My MIL sent me this email that was forwarded to her:
Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public
parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the
rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home,
it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me [...]
- Kenny is having a great time at kindergarten. We had his back-to-school night last Wednesday and it sounds like he can do the majority of the things they want to accomplish by the end of the year. He’s already reading and knows his numbers. We have to work on counting to 100 by 5’s [...]
Oh, the memories this brings back…
Has it really been 9 years since I graduated college? It feels more like 5, max.
Kenny is raising money for his school by selling those entertainment coupon books. If anyone is interested, they are $20 for the KC area. There are 5 coupons for $5 off at Price Chopper if you spend $50 or $75 (and seriously, who doesn’t do that anyways) so you make your money right back. The [...]
1. We’re not morning people.
I am a wake up at 7:30 person, not a wake up at 6:45 person. Kenny is the same way. Except for the first day, we’ve had to fight to get him out of bed. It was so bad this morning, he now has to take a nap this afternoon (instead [...]
Do any of you have an account with Good Reads? If you do, let me know. I just started one today (although I have no idea how often I’ll keep this up to date).
When Kenny was younger, I would always sing Carwash to him while soaping him up in the bathtub. You know:
At the car wash
Talkin’ about the car wash yeah!
Come on and sing it for me car wash.
Car wash yeah!
(Work and work) Well those cars never seem to stop comin’.
(Work and work) Keep those rags and machines hummin’
(Work [...]
Kenny had nap time from 1:00-3:00 until he was 4. That didn’t mean that he necessarily slept but he had to stay in bed. When he turned 4, that time turned into quiet time. He can pretty much do anything he wants for those 2 hours as long as it isn’t too loud and he [...]
Like it says, Kenny had a great first day of kindergarten. We were going to walk the 2 blocks to school this morning but unfortunately, it looked like this out:
Instead, we hopped in my car and drove to school. For the first week of school, Mrs. B asked that we walk the kids into the lunchroom, [...]
Kenny,
I cannot believe that you start kindergarten today. I’m sure I’ll say something similar to this at the beginning of every school year but I really mean it this year. You have so much to learn and so many friends to meet in the upcoming years. I’m so excited for you.
If you have any doubts [...]
Eric, Kenny and I had our conference with Kenny’s kindergarten teacher this morning.
Mrs. B had the kids put their supplies away, showed them around the room and then gave them an idea of what their day would be like. While the kids were busy with her, we filled out the remaining paperwork and paid our school fees.
Kenny even [...]
We just went up to Kenny’s school to look at the class lists that were posted today. We already knew that he was going to have Mrs. B because she’s the only teacher for half day kindergarten but we wanted to find out who the kids in his class were going to be. There are [...]
Look what my husband surprised me with:
I saw it down at Crown Center and thought it would be great to use when he’s not home and there’s a spider in the house. No way am I vacuuming it up with my normal vacuum – what if it didn’t die from the suction and crawled out [...]
Oh, My Fitness Coach, how I’ve missed you.
For a while it seemed like I was doing this game all the time so I took a break from it and tried to branch out a little more. I also borrowed Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009 from the library so I spent some time testing that Wii game out. I’ll get to [...]
Happy 30th birthday Eric and welcome to the club!
I was going to throw a surprise party for Eric but I just couldn’t decide on what group of friends to invite (and there was no way I was going to be able to invite them all). I finally broke down and just asked Eric what he [...]
We went down to Crown Center for the Free Friday Night Flicks. We ate dinner at Fritz’s and then let the kids play in the fountains before The Wizard of Oz started.
If you look hard, you can see both Will and Kylie.
Then yesterday, we took Mac up to the Pooch Plunge. He didn’t really like swimming in [...]
Yesterday, after the pool and some down time, we all took the kids to Worlds of Fun. We all had a great time! And just for the record, Will and Kenny both agreed that The Fury of the Nile was their favorite ride of the day.
The kids driving the adults in the taxis
All of the [...]
My niece and nephew are in town. We all went up to the pool yesterday and I was able to get these shots before I dropped my camera.
Will and Kenny spent the majority of the time on the slides. Kenny even went down the big, straight slide.
Will on the diving boards
Kenny going off the diving [...]
I broke my camera yesterday.
I was taking pictures at the pool when I dropped the stupid thing on the pool deck. I’m not chalking this up as a loss because I have absolutely HATED my camera for the last few months. I would use my camera a few times and then the low battery light would [...]
