I'd like to apologize to them! In honor of this recent chastisement I have scanned their blog and I'm going to make lists to copy theirs. I love making lists.
Here goes something amazing, I am sure.

8. Caledonia performed by Celtic Thunder
9. Till You Love Me by Reba McEntire

8 things why I love airplanes
1. I love that they can get us from one place to another much quicker than driving.
2. I love the interest Matthew has in them.
3. Some of the paint jobs are pretty cool.
4. I like that the windows can't pop out while at 15,000 feet, resulting in instant death.
5. I like the gps screens that show you where you are as you fly.
6. You get a free soda while you fly.
7. I love landing. Not the decent, but actually being on the ground again.
8. Fact: I don't love airplanes or flying. It scares me like crazy and I'm scared the whole time we are in the air.
The End.
Dear Matthew, you don't blog enough period! I love you.

12 things I like about Anna
- She is innocent.
- She doesn't know I don't know everything...yet.
- She has a great imagination.
- Everything is her favorite.
- Her laugh and smile are contagious
- She loves to help
- She loves bedtime...at 6:30.
- She is strong. She has been through so much and seems to be adjusting better than one could ever be expected to.
- She thinks ever letter in 'H' and ever number is '11'.
- She says everything I make for her is 'nummy'. Her favorite is fish!
- She has excellent manners and is very polite. I credit her adoptive parents for this.
- She has filled a void in my heart that I didn't know could be filled.
(I've added these but I'm going to make my kids blog them too!
12 things I like about Nicole
- She is a self starter.
- She is honest and obedient
- She is obsessed with the weather and natural disasters, addicted to the weather channel and accuweather.com. (She keeps a running list of the 7 day forecast and gives us reports at dinner. Then she checks it everyday to see if they were correct in their predictions.)
- She is selfless. I've seen her give up things she loves to make someone else happy.
- She loves to practice the clarinet and the piano.
- Her obsession with time keeps my schedule clear and precise.
- Her testimony of the gospel is growing rapidly right now. She loves personal progress and it working on it constantly, without nudging!
- She loves making lists and checking things off.
- Watching her change from a little girl to a young woman makes my heart swell with joy and a feel a little sad too.
- She has started singing in the choir and has a lovely soprano voice...not opera or screechy like when I was 12. She does a nice job.
- She has be creating clothing for her Barbie lately. She doesn't like Barbie or playing with Barbies, but she loves sewing for her!
- She makes me so happy! I am thankful my first child was a girl. We didn't know she wasn't a boy until after she was born. It was the biggest surprise of my life.
12 things I like about Matthew
- He LOVES all things gross and stinky.
- He calls me mother when he's trying to get my attention.
- He still snuggles and wants kisses - everyday.
- He hates practicing the violin and piano but has quit complaining about it and just gets it done.
- He loves to learn and every night when I tuck him in he tries to teach me something new.
- He thinks Grandpa Anderson, my dad, is rich because he has a water jug fill of change.
- He sings really loud and off key. He likes to turn beautiful songs into something horrible.
- He can sew fairly well. He made Nicole a pair of pants this summer and she wears them all the time.
- He doesn't care about what he wears but he combs his hair everyday.
- His Christmas stocking is made from his baby blanket, named piggy. In 2006, when the threads were all going one way, I salvaged a small part of it to make that stocking. I found new 'piggy' fabric, made him a new blanket and told him it was piggy's cousin. He rejected it. In October 2007 he lost his original piggy on a trip to Utah. He now sleeps with and loves piggy's cousin just as much as he ever loved piggy. He'll be 12 in June.
- He LOVES airplanes. A LOT!
- Children are difficult to come by in our home. I never knew I wanted a boy and as soon as this little guy was born I knew I could never live without him. He truly is my BEST boy.

ReplyDeleteI have never read or seen or heard Wicked.
