the curse + popeye arms

   i believe that corey & i are cursed when it comes to our cars.  specifically, our car tires.  we always seem to have a tire that leaks air.  right now, all three of our cars are having tire problems.  friday when i got off work, the tire was so low on the truck it was practically flat.  i had to stop and put air in the tire just to make it home.  then when i got home, i noticed that the van had a real flat tire (and let me tell you, the dummy tire does not even look like it can support the weight of the van).  we haven't been driving the pt cruiser lately, but it also has air leaks in 2 of the tires.  what is with that?!  i want a car that is self healing, so i don't have to think about it.  oh, let's be honest, i don't really think about the cars anyways.  that's probably why my tires are the way they are.  oil changes, air in tires, filters and stuff, that junk never crosses my mind.  i just get in the car and expect it to go.  i guess i need to start paying attention!

on to other things...

today the kids and i went out to the church to hang with corey while he was working.  it worked ok for a while.  jagger likes having all the space to run and cash and slade crawl and explore everywhere.  i helped put the sanctuary back together (well, more like i put 6 rows of chairs up and then started trying to get pictures of the kids).  eventually, though, the good times started to end because jagger was getting put in time out for continually playing with the drums (he knows better) and cash and slade kept taking tumbles.  i was trying to comfort cash after he fell when slade fell and i ended up like this:

i think i'm starting to get popeye arms from lugging these guys around.  although, i'm not going to able to do it much longer because they are getting hefty.  they have their 9 mos checkup & shots on the 21st and i am curious to see how much they weigh now.  

this pic is from the other night when i was testing my camera timer.  they were mesmerized by the flashing light.
my kids.  they are a handful.  just look at them.  oh boy.  i think i have the three stooges on my hands.  they are going to provide me with so many fun memories.  they are my world.
