Ah, this was a good day - minus the broken dishwasher

So, finals are done. My best surprise was that in my business class she let everyone who had an A not have to take a final. And I was one of those. So, one final down, one free, and one to go, I took my Accounting final which was my biggest dread. I stayed up until 12:30 studying the night before, and the night before. I only missed 2! YAY! Finals done. Big breath and a smile on my face. That was Monday. The joy of being done and getting all A's is still with me , however.
Yesterday J broke the dishwasher. Ok, not entirely his fault: the heating element was rusted pretty bad, and bent upward. I asked him if he could bend it back and it snapped when he tried. So, handwashing dishes not so fun.
Today, I washed dishes (some of them - I'm really not a very motivated person when it comes to dishes....or housework in general). Then after whatever other little things I did this morning I got to come to Aunt N's and put the kiddos down for naps and sit in their suana for about 45 minutes. And granted it was interupted half way through cuz M got out of bed, but those were still an amazingly relaxing, quiet, 45 minutes. And now they are still sleeping and I am blogging. It feels good.
But, the REALLY good part about all of this?? Megan's cookies came in the mail today. DELICIOUS!! I love her cookies. I'm considering secreting them away so I do not have to share with J or M. :) but, then where is my Christmas spirit?? Thanks Megan. Your cookies made my day.

Congratulations on your finals. What a great feeling! Just think of doing dishes as a sauna for your hands. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family.

Way to go, smarty pants! Although, you forgot the OTHER best part of your day which was my calling you 3 times. I'm glad you decided to share the cookies...I told the girls that you said you weren't sharing with Uncle J and they were aghast! :)

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.

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...

halloween was lots of fun. we went to the Family Fall Festival at Aunt N's. M had lots of fun being dressed up...as a witch! She was adorable, and I appologize, but I have no pics. I completely forgot to bring my camera. Hopefully I can steal some from Aunt N. M had a skirt with fiber optics on it that lit up different colors, and she wore glow sticks as well. She had a cute witch hat, orange tights with bats, and a black shirt that says "my magic power is being cute." She even won the costume contest and got delicious Choxie chocolates as a prize. The chocolates were really cool actually because they were little cups of chocolate, made out of chocolate, with different flavors of soft chocolate in the middle...like caramel, pistachio, milk choco...etc. CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE!! We are really enjoying them. there is only one left actually. Oh, and I finally got everything finalized on the Buick my mom sold me, so now it is officially mine, tags and title!...
