New Swing

Well my hands are sore! And here is why!

Our friend John made us this disk swing for our BIG tree out front! It is the neighborhood hit!!! I spent MANY hours out there this weekend with the kids lined up and I would pull them and let 'em fly! They LOVED it......and now my hands are sore :)

Sarahs Room

OK so its been almost a YEAR since we moved in! When we moved in we painted the girls rooms and I vowed to decorate them super cute! Stephanie and Emily's was easy because I has almost everything....Sarah's on the other hand has taken me the whole past year to "decide" I knew I wanted pink and brown and something that went with her baby bed set that I LOVE so much (even though she isn't in it anymore).....so found some dots that I love and Steph helped me and we made letters to go on her big empty wall.....now all that's left is to get Grandma to make her a quilt and curtains :) Here are the pics!

REALLY????

So we got a Wii....I know we finally joined the rest of America.......partially because we can play netflix on it! :) We downloaded the original Super Mario game....it is sooooo awesome! Its amazing how you remember from 15+ years ago where all the hidden blocks are and where the extra guys are, ect... but yet I cant remember where I put my keys! LOL

Anyways so we are playing along and of course Bob is 100% committed in his game! I am sitting on the couch with my "ahh watch out" or "no go the other way" ect.....and I kid you not at one point I said something and he says

"MOM stop......"

YES he did!!! HE called me his mom!!!! We all looked at each other and started laughing harder than we have in awhile!!!!!!! His claim is that the game took him back to when him mom use to talk to him while he was playing!!! LOL My claim is that when he plays Nintendo he clearly is a 7 year old!

OUR new kitchen Bench

So we got a built in bench in our kitchen! I love it! It is a great place for the kids to sit....no chairs to fall off of or tip over.....It has storage and matches our kitchen cabinets great! Here are some pics!!!!

Stephs Letter

Ok so Sarah has been sick and a few nights ago was her worst night, she had
a fever and was throwing up.....the next day I was up in Stephanie's room
and found this note....

It reads

"let my sister be better by tomorrow AMEN G-D p.s. for my sisters health"

I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee.....

Ok so driving to school to pick up Stephanie the other day. Emily in her
ever so adorable timid voice says ever so calm "mom, there's a bee in my
seat" to which I the all knowing mom reply "NO honey I am sure its not a
bee....its probably just a.....OH CRAP THAT IS A BEE!!!!"
(keep in mind I am DRIVING)

So I QUICKLY grab the nearest thing....Sprouts add....and SMASH the bee that
is unknowingly lounging an inch from my kids leg....took a couple smashes,
but we got him.....thanks to a red light.

Scooped him off her seat, light changed green and off we went! I turned
around (my heart pounding) and said to Emily "whew...you ok?" she says ever
so calm "yeah I didn't even get stung...thanks mom" Followed by "um I don't
want to put my leg in the bee goo" and rode the rest of the ride with her
leg up all sideways in her seat!
