This past week has been jammed packed. I had to go somewhere every night last week which made me exhausted! I also hosted Bunco last night so I spent all morning cleaning up and getting ready and it really didn't look very presentable! Thank goodness all of these ladies are good friends of mine and didn't care that my house is a pit! My brother and his family and our family was going to head to the cabin at the lake today to start getting it ready for the summer. However, it has been pouring rain all day. I have been such a bum. I skipped church (since I already thought I wouldn't be here), I did take a shower but I am right back in jammies, I have played on the computer and watched TV. Oh I did do laundry but I don't think of that really as anything since I do it constantly anyway!
Friday night my sister-in-law, Jill and I took the boys and my nieces to Disney on Ice. It was really cute. We were only five rows up so we had great seats and got to see everything. I almost took Addy with me but I am so glad I didn't, it would have scared her I think. We didn't eat before we got there and I told the boys since it was a special night out they could get something at the show. The first thing they saw was snow cones. I thought what they hey, it's a night out right??? I waved down the concession guy and told him 2 snow cones. The boys dug in and I was told "That will be $20." WHAT??? Seriously $20 for two tiny things of ice??? The boys are already started so they were theirs to keep. The guy told me that it came in a really cool Dash cup with an Elastagirl spoon, well worth $10! Yeah right! Oh well, we headed to Burger King after the show!! We really enjoyed it, Avery loved to watch Frozone and Cooper liked when we told the bad robots where to go by pointing the directions for them. Cooper said it was fun because "I'm not allowed to point because it's rude, right mom?" He's too funny!
Cooper also came home from school this week with his Shook Track Pack shirt. Kids earn a shirt by running laps at recess. Once they have run 26 miles they earn a shirt! It's voluntary for kids to do during their first recess. I'm so proud of him way to go Cooper!
Addy was playing on her Little Mermaid car this morning, she's too funny. When she first got it she would scream every time we put her on it. Now she just plays the music and laughs. She can even move it on the hardwood floor. Backwards, but she can move it by herself!
A family in our community lost their nine year old boy today. He had been in Cooper's class before so this is going to be tough. He was riding a dirt bike and I believe was hit by a tractor trailer. I don't know full details, but please pray for Dalton "Petey" Baldwin's family.
This was one of those jam packed weekends for us! Friday night I headed to Springfield with the boys and our friend Landry and went to a birthday party for Kellan. They had so much fun jumping in the inflatables, playing air hockey, video games and stuffing themselves with pizza, cake and ice cream. They even had a rope/ladder type contraption too.This is Kellan's Dad, Joe, trying it out, needless to say, he fell! Doesn't Kellan have the best dimples ever???
Saturday morning Jarika had to meet the bus to go to a choir competition. Utah and I headed out shortly there after. We went to Camdenton, it is such a pretty place very close to Lake of the Ozarks. I really wanted to go to the outlet mall but it just wasn't in the budget, oh well. It was a really nice drive and the choir did really well. The concert choir scored a 2 and the honors choir got a 1 so yeah! This is Jarika nd her friend Erica, they have been buddies since kindergarten.
Saturday was gorgeous, in the upper sixties and sunny. It was really windy but still a very nice day. Today it was overcast and rainy and the temps were dropping all day. We are now under a freeze watch until Wednesday and they are calling for snow tonight! This morning the boys had to sing at church. I couldn't get a good picture of the both of them because Mrs. Karen kept standing in front of Avery :) so here they are before they sang!
This afternoon was the big church Easter Egg hunt too. Cooper didn't want to go because it was so cold. So just Avery and I took off, I didn't want to get Addy out in it either. Fortunately they hid the eggs inside so Cooper should have gone but it's okay, Avery shared his loot!
I have seen so many gains with Addy these past couple of weeks. I am finally seeing my little girl again. Her last illness really threw her for a loop. I am so thankful she is doing better! I caught this video on my digital camera so it isn't the best but it recorded what I wanted to show. Addy obviously has a particular song she likes, can you tell? Sorry it only shows her back, she wouldn't do it if she knew the camera was on, typical huh?
Cooper also came home from school this week with his Shook Track Pack shirt. Kids earn a shirt by running laps at recess. Once they have run 26 miles they earn a shirt! It's voluntary for kids to do during their first recess. I'm so proud of him way to go Cooper!
