Randomness

I was tagged by Sarah Jayne http://sndandkiddos.blogspot.com/ to post 25 random things about myself. I decided to change it a little and do 25 random things about our family. Since this is a family blog.

1. We watch the X Files together, all 3 of us. I started buying Russ the DVD's last year and we all enjoy them. It's so fun to cuddle on the couch and watch a semi-scary show.

2. Russ has never had the Chicken Pox. How does that happen in a family with 6 children?

3. Our dog Pumpkin thinks she is human. She sleeps on Russell's pillow when he is not home.

4. I like being a stay at home mom, but I don't like staying home all day while the boy is in school.

5. I hate hate HATE the snow and would love to move back to AZ. That is not likely to ever happen, but I'm okay with it for about 8 months out of the year.

6. Jonathan was 4'2" last time we took him to the doctor. That is exactly 1 foot shorter than me. He's growing too fast.

7. Russ thinks sites like Facebook are a waste of time, but playing war games online is just fine.

8. I like playing video games with Jonathan, but not the war games Russ plays.

9. I need to clean my house but I'm doing this instead.

10. I love to read have a book with me most everywhere I go, just in case I have to wait somewhere.

11. Russ has worked at the same hospital since he graduated from college.

12. We want to adopt a baby.

13. Jonathan wants a puppy too, but we said no.

14. I set myself on fire with a sparkler when I was 3.

15. Jonathan has a wonderful imagination. He can entertain himself for hours making up stories with his toys. He even won a contest at school for a story he wrote.

16. Russ does a lot of the chores around the house. He does dishes and laundry and is solely responsible for snow shoveling.

17. I like to do crafty things, but I hate the mess they make so I don't do them very often.

18. Jonathan is a really great reader. I get to lead his reading group at school once a week and all 5 in the group are so smart.

19. We are going to the Draper Temple open house tonight.

20. I have lived in our current house longer than I ever lived in any one house growing up. (We've lived here 9 years this month)

21. I don't ever want to move (except to AZ) because I love our neighbors and ward and I don't think I'd like living anywhere else in UT.

22. I hate seeing For Sale signs in my neighbors' yards (you know who you are).

23. My house really needs new carpet, but Russ says I have to paint first and I don't want to paint.

24. I spend too much time every day looking at blogs, but I try to do it when the boy is at school or in bed.

25. I did go to the gym this morning. I didn't like it, but I went.



Oops. I forgot to tag someone. I don't remember how many people to tag so I'm going to tag everyone.
