Day 31

First month down... George, Isabella's class pet, came home with her today and spent the night... He's a giraffe - after some stiching up... he had a GRAND 'ol time...

Day 30

They were COMPLETELY entangled in one another before I turned on the light to snap the picture... They are TOTALLY best friends

Day 29

So I think EVERYONE should have an outlet of some sort... since it is RARELY quiet enough to actually read... here is my guilty pleasure... FRONTIERVILLE!!!

Day 28

So... Last night when I got home with Stasi from the High School Information Night - this is what I saw...

Not that it isn't super cute or anything... You KNOW it is exhausting eating popcorn... But anyhow - It leads me to the picture for tonight... I am happy to say that my children are now the proud owners of a Futon conforms from a couch to a glat bed to a lounger... Here are the girls demonstrating just how comfortable it is... Don't let the cover fool you - this thing is B L U E - and I mean BRIGHT blue...



Day 27

Sitting at Summer Creek High School - Learning all the incoming Freshman things...

Day 26

Tonight my litte Daisy went and visited the Fire Station - what a GREAT treat for them all - she LOVED it!!!

Day 25

Isabella is participating in Jump for the Heart - to benefit the children of the American Heart Association - after the 1st day she has raised $155-. Hope those donations keep on coming...

Day 24

Oh goody - this weather ROCKS!!! (Sarcasim) And undoubtably my wee ones are going to get home and ask for ice cream... Sigh... How do I tell those little faces no? EASY - I say NO... but today - yogurt popsicles it is... Made fresh yesterday... They will be HAPPY - it has been a LONG time - and they know they will be ready after school... Thanks Mama for putting the idea in my head when I was little myself...

Day 23

I just HAD to post this for Karen...

Day 22

Isn't THIS the truth...

Day 21

My most WONDERFUL friend, Karen, had her baby Rhea this morning... I can't wait to have a special name for her like her sister - Soap Flake... Can't wait to meet her... And congrats to the new mommy, daddy, and big sister...

Day 20

Went with the Woodcreek Middle School Choir to see West Side Story... So this is me, Anastasia, and her friend Chloe...

Day 19

I couldn't take it anymore - I cleaned up Richard's office - Watch out there is not only a floor in there - but a recliner too... WOO HOO!!!

Day 18

Guess who is not feeling well... Richard picked my Bubba up really early from school - he fell asleep after I dropped him off this morning... and slept till Richard picked him up... He's not really sick... he just has this HORRIBLE cough and his nose is draining like a water spicket... and it is all clear... I think it is just draining down his throat... But Bubba WILL NOT take his medicine... Poor little guy...

Day 17

School starts for Richard tomorrow... Will I miss it - HELL YA... I LOVE going to school - and NO I am not being sarcastic... It's just me... I LOVE to learn - and I LOVE homework... Bring on the tutoring...

Day 16

So... at 0320 this morning - Isabella woke up screaming that she was in pain (from a prior ouchie) and Devlin was coughing really bad... So I thought - Hey - Now's a good time to go to the ER - I wasn't going to bed or anything... Here they are in the hospital wide-eyed and bushy tailed... *Sigh* - NOT a good sign... the GOOD NEWS - they were OK... We have to keep Bella on her medication... and I need to give Devlin either Zyrtec or Claritin... or Benadryl at night (which is what I am thinking)... The Nurse Practitioner thinks it is allergies since his lungs sounded clear - THANK GOD!!! I was not ready for the Bronchial Pnemonia again... and oh GOODY - meds every night - this is NOT going to go well...

BUT they were happy that I let them bring their blankets I made for them for Christmas... Batman for Bubba and the Slumber Monkey's for my little Monkey

Day 15

See she IS a girl... I LOVE you Zala

Day 14

Met this really nice Marine tonight - She had the cutest little dogs... Coco and Bella...

Day 13

Devlin fell in the shower and got his leg the other night - Here's what it looks like today... My POOR boy...

Day 12

I am SO proud of my little Daisy - I am also happy the patches are IRON on and not to be sewn on - Don't know how my mom EVER did it...

Day 11

I have TWO pictures today -

I had a meeting near Downtown this morning - and this girl came in with a LOT of dolls to share lunch with her - She held the ones in her arm the ENTIRE time she ate - It was SO sweet - I just could NOT resist...

And of course - I celebrated my 8 year Anniversary with Richard tonight... We went to Perry's Steakkhouse and Grille... It was OK - that is a WHOLE other story... but here's wat they brought us - Which Richard ate ALL by himself... Not my kinda sweets - I am a simple girl myself...

Day 10

Gunner actually likes to cuddle with Isabella's Monkey - He is LUCKY he doesn't chew it...



Day 9

Woo Hoo - Girl Scout Cookie Time!!! Isabella is selling as a Daisy for the very first time - Place your order by the 23rd



Day 8

My kids are crazy - I swear... Hopefully Guinevere goes to a new home tomorrow...

Day 7

Cristy left to go back to Iraq today - Gonna miss you

Day 6

While waiting at the elementary school for Isabella - to take her to the doctor... I glanced up and noticed this sign - Funny that I NEVER noticed it before... Perhaps they had it put up during the holidays - otherwise I just need to be more observant...

Day 5

How creative of the Woodruff's - They are using a pull-up while Penny is in heat

Day 4

I was out running errands and having lunch with a friend when I saw these - How COULD I resist - they were SO true...

Day 3

The Woodruff's came over today for lunch and somw Wii time... Matthew wanted egg salad sandwich for lunch... needless-to-say - he didn't like it...

Day 2

We went swimming today - Can we say - I LOVE indoor pools?

Day 1

Devlin is still up at 2140 - he is SUPPOSE to be in bed... somehow he lost his bottoms... silly boy...
