I'm Going on Vacation!

Megan and I are leaving for Ohio June 27th and coming back on June 4th. I'm so excited to go see my parents and my brothers and sisters. So I'll catch up on my blog in about a week.

Hair hi-lights

Jenny put some hi-lights in my hair last night

I never did this before. Gee Whiz my head is very

sore today. I found out today you only use this kinda

goofy looking hat when you have short hair. Jenny

did a great job,even if it felt like torture. My hair was so

kinked together when we where done I thought maybe

I would have to get all my hair chopped off to get rid of

the tangles.Lost about 1pound of hair just combing

them out. I had tangled hair like that one other time in

my life, When I went on the motorcycle with-out a helmet.

I guess I got punished for not wearing a helmet. Live and Learn!

The Marble

Kristine was changing Alanna's diaper and she

said what is this?Mom come here! so I went and

looked. Yes she had a flat marble in her diaper.

That really scared me. Because she could have

choked on that thing.We cleaned it up with Clorox,

and I put it on my desk in a zip lock. I am making

a scrap book and I want to put it in there. Well......

I was working at my desk and Alanna came and

sat on my lap she kept saying this this... wanting

something on my desk. I just kept on with my work

all of a sudden she jumped off my lap and said

Thank-You Ga-ma. I see the empty zip lock! I jumped

up and ran after her. I laid her on her stomach and

I had to force my finger in her mouth to get that

awful marble out of her mouth. We had a lot of screaming

going on.She was determined to not give me that marble.

I finally got it out! but not without a fight. Little Stinker!

Yeah it's Saturday!

Saturday and I don't have any children in the house. So I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned some more.

Wow it seems like this week just dragged by. On Tuesday I was trimming the trees and bushes and a palm tree.Well the palm tree has very sharp needles on them, as I trim ed the last branch it came crashing down right on my shoulder, Oh my goodness the pain was incredible. We thing the tip of the needle broke off in my shoulder.The next morning I could barley lift my arm. So off to the DR again,seems lately I'm a regular there. Dr.put me on a very strong antibiotic and told me it would come out on his own. I begged her to try to get it out because I have heard of other horror stories about these needles. She didn't want to but she did try, She said she didn't find anything.Well today my shoulder is not feeling so great so I don't know what is going on.


Alanna is busy as ever, on Thursday I had her and Eva here well needless to say they keep me hopping.Before I go on those of you who know Mike know how picky he is, when I wash and fold his laundry I don't even put it away because he a certain way to do it. His closet is perfect. He knows where everything is. He even has his closet door opened just enough so that if someone opens it, he knows. Kristine an I found out the hard way:0. He puts a lock on his tool box so I can't get into it, Actually his tool box is cleaner then my kitchen drawers! He always knows where his shoes are, I don't! I am the only one that could ever eat a bite of food off his plate if you would he would push his plate away and quit eating. I bet some of you wish you had a husband does most of his own laundry. Well anyway to go with the rest of my story, I put Alanna and Eva in the bath tub, the two of them sit in there an play longer then I ever knew anyone would want to sit in the tub. Well while they where in there I proceeded to pick up the house that they had totally destroyed. When I walked in our bedroom I noticed that Mikes eye glass case was on the bedroom floor. Oh No! I went to Eva and ask her if Alanna had Mikes glasses and she said Yes! Oh My I started running through the house looking for Mikes glasses. Well they weren't upstairs. So I headed downstairs. I did find them under a Chest drawers in the living room. I ran upstairs got his special glass cleaner and took all those grimy little finger prints off. Opened up his sun glass case to see how he had stored them in the case. Put them in the proper place. So far so good! Mike came home about two minuets later. he hasn't said anything about his glasses being bend or scratched. WHEW!!

Happy Mothers Day

We had a great Mothers Day, Kristine,Alanna
and Jenny came to church today, Then Mike
took all us girls out to Out Back for lunch. Then
we all came back to the house a few of us took a
nap, later we all watched a movie what a great
way to relax. I had a Great Mothers Day!

I'm tired!

I just want to praise all of you stay at home moms,hats off to all of you! It is incredible how a 23 month old and a 3 year old can wear you out. I am bone tired tonight. Alanna came at 7:00 and Eva came at 8:00. And we stayed busy busy all day. Swimming in the little green turtle, trimming bushes caring all the cuttings to the curb and they really did help me. We played on the swing set for awhile, and they love playing in the bath, so they had two really looooong baths. It is a lot of fun watching the two of them play they get along very well.Maybe because they don't see each other every day. And we made a hamburger casserole for dinner, I think it was called under ground casserole.Turned out really good. Then we made cinnamon rolls. Was really happy to have the girls here with me today, and just as happy to see their parents come pick them up!!!

Cinnamon Rolls

Eva is a great helper, when I'm in the kitchen
she always wants to help.

This was the funniest game I ever played at a baby shower they had 11 or 12 diapers filled with melted candy bars and you had to smell and you could taste them if you wanted to. try to see how many you could guess I wasn't very good at this game. But I did taste some of them.
