January 31st

Why is it that it feels like the year has just started and here it is the end of the first month! Just crazy if you ask me!!
We should be getting the boys report cards in the mail tomorrow but thanks to technology I already know how they did! They should be proud of themselves! I am.
February bring two additional days i'll be helping out in Mollys class in addition to my normal tuesdays. I'll help out for the Valentines party and also the 100th day of school celebration. It also brings winter break!! A full week off of school for all the kids. I'm going to have to come up with some good ideas to keep us all occupied!!

Another Wednesday

and I have not much to say at all!! I did not help out in Mollys class yesterday because we needed to get our taxes finalized and Paul forgot thats my day to volunteer apparently! No big deal though the teacher had help the rest of the week. Joe had confirmation yesterday and Molly and I hung out and she finished her homework. Paul went to the mens group at church but it got out a half hour later then confirmation class. Tonight we have Kids Club and I think Nick will stay for the little party they are having to watch the tape of the musical the youth put on. His foot is still hurting him a bit. I bought him a little ankle brace and he said that helps out quite a bit. His foot feels great when the brace is on and no shoes. If he puts a shoe on it hurts and he limps a bit. So I think he did do something to it but I think we are treating it the way a doctor would. If its not better by Monday I think i'll get it looked at but strains and sprain can take 7-10 days to feel better. I remember from working at the foot doctors not much can be done for foot injuries except for wrapping, and resting! Maybe he'll learn not to jump down a flight of stairs in stocking feet?

It's a birthday!! Almost

I decided to toss up this birthday background in honor of Paul! He turns the big 4-0 on saturday!! My aren't we all getting old???

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!!!
