Cookies are taking over

our lives!!! I have been so busy lately because of the Girl Scout cookies, I am so lost. Erin is such a trooper, last weekend we went to a Girl Scout Art event, then rushed over to do a cookie booth and then went over to a Boy Scout spaghetti dinner that one of the girl scout moms was in charge of for her son who is in Boy Scouts.

This week we are working a booth on Saturday, I am praying that we sell ALL the rest of our cookies!

Want some?????

It's Cookie Time!!

Get your taste buds ready everyone, it is that time of year again, GIRL SCOUT COOKIE TIME!!!

Right now I am looking at 112 cases of Girl Scout Cookies piled in our living room! How tempting!!

Back to school!

Last week was our first week back to school, I think the kids really missed it. Everyone had a good week, Erin had done all her literature homework so she was happy that she had no homework.

Erin also started soccer Saturday, she really seemed to enjoy it. There is a practice on Thursday, I will try and take some pictures, it is in the evening so I don't know how easy that will be.

See already I am slacking on this....sigh!

Not much is really going on around here. I have been off with the kids since December 22nd. We haven't really done anything extrodinary, we did go and spend some of the gift cards that Erin and Matthew got for Christmas.
Erin spent all of hers and was really excited that she was able to afford a MP3 player, she loves it. Matthew got some stuff but really does not need anything so he has some gift cards stashed to used at a later time.

My angel Matthew has been displaying some really new traits, he just loves to beat up his sister, lately he will hit, pinch and throw things at her. I hope that changes when he gets back to school on Tuesday, or I guess I will be getting some calls from them....uh-oh! Boys are sooooooo different.

We have been cleaning out the kids rooms and taking stuff to the consignment shop so that we can shop some more!!!

I did some decorating in my bathroom, just some knick knack kind of stuff.

Well sadly that is all in my exciting life to date. I have to go clean the bathrooms now....oh I bet you wish you were me!!!!

Love ya!

Happy New Year!

Well the New Year is here!!!

We rang in the New Year with a great dinner out last night, we went to Riggins Crab House (thanks Jim for recommending it). Tim was thrilled he got all you can eat Garlic Crabs..YUMMY!!
We came home and watched the New Years Eve shows on T.V. and we all almost made it to midnight last night, Matthew pooped out on us around 11:30pm, I was so surprised that he stayed awake until then. Erin did great she made it all the way! Me, I made it too, but was happy to hit the pillow, too old to stay up that late!!!

Christmas



On our way....almost, there was an accident that tied us up for a bit.


Matthew hanging out with Grandpa.
