The twinks sing

The Twinks preschool class sang in front of the church today. If these videos dont put a smile on your face well then I dont know what would!

it's a hard knock life...

guess we didnt need to buy them beds after all...

Sleepover

Tonight we all snuggled up in my bed and watched a movie. This week I figured out how to hook up the wii in my room so now I have Netflix on demand. The girls thought it was great. Courtney fell asleep during the movie so when it was all over I told the other 2 they could sleep in my bed too. Sydney had the greatest smile and couldn't believe it and Sam said I was the greatest mom ever (which she took back after I said I didnt want her laying on me all night!) after about 20 minutes they were all snoring away... Sydney by far is the loudest. I couldn't fall asleep in their so I am now sleeping in Courtneys bed! I'll probably sneak back in though before they wake up! Good times!

Yesterday was a GREAT day from the moment Sydney woke up to the time she went to bed not ONE whine! I seriously can't remember the last time that happened...It was awesome!!

she is in kindergarten!

This morning I woke Sam up at 6:55. Her ride was coming at 7:45...plenty of time, right? WRONG! She changed her clothes 3 times before coming downstairs at 7:44. So I sent her off with a muffin which she only took one bite of and gave it back to me. She wouldnt walk out the door without brushing her hair either. I told her to do it the car but the cute nieghbor boy was taking her so she wanted it brushed! Wow, I am soo looking forward to those middle school years!

Packing

I am slowly packing up the house. I have most of the pictures off the wall and wrapped up. All of the wine glasses and such. plates and just stuff that we have that I guess we need but not for the next few weeks. It's amazing how much stuff we accumulate, pasta makers, Cuisinarts, so many bowls but I do use most of it jsut not all the time. I have gotten rid of a ton of stuff and I will probably be getting rid of more. Tonight the kids helped me pack 4 big boxes of their stuffed animals and some toys that they can 'live' without for the next few weeks. They wanted to keep packing which I would love to do but I think since we do have 16 days I better not pack up all their toys or I will be unpacking in a few days when they start saying they want this or that. They are so excited to move!

Papa rocks!

Sunday night I did the stupidest thing, I put potato peels down the disposal. The first time I did it was liKR 7 years ago and it was a huge disaster and against my better judgment I did it again! Thankfully my dad fixed it and boy did I mess it up! He had to unscrew pipes and everything! Then yesterday he fixed the upstairs bathroom sinks that needed parts. The people that owned the house before us were foreclosed on and they took everything they could. Instead of taking THE whole faucet like they did in the master bath they just unscrewed the drain thingy and pulley. When we first moved in Jon and I searched to find the parts and never found them. We pretty much gave up because we decided the house would have been flooded a few times if they could stop it. The renters want it fixed and Papa found the parts at the habitat for humanity restore for a buck! He had to do a little Jerry rigging but it works! I love my daddy-o, he rocks!
