That phrase is rampant here in the MN. Well, actually our fellow Kusileks in Wisconsin were my first clue-in to this Midwestern lingo. I knew it was serious when my dentist said it today! "Holy Buckets, they have six kids!" (Really. We were talking about having kids and being in school)

P.S. If you can see the notes on my notepad right there, it's a bunch of locksmith phone numbers. Perris took the bus into Minneapolis and lost his keys yesterday. Whoops. Our car is still parked in the bus station lot tonight.
Another interesting moment and fun fact from my new dentist office was the wild turkey peeking in the window two feet from my chair. Literally PEEKING in. I'm not a fan of wild turkeys, they give me the heebie geebies. (And the third mention of this office I MUST share is that I was given a $25 target gift card for BEING referred there by a friend. ??!!??? Shock and delight overtook me when they said "oh, let me get your gift card for being referred here!" Umm, OK!! I could spend hours at target. So if you move to the greater twin cities area soon, we would both get some target cash if you become a patient there!)
Just a gem from earlier today...Wade was helping me make peanut blossoms and when we sat to unwrap kisses, he put on his serious concentration face and got to it! Just LOOK at those sweet tiny nub fingers using all the power of his two year old fine motor skills! It was seriously awesome.
P.P.S. I have never been so cold as two days ago running into Target. Literally running, kids in stroller, gloves on hands. I could not feel my hands. Bitter cold frozen tundra. That's where we moved. We are visiting St George next week where the forecast is 48. Beautiful. Lyndsey, who will be returning from a year+ in California, will be freezing. We will be basking in the warmth!!!!
