Mentos dropped into red pop does nothing. lol Oh well. Jello/dry ice it is. I will still try it out before adding it to the cake ( Read more... )

I've been busy, busy, busy. Book fair is coming up. It begins Monday. I had no intention of taking it over completely but it appears that I have. Not that I mind. I do enjoy it, I just wasnt ready for it. Now I'm overwhelmed because I dont have the timeline of what needs to be done when in front of me. The lady that was supposed to do this has it ( Read more... )

We had the most awesome Halloween ever! The kids had a Halloween party at the Eagles. Jacob won the costume contest and his prize was a dog dressed as a devil. It bounces around in a circle to chase it's tail while barking. He laughed SO hard watching this thing. It was great. From there we went to my Dad's so he could see their costumes. We only ( Read more... )

Today is Matthew's birthday. He's 8 years old. How the hell did that happen? I remember that day so vividly, not that I want to but we wont go there, and it sure doesnt seem like it was 8 years ago. He had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, which Michael pointed out is NOT healthy! I told him it was a special day so it was ok. He wanted to know what to ( Read more... )

The wedding is today. I'm very excited. I really should be getting in the shower so I can do my hair (hopefully) later but I'm not motivated enough for that yet. The boys are going to look so cute. We had the rehearsal dinner Friday. That was awful. Matthew whined the entire time that he was bored or tired or hungry. Michael ran around the chapel, ( Read more... )

I had better not be getting sick! I feel like crap today. I'm nauseous and have a headache. I have so much cleaning to do and dont feel like doing any of it. :( Plus Matthew wants spaghetti for dinner and I planned to make sauce today. Nice cool rainy day for it but I'd rather just lay in bed ( Read more... )

I'm interested to hear what all of you think about this, especially those of you with children of your own? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090927/ap_on_re_us/us_more_school Do you think we should have longer school days and longer school years? ( My thoughts )

The walkathon at school was yesterday. It was fun but I was exhausted by the time I got home. It went well but we'll make lots of changes for next year ( Read more... )

I'm really beginning to hate September! Bryan just got laid off! :( He's been fortunate enough to escape these seasonal layoffs for the past 4 or 5 years but not this time. He can go back in the spring. Usually these layoffs are done in October so this means the company must really be hurting to start layoffs so early. I do wonder about Michael's ( Read more... )

The funeral for Bryan's sister was yesterday. It was so much harder than I expected it to be. I've been to plenty of funerals before, but never for anyone young. It was awful! The viewing was Friday. We took Jacob with us and the other two stayed the night at Cathy's house. They had a blast. I met Bryan's father for the first time ever. I've been ( Read more... )
