Scrapbook Day

Hey Girls...

I am scrapbooking today...who wants to come join me???!! I am just a little behind, I am still on when Aaron and I were dating! HA! I was also wondering about the circle journals. Does anyone have any idea where we are with that! I want see them all!

Accomplished!

For some reason today I got soo much accomplished...this is what I did, laundry, dishes, picked up the entire house, washed my dining room chairs (don't ask...I'm a dork, in my defense, they had NEVER been washed and there was sticky stuff ALL over them), made homemade bread, made dinner in the crock pot, talked to my kids, played with them in the back yard for a while, and a few other random things, and all the while my kids are being sooooooo good today (well so far) Woowhoo. We are also going to the library and then the park in a bit so that will be nice! This is pretty much a rare occurrence so I thought I would document it! I wonder what makes us so productive one day and so counter-productive the next? I want to hear some of the things that you all accomplished today (or recently), big or small!

Sunday Confessions!

1. I really dreaded gong to church today because we got home so late last night! We went and right when we got there Syd threw up in the parking lot (she is better now).

2. I did some laundry today (I try not to on Sundays) but the towels were gettin stinky! (They are still waiting to be folded).

3. Wesley would not eat anything (well a few bites of fajita) and then he cried for cookies and I gave him some...didn't want to fight. I'm a sucker!!!!

4. My kitchen is a huge mess right now and I am not gonna do anything about it tonight!

5. My kids stayed up about an hour after their bed time.

6. I gave Wesley a lot more attention than Sydnie today, which is seeming to happen a lot lately (not on purpose, just that Wes is younger and needs more help) and I know that really affects Syd negatively.

That is about it for now...nice that I can vent that...I already feel better! :0) Thanks for listening!

Fun Happenings...

Friday Aaron's work took all the employees to Silverwood (if you don't know, it is just a big theme park with lots of rides and waterslides). We got in early before it opened to the public and went all some roller-coasters! Way fun...no lines! We felt pretty special. After the park opened the kids go their fill on little kiddie rides and then we had a catered lunch from Longhorn BBQ. It was yummy. The we watched a magic show (I have never seen my kids so enthralled by anything in my life!). It was short but pretty good. The we went to the waterslides where we played in the freezing water for a while. It was warm out but the water was so cold it was hard to the kids to enjoy (plus there was a wind blowing...BRRRRRR). Aaron informed me that he felt incredibly sick and that we needed to leave ASAP. I thought he was over reacting...so I just kind of ignored it and then a little later he said WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW!!!! So we left at 4:00 and got home at 5:00. At 5:30 he threw up all over our bed (and it was all his lunch!!) YIKES! (Sorry for the graphic details!). Aaron never gets sick so it is really odd that he all of a sudden got this! We figured out that it was probably food poisoning mixed with dehydration. He ate about 20 lbs of cole slaw...it was probably that! Anyhoo...our day wasn't completely ruined because we had already been there for a long time and the kids were tired, but I wasn't quite ready to leave! It was actutally a REALLY fun!

Saturday we headed to Troy ID (2 hours from Spokane) for the Seegmiller reunion! It was really fun to see everyone and we ate and ate and ate. We all sat around and listen to Scott play guitar and banjo and we even had a special visitor....a MOOSE! He walked right up to a tree a few hundred yards away and started eating it right up! COOL! The kids of course had soo much fun with G-ma and G-pa Banks! We got home last night around midnight and then went to church this morning and right when we pulled into the parking lot Sydnie thew up on the ground! We took her home and she slept and is now better I guess! She has been running around all afternoon. Anyhoo, that was our busy weekend..we had tons of fun!!!!!
