Ode to Joy (or the fourth movement of the fifth)

355.  Fun Video.  A friend just sent this to me.  It made me smile :) .  So here it is.

And here's a link to where it was. Fun comments. 

S-Train Valentines and a visit from the G-parents.

352.  Strategies. The S-Train was reading a Frog and Toad story to me this morning.  There were robins telling the friends to give up and not to fly their kite.  The S-Train said, "I would shake that bush."  To get rid of the robins.  Hadn't even occured to me.  Good strategy, though.

353.  Early Valentines.  The S-train has been working hard on early Valentines for me.  He gave me the best gift the other day.  It's a Mom's card - Or an S-Train club card. I run it down the scanner that is his hand, and he does what ever I ask!!  He was in bed in record time! :)
 
354.  Grandma and Grandpa!!  Came through a couple of weeks ago on their way out to their mission. It was so fun to spend time with them.  The timing was perfect and they got to go to one of the oldest's band concerts.  How awesome was that!  Grandpa got to take some pictures he'd been wanting to, and we took him to see cool buildings and then went out to dinner.  Cherry limeades!  YUM! Then we played games and stayed up til midnight talking.  I love being around my parents.  We laugh the whole time!  I love laughing, it's so good for you.

354.  SDKD. And for all parents dropping their kids off at school. - When I went to drop my kids off at school while the G-parents were here I actually saw a man shake his head and then drop his head into his hands at the school drop off at some idiot driver who had tried to cut in and thus stopped two lanes of traffic behind them.  I'm not sure, but I think someday they may find a few parents out there just stopped - having committed hari kari in the drop off lane.  I CAN'T WAIT until they combine another school with our in two years and the traffic doubles.(voice syrupy with sarcasm.)  We may be walking to avoid that even if it's minus 2!  (I don't care if you can't feel your fingers!  Walk faster, you'll warm up!)  I showed my parents this post and we all had a good laugh.

Silly things

350. More Puns.  The oldest to the S-Train, "You need to put away your legos."
The S-Train, "I'm Legolas,  I don't have any legos."  
(Legolas, from Lord of the Rings, Lego-less),
Grooooan.

351.  Pianists.  A few weeks ago we had some sweet college student helping play the piano in Primary.  I looked over, one was playing the right hand and one was playing the left hand.  Funny girls!  If only we could have them in Primary now!  We seriously need a full time pianist.

What's for dinner?

Right now I have three speeds for dinner.
Chili or some sort of bean soup - sometimes with rice
Chicken and rice
Tacos or taco salad

HELP!

Any ideas I have seem like a variation on these themes.  I think my family is getting bored.  Heck, I am getting bored.  Any ideas?  What have you had for dinner lately?
