Before I got unlimited texting I was a pretty thrifty texter. In fact, it was annoying when people wanted to have conversations through text or even text for fun. Just tell me what you need in two or less texts if you can't then call me, was my mindset. But now that I have unlimited texting (for only $2.50/month extra) I have become what I loathed.
Last night I was having trouble sleeping and so I started going back through some of mine and McKay's texting conversations. They usually only last a few lines, but one in particular was hilarious so I thought I'd share it:
This was after he had let me borrow his truck.
McKay: You're not hauling mattresses are you? Hey-oh!! Hey-oh!! {referring to a bad accident I had while hauling a mattress}
Talmage: Yes. Hey-oh!! Hey-oh!!
McKay: (I stare back at you blankly, with crickets chirping in the background.)
Talmage: (I hand you the keys.)
McKay: (I don't accept and the keys fall to the ground. I continue staring at you.)
Talmage: (I bend over to pick up the keys and let one slip. The fumes fill your nostrils.)
McKay: (I inhale deeply through my nostrils and reply with a straight face "Is that the best you got?")
Talmage: (I patiently wait as the after effect of my odor kicks in causing your throat to itch and your eyes to water. You struggle to keep a straight face.)
{He somehow never got this last message and so the conversation ended}
Well I thought it was funny, and I'm sure Jana will.
We went to the Mall and then to Red Robin with Hebs, Hans, Kimball and his girl. I took entirely too many photos of Heber and Hannah at this play place.
We stayed the night at Lindasys and watch movies.
This morning the kids ate some oatmeal and then we went outside. I did some weeding. They tried to "help". Heber was moving rocks out of the grassy area (someday will be grassy area) to the rock area.
It's OK, I don't now what she is doing either but what ever she does she does it so busily.
They love playing outside and I love that they can't really make a huge mess out there, well excluding the dirt on Hannah's face.
At the Hansen's we celebrate birthdays differently then the typical. We have birthday week, an idea that we stole from The Great Steven R. Covey. We plan ahead of time when we want it to start. It is typically on a Sunday or Monday. Talmage's birthday just so happened to fall on a Monday and so we started it then.

Heber being disciplined by Talmage:
Today I kept thinking over and over again how much I loved my little ones and how Mother's Day wouldn't be right with out them. They are in the little kids nursery now (I am in the older nursery). I was so touched when I got a book mark that they colored for me. Actually Hannah didn't color her's, she probably tried to eat her crayon thou. I used to wonder if all these picture kids colors for their parents meant anything to them. It does.
