A car can fit in the garage. Wierd!

So yesterday (of course after soccer) Mike and I decided to attack the garage. It took a long time but..............we can now park the van in the garage! You can't imagine the excitement. I absolutely hate the winter. And scraping off the car has to be the absolute worst thing. My kids will be glad they don't have to do it anymore. Mike worked very very hard and I appreciate it. I am so going to love parking in the garage this winter. Thanks Mike! Normally I would blog a picture of our achievement however, the car is extremely dirty. My next challenge, cleaning the car.

Come on Baby you can do it!

We had Sagan the other night for just a little while and my girls thought it would be fun to teach him how to crawl. They tormented that baby for almost an hour. I am sure he was exhausted when he went home that night. They were trying to get him to crawl after his Binky. That poor kid is a determined Baby he never gave up. He tried and tried and tried. It was the cutest thing I have seen. He did get a little sick of it though you can imagine an hour of scooting your body across the floor, to find out you have been sent back to the other side of the room to try it all over again. I am sure he wore the belly of his P.J.'s out. At the end he started to whimper just enough to get the girls to give him his Binky. He got the Binky and gave a great big smile. We love having Callee's boys at our house.

Carry me to the car? I am wheezing.

So today I recieved a phone call from Thaddeus at school he called to let me know he went to recess and couldn't stop coughing. Then in the classroom he couldn't quit coughing again. So he was sent to the office. I said to the secretary that we would be right there. Course right there for us is 30 min. plus. So I called his Dad whose office is a little closer to home than mine. Although I am sure I could have made it faster than he did. (mommy anxiety makes you go faster Dad's don't get that.) I quickly called the Dr. and got him an appointment. So as we sat at the Doctors office today. The doctor stated that he didn't like the way Thad's chest sounded. He said that he heard Wheezing. Well that is all Thad had to hear. He quickly turned to me and said Mom carry me to the car, I am wheezing. It was too funny. I can see this being an excuse for a really long time. And yes, I do still carry my 6 year old and plan on carrying him as long as he'll let me. He's my baby. Well Thad is fine he is just on an inhaler and all the fun stuff you do when you have asthma. But I love the funny things Thad says. He keeps us smiling.

Clean Clean Clean

Ok so I think I have officially come to the end of any sanity I thought I may have had. You know that life is just plain to crazy with you spend 8 hours cleaning your home and you feel like you just had a day off. I know I sense the eye rolls but it's true. The only thing I had to do today was Morgan' soccer game. And then I couldn't believe it I had the whole rest of the day to spend cleaning my house. I was so excited (if you had seen my house you would be excited I finally cleaned it too). I am not sure I actually should have admitted it took 8 hours to clean, but it felt great to finally get the house cleaned the way I like it cleaned. The kids try to help, and Mike is really good at the pick up and he does what he can. But it's just not the way I want it so today I was finally able to turn up the country music, and clean clean clean and I feel so relaxed, and it's a very rare event but I have no anxiety. I haven't felt this good in a really long time. There is truly very little that compares to waking up in the morning and having everthing in it's place. And being able to actually get out of the bedroom with out stepping on clothes, toys, or whatever is laying in the way. I am sure it will be short lived but I am going to relish in it while I can. afterall, the kids will be awake in 8 hours.

I am tagged, your next......

1. I cant' eat a sandwich with out potatoe chips on it. And only certain chips will do for certain sandwiches. I have to have frenchfries on my hamburger or I can't eat it.

2. Ketchup ordered from a fast food restuarant is better than the ketchup in the fridge at home. Ketchup is required for eating steak.

3. The only line dance that I can remember is the electric slide. That was such a cool dance in it's day.

4. I will not drink out of a public drinking fountain. I have a theory as to why you always find them outside the restrooms. Think about it. It's totally gross.

5. I got caught steeling highway barricades.

6. My heater has been on in my office for the last month.

7. It took 6 pregnancy tests to convince me that I was pregnant with my first daughter.

It's now up to you:

No Fear

Ok so with these three ready to defend who would be scared of anything but them. Callee must have been feeling very adventurous. She willingly took these 3 to the school halloween carnival. Thad had so much fun. He talked for hours about the carnival and all the fun he had. When I asked him his favorite part it was a toss up between hanging with Ethan and Mason and climbing the big rock wall (he claims to have made it up 7 ft.). He truly felt like Batman that night. Thank you Callee for taking him your are always at the top of Thad's list for coolest person ever!

Ok, So I am no Martha.........

I won't make it on the Martha Stewart Show, or in her magazine but this failed pathetic attempt at a cute creative cake for the school carnival was definitly all worth it as Thad stood next to me and said "Mom you are doing and awesome job. " I am not sure what the heck I was thinking. I don't cook. And I am definitely not creative. Yet I find myself agreeing to donate to the bake sale and the cake walk. Someone shoot me!
