Frye Fam Happenings

This week was so busy...at least by our standards ;) The big boys had their first 2 swim lessons this week. The first day was awful , but the second lesson was amazingly fun for them!! It's funny how things change so quickly sometimes! We had to take 3 (or 4, I lost count) trips to the auto repair for the van. To show for those trips? Two new tires, and an upcoming $600 bill for some dangerous leakage that I couldn't explain even if I tried. All I know is this...waiting at Walmart for an hour and a half wasn't exactly what I would have chosen for afternoon plans for me and my 4 little ducklings, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. Waiting for an hour at the mechanic (same day as Walmart) while the oil was changed and the previously mentioned bill was written? Not so bad either...Sonic and cable tv and a waiting room all to ourselves helped :) All in all, we handled it. The boys went with the flow, and I was once again SO thankful for my easy baby boy :) We had a play dat...

We had MOPS this morning! Woohoo!!!!!!! Love it more than I can express. Love the women, love the wisdom, love the encouragement, love the breakfast line :) We are home, 3 out of 4 are napping, and I'm trying to think of something to do for Family Night tonight. I really, really need to plan a date night with, you know, my HUSBAND!! Oh, how I miss him and long to spend time with just him. Maybe we're getting old (or maybe we're overworked), but conversations in bed at midnight (or well, even at 10:00) are not too exciting. No offense, babe...but for the record, if anyone should be offended, it's me (since I'm the main one doing the talking :) hehe) Melanie Young found out I was blogging through her and her husband's book Raising Real Men . How funny! (and random) I guess I really need to keep up with the weekly post now, just in case she decides to check in again! haha Good thing I love the book and can hardly put it down. Writing consistent, weekly posts about ...

Snow Ice Temps in the teens Wind chills in the single digits Another week in the house How do you like them fragments? Me? Not so much... Maybe you can find some more upbeat Friday Fragments over at Half-Past Kissin' Time !

Wow, I don't even know if I have enough to post about this week's activities. We spent yet ANOTHER almost entire week in.the.house. More sickness, more snot, and now we have added ridiculously disgusting coughs. Coughs that turn the boys' faces red, coughs that come every few minutes, coughs that cannot be avoided if one is to sneeze, laugh, or talk. Let's just say, my lap was never cold. Speaking of being sick...My dear husband was home sick as well one day this week, and of course he was still a wonderful husband and daddy throughout his illness. He built Lego's, read books, put kids to bed, held babies, and even adjusted Titus' ear to help cure his painful earache. I love you, babe! ( and when you read this post in a month, you'll see how much I appreciated you hehe ) Speaking of adjustments...Chiropractic works, people!! :) I believe Titus has had an ear infection twice in his life, and both times, after an ear adjustment, he has been better the next d...

I'm pretty sure most of you know I love Fryeday. It starts with my last name (well, not really, but you know :) ), it means my husband/babies' daddy is about to be home for the weekend, and it means it's FAMILY NIGHT!! Here are my completely random thoughts on this lovely day... The baby was up at 6 am to nurse (as is his custom.) My husband normally does morning duty around here. By morning duty, I mean he is up with the boys at 7. He fixes their milk/juice and breakfast and takes care of them until I come out at the last minute possible (i.e. when he leaves for work.) He had to leave early this morning to meet with a friend, so I am on duty. AND I just have to say, it is still pitch black outside. Titus is already up, and Justus appears to be sleeping in. (It's a miracle.) It is 7 minutes past 7, and if he's not up yet, it means he's still asleep. He is allowed to come out of his room at 7, and normally he doesn't let an extra minute pass. I have no idea w...

Yes, we like to call Friday "Fryeday." Call us dorks, we don't care:) It's fun for us to pretend there is a day named after us.... I wanted to rave about this book. I don't really know how much information I'm allowed to give (like I don't think I can quote the whole book for you...), but I just bought this book for the boys and LOVE it. As much as we talk about Thanksgiving, I don't ever really tell the history lesson behind the origin of the "holiday." This book, however, does it quite nicely for me. In very easy to understand language, the book lays out the story of the Pilgrims living in England, leaving for a new land...to find Plymouth, Massachusetts, where they experience hard times with planting and harvesting much, until Native Americans (including Squanto :) ) teach them about hunting and planting, leading up to the great feast of celebration and Thanksgiving . Now, instead of just talking about giving thanks to God for the blessin...
