Mister Studly's Make-Up Birthday Night

So last night we took the kids off to my moms. this time, we all rode together in the van! ha ha. and dropped the kids off so that we could have a date night and celebrate his birthday. it was a week late, but it was a lot of fun. we got some gift cards for our birthdays for movies and cheesecake factory so we used them. dinner was good though i felt bad for my hubby because we were crammed in on this little tiny table right next to a wall and he kept bumping his sore elbows. after dinner, we went to the movies and saw nick and nora's infinite playlist it was cute but a total teenager movie. it was from the same people that made juno and juno was better. anyways, something so weird happened to mister studly's arm. the other day, i noticed that his arm was black on the inside of his elbow kind of where your funny bone is. i thought it was black dirt so i tried to rub it off, but i realized it was a HUGE black bruise. it's so weird. it showed up almost a week after the accident. it's super ugly. it's bigger than my whole hand. crazy. his other bruises are healing so it's really weird that this one just popped up. i haven't been as attentive to his needs the last few days but when i saw that bruise i just said "oh.. my poor baby!" so now he's my baby again and I'm taking better care of him even though he says it doesn't hurt at all. it just looks really painful.
i have been cleaning out the house getting ready to have a garage sale next month. i cleaned out my kitchen cupboards yesterday and filled an entire black trash bag full of stuff. i was pretty proud of myself. i am going to be working on the living room today and the downstairs closet and hopefully get rid of some more junk that i don't need. it's hard to get rid of things sometimes because you're always like "okay.... i haven't used this in two years, but i know that once i get rid of it, I'm going to need it again" it's pretty frustrating.
moma is totally going through a growth spurt or something. she is starving lately. she asks me for food every hour. even last night at my moms house she was asking for food over and over again. my mom probably thinks we don't feed her. I'm interested to see if it's a growth spurt and how big she's going to get. with the amount of food she's been eating, i would guess about 6'11"
