Idiosyncrasies and more....

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!
