I'm Back

Well it was one busy week. We had two dinners to go to last weekend that had great food. On Tuesday the kids made a Thanksgiving Feast at school for all of the parents. It was really good also. On Wednesday, Tyler's daycare class made a meal for all of the parents also and it was also very good. The kids and I then went to Pontiac to head to another family gathering on Thursday. The kids had a blast at Aunt Jill's. Most of the time I didn't even see them because they were busy playing. Friday and Saturday brought very long days of shopping. We got pretty much all of our shopping done. We just have a few more to get. This morning we woke up to a winter wonderland. The ground and trees are covered in Snow. This is Buster's first snow and at first he didn't know what to do then he got in it and loved it. He ran around like the crazy dog that he is and kept putting his nose in it and sneezing. Hope everyone had a great week.

Sorry it has been so long

I am so sorry it has been so long. It seems that there are not enough hours in the day. We have all been fine. The kids are all doing good. They are learning Christmas songs for their programs which we got to hear on the way home tonight. We have another busy weekend coming up. Buster gets to go to the vet tomorrow. We will see how much he has grown this time. Today he got out of his crate while we were at work so we got to come home and clean. He is getting alot bigger. He now takes over the recliner and loves to help me do the laundry. He gets alot of exercise when I am doing the laundry because he takes off with a piece of clothing and then I have to chase him around and try to get it back from him. He is a pretty smart dog which kinda sucks for us. The kids and I are his personal chew toys which is just wonderful. We don't tend to spend much time downstairs now. One of these days I will get some pictures on here. I hope everyone has a great weekend and a Happy Thanksgiving. We will be pretty busy next week so I don't know if I will be writing next week. Sorry. We will be shopping all weekend next weekend. Talk to you all soon.

Another Week

Well another week has flown by. Last week was a lot of the normal day routine. Get up early, go to work (school), come home and feed Buster, feed the kids, do homework, read, baths, and bed. Now that it gets dark so early it seems that time is flying by at night. Before I know it it's time for the kids to take a bath and go to bed. The kids finally got to make up a wish list for christmas so I will get those out as soon as I sort through them. The kids are all doing pretty good. Angel has a bad cough that she is taking care of but other than that they were all good. We went to my mom and dad's this past weekend and spent the day on Saturday. We were go, go, go, all day. The kids had a blast. It was really nice to see them. It has been a while since we were able to get home. All of the kids fell asleep on the way home. Even Angel, who very seldomly falls asleep in the car. Sunday I took the kids shopping so that Angel could get a new pair of jeans. They also used their money from Halloween to pick out something of their choice. The girls both picked a stuff animal that has a secret code to go online. They are like the webkinz, but these are Littlest Pet Shop animals. Tyler picked a truck with a trailer and dume buggy (shocker there). I will hopefully be able to download pictures this week. Now I have to fight both of the kids for the computer. Taylor likes to play with her new animal on it and Tyler likes to play games. If I was able to stay awake after the kids went to sleep I would do it then, but since the pictures aren't on here yet you see how well that is working for me :>) Hope everyone has a great week.

I'm Back

I am so sorry that I am so far behind on this blog. We have had a very busy couple of weeks. The kids are doing very well just a little crazy. Last weekend we did not have any of the kids because Angel had a party at her other grandma's for Halloween were they do hay rack rides and other stuff. She said it was really cold but she had fun. Taylor and Tyler went to their dad's because Nana Donna from Texas came back and wanted to have the kids. On that Friday night we had our Family Fun night at the daycare. It was fun but it made for a very long day. The kids and I were there from 7am to 8pm. Jason got a little break to come home and feed Buster. Saturday night Jason and I went to a Halloween party. I am hoping to download some pictures soon so you can see his lovely costume. On Monday night I took the kids to our mall and went Trick er treating. It was very busy there. On Tuesday, Taylor had her last day at dance for her PE class. They had a little recital for the parents. It was so cute. Hopefully I can put the video on here even though it doesn't have sound. After they did their dance, they had the girls teach us moms some of the moves they learned. I now know why I was never in Ballet. Falling over is not a move in their books. On Halloween the daycare had a parade to the hospital. It is always so cute to see all of the kids dressed up along with the teachers. Jason dressed as a shark for the parade. I was a Ballerina. I didn't dance though. Our parade usually has somewhere around a hundred kids in it. Taylor and Tyler's school had a party day after the Parade. They went to their dads this weekend and Jason and I went to St. Louis for our first Anniversary. That's right we have made it a year. He, of course, surprised me and had me go park the van so that he could run up to the room and lay rose petals on the floor and he had two dozen roses sent to the hotel that he put in the room. Then he came to help me unload the van and when we got to the room I asked him if the Hotel knew it was our anniversary and that's when he told me about his sneakiness. He also got me a beautiful necklace and some Cardinal stuff. Taylor called us on Saturday to tell us she lost a tooth. I told her that I didn't even know one was lose and she told she was keeping it a secret. She had pulled out all by herself without anyone knowing it was lose. I was very proud of her. This puts her at 5 teeth that she has lost now.
Buster spent the weekend at aunt Tonya's and did pretty good. He seems absolutely exhausted now that he is home. I think we will send him there more often. They have 4 dogs and 2 cats to put him in his place. He hasn't tried to chew on anyone yet tonight. We will see how long that last. Well I better go know. The kids need a bath and bed. Hope everyone has a great week.
