Misc. K "stuff"

And here is K's randomness.

Cracks me up. Princess crown, dress, shoes. Woobie and thumb in the mouth. Nice.
Sharing thumbs.

Princess? Spiderwoman? Not sure.

Such a cute scary face.

K is very jealous of her woobie. She doesn't want anyone to get it "hot." She only likes "cold woobies."

'Memeber C's boo boo? When we went to get his stiches out, both of the kids got a sheet of stickers. K wanted to have some sympathy for C and the bandaids on his face. But she wasn't counting on them hurting when she went to take them off. Made me laugh. She didn't think it was so funny.

K loves to "help" Daddy mow grass. I think she thinks she's actually mowing.

She always uses these backwards. Not sure what she sees. But she's usually looking for butterflies.

Misc. C "stuff"

In going through my pictures, I've come across so many "misc." pictures. I decided to dedicated 2 posts to "randomness." One for C and one for K.

Remember that bucket of Legos? and the monster C made? Here is his latest creation. Pretty good.

Not sure what he was thinking, but it will be a good black mail picture later in life.Every time I cut C's hair, he wants a mowhawk. So I cut it and after the picture, fixed it to "normal."

Posing. Nice freak boy.

All his bike "gear." Now he doesn't even wear it.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had such an awesome Memorial Day weekend! It's always nice to have a long weekend with Daddy home. Friday night we played outside with the kids for a very long time. Saturday we set up the pool-finally. It took quite some time to blow it up and then fill it with water. And man, was that water cold! We played some video games while we were waiting for it to fill up. Then we all sat or splashed in the pool. Saturday evening we did a little shopping (check out the new bike posts to come). Sunday between churches, we let the kids ride bikes (again on the bike posts). Sunday night after church we had a VBS meeting (a forever meeting in case you were wondering). Monday we did some more video games, more bike, more pool. Just had a great time spending time together as a family. Monday evening we celebrated C being done with school (see Chuck E Cheese post in the next few days)

Sad to say we didn't take many pictures all weekend! (except for the bikes--future posts and Chuck E Cheese--future posts) Here is one picture that Daddy took with his phone. Pretty cute kids if I do say so myself.

PS: I have many posts coming up and they are so out of date order. I've been blogging just as I've had time. Therefore the longer posts will be done whenever I have that much time to do them.

Guess that character!

Belle (Beauty and the Beast)

Goofy (now he was truly a character; in every sense of the word)

Flik (from Bug's Life)

Terk (from Tarzan) did you know she's a she?

Why have we been so busy?

I honestly don't know. It's not like we have had a lot of extra/unusual things going on. We did have missions conference this past weekend. But we only went Friday night and there wasn't even an international dinner this year (what is a mission's conference without a meal????) So I can't blame it all on that.

The 2 weeks immediately following Disney, I had extra kids 2 days in a row. That makes for 2 busy weeks. I also had my blood drawn for a check up (my bad cholesterol is high-fun stuff) and I had a filling done last week. That was THE WORST FILLING EVER! No wonder I always cancel those appointments for 18 months in a row!

Last Thursday a friend (the mom of my Tuesday kids) and her 3 kids and me and my 2 kids (was that a run-on?) went to an indoor playground way up north of Indy. It took us about 40 minutes to get there. But it was so worth it. We were there for 3 hours. The kids got to play and we all ate lunch together. C still ended up doing an entire day of school that day. He did most in the car (we got to drive Daddy's cute new little car). He did very good.

Otherwise, I really don't know what we have been doing. Trying to keep up with the house, laundry, dishes, football............... So I've determined I'm going to try to be more productive. I don't know when, but I"m going to try.

This past Saturday we did get some shopping done. I needed hose/nylons/those horrid college thingys for winter. I never wear them in summer, but winter sometimes requires them. We are also looking for sneakers for both kids (can't find any) and Daddy needed new winter gloves.

Yesterday I got A LOT cleaned out of the garage. I'm tired of storing garage sale stuff and then making little/no money at the garage sale that I worked so hard on. So most of it went to Goodwill. I also had to rearrange some stuff to find a place to store the pool (18 feet around by 4 feet deep-just a little one) that we got from Jon&Teena (C wanted to know when we were going to set it up. It's a little cold don't you think?) I also started fixing one of our dining chairs that has been sitting in the garage for a long time. I asked my neighbor for some help and he is going to finish it hopefully tomorrow.

