The Grinch

He is hanging in my car off the rear view mirror. It is official. Christmas is here. Merry Christmas folks.

Gobble Gobble!

Well, once again we find there to be no more room in the fridge after we jam it with all the goodies we want to make for Thanksgiving dinner. Mom and Dad had come down to see Tori's big Grandparents play, and have stayed through until Thanksgiving. The girls have been playing around the house and I have been taking naps with the kids since I am off from work. My job has found itself on the front page of the newspaper with some negative happenings, which I am happy to not be a part of. I have my own real life drama in the house, why would I need more?
Zachie is so busy talking I can't believe he is only one. He seems to be really smart and a handful. Zoe Bear is all grown up as well. She just turned three. Tori seems to be busy wanting attention all the time. We just can't seem to give enough around this joint.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Christmas Thief

This weekend, James and I took the kids to Chuck E Cheese. BEWARE! We arrived, and we put all our stuff on the table. I went to the salad bar, and James turned around to put Zach on the car ride that takes your picture with Chucky. It snaped the picture. I arrived back from the salad bar and his wallet was gone. He thought I took it with me to the salad bar. We went to the manager. James sent me to the women's bathroom to look in it. As I was going in a man with an LSU hat and shirt was going into the bathroom. I went back and told James to look again in the men's bathroom, someone had just gone in. James found his wallet under the trash bag. His wedding ring, 500 in cash and some migrane medicine was gone. The robber left his credit cards, and his driver license. We suspected the man I saw go into the bathroom. We waited 2 hours for the cops. Meanwhile we watched the LSU man go in and out of the joint and put something in a truck. He finally left and we got his plates, but he left with some old guy so it was not his truck. The police came and we reported it. I looked at Zach's picture this morning and there was the same man in the background looking through something.....There is the evidence. However, I didn't look at the picture until now- two days later, and there you have it. Christmas Thief.
BE CAREFUL! They are out shopping for Christmas too.

The Holidays are here

The hustle and bustle of the holidays are here again. I totally let the summer come and go. I went back to work in August and here we are already in mid November. Grandma and Grandpa are coming this week to watch Tori in her Grandparents Drama. Aunt Steph will make an apperance too. Zach tuned one in July and Zoe made three in October. We are frying Turkeys this week. Our 1st Christmas tree went up today. One down, one left to go.

For Halloween, Zach was Yoda; Tori and Zoe were mermaids. I was Venus and James was Hercules. Oreo was a pumpkin and Gizmo was a black spider. That would bring me up to date.

Take care all. We just got our Christmas pictures taken. Here are some. Enjoy!

It's not the sky that is falling

It's my teeth! Last night I was brushing my teeth and low and behold a filling popped out. So today I went to the dentist and had it put back in immediately. Of Course, I naturally lost sleep because I think after three kids my body is falling apart on me. I stayed up thinking soon summer will be here and I have yet to decide what kind of suit is going to make me look presentable. I have to get on that next because there is no getting out of going to the pool. It's a requirement.

Today Zachary was bossy and was demanding daddy hold him. I knew it would not take him long to become independent. He and Tori have strong will personalities, whereas Zoe is more of a peacemaker and compromiser. The other two want to take it all and compromise nothing. This will be fun to see unfold as they get older. I better get a whistle and my tennis shoes on so I can be the best referee I can be. At least I have three full bathrooms for three full action packed kids.

6 weeks left of school and I am FREE! I have so many places to go and people to see.

Our First Student of the Month

Victoria will be honored at lunch on April 25. She was picked as the student of the month. She doesn't know it, and will be informed that day at lunch. The Men's Club gets together and will present a certificate, bumper sticker and dessert to her. It will be really exciting. She loves this stuff.
We are proud of her, as we are with all three. We are so grateful for our children. We realize we are extremely lucky.

Easter came and went

WOW! Time flies and I am not keeping up as well as I want to. The kids and I spent a week together shopping and horseback riding. Zach is now crawling. James is in the homestretch for his team. I am just going to have fun and try to not be late to work everyday.

Birthday girl

This weekend Tori will be five. We are having the two horses they ride come out to the house for pony rides. It will be fun.

Not sick after all!

Zoe bear went to the doctor's this morning with daddy. She is fine. He gave her some cough syrup and Zoe is now at school. James and I met for lunch. He is now on his way to Mississippi. We will miss our Daddy. You only get one and we have to share him and make him last.

Friday March 9, 2007

Today James leaves for Miss. Zoe has a bad cough, I will be calling the doctors in just a minute. This weekend, we have an Easter Egg hunt at Church on Sunday and puppy class. Joy! We have all recovered from the virus, all except Zoe bear. This weekend, looks like I am going to tackle the girls closets. Last weekend it was the playroom. Feel free to come join in!
