Week in Review

Well I've been busy these past couple of days no time to even think about being on the computer. I had a minute and its super late but just wanted to update you all on what's been going on (I know you'll all rest better knowing what we have been doing) Thursday was a field-trip day for Jonathan yeah, he and I both survived! Friday was the talent show, I was told about this a LONG time ago and nothing else said. Thursday night I found a note about the talent show and ask Jonathan about it, yep, it was Friday and yep he was in it. Friday comes I go to the school (Dennie had the day off so the kids stayed with him thank goodness Jared would have been late for school) I have to admit I was a little nervous, Jonathan requested no help for this talent show, I knew what he was doing, but still I was nervous. Well I was one PROUD Mom, he did AWESOME he did the hula hoop, I just wasn't prepared for what he did. It wasn't just standing there doing the hula hoop, he did tricks with it. It was great, a real confidence builder for him too. Then Jared had a T-ball game and we got a super complement on him. He is quite the little player. Tonight was the dance recital, and Rachel did great, I thought she would be scared but she danced super. (we even won a dinner for 2 from the raffle they had yeah us) I'll have to post pictures of them all later. It was a good fun week, and I am proud of my kids, I would and still have a hard time doing things with people watching, I'm glad my kids can do things and not let their fears or nerves stop them. It was a busy week, and only 1 week of school left YIPPEE! Have a great and restful Sunday. Melody

Yesterday's Projects

Yesterday I decided to make a bag holder, I think it turned out pretty good, (Rachel helped make it) It holds TONS more than the store bought ones, and was super easy to make. I couldn't believe how many bags we stuffed in there. My next project of the day was Texas Sheet cake, this is a new favorite with the boys, its really chocolaty and yummy and I was very good and only had one small piece, I made it so Jonathan had a yummy treat for his field-trip today and Dennie had some for lunch and of course dessert last night. Today brings doll clothes I cut them out in December, so it is time they got finished and the girls will love them. Hope they turn out. Its our last dance practice before the recital on Saturday I am a little nervous cause she has the front center place (unless she changes today) and I don't know if she will get scared or not, I hope not but what ever happens will be OK. Have a good one

Ribbons and T-Ball

These are a couple of the bows I have been making its my new obsession. The bad thing is how many bows do my girls really need and I have run out of ribbon, so the next time I go to the falls, I am going to stock up on more. They are super easy and lots of fun to do.

We have T-Ball today yahoo. Its funny to watch the kids play and sometimes very frustrating but as long as they have fun who cares. Its all about the fun right. Hopefully the weather will be nice and no rain or thunderstorms, but you never can tell and they say we are going to get some so we will see. Another field-trip tomorrow. I am really getting tired of them, why do they even have them? If money is so tight, why not cut those first? Its so close to the end of school Jared doesn't even want to go anymore, but I just tell him he only has so many days left and then he is OK with going. I can hardly wait! Have a good day ya all.

What day is it?

This week is going to be CRAZY! It feels like a Monday, so that means I will be all messed up, and we have a lot going on this week so I need to keep it together and know which day is which. The kids were really cranky today, hopefully not a sign of what it will be like when school is out. Only 9 more days YIPPEE! I enjoy the kids being home, but I need to find some cool actives to do to this summer to keep them busy, and to help one keep his mind off of some so called friends, that will only be his friend if he has cool toys, or treats. Its hard cause he is little and doesn't really understand about having true friends even when we have talked to him and explained it to him he just wants friends to play with, so I need lots of fun busy ideas to keep him busy. Hopefully I can find some that he will be interested in and the other kids too. Wish me luck.