Last night Daddy and I spent 4 hours working on.........................check out the next post. Today I'm determined to get some Disney blogging done. Tomorrow I would like to start (that's the key word) organizing my scrapbooking stuff. I have also been busy doing some online Christmas shopping (I've found some AWESOME DEALS! Check out http://www.mysweetsavings.com/ She always has some awesome deals)

This week I have 2 different sets of kids 2 different days (did you follow that?) Saturday night we will do our new tradition for Halloween. Wednesday night for AWANA K is supposed to dress up as an animal. Check back for those pix. We still haven't finished our fence staining (on our list for whenever we have a few days without rain). Thank heavens for Green Socks who put up our swing set or that would still be in the garage too. (Oh I guess I need to blog about that too, huh?)

Oh and K got a big girl bed (frame/headboard), but no new mattress. We just put her crib mattress on top. Hopefully we will get her a new mattress this weekend. Then I will take some pictures and blog about it.

And I forgot to mention that C's children's choir sang in church a few Sunday's ago. Daddy videoed it but didn't get any pictures. In the class for this choir they had been collecting quarters for Bibles. They collected enough money for 49 Bibles to send to missionaries. That's 49 Bibles at $5 each! Good for them!

So that's been my life. In a very large nutshell/post. Now I will attempt to finish my Disney blogging--after tomorrow's post.

Here are a few pictures of the indoor playground that we went to last week.

Misc.

Just a few miscellaneous things to tide me over until the next post.

Wal Mart savings! Monday, I only spent $91 at Wal Mart. But wait! $20 of it was on a gas card for gas (you get 3 cents off with a gas card). But wait! $13.17 of it was for stuff for K's birthday party Thursday night. So actually I only spent $57.92 on groceries. And I didn't even have many coupons (2) or matches (2) this week. It's been a lot of work but kinda fun too.

K isms: As she was sucking her thumb Sunday, a friend asked if he could have a taste of her thumb. Her answer was "No you have your own." Well duh! Monday night at the game she did NOT stop talking. I asked if her mouth was ever shut. "No Mommy. That's why I have a mouth."

Blessing: I have been praying for some extra money to come in--to save for Disney, to put towards the swing set that we WILL be getting next week, and a few other things. I was thinking some babysitting for me or some PPVC jobs for Daddy. We got a check in the mail today for a nice amount that was overage from our mortgage company. Not how I was expecting it, but thank you Lord!

C had a little (short for even him) bike that someone had given us 2 years ago. It didn't sell in their garage sale and so they just gave it to us. Just this year, he has really taken off on that bike and is confident riding it. Well it got a flat tire. I mean a hole in the tire, can't be fixed, flat tire. So tonight we are going to look for a new bike for him. He said he is willing to put all his money ($37) towards it. I"m hoping we can find a good one at a good price.

This cool car/truck was in our neighborhood yesterday. She was visiting a friend across the street. She kindly let me take pictures. Not only do I think it's very cool looking (I like old cars) but I loved the color. It's a 1929 model T Truck, I think? I'm sure about the year (I asked her) but not the name. Oh well. It's cool. And it had an "oo-ga" horn. Too funny.

McD's: is giving away a free McCafe' every Monday until the end of August (7am-7pm). Go try one! Hey, it's free!

Daddy is done with softball for now. His tourney is Saturday and then it's over! Unless they decided to play summer league. Aaaah! I have no idea if he ended up with a winning record or not. He played a double header Monday night. I do know that he won the first game (beat our other FBC team) and lost the second game. We are waiting to see when we play Saturday. I just hope not the 8 am game. 9:05 wouldn't be too bad.

I think that's all I have for now. Hopefully tomorrow I will blog about our very small July 4th celebration.

Misc.

Here are a few Misc. pictures from Easter weekend. K was pretending to sleep, but I thought it was such a cute picture. Friends-at least for now.
Everyone got new sunglasses except me; so I took the picture.
These are the new sunglasses that I got for Daddy for our anniversary. Doesn't he look smooth?
