The weekend

So, i took last week off from blogging, my intention was to get more cleaning done. I did tackle the kitchen drawers and cabinets. And i filled 2 garbage bags! geez! I guess that is what happens when you take a year off. Last year i skipped the big clean. Yesterday we did a really good clutter clean since book club was  hosted at my house. So today...i could either tackle my room (Its a danger zone in there) or relax. Not sure yet...i am a little pooped from yesterday. 6 women and 10 kids! It was a blast though.

So, what have we been up to? Probably the same ol as always. E-man only had one game last week and he hit great again. He likes to switch the side he hits on each inning. So far he can hit right or left handed. So, that's good. I am going to look into tennis for him this summer. He is really intrested. Hopefully the county will offer a camp or the lessons won't be too expensive. I am thinking of putting Dumpling in something this summer. I know she feels left out. When she is 4 she will start dance. Its a Reeve girl tradition (and she is half Reeve). We start it and see how we like it. I did it until high school. I am thinking maybe this summer i might put her in gymnastics for a month to get her active in something. It might help her not be so clumsy.

Saturday was our kitty Valerie's one year birthday! We were crazy people and decided to have a small party. I will try to post some pics soon. We had cheesecake and the kitty loved it. The kids were so excited to celebrate. Now, many people will think we are nuts...but we never claimed to be normal.

Happy Monday!

Google Reader Help

I have been using google reader now to read my blogs. Pretty much b/c it can link up to my phone and i can still read blogs away from home.

Anyway, my question is, do i have to go to the persons page to leave a blog comment or is there a way to do it from google reader?

Thanks for any help!

Sleepovers!

We are doing sleepovers this weekend. Kind of exciting! E-Man is going to his friends house to sleep and Dumpling is having the little sister who is her age come here.  This is not E-Man’s first sleep over at a friends. He has had one or two others i think. This will be Dumpling’s first time having a friend spend the night.

So saturday night, the Hubs and I will have not one 3 year old girl but two! This should be quite the adventure.

So now i wonder, what will these girls do? Play dress up, play kitchen, talk laugh and giggle their hearts out. I think its gonna be fun, but i guess i will let ya know that on Sunday!

(incase your wondering why the name change in the kids, read a couple entries down)

Letters of Intent...a buttload of letters

Its Friday! Which means...its letter time!

Dear Read it Forward Winner,
Its Heather at Ssssssh Mommy's hiding!  I will email you soon for your info :o)

....

Dear Cats,
This week we have had 5 mice since last friday. Thanks....really thanks. Not sure what else to say. And then this morning, you didn't bring me a mouse. Instead you brought me a bird and defeathered in my house. Thanks.....really thanks. It has been a gift giving week, and i think i am happy and don't need any more gifts. Tonight, the garage door will be closed...i will remember and you will no longer have access outside during the night.

Your Mama

....

Dear kids and their common sense,
Yes i love you and i always will. But when does common sense come? Sometimes i just wonder....why do you do those things. Such as this morning, bird feathers everywhere, and Dumpling decides she needs to pick them up. My common sense thought, those feathers are nasty and hers said...this looks like something to play with. Then to E-Man, while putting on his hoodie before school, instead on sliding it on. He set it on his head and repeated "on" over and over. Did he think it would magically go on itself?

Love,
Your Mama

........

Dear Patience,
I am not feeling you today. I had a good nights sleep. Maybe i should have taken more time for me yesterday while the Hubs was home. I didn't though. Today i am feeling rather short on patience. So, hopefully while cleaning up this house....AGAIN....i will find some.

Signed....lack of patience

....

Dear whoever wrote the game times for BBall,
Why do the older kids play earlier game? Why do they gets 6:00 games? Why does my 5 year old get 7:00 games that don't get  us home until almost 9 at night? Not only do i drag my sleepy 5 year old in the door, but i have to drag in my 3 year old who after 1 inning is bored and then gets cranky.

signed,
the mom in the stands who has the cranky 3 year old.

So, if you have letters to write, click the picture above and head over and link up your letters with Foursons.

Happy Friday!

BBall Video

Last night was E-Man's second baseball game! He did great last night. At his age, they play 3 innings. It went from 7-8:30! We were wipped out when getting home. E-man is lucky that he is a left and right handed batter. He bats much better left handed. He usually hits the second throw to him. This video is hitting right handed and he still did it! He was so proud of himself last night. I could tell he was proud of all the work he has been doing at home. Last year he really didn't enjoy t-ball too much. But this year he is having a blast!

change in names

My blog is getting more public, so in light of that I am going to start using my  kids nicknames instead of their real names.

Introducing:

Dumpling

E-Man!

As usual, the hubbys is usually "The Hubs" and i "Mama"
