weekend

having "tea" with dinner

1. the girls were super excited that they got to drink "tea" with their dinner last night.

2. staying up till 2AM on the weekends is kicking my butt! or is it the waking up at 6AM?

3. spent all day saturday with the in-laws. we took them out to lunch, played lcr. we stopped once kaylee won her 18 bucks! tried to play euchre too. ate dinner then came home.

4. reality of us moving just slapped me in the face yesterday.

5. we might have to sell/store all of our new to us furniture and cars.

6. and me shopping ikea or any other place has become senseless till we know where we're going. mike really likes this!

7. need to make lists of all the stuff i need to get done, places to visit, friends to see.

8. got a quote to restore the photo of my grandparents. $400! i went here instead. still waiting on the results.

9. tried doing yoga yesterday but it got cut short. it was not mixing well with my back arthritis and scoliosis. [think it will get better once i start moving more]

10. i'm starving and craving some chicken wings. going to lunch!

it's friday night

jack's favorite spot

1. that cat is always trying to sit on my lap or whenever i take a nap, he comes undercover with me. [we haven't done that in awhile though]

2. mike + kaylee are asleep. mike is getting up early to go run in the morning. ham is out with friends.

3. i just folded about 10 loads of laundry and still washing more. [laundry that i hide when the boss came over]

4. went to target this morning and the only thing i bought was my prescription for my allergies.

5. might be headed to ikea so i want to wait and see what i can find there. [maybe next weekend]

6. went to hotbox pizza tonight for dinner. on the ride over kaylee sounded like she was 26 years old instead of 6. she's just so smart.

7. i told the manager on duty that the girls needed to get their hair back in ponytails since its such a small space. hair in food = no more customers!

8. for kaylee's cooking class we made green eggs and ham in honor of dr. seuss's birthday.

9. one of the kids asked me how old i was. another asked if i was kaylee's sister- love him! and another said i was the best cook ever!

10. when kaylee got home she went on her swing set yelling "freedom!" and "i love this weather!"

YUM!

wendy, here's another 3 pounds!

cake batter pancakes

i LOVE deals!

my grandparents, mom side

1. both sets of grandparents have passed away. grandpa jack, in the photo, was the only grandparent ham got to know and he was the only great grandkid grandpa jack got to know.

2. i'm getting this photo restored and hopefully onto a big canvas as a birthday surprise for my mom.

3. trying to come up with a present for mike. i have a few ideas brewing in my head. hee hee, i made a joke. brewing- because i'm thinking on the lines of something for his beer.

4. 5:05pm yesterday i get a text from mike that his boss is coming over to the house then we will go out to eat.

5. so within that hour, i showered, cleaned the house to look spotless and got dressed. i lost my keys during this hour and you should see what all can fit into the dishwasher.

6. having his boss coming over made me realize that i really need to keep the house in better order. i have plenty of time.

7. his boss was super nice. he said our meal was dirt cheap compared to dining in calgary.

8. i just bought a two night stay for up in chicago via living social for 80 bucks. its right next door to woodfield mall and ikea! (if interested, i can send a link)

9. i also got two movie tickets for 9 bucks yesterday via living social.

10. and today at our local grocery store, they're selling charmin toilet paper and paper towels about 2 bucks cheaper than wal-mart. i stocked up!

its only wednesday??????

1. kaylee giving the peace sign with her new back pack

2. is it just me or is this week going slowly?

3. guess thats what happens when someone plays hooky from work all week. [i have made phone calls and emails]

4. i got a dozen cupcakes from adam's bakery to take to mike's work but he never got back with me if they were in the office or not. [thought i would meet his boss]

5. so now i have a dozen,scratch that, 10 cupcakes left that my muffin top is not needing but it keeps growling like it does.

6. my hair looks nice today though i'm in desperate need of some bangs for my big forehead.

7. mike just informed me that he got a great bonus + raise. high fives all around!

8. and i get another paycheck this week though it won't be very much.

9. i need to start getting stuff done for ham's graduation.

10. i also felt like exercising today. i know- i think i'm getting sick!

come to mama!

cinnamon roll pancakes!

[with a side of bacon-YUM!]

peace out!

taken this morning

1. i was concerned with kaylee's hair and how it was lacking in style. [don't need 2 frump girls]

2. so i changed her part and straightened her hair. much better!

3. she likes giving the peace sign lately. guess its better than some other sign right?

4. today was run errands day. got some food and household items. and most importantly- star bucks strawberries and cream frappuccino. YUM!

5. i also got the short second life of bree tanner to read while kaylee was at her dance class.

6. but i forgot that it was parent watch day so i took some videos. if i knew how to load them on here i would.

7. the book was awesome. short and sweet. and i highly recommend the twilight books and/or the movies chantale!

8. and i'm wanting to go away for my birthday though its super close to mike's mini marathon. maybe we should go away for his birthday???? [we meaning i]

9. its been a rough week getting back to normal school hours after a week of delays.

10. found out mike's side of the family thinks my parents bought ham' car. kinda p.o'd. everything we have is from mike working hard and me putting up with the long hours and phone calls.
