No More Teachers, No More Books!


The final paper for school is over!!!  I have checked that off my list of goals for this month.  Woo hoo!  I am completely free!  It is a great feeling.

I didn't get to post yesterday as Liam had an ear infection and we had to take him to the doctor and he is deathly afraid of going to the doctor.  It was not fun, but it also explained why he's been very whiny the past two days before!  An antibiotic and a day later and he is feeling much better now.  I really wish my kids would get a fever with an ear infection.  They never do and it makes it so much harder to tell when they don't feel well.  

By the afternoon, they wanted to go outside and play, so I took them out to ride on their tricycles and play with bubbles.  Their idea of playing with bubbles is I blow the bubbles and they hit them with bats to pop them.  Interesting....  But it got their energy out!

Cutie-pies!

Your bubble game sounds a bit dangerous or maybe that's just my crazy kids.

we had to divide and conquer this afternoon - D played swingball with K and I played our version of "croquet" with C to get them moving and working on those ball skills :)

Ohmygoodness! How big they've grown!!

We've found hiking as our new energy outlet. They love to explore and trek through the woods, especially if there is any sort of water around. I'm going to have to invest in mini camelbaks soon!

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
