Today was a typical Monday, I got up and went to the gym to workout. After my aerobics class my friend Melissa and Noah came over to eat stew with me, Jason, and the kids. By then it was time for Andrew to go to school. We wanted to let the Noah and Jade play together, but Jade was in too bad of a mood. As soon as she heard her brother was going to school, she looked at me and said "Don't take me to nap little lady" "OK" I thought it was cute. She eventually got a nap because she was crying too much. Since Andrew is only in school for 2 1/2 hours before I knew it, it was time to go pick him up. I had to wake her up from her nap. Then it was off to dance class. Dance is cute to watch and Jade's best friend Ashley is there. Me and her mom get to catch up and talk. I always in enjoy seeing them. We always end our Monday nights with some yummy Ted's Mexican food, bath time, books, and then bed.
Tomorrow is the kids second dentist appointment. It should be interesting. The first time they went, they did awesome. I hope this trip goes just as well. I will let you know. Other than that this week is pretty boring. Jason is off until Friday and he gets his first paycheck on Thurs... YEAH!!!! I have to get two teeth fixed and pick up my new contacts and glasses on Wednesday. Oh yeah, we also have a birthday party to go to on Wednesday night. Thursday is Karate for Andrew. I only have one more month of dance and karate. I have decided to combine and I put both of the kids in gymnastics on the same night, Monday at 7:30.
Fast day!!!
Today was a lazy day and I loved it... Jason woke up with the kids and got them milk and turned the TV on. I later got up and got them some cereal. Then we slept until 11:00 a.m. Since Jason works until 2 a.m. we are tired. I can't sleep until he gets home, so the rest was well needed. Of course from the time we woke up until now it has been in fast forward. I had to make lunch and coffee at the same time. Then it seemed like Jason was in the shower and off to work before we could even have a conversation. I love the age my kids are right now and I don't want them to grow anymore. They have played so good today. They also helped me get sheets and blankets off of their beds and then helped me make them up.
Yesterday, I took Jaden to school and then went up to Andrew's school and help serve popcorn. It was the first time I had ever ran a movie popcorn machine. Pretty fun... Then last night we went to the Fall Festival at Wayland Bonds (Andrew's school). It was funny because Andrew couldn't understand why we where going to his school at night time. He didn't know what I was talking about when I said Festival. We had a really good time.
The imagination of a kid...
Today I walked in the living room to find my kids playing. It was so cute because I asked what they were playing and Andrew told me a story like a scene from a movie. He said that three of this toys had flown to Mars in their cars and saved the toys. When they brought them back to earth the toys came to life and now the cars can just drive. So they had to go search for a space ship. They found one on the coffee table. My tray that I sit my drinks on. Now all of the toys are flying to Mars (Andrew's Room) on the tray so they can go save the planet.
October fun!!
So far this October, we have had many fun festive times. We went to the pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins and play on hay. Also we went to the Zoo and trick-or-treated. We will also be going around the block on Halloween and making candy apples and pop corn balls.
At the pumpkin patch, we learn about pumpkins and gourds. I didn't know that they all had a name. Of course I can't remember any of the names, but it was interesting to learn. We also played with the animals and slide down the hay stacks.
Last night at the zoo we went walking around and trick-or-treating. It was neat to see how it was decorated.
Last weekend!
Ok so I had a busy week last week. We had dance on Monday night. Jade's friend Ashley joined her dance class. Tuesday we had parent teacher conference at Andrew's school and found out even though he is the class clown he is above average in reading and recognizing letters. Then we drove to Guymon. We stayed in Guymon for two days. It was fun. We had one late night of Karaoke and another of Grease. A couple of my friends from school where in a production down town. It was pretty fun to watch them. Then we came home. Yesterday my friend from Temple, Wendy came through town and stopped by to say hi. We went to eat at Johnny Corino's. It was fun catching up with her. Jason has worked every night since we got home, but he is off today. He made me go get my flu shot and it hurts to type so, I am going to go lay down now. :)
My baby is 4!!
Yesterday we celebrated Jaden's Birthday. She is now 4. We had a party at our house. It was a lot of fun. I was really sad all day because I can't believe that my baby is getting so old. I realized today that I haven't changed a diaper in 3 years. I never thought I would miss that. I don't really, but it makes me wonder, am I really old enough to be done having kids? I look back on all of the fun times we have had through the years and how quickly they have passed. I also think about the fact that in four years from now she will be 8. Now please don't tell me that will come as fast as 4 did. Anyways, we have met some awesome people here. We had about 8 families at the party. Not too bad for being new to a town. I am so glad the party has now passed. Jaden has been singing herself "Happy Birthday" for at least a week. She had a lot of friends come to her party. Her new friend Ashley. Ashley and her go to school together and have really hit it off. Now Ashley is in her dance class and they get to play together on Monday nights too. Also Noah, Jacob, Mallory, Collin, Caleb, Tate, Kailey Elizabeth, and Gracie all came to her party.
Kids say the craziest stuff!
I have been thinking that I should journal all of the random thoughts my kids say... Here is what I can remember.
Andrew at almost 2 years old. When asked how babies are born he said... "First the mom swallows a seed and then a baby grows in her tummy and then she spits it out." Jaden says "They are up in my room" Now at age six Andrew says "They are floating around inside the mommy's stomach then they start to grow and out comes a baby."
The other day when walking Andrew to school I asked him "What do you want to be when you grow up?" He said "I want to be a bond trader, wait no a doctor a bond trader is my fall back." I about fell on the ground and rolled I was laughing so hard. I asked him where he had heard that and he said "The Museum" What kids pick up from TV. Jaden says she wants to be a grown-up and a mommy. How cute!
Other things I have noticed her saying that are cute. The other night when I was tucking her in, she asked for some water. I am lazy so I went in the bathroom and got her some. She said, "No mom, I want water from the Anfigurator" I thought it was cute. Then today I was trying to teach her senses. I asked her "What is your nose for" she said, "Picking"; ears "earrings"; eyes "seeing"; fingers "pointing"; and tongue "licking" Not sure she passed the test.
As for today, the kids both went to school today and then tonight we are going to meet some friends at Mazzio's. Last night after Jaden's soccer practice, we came home and played some soccer in the backyard. Andrew and I kicked the ball around. Jade is just not interested. Both of my kids have a hard time understanding that if they want the ball, they have to go get it. They think the other person is being mean and stilling their toy. After we got done playing soccer I noticed a Katydid (leaf bug) on the side of our house. We caught it and now it is our newest member of our family "Hermie." Andrew did pretty good at school until right before school was out. He had a green bee all day until he got into a kids face. The teacher told him not to do it again. A few seconds later he did it again so the teacher gave him a yellow bee.
