new things this week

This week was my birthday (on Sunday). I am now 26 and don't feel a day over 20 ;) !! For my birthday I chose Ice Skating - we have never been before. It was a lot of fun, fairly entertaining, and now my arms hurt like crazy! No one ever told me how much work it would be to hold a kid up to ice skate!! They loved it though, and it was fun. Plus ice cream cake - which I get every year. Justi gave me a birthday date including babysitting (her of course), so John and I went to dinner and a movie, and some shopping. It was great!

On the M side of things: apparently she is going to marry Mathew, and she is going to move in with Cara and Gillian! new devolopments, of course. However, she has specified that she WILL come back to me. She will go to Cara & Gillians, then go to Mathew's, and then come back to me, and keep doing that over and over. She did suggest we all move into Megan's, but...well I don't know if that will be happening or not... :)

And not to leave E and J out, they are doing well. Not much new there though. We got a book from the library, and E gets a kick out of it - the first humor I think he understands. Its got animals putting on clothes, and it says "Red shirt, blue shirt, green shirt..." each one under the corresponding color and animal. Then, there is a turkey that has the said article of clothing on incorrectly (say on his head, for example) and it says "...oops." E cracks up every time.

Hmmm...I might need to get a bigger house! And, clearly, I will have to meet Mathew first.

I love it when they start getting jokes!

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...
