Here comes the weekend

Hmmm, first on the agenda.....sleeping in. We're still trying to catch up from all the traveling we've done recently. It will be nice to have a low key weekend.

The first 2 days of school went relatively well. Both Wes and Kelly had to make a change to their schedules which are hopefully now all resolved. Wes is now in WRTV all days. He hosted sports today, click here to watch.http://westranchtv.com/2008/08/15/west-ranch-tv-august-15-2008/ His part starts at 8:13. Just a bunch of tryout announcements, but he's looking more comfortable in front of the camera. Kelly is now in a ceramics art class for her elective. I'm sure she will have alot of fun with that. Chelsie had a splendid first day but today ended a bit early due to hives. Darn recess!! She got a bit overheated running around with friends...how could she resist? Benadryl and a cool shower later and she's back to normal. I'm settling into this new routine of 6 hours of uninterrupted time. Tuesday is being dubbed scrapbooking day--anyone who's interested give me a call. I was looking through old pictures today and thought I'd leave you with a picture of the kids taken in 2004. My how time flies.

April, I am planning on scrapbooking Monday and Wednesday mornings in September when Ellie is in preschool (those are the days I don't have to drive her). I haven't worked on my scrapbooks for a loooooong time! I figure I have twice a week for about 5 weeks to work on them until the baby comes. Then I will fall way behind again! =(
Although I am super happy to be having a baby, I'll admit I am jealous of your six hours a day of being kid-free!; August 16, 2008 at 7:00 PM

Quotable Quips and Laughable Life

I decided that I wanted to add a small section with little things that my kids have said or done over the years that I never want to forget and I think are worth sharing. Unfortunately I was much better at writing these things down a bit late in the game....Chelsie steals the show here a bit. If only I could remember all those things I thought I'd never forget. I hope you take my challenge to write down all those things you hope to pass on one day.

When Chelsie was about 2 she had been jumping on my brand new couch, so I promptly told her to stop jumping on the nice furniture. Her response was very logical. "Then where's the mean furniture?"

While camping in the Sequoias, the entrance sign read, "1 bear incident this week...." Kelly mispronounced it as 1 bear accident....later in the bathroom, Chelsie noticed wet spots on the floor, and announced, "This must be where the bear had the accident."

We had a family home evening on choosing the right, and we thought Chelsie understood but when we asked her she said, "Yes, don't choose the left!"

When Kelly was in the 5th grade, she needed to use the classroom phone to call me. She dialed 9 to get an outside line, then she had to dial 1 because I have a long distance cell phone number, but she accidently hit the 1 twice. When the 911 dispatcher answered she was scared and just hung up. 5 minutes later the front office called the classroom stating that 3 sheriffs had arrived ready to take action and were wanting to know who called and why. Now it was by sheer coincidence that this was a morning that there was a prison breakout, so officers were on high alert. Kelly was embarrassed then, but can laugh about it now!

When Wes was about 4, he used to tell everyone that he was going to marry his friend Elizabeth, and that they were going to have 16 kids, and maybe a car.

When Chelsie was 3 1/2 we told her she needed to learn to spell her name. She responded, "I already know....A L I Z A."
(That was her best friend who taught her)

I was talking with my girls about the weather, and Kelly said, that stupid beaver was wrong, spring is not around the corner. Chelsie then chimed in, it's not a beaver, it's a warthog. Clearly I have failed them.
