Thursday randoms

*As of late Friday night, Declan is on his 6th ear infection in a month.  Seriously cannot wait for his ENT appointment.  The poor little guy is having such a hard time with his little ears.  Breaks my heart.

* Looks like Miller will be wearing a head-shaping helmet for a few months.  More details on that later.

* I have a problem with putting away laundry.  Ugh, I hate putting laundry away!  I don't mind washing, drying, or folding it.  But putting it away in the closet or dresser is a dreaded chore for me.  Which is why I have 4 laundry baskets of clean, folded clothes needing to be put away.  It's at the top of my to-do list tomorrow.

* We discovered this week that Declan loves carrots.  Finally, we have a veggie that he will happily eat.  Carrots are my favorite veggie too, so we always have them on hand.  I made some delicious homemade carrot fries this week.  It may be a new staple on our dinner menu.

* Speaking of food, we have done really well about eating home-cooked, unprocessed foods this week.  Last night we had chicken stuffed with pepperjack cheese and coated with lime zest and bread crumbs.  Yummy yummy.

* This was originally titled "Sunday randoms" and here it is now Thursday.  That's how hard it is trying to find the time to do extra things.

* A really good job opportunity within his company has presented itself for Thomas.  Please pray that this pans out.  It could be really good for our family!

* I think we have watched "Cars" about 40,000 times in the past week.  With the temperatures being extremely low this week, we have been couped up and going a little stir crazy.  "Cars" immediately calms Declan down no matter what!  He loves it.

* I recently went through the boys' clothing and toys.  Boy oh boy they had a lot.   I am keeping several of my favorite outfits and am planning on (someday) making quilts for them.  Mind you, I have never before made a quilt but with Pinterest at my fingertips I'm sure I can find some kind of "quilt making for dummies" tutorial.

* I recently went through the hundreds of pictures of Miller and made a Facebook album.  I'm planning on making a picture album of his first year sometime this summer.  Speaking of this, I cannot believe my little Miller man will be NINE months old this month.  Gosh, the time is flying.  People always says this but it is so true.
