I thought I would do something a little different with this post. I always find it fascinating the little things that make us all unique, lovable, annoying or even a little weird! But, I find some enjoyment out of learning about people and their behaviors...SO - I thought I would give you a glimpse of our little family and give you some info that you might not have ever known about us....enjoy.
Matt -
- Underwear has to be folded in half and then tri-folded
- Socks have to be turned right side out before being folded together
- Will not drink coffee heated up in the microwave or eat baked potatoes that have been cooked in the microwave.
- Is driven crazy by the sound of someone eating/crunching chips or smacking
- Midnight snack is a tablespoon of peanut butter
- Has to pull all the bed sheets straight and then fold them back before he gets into bed even if someone is already in bed - SLEEPING
- Has to stretch his legs every night before bed so he doesn't kicked to death- Restless leg.
- LOVES COFFEE and can't really live without it - at least I don't want to be around if he tries! Ha!
- Cannot go to bed if there are dirty dishes in the sink...so - he does them. I think this is one of the reasons I married him. ;)
Cayden -
- Would light absolutely everything he/we owned on fire if we
would let him
- Will eat an entire watermelon if we would let him
- Loves to have his ears cleaned out - gross, I know.
- Can fall asleep in about 2 seconds and lets out a loud breathing
noise/sigh when he is asleep
- Likes his back to be "poked" (pressing your fingers lightly into his back) when he is laying in bed going to sleep
- Has an infatuation with freezing things - I am always finding things in the freezer
- Will not eat licorice
- Thinks he is nocturnal :)
Cyvannah -
- Loves to organize her dresser drawers and does it
frequently (Praise the LORD)
- Would eat nothing but sweets if we would let her
- Has to go to sleep laying on her side
- Has to keep her bed sheets pulled up and sleeps on top of
them with just the comforter covering her up
- When she was little - her "binky" and "blankey" were called "Mitzy" and "Mitezy"
- Always lays down and covers her head when we are riding on the boat
- Gets car sick
- Rubs the tape of a blanket when she goes to sleep
Carlee -
- Would live outside if we would let her
- Has to have a binky (pacifier) and a sippee cup with her when she
goes to bed
- Sticks her pointer finger (sticking straight up) through the loop of
her binky while it's in her mouth - when she's sleepy
- Loves to chew/suck on wet wipes or as we know them "wha whas"
- Loves for Matt and I to give her a "group" hug. Over and over and over again
- Is addicted to Mimi's purse and wallet. Mimi has to leave it in the garage or out on the porch when she comes over now - unless she needs it cleaned out!
- Is addicted to shoes!! My shoes, her shoes, dads shoes - everyone's shoes. We are in trouble - just make sure you hide yours if you come over
- Rubs the tape of a blanket also!
Mom -
- My house has to be straightened up before I go to bed
- Laundry has to be intricately separated
- I don't want to share my hairbrush/toothbrush or any other kind
of brush with anyone
- If I drink milk - it has to be really cold with ice in it
- I always eat my cereal and ice cream in a cup - not a bowl
- I frequently have "panic" attacks or sudden fear that something is going to happen to my kids or my husband - I know, I am a weirdo!
- I have an EXTREMELY sensitive nose to everything. It's a curse! Although - one of the most comforting things to me is my kids' smells - they are all different and all wonderful
- And finally - guess what? At 33, I rub the tape of a blanket when I go to sleep. There is a lot to be said about genetics - Ha!
