Well, so I had to tell you all that I got the Mom of the Year Award. I got it because one day I was outside in our backyard with the kids. You see, we have sweet pea, the flower/plant growing in our yard and I noticed that there were real peas on the vine. Hey, kids come over and let's try the peas to see if they're any good. They weren't that great, but tasted like a pea. The kids thought they were great! Jeremy got home and found out what we were doing. Did you see if they're poisonous before eating them, he asked. Well, not but they're just peas. Jeremy stormed into the house to google. I sheepishly went inside to see if Jeremy found anything. Yep, the entire plant is toxic to humans, it can cause paralysis and lots of other things in large quantities. No, none of us got sick, but I learned my lesson! So, please, noone eat sweet pea, it may be tempting, but not worth it!
I am coaching the Young Women's Volleyball team this year for their short season! To all that know my real skill in Volleyball, they don't pick coaches to try to get the team to win, they pick coaches that are cute, really energetic and fun! So, I of course had to be the top pick! The girls are great and pretty good! our team name, the snaps. Go Snaps!
I'm out!

Oh my! No toxic sweet peas for me, but I do think you are a great mama.
btw, how is your dad doing? if you need anything, just let me know. your family is in my prayers.
The sweet pea incident sounds like a classic Matt/Melissa interaction. Don't feel too bad, I probably would have fed them to the fam for dinner! Glad to hear you guys are all doing well!
I've had to call the Poison Control center before. Oops. I can totally see you as the Volleyball team; sounds fun!
lol. picturing you eating sweet peas... weren't they gross? too funny!
Don't worry. My friend Dwight Durrant fed his baby an entire jar of what he thought was pears only to find out that his wife had put the bacon grease in the jar. She was a finnicky eater but downed the whole jar of lard. Miss you guys!-
