Bilibo

This is what I toy I was telling Megan and Hallie about. I ordered one for Jaxon and Katie. I think they will have fun playing with them. Jaxon saw the video and was really excited about all the things he could do with it!

We are Thankful

We have had a great Thanksgiving holiday! We had all the family together for a great meal at Jerry and Amanda's house. The kids had a great time playing together. We are so lucky to all live so close to each other! We are thankful that Bobby and Hallie do not mind driving the distance - even when the bridge is closed!
We are Thankful for having family over during the sad sad LSU game yesterday. We were thankful we were not at the game!

Things kids know

Yesterday while we were at the Dr for Katie- Jaxon said Mommy I know how to spell Wyatt (who is a friend from school) Now I knew could recognize his name but I did not know he could spell it - and he did correctly with out asking what comes next!!
now his spelling voicab is up to 5 words that I know of - I don't know if that is good but I am pretty excited about that!
Katie's check up went fine - she is 23 lbs 9 oz (between 25 & 50%) and she is 32 inches (a little under 50%). We go back in 3 weeks for Jaxon's

End of a weekend

This weekend is over and it was a good family one. Saturday we cleaned out of garage and got rid of all our garage sale stuff that we never got around to having. It is a shame how much stuff we donated. We watched LSU win - at least this time is was not a heart attach waiting to happen game! Katie was so cute yelling "GO GO GO" with me. She would come running yelling it.
Then today we did some shopping - I am done with Jaxon's b-day now we can focus on Christmas shopping. We started to get our stuff from Jerry's house. Yes that is right we still have stuff at Jerry's and my Mom's really sad to admit that since we have been here since July but is it true. We plan on getting more of it on Thanksgiving Day since we will be over there and Erik is not working (days at least)
That is about it. not too fun but very productive weekend.

wednesday

OK let see how did today go - it sucked. OK it is better now that I am with my own kids. Really makes me happy to have my children.
The morning started with a 50 min drive - yes that is right is normal takes me 20 but because of the time of day it was 50!!
The one"friend" pinched another "friend so hard he broke the skin on her arm.
snack went Well. Even KK is getting use to seeing me so she was not upset when we were in the snack room at the same time.
Now we are in the class room. we had some fighting but it was alright we had to take turns with the play pizza and the bost but besides that we did alright.
circle time was alright besides the friends did not listen and were rolling around while the teacher was trying to do her morning lesson.
The to the gym to practice for the Thanksgiving feast on Friday. their intrest was lost and we stoped practicing and ran after some balls - the teacher in charge actually had another class leave and skip their practice so we could get some of the entergy out! Then we had a baby fight. yeah that was fun!
I had to remove one friend from the group no less then 5 times today for hitting, pushing and kicking.
The funniest part of the day was when the lead teacher said as I was walking out the door - I think today went well! They had a good day!!!!

IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT A GOOD DAY?

any way I think I am the laugh of the other teachers - I am asked all day how am I doing and to hang in there. One actaully asked me if I needed the money that bad or did I not know what I was getting into! I just smiled and said I really don't need money that bad!

So we will see how tomorrow goes. I am here to help till the Assistant can come back or I start drinking when I get home - today I actually smiled when I realized I had some to mix my drink in!! anyway I am done bitching.
I am not unhappy with job just the kids! but that is alright it is not forever. I know I should not bitch because I did do this to myself!

1st day as temp

Today was my first day as a temp for an assistant at the preschool. For it only being 4 hours it is a really long day! The class is between 11 and 16 "friends"
They are a very spirited group. OK really only 4 take up most of your time reminding them what is expected. No hitting, pinching, kicking - you know the little things. I don't know how long I will be doing this. The Assistant is helping her mother while she is ending her battle with cancer. so for her sake only I hope I have this for a while.
Last week I was so busy with taken pictures of Erik's rescue team compete against 4 other Shell teams. It was really fun. Erik was the tied up and droped 4 floors in a basket. That was a little weird to see because you really have to trust the team! We had fun but is was really long 13 hour days.

off to bed yes that is right 9:15 and I am going to bed!

Claire's b-day cake

This was a fun cake to make once I figured out what size to make the cake so the pieces would fit. So when I make it again it will not take as long!
Happy Birthday C and M - very busy birthday weekend!

Oh and how about those Tigers - you can not say that the games are boring!
