With my third pregnancy I am starting to notice more of the stereotypes. The clumsy one came out in full force yesterday when I decided I needed chocolate chip cookies to make it through the rest of my Sunday afternoon. Apparently, maneuvering around the kitchen with my giant belly and my little helpers can be hazardous and I dropped a completely full cannister of sugar all over the floor. A few minutes after sweeping and vacuuming up the 5 lbs. of sugar, something went very, very wrong with my Kitchen Aid mixer, as you can see. And trust me it, it looked worse in real life. Note the helper. Chad took over at this point after I announced to the girls there would be no cookies. He likes less flour in the dough anyway, so the cookies turned out after all. It's another story for my kitchen floor, which also saw a bottle of Strawberry Vinagrette shattered and broken on it later that evening by my brother. I'm hoping to pay my sister to give it a thorough handwashing when she comes down from BYU in another week....

PS- For a good time, check out Chad's bio on the Denti-spa web site http://denti-spa.com. We're not quite sure who wrote this, but we are looking into it. New developments may be brewing on the work front, we'll keep you posted.

The Katos and us talked about your "practice opening" post and decided that you need to write a book w/ all those literary skills. Let us know if you do so we can get inline to buy a copy.

Just glad you stopped to take a picture of it all. I love Rylee's face peering into the lens. Can I pay Tricia to mop my floor too??

Yikes! Sugar is the worst to spill! I am always dropping things when I'm pregnant. I dropped two cups of water at work in a matter of 5 minutes. It was pretty embarrassing. Eric really enjoyed Chad's bio! I apologize ahead for any torture that Chad receives from my husband!

who would have thought that golfing at least once a week would develop into advanced training in pedo and ortho. Eric you will have to take it up again.

Ah, sugar on the floor. That's the worst, stuck to your toes forever. Yeah, aren't you lucky that Chad is now advanced in the areas of ortho and pedo, without all the extra school and $$! Lucky You ;)
