25 THINGS ABOUT ME, err, I mean US...

25. I love my husband more each day and thank GOD for him everyday, sometimes, even several times a day!

24. I love my 4 kids equally and am sad that they are growing up soo fast.

23. I go to bed super early...for some reason I cannot sit on the couch and watch TV...so I go in my bed and try to watch TV, but I just fall asleep in a matter of minutes.

22. Zach is just as crafty as me, if not more so! So, we have decorating conflicts quite often. It's not often you find a man that has an opinion about where the couch should go.

21. I think my daughter, Hannah, is going to be an interior decorator, hair stylist, or professional organizer. She likes to rearrange my decor, do my hair, and organize the candy bars while we wait in line.

20. My oldest son gives me a kiss every morning as he gets out of the car for school. I love that. My second oldest does not. I think he thinks it's not so cool.

19. I love how our son, Zachary, changed his name this year. In first grade, he figured out that Zach was shorter to write than Zachary. I wasn't thrilled, but I let him do it. But, in fourth grade, he came home and told me that he was changing his name from Zach to Zac. He didn't like the CH sound and so now he is really Zac.

18. Our house is 998 sq. feet. I've learned that it does have it's advantages and like to the see the glass half full! Less cleaning and when my kids are older...there will be no sneaking around, wink, wink!!

17. Mea loves her NO-NO...if she gets in trouble with me, she cries, "NO-NO, I want NO-NO." No-No is her big brother Noah who caters to her. I love their special relationship!

16. I love to be crafty and learn new things, but it is hard for me because I have no designated space to do it.

15. We have two bulldogs and they are the perfect dogs for our family...lazy and passive!

14. My husbands oldest sister lives one house over from us. I think that is pretty cool! Especially for the kids.

13. I wish my parents and my brother and his family lived closer to us. That would be super fabulous in my books!

12. My son, Noah, always ruins his jeans in a matter of minutes. He walks on the bottom of his pants and shreds them to pieces. And, he puts holes in his knees. Zac does not do that...I wonder what they are doing differently at school?!

11. Mea, 2 years old, will ONLY watch Barney. I am so tired of Barney, but I have to admit, I love hearing her sing the songs.

10. Mea used to have a "tinky" but she doesn't use it anymore. A tinky is a binky...the funny part is that every night when i tuck her in she still says, "find my tinky, mom, umkay".

9. I love that my husband is a hands on kind of dad! I guess I didn't realize that he is a gem! I think it is because he is still a kid at heart!

8. One time Hannah gave herself a haircut. I was bummed about it...and when I asked her why, she said, "I didn't want to interupt you. You were making dinner." I was teasing her saying that her hair was kind of funny now and she said, "Mom, it will grow back, it's just hair. It's my brain that matters, anyways." She is so right!

7. I am the meanest mom, EVER. I get told that a couple times a day. I'm over it!

6. Zac is always humming the Star Wars theme song.

5. My favorite drink is a Pepsi from Diggers Deli in a styrofoam cup with crushed ice.

4. Hannah had her first sleepover at a friend's house last month. What a milestone. We returned the favor and had her friend spend the night a week later. It was so cute!

3. I catch Mea on occasions "drinking" from the ketchup bottle...EWWWW!

2. Big Zach loves Vasquez deli and all the workers there know him and love him.

1. ZANOH stands for ZAchary, NOah and Hannah. It was big Zach's label for videos that he did. But, now that we've had Mea, we haven't figured out how to include her in that. We thought about naming her Sophie so she could be the "S" in Zanohs, but that didn't work out. We get asked all the time about that.
