whats new...

Not much!!! Boy, I sure don't have a lot to say latley!!
We were having trouble with our main desktop computer. Whenever Paul or I tried to email...whenever we tried to type in the body section of the email our keyboard locked up and the computer turned itself off and then right back on. It was the weirdest thing! Of course paul was ready to trash the whole darn thing, I just purchased the new Norton 360 ran it, it found 1 tracking cookie thing and erased like 10 thousand bad files or something like that! Well it works now!! It sure was crazy though!!
I finally changed our Christmas plates back to our normal everyday ones lol!! What a slacker I can be!!!

Wednesday again

I woke up this morning thinkging....it's wednesday.....but why can it not be saturday??? I am not even working anymore and I just wish it could be the weekend all the time!! Oh well!!! So we kicked the week off on Monday by taking the kids sledding after school. Molly was sooooooooo happy she had been waiting so long!! They had a fabulous time and I took a few pictures before my camera decided to stop working. The battery just died and it didnt even get to close up the lens or anything!! After we went sledding we went to my mom and dads to warm up and eat some pizza! Unfortunatly we do not really have any good sledding hills by us so we go to a park thats closer to my parents.
Tuesday we did not have to much going on. i made a super yummy pork loin that took to long for my kids tummies!! They complained all until it was ready. Sorry Nick but you did need me to pick you up that kinda interferes with my dinner prep!!
Today is wednesday and we will be eating at the church before Kids club/youth group activites!

well that was fun!!

This weekend was the performance at church that Nick has been practicing for. I think it went off absolutly wonderful!! Molly was asked to sit right next to the director so she felt really special. Molly also got requested to join the performance in Spring and she said yes. That will be a big step for her! It went great Saturday night, Paul got to see it then he was happy. Then during the 11:15 service at church they did the performance again. I think it was one of the best ones since the boys have been in. The director was really happy with how well Nick did. he is getting a lot more confident as well.
Joe was at a scout camp event this weekend. it was one that Nick should have been at too...but the performance had actually had to be rescheduled so since he was commited we couldnt take him out!
I am looking forward to them returning to school tomorrow though!!!

It's Wednesday

We have settled back into the school routine pretty easy here. Nick was tired when I picked him up from school. But, that I think is due in part in getting back to a sleeping schedule and getting up early again after our period of relaxation! We have had an ortho appointment for both boys and Nick has had musical practice...that will be ending soon because the musical is this weekend. Joe is getting his last baby tooth pulled today. I helped out in mollys class yesterday. it is fun...I enjoy it. She keeps me plenty busy as well! I tested a few kids on number and shape recognition,sorted lots of printouts,made copies for Science Day next week, finished up projects with two kids and a few other stuff.
Oh!! How can i forget!! I started a new project!! I picked up a really pretty country blue yarn and am starting to crochet an afghan for our one couch...I may make one for the other if I get really ambitious!! 3 squares are done so far.....many,many more to follow!! I am trying to get at least one done a day!!!

Tasty start to the new Year!!

So one of the things im trying to do is make some make ahead meals to have in the freezer. I found a great meatball recipe that works well for Spaghetti or a swedish meatball type dish. So im going to have those. I tried a Kraft Food and Family recipe for Lasagna Bundles and that was for dinner tonight! It was YUMMY!!! Definitly a keeper and a dish I won't mind making for others!! I tried a quiche....I did not thaw it long enough before i tried baking it...so thats still undecided if i like it or not!! We also have a recipe for Chicken Enchiladas fromKraft Food and Family Nick and I will be making that tomorrow I'll let ya know on that!

2009 is ending...

in a little more then 2 hours. I can't complain. Overall it has been a pretty good year. There are always some little twists and turns but we manage through. We had our nice vacation to Disney and also out to South Dakota to see my brother and his family. No major home improvements...this next year though we need to get some work done in the basement. My dad kindly took out our old, broken over the stove microwave and replaced it with the new one Paul bought me for Christmas. looks great!!
For the new year, i am not going to make any resolutions, as always...try to lose weight, I also bought a new Bible...its one of those read some very day and by the time the year is over you have read the bible. I also bought a Daily Devotional...so i'll have two short readings to read everyday.
I am not sure if in this next year I will begin working in the fall or not. No hurry in figuring that out! I plan on just enjoying the year and what it brings......that's all we can do right??

Christmas and other ramblings

Christmas day went really well. Molly really enjoyed all her gifts, Joe loved his huge Lego Star Wars set he got and Nick was so thrilled with his IPod touch he got!! Hubby surprised me with an over the oven microwave oven. The one we have been non functioning for about two years. I have duct tape holding up a piece from hanging but there it sat!! My dad is going to come over and help me and or hubby get the old one out and the new one in! Paul also got me a nice point and shoot digital camera that i wanted!! All the kids were well behaved, the meal turned out great though i forgot to thaw the rolls so we had no rolls...i dont think anyone but hubby missed them lol!!!

Molly wound up getting sick the day after Christmas. Just very sleepy and didnt want to eat anything cough,sneezing and very watery eyes. She stayed home from church today but the boys went due to needing to ring bells with the other youth in bells. I am looking forward to a relaxing week!!
