The Longest Sunday Ever!!

Jon had a day long tournament yesterday at Cranbrook. Now, I am all for supporting him in his sports, but 4 games in one day?? His first game was at 8am and he had to be there at 7am. We live over an hour away from Cranbrook which meant leaving our house on a Sunday morning at 5:45 am. I don't even leave that early for work! So, we head to Cranbrook, the sun is shining and it is warming up nicely...Then....the sun goes away and it drops about 20 degrees in 3 minutes. We all wore tank tops and shorts... BIG MISTAKE. After freezing for an hour hoping to get the sun back I head over to buy us all hoodies. I was shocked at the good deal on got on them! I know I had checked the weather that morning and it said sunny and 80. WTF???? Finally we got our sunny and 80 at about 3:30 in the afternoon. So, needless to say, 7 and 1/2 hours later and 50 bucks lighter, we had warmth and sunshine! His last game was at 5pm. Ugh!! He and team did well though. They won 2 and they lost 2. That is good for his team.....

Now it is Monday and a whole week ahead! Off we go!!

Megan 5th Birthday Party!!!

We celebrated Megan's birthday on Saturday with the family. What a blast Megan had. It was sunny and warm (thank goodness), so everyone could be outside. I still cannot believe she is 5 already. On Wednesday of this week she graduates from preschool. Earlier in the day Megan had a soccer game scored the winning goal for her team! Yeah Meg!! That makes 5 goals for this season... What an all-star!

Happy 5th Birthday Megan!!!

Today my baby is 5 years old. I cannot believe it. Before I know it, it will be September and she will be getting on a bus for Kindergarten. I get misty eyed just thinking about it. It seems as if she was just born.

She called me on the phone a little while ago and asked me what time she was born. Now....what would make a 5 year old wonder what time she was born? It stunned me...

Megan: Mom, what time was I born?
Me: 9:27 at night
Megan: Mom...then I am NOT 5 yet, it is not nighttime
Me: Yes, you are b/c today is your birthday
Megan: Mom, what time is my party today?
Me: Megan, your party is tomorrow, but your birthday is today
Megan: So, I am not 5 til tomorrow
Me: No....today you are 5, tomorrow we have your party with your presents
Megan: Mom...I want waffles

LOL...I was dying laughing b/c she went from birthday stuff to all of a sudden wanting waffles. She is so priceless... We are so blessed to have her in our lives. She makes me smile everyday all day. I love you baby!

Beauty Parlor Megan

I noticed the girls were being very quiet last night. I walked into their room and found them actually playing nicely and not fighting. I was shocked! Megan has converted her Dora kitchen into her beauty parlor and her bed is her manicure/pedicure station. So cute! (Ignore the beyond messy room, I just had it cleaned, HONEST!) They even created a sign outside of their doorway on a dry erase board for people to sign in. I was very impressed!

Hair do time! Sylist Megan is in!!

Some Cute Pics.....

This is some cute random pics....I know, I know, there are a few Christmas pics in there, but let's think Spring!!

What a Long Night....

Can you say sleep deprivation???!! Poor Megan was up all night getting sick. I never knew that I could get so much laundry done between 12am and 5am. I also figured out that I can shampoo carpets in the middle of the night and no one wakes up! Thank goodness by the time I left for work this morning she was sleeping, finally, and her fever seems to have broken. I hate when kids are sick. They are so helpless.

So now, I sit here at work, bored out of my mind and sucking down Diet Cokes like they are going out of style to try and stay awake. Hopefully there will be sleep to be had in my house tonight!

Beautiful Weekend!!

What a gorgeous weekend it was... We all even got some sun. Yesterday I was able to go and buy my hanging flowers and my flats of flowers. I was thrilled!! The nursery I bought them at has a wonderful selection this year. I felt like I walked around aimlessly forever, that is, until the kids started fighting anyways. I love this nursery I go to by my house, the prices are low and the selection is huge.

Saturday all 3 kids had their sports. Megan got yet another goal and another shot hit the post. I am so proud!! Taylor had soccer and scored 3 goals, shocking I know, LOL... Jon had lacrosse and they lost, another shocking thing...LOL... At least he takes losing every one of his games as no big deal. He just loves all of the playing time he has been getting.

Well...It is Monday, I cross my fingers that this week goes quickly. This coming weekend looks like it is going to be gorgeous also. 4 more days!!

Taylor doing what??? I guess lacrosse was boring her!!

A Busy Week in Sports...

Well...I have good news on the sporting front. Let's see, Megan scored 2 goals at her game on Saturday (Yeah Meg!!), but they lost 3 to 2. Taylor had her first softball game of the season last night and hit a grand slam in the 1st inning! Yowza!! It was awesome, what a great way to start her season. She also pitched the last inning of the game and no one scored on her. Jon has a lacrosse game tonight, so I will update on his game tomorrow. I have many pictures of all the kids and their sports that I will get on here real soon. Have a good night everyone!!

The Best Sound

As I was getting ready for work this morning, I heard the most precious sound. My daughter laughing in her sleep. It made me stop and realize just how big she is getting and how much I am missing her being a baby. I just wonder what was so funny in her dreams. I asked her this morning when I called home what was so funny and of course she couldn't remember. But she thought it was hilarious that she was laughing out loud while asleep. That precious sound has brought a smile to my face all day long. Have a good day everyone!
