My baby is 3--How could this happen?


I decided to take Allyson and her little friends (and their moms) to Chuckie Cheese on her birthday. Grandmother's surprise party was that night, so we went for lunch, also that is when all the rides are free! She ran around hopping on all the rides, but kept coming back for more pizza in between. By nighttime she had a pretty bad stomach ache--I think she ate about 4 pieces of pizza and a cupcake! I told the friends not to make a big deal about presents since Dollar store items are still exciting to her. I told my friend Mandi to get her Capri Suns and she would be the hit of the party. (She asked Santa for that and screamed with delight when he actually brought it!) I was right! She kissed and hugged those Capri Suns! She was even shaking at one point as she tried to open the next present--it was just too much excitement. Later that night we went to Grandmother's party and then to Nana's to have cake and open presents. She screamed and hugged each present and immediately put on the dress-up and started playing with her Dora scooter. She was so funny and cute all day--I think it was a success!

The Holy Bible

26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof which is in the side of the ephod inward.
27 And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath toward the forepart thereof over against the other coupling thereof, above the curios girdle of the ephod.
28 And they sholl bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.

Hmm who are my next victims... Don't worry I' ll just do the same as my mom, and you only have to do it once.

Tag you're it!

This reminds me of those guilt ridden chain letters for which I always broke the chain! Matt tagged me on this book game, so here are the rules:

The greenish flower buds and young berries of the caper. To jump or leap in a sprightly manner

I tag Sharla, Stacia and Mandi (o.k. she doesn't have a blog, but I ran out of persons!) , Ooops--I just read Mom's blog and she also tagged Sharla-oh well, there's nothing I can do about it now!

I'm Back!



Well, I guess I have neglected my blogging responsibilities lately. Katy and I finally got better from the Strep, and then last weekend I got the flu. Now I am starting to get annoyed. Every time I get the throw-uppy sick stuff I remember why 4 kids is probably going to have to cut it for us. Anyway, listen to this nice relaxing Valentines Day! First made the traditional pink heart pancakes for the kids for breakfast. Next I had a wild and crazy Preschool party with 18 kids from 9:30-12:00. At 12:30 I took the girls to a neighbors house and was off the the elementary school. I helped at Katy's class party until 1:30 and then Jordan's 6th grade "dance" until 3:15 , which by the way was hilarious. There were more boys than girls so they asked some of us to dance with the poor little boys. I ran home in the middle of the dance to get the camera and the video. It should be good ammunition should I need it later on in Jordan's life. Anyway, the kids had friends over all afternoon, I made Todd his favorite peanut butter kiss cookies, and it was my turn to drive Katy and her friends to dance at 6:00. So, needless to say, I got heart pizza from Papa Murphy's and called it good for dinner. We all ate so much junk-what harm could greasy pizza do! Things finally calmed down at about 9:00. Todd and Jordan did their Yoga for golfers (I was too tired to even do Yoga), and then Todd and I watched our shows. What a day! Luckily, Todd and I had a very nice and relaxing dinner on Monday night, our 13th anniversary. We went to Market Street Grill which was delish!
