Monday Mumbers: Pokemon edition

Well, since Cuddlebug and Bearhug are obsessed with Pokemon, I decided to make that the theme of today's Mumbers post. Here are just a few random stats and observations:


492 - total number of Pokemon in the National Pokedex (at least according to their rather large book on the subject)

204 - number of Pokemon they have spotted in their game

85 - number of Pokemon they have caught

582631 - number of times the boys tell me all about the latest in the world of Pokemon on a daily basis

0.0001% - frequency of how often I understand what they're talking about

1433 - number of pounds Giratina weighs (original form)

210 - number of Pokemon in the Sinnoh Pokedex

624 - pages in the Pokemon handbook Platinum edition

8 - different kinds of Eevee's

15 - the number of Pokemon on Bearhug's "top 10" list, lol

11 - where Pikachu ranks on Cuddlebug's list of favorite Pokemon

1 - Pikachu's "HP" (health points? it was his low HP that bumped him down to 11 on Cuddlebug's list)

947.3 - estimated number of hours the boys have spent playing Pokemon, or studying the Pokemon handbook, or talking about Pokemon, since they first got the game last month

2 - optimistic estimate of how many people made it this far without eyes glazing over... (haha)

"all dem" - number of Pokemon the boys know about (that was their response when I asked) :)

Monday Mumbers #1

This is my first "Monday Mumbers" post. Visit Good Enough Mama for more Mumbers action.

btw, I love the title of this because it reminds me of how Cuddlebug used to say "mumbers" instead of numbers. :) Bearhug called them "umbers." Whatever you call them, here are mine for today:

14 number of times I felt like bashing my head against a wall this weekend

0 number of times I actually DID bash my head against a wall this weekend (aren’t you proud of me?)

4 number of times I wished we could wear sweats and tennis shoes to church, because I would prefer to be dressed more appropriately for the 3-hour workout / wrestling match that is church with Bitty.

35 number of puzzle pieces that went flying when Bitty got mad

4½ number of feet in the air the puzzle pieces flew

2 number of people who had to duck to avoid being hit by flying puzzle pieces

5 number of times Bitty flipped the lights on and off at church yesterday (a record low for him, woo-hoo!)

1 number of times I got to the light switch before Bitty did (he was unimpressed)

2 number of boys in our family who did great at church yesterday (yay!)

26 number of "rainbows" Bitty made with the water fountain (it does kind of look like a rainbow when you turn it on)


4 number of times I held Bitty up to “lick the rainbow” (because he doesn’t actually drink out of the water fountain, he just sticks his tongue out and jumps back as soon as it touches the water)

5 number of times he stuck his hands in the "rainbow"

2 ounces of water he got on his shirt

0 number of backup shirts I had for him (oops)

2.3 estimated number of miles I walked carrying Bitty around the church building in a circle (ok, I can hear Cuddlebug correcting me in my head, and he would be right, technically it was a rectangle not a circle).

40 approximate number of pounds that Bitty weighs (it's not like he'll actually stand on a scale long enough to get an exact weight)

79 number of pounds Bitty feels like he weighs after carrying him for 10 minutes

87956743 number of pounds Bitty feels like he weighs after carrying him (on and off, mostly on) for 2-3 hours.

17 number of days left in the school year

5 approximate number of weeks of routine-change-induced-angst we have to look forward to (before and after last day of school)

I may have gotten a little carried away there... :)
