sometimes i think i don't need to take the camera nearly everywhere i go and then sometimes i'm glad i can dig it out of my purse ...
she has figured out that walking is better than riding in the cart and target carts work in her favor 'cause when regan is in her car seat in the back the top seat won't open all the way ... so she walked & helped pick out ziploc bags, a new cat litter box & party hats.
and a few other things that were eye level for a 2 year old -
- - -
her daddy knew where to find us after his long day of work & after we'd taken the other kids up to awana.
- - -
fun mail came today -
and amie was gracious to my motto of the-kids-don't-need-more-things & sent them all consumable chocolate bunnies : )
hey lets just eat the ears turned into those bunnies being totally consumed and i remembered that later at dinner when no one was all that hungry!

do you know why i took this picture? to remember their shirts after our trip to costco & after they tried nearly every sample in the store. jack's was filthy & benny didn't have a spot on his. crazy, beautiful boys ...
- - -
little miss regan tired some puffs for the first time yesterday. some of her other samples have included a green bean from dinner that i think all she really did was suck the garlic & bacon favors off from being stir fried, some bits of bread, whip cream & water. sailor's first food was carrots ... i don't remember the others : )
i think i'm beginning a campaign on what kind of foods i feed them .... and i'm perfectly delighted the boys like salads and molly eats strawberries. sailor would starve but the rest of us could live quite awhile on those two items.
- - -
and with that i'll talk out of the other side of my mouth : ) since i bought this cake today and have not taken one bite .... yet. we have a point to prove to the sister-in-law whose birthday we totally forgot about last weekend - us rodgers can rock a party. my excuse for eating it will be something like - if you're going to consume calories they might as well be as delicious as possible!!

i am going to make tomorrow as saturday-ish as i can. i have lots of little to do saturday things like wash the car, clean the fish bowl, change the sheets, take the kids for a picnic ...
tonight doesn't seem strange yet - i'm used to being up this late. but the bed is empty & rex is gone - so it will seem very strange when i go to get in bed ...
he's never been gone for work for a whole weekend before.
it was friday night girl night tonight - sailor remembers every week. we snuggle up on her bed and sing, pray and she likes to hear stories about me. me & my selective childhood memories makes that a bit tough : ) tonight we talked about mexico trips, how the reality was one of my favorite parts was coming home ... maybe that's one of the reason's i never left town and chad & amie did ...
anyway poor regan suffered through since daddy wasn't here to hold her. girl night, i know & tell myself is something very important to be faithful to do.
i'm actually yawning - i have been up crazy late all week.
i'm missing rex.
i think we could count on one hand the nights we have been apart in the last 8 & a half years ....
i'm going to go take a blazing hot shower since he's not here & the bed's not pre-warmed. i cleaned the bathroom & washed the mats today and i saved the one in front of the tub so the kids wouldn't walk on it tonight & it could be as soft and puffy as possible for stepping onto out of the shower - a silly little thing, i know : )
- - -
oh and we discovered a great song this week -
we've added it to ben's love song list - sing loud.
happy 1st day of the rest of your life.
