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?

back to school

We had a great trip up to Idaho for a family reunion (J's side of the family) after a short camping trip with some of my family in Iowa (not family from Iowa, just where we met up). We've been pretty busy and summer has disappeared. It didn't help that I had summer classes,and only 3 weeks off. We got to do some rough scouting in Colorado, to see where we might likely live when we finally move. Quite a few good stories, but I split them up. When we were in Colorado Springs we decided to go to Seven Falls - where they told us the Mountain elevator is broken, so they will take $1 off our admissions. We agreed, not minding 185 steps....wait, what did J just agree to? So we went to climb said stairs, which were small, and steep and seemed to go on forever; about half way up - the first set of stairs - M gets tired of climbing (we saw this coming,and I didn't blame her, I was tired too!) so I take E from J and J picks up M (he's stronger after all). We push ourselves th...
