Beautiful Day

We woke up to sun shining and I knew I had to clean the house and then take the kids to the park. We went to the park that we seen in Palouse at first the girls didn't like it because there wasn't as much to do as at the park in Potlatch but they still had lots of fun as did I. I played on the teeter totter with them, swung in the swing with Jaedyn and we walked around the park it was a great time together as a family and it was so warm I couldn't believe it.

Girls Night Out

So, I finally had a girls night out it has been a very long time since I have had one and it was fun. First we went and seen New Moon which I have already seen once before but believe me if you haven't seen this movie before it is one that you could watch again and again (Jacob) and still be very interested in it despite the people behind me that kept kicking my seat it was a steal of a deal for only $1. We got the kiddie pack of popcorn, soda and candy which was really a nice size.
After the movie we went to a restaurant in Lewiston called Zany's. We ordered our food and just my luck there was a hair in mine so I immediately pushed to the side and waited for the waitress to come back. She took my food and brought me a new plate with no apology or anything I was very disappointed in this usually they are more apologetic than this or even offer you a discount of some kind and well I just didn't feel like asking for the manager or anything so I just let it go and filled out a comment card.
Can't wait to go out again I know for sure we will be going to see Eclipse when it comes out in June. Thanks for a great evening Leslie can't wait to do it again soon.

Town

I get to go to town today with a new friend of mine we are celebrating our birthday's. Leslie's was on the 21st and mine was on the 19th. So we are going to go and watch New Moon and then we are going to go and have dinner somewhere. We haven't decided where to have dinner yet because we thought we would just drive around and see what we find instead of planning on a certain place. I can't wait to have a nice relaxing afternoon with another adult. See you soon Leslie.

Sick Kids

What an evening we had last night. Madyson came home from school complaining that her chest hurt every time she breathed. So I continued making dinner because there was no way I was going to load up all the kids and sit in what they call Quik Care for hours. And of course the night this happens the husband ends up working late so as soon as he got home Madyson and I drove to Moscow. There was 1 person in the waiting room when we got there so I was thinking it was actually going to be very quick but I am pretty sure we must have say there for about 45 minutes before we got called back to the room and then we say in the room for 15 before the doctor came in. She was in there for like 5 minutes and then off to get x-rays we go. We didn't get home until after 9 and we left around 6. I just hate it when my kids are sick, you know they are hurting and there really is nothing you can do for them.

School

Just found out my oldest is eligible to be in the gifted and talented program at school next year, this is so exciting and she is so excited to learn all these new things. So I have to admit when the teacher called and told me she was eligible for the G/T program I had no idea what is was and silly me I didn't even think to really ask the teacher what is was either but luckily Madyson brought home some paper work on it, good thing she is so smart because obviously I am not.

Preschool

So, today for Lyndze's preschool we are going to learn about Touch.
First we are going to walk around the house and she will tell me what she can't touch because she could get hurt by touching it or playing with it. Then we are going to finger paint. This also makes a great keepsake. Then we are going to make a turtle, and each part of his shell will have a different textured item glued to it like bark, wax paper, cotton balls, corn kernels and double sided tape and tin foil. Then we are going to learn some letters today, PQR. And then she will make a picture with stickers. And still no park today the weather is just not warm enough.

Town

You know every time I go to town with my kids (which is pretty much every time I go to town lol) I always tell myself they are going to be good. Well today they definitely proved me wrong.

We walked into the store and no joke we were in there maybe 3 minutes and I was already wondering why in the heck I torture myself like this, why not just wait until Wes gets home and then go to town and get what I need to get done DONE. Oh yeah, thats right when he gets home I have dinner to cook, baths to give, homework to get done and the list goes on. So needless to say it was quite the afternoon in town today.

Rainbow Brite

Did you know that they are bringing Rainbow Brite back? I didn't I just discovered this and boy she has changed alot. Anyways I entered a giveaway to get a CD that contains different things on it @ http://momstart.com/2010/02/brining-back-rainbow-bright-with-an-activity-cd-giveaway/ My girls would love to get this maybe yours would too.

Preschool

Today for preschool with Lyndze she is going to learn about Smell. She is going to smell some different things, like cinnamon sticks, flowers, juice and explain what she is smelling. Then we are going to do a couple art projects, painting a Popsicle and then eating one for snack, we are going to make some paper flowers, she is going to learn the numbers 1-8 which really the only ones she still has to learn are 6 and 8, and then she is going to get to play with flaked coconut just like you would with sand but it smells really good. And if the weather holds up we will be going to a new park we seen in Palouse.

But we can't start any of this until the Direct TV guy gets done here today.

And after all this the girls will get home from school and then we have to rush and get Madyson ready for dance and this off to Pullman and today is the day the parents can watch so hopefully my little miss Lyndze will actually sit and watch.WE WILL SEE!!!!

Preschool

So a part of my crazy life is doing a preschool session with my daughter Lyndze everyday. Today we are learning about our taste buds. She just tasted a piece of unsweetened chocolate, a salty cracker, a cookie and had a taste of lemon juice (if you could have seen her face tasting the lemon juice you would be crying with laughter right now). Now we are getting ready to make a cookie jar book and then we are going to bake some sugar cookies with hot pink frosting. Which is also a learning project because she will have to help make them, clean up and also count themYUMMY!

New to this

So this is the first post I have ever done on a blog of my very own. I thought I would just use this to keep family updated on what is happening with the family since they all live so far away and also I love to enter giveaways from the blogs that I follow so I thought I could use this to get people to read their blogs also.
