and proceeded to drive to Montana for William's nephew's wedding. It was a long drive. The ceremony was a traditional Greek Orthodox wedding. The entire ceremony was held in Greek, so I don't know what was said. But it was very beautiful. We were in Missoula for 2 days and then we drove home to Oregon. It was a very long 3 weeks for me and the girls. We were home for 2 days and then I had my surgery on Wednesday of last week. It sounded like a good idea when we planned it that way, but I was crazy. The surgery went well. I had some complications in the hospital afterwards. My doctor was a little surprised because I am so young. Usually women who have a hysterectomy are much older and more prone to complications. Well, as I said to my doctor, if it's possible, it will happen to me. I came home Thursday evening. It was nice to be home. My doctor thought it would be good for me to stay another night in the hospital, but William could take care of me so much better at home. So, home I came. To make a long story short, after some more complications and back to the doctor, today I think we have a handle on everything! Yeah! Now I can heal and just bet back into the swing of things. The girls have taken very good care of me, especially Camille. When she hears me get out of bed, she runs in and yells at me to get back to bed. It is very sweet. My friends have been so kind in bringing us food. This must sound like a rambling mess. I suppose it is one of the side effects of heavy narcotics! Maybe that is why I can't stay awake long enough complete this properly. I'll fix it later.......

Girls Gone Wild!

The girls and I are in Utah this week. Megan is attending a camp in Logan and Camille and I are staying with my sister Stacey. It has been a lot of fun. We have been very busy. Tomorrow we will go and stay with my sister Sydney. We spent our first full day, Saturday, at the mall. It is so nice to be back where I can actually shop. I am sure William is not pleased. The first thing the girls and I do when we come to Utah is go to the cemetery where Troy is buried. I have not taken pictures of it since they day of his funeral. I thought the girls would like a picture. It was a beautiful day. Every time I visit the cemetery, I feel bad about how dusty is headstone is. This visit we took a broom, water and rags to clean if up a little. The girls worked so hard to get the dirt out of the letters of his name. It was touching to see them both working so hard to make it look beautiful. After about 20 minutes of cleaning, they were satisfied enough to put their flowers down. When the girls were little, we would go up every week and take flowers to his grave. Camille would always choose a yellow flower, usually a sunflower. Megan would choose a pink rose. When we stopped at the flower shop, I didn't even tell them what to choose. Camille went right for the yellow and Megan for the pink. The shop didn't have sunflowers, so daisies would have to do. Megan found the perfect pink rose. I always take a red rose, and that day was no exception. I am so glad that I chose this particular place for him. It is peaceful and beautiful. The girls and I can just sit and talk and not be bothered. It is very private. The cemetery always has bunnies running around. Usually, the girls find them and try to catch one. We didn't see any on this visit. At least the deer will enjoy the flowers! It was a nice time for the girls and I to be together there. The next day, we drove up to Salt Lake to have dinner and spend some time with Troy's parents. They just bought a home there. For the last several years we have seen them, it hasn't been in their home. Because they live foreign, we usually see them in Utah or they come to Oregon to visit. It was nice to see familiar things in their new home. The girls spent the afternoon looking through Troy's baby book and photo albums. I am grateful for Troy's family and the huge part they have in our life. I am grateful that when we are with them, it feels like they are getting a little bit of Troy. His family is wonderful. They love us so much. I am grateful for their love for William, too. They have accepted him like a true part of the family. And I am grateful that William encourages us to be with them. I am thankful that I can go and remember Troy and know that I am free to still love him and not feel guilty. William is a very special person. I know that he is unlike any other man. I am a very lucky girl.

Dibble-Dabble

Today was another day spent outside watching the girls and their friends in the pool. It has been so warm here. The fires from Northern California are huge and the smoke from them has blown several hundred miles to Southern Oregon. It looks like we are in LA because of the haze. We are lucky that we don't have any fires close to home. I am sure they will come. As the kids were swimming, they wanted to play a game. The game to play is 'Dibble-Dabble'. I am sure you have never heard of it. My brother-in-law's family made it up over 20 years ago. Let me give a quick summary. One person has the dibble-dabble, while everyone else is out of the pool and backs turned. The person dives in and drops the dibble-dabble somewhere in the pool and quickly gets out. As soon as they are completely out, everyone turns around the tries to locate the dibble-dabble. The first one to grab it and yell "Dibble-Dabble" wins. The first one to 5 wins. You may not dunk or push anyone to get to the dibble-dabble. The only way to get try to keep someone else from winning is to splash like crazy and try to move it away from anyone. It gets loud and crazy. Our game today was a little less crazy because we were only playing with 7 kids. When you get 10 people and adults, (they are the worst) it is insane! Oh, you may ask what is the dibble-dabble? This is the most important part. It is a small piece, usually around 1-2 inches, of sky-blue colored pencil. It is so hard to find in the water! Such a fun game. The overall winner today was....Camille! She was so proud of herself! This particular pool game has become a legend around here. Kids are always asking to come over and play dibble-dabble! Just another day in our insane home!
