Not too much longer til spring break!

okay, so I fell behind this week in my classes. And I'm pretty mad at myself for it. Hopefully I do better from here on out, cuz I need to bring my grades back up from the backlash of doing so horribly. grrrr. I hate when my grades drop. I'm also seriously considerinig withdrawing from my engineering graphics class. It's really gotten hard for me to understand how to do everything I'm supposed to know how to do; especially ever since I had trouble with the program, I've fallen behind. So I'm pretty frustrated about that too...I don't know what withdrawing will do to my financial aid since it will drop me below full time status. I plan to go talk to an advisor soon.

other than that I'm just trying to get ready for spring break. I'm not really looking forward to flying with M this time. I'm pretty sure she's not going to enjoy being confined to my lap the entire time. Hopefully I can bring enough things to keep her entertained. I'm excited to see everyone in Minnesota though!

Hopefully we get to see you!

Word to the wise...get a bunch of little, cheap NEW toys that she has never seen. (Friends and family may be able to help with old stuff that their kids are no longer interested in.) Wrap them each in their own piece of aluminum foil. The mystery of what's inside makes the toy a lot better. Plus, it takes like 24 seconds for them to open up the foil, which is 24 seconds she is not trying to get off your lap and lick the windows.

You need to turn the word verification on your comments so JASON can't blogspam you.

Damn Jason! Stop attacking my little sister! (Not Megan's Jason of course, Spammy Jason)

While Mom's advice is funny ... I'm with Megan, no window licking. God knows how many nasty old men/slobbery little children/dirty hippies/smelly drunkerds and prankster teenagers have touched that window. Ewww.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Coming Full Circle - Idaho

Life has run us around a bit, and we have enjoyed the journey.  As Facebook rather took over our lives in regards to blogging, I did not maintain my blog.  I find, however, that I enjoy coming back and reading my blog more than I like perusing old facebook posts.  So I begin again with blogging; for myself more than anything. We have managed, since my last post in 2012, to return home to Idaho.   We spent 5 great years in Colorado!  The kids grew up with the neighbors; McKenzie had horse riding lessons from a young lady named Carrie, in Longmont; she started playing flute in 2nd grade, and in 4th she switched to playing trumpet; Ethan started playing soccer, and Minecraft (video gamer in the making).  We got McKenzie a cat named Diamonds. We got a puppy who we named Ryder.  We got new appliances in the kitchen that I love (double oven, fridge with freezer drawer, etc)!  I mention them, because I am sad to have left them in Colorado.  W...
