Random Sampler

There seems to be more "blog worthy" things happening each day than I can effectively write about so here are a few random things that have happened in the last few days that I wanted to share.

SUNDAY SNACKS- part two
Once again, despite my greatest efforts not to, I fell asleep yesterday afternoon (a habit I have GOT to break). When I woke up I was expecting to find all kinds of interesting things in the kitchen. Much to my surprise however, the kitchen had been untouched (I think they were still full from last week). After dinner and getting the boys in bed I sat down at the computer to take care of a few things and found a funny little note for me typed in a word document from the boys. It said,

Request For Dinner Monday Hebgers

I love these kids, they are SO funny!

WEIGHTS AND MEASUREMENTS
I finally gave up trying to find clothes here for the boys and just decided to order everything they need on- line. Because they are both kind of in between sizes right now, I thought I had better take their measurements before ordering to avoid buying the wrong things and having to return stuff. So, I did and this is what I found. Spencer is built like a Mattson- long legs (25" inseam) and short arms (17") and Ross is built EXACTLY like Robert! His legs and his arms are the same length (21")- it is the cutest thing! Even now it makes me smile to think Ross got Robert's fabulous build.

ME AND MUSIC
I love music and have always tried to stay pretty open minded about what I listen to. However, today I was driving home from dropping off Robert at work (my car is out of commission because one of the tires got a hole in it (a story worthy of its own post someday)) and thought I would listen to a little music. So I turned on the CD player not knowing what was in it and suddenly I was surrounded by loud, twangy country music. It was so offensive. I can really explain how it made me feel but it was just all wrong. All I know is that Italy is not the place for country music. Mississippi- yes with out question, but not Italy.

    This is great Bean! I love all the little snippets of life. It makes me smile and feel like you aren't quite so far away. Secretly I'm a little happy to hear about the country music. You know that's one bandwagon I never got on!

    The boys are so funny. Did they get their hedgers last night? They have always liked those burgers! You use to leave me notes under my [pillow now I see it has progressed to notes on the computer. How funny.

    Sorry I never got all that stuff for the boys...I was waiting for the Easter stuff and it is here now. Please send me a list of what you want from the US soon. Business is picking up again and I think I have at least two house to do before we come...so let me know soon.
