Highlights from last week!

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Last Friday, even though I was watching three kids from NTM for the morning, I still managed to clean AND I made 2 pies and lemon squares in the morning before our friend, Annette, came in the afternoon for a visit. Annette arrived with some gifts for the girls and food for the adults.  She played with the girls and chatted with me while I made supper. My brother Sean arrived in time for supper.  We had chicken enchiladas with sweet potatoes in them…a new experience for Annette and Sean! :)

After supper we played Killer Bunnies with Delena (she mostly watched).  Then we played until 9 when Jason went to bed.  After that Annette and I pulled out the Christmas decorations.  We managed to get lights and garland on the banister and the tree up before going to bed.

After a pancake breakfast, Annette and I went shopping for more Christmas lights, and of course got additional goodies.

Jason has been working diligently on the crawlspace and was able to finish it Saturday night. YEAH!!! :)   He has pretty sore knees though!

Dennis and Valerie are coming overnight on Tuesday night :) YEAH!

THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 19TH

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Lorelei, Delena, Kieran, and ZanderWe’ve had yet another busy week here.  Monday night I (Angie) have bible study, Tuesday night is meeting at NTM, plus we had a family of 6 for supper.  Wednesday morning I attempted to get the mountain of dishes done before Kristin Dimmick arrived with her boy (15mth?) at 9:30…I got enough dishes done to get us through the day ..  Joanna Schmidt arrived at noon with Kieran and Zander.  Then the zoo broke out! :)   Kieran and Delena got a little crazy together with hugging until they’d fall over and someone got hurt!  And, of course, Lorelei had an excellent nap with just Hunter there, but an almost non-exisistent nap once all the kids were there! :)   Kristin left around 3 and then we did a photo shoot of Zander and Lorelei.  Actually Joanna did the shoot and I stood the older girls in the kitchen window to distract them!  The house was pretty much a disaster when they left, although, we did get a good amount of toys picked up first.

Yesterday I was supposed to have another friend and her daughter for lunch, but thankfully they were sick and didn’t come. I still had Delena and Zach Masse, so while Lorelei slept, I let them help me make cookies–which makes it take a LOT longer! :)

Jason had the men’s Bible Study here last night.  I went to the library really quick before it started, so Lorelei was left for a few minutes with all the guys.  I don’t think she likes crowds or maybe just all the men scared her.  Jason said she freaked right out, but she also had a bit of gas.  BUT, she was totally fine the rest of the evening in the bedroom with me.  It’s kind of weird being in your own house, but confined to one room!  Oh yes, the other reason I don’t think she likes crowds is because she was perfectly happy in the corner of the living room ALONE when all the kids were here.  I also stuck her in her crib for a bit and she stared at her star for probably 15 min.  I checked to see if she was sleeping and she wasn’t!

Delena and her jack-o-lanternToday I had Zach again, so we carved a pumpkin.  It was my first time as an adult…it’s harder than it looks! :)
That’s our week,
Angie
