Rollerskating

This morning we all woke up after the girls were supposed to be walking out the door. Brayden was yelling out for Mom and when Mom woke up she realized we all slept in. The alarm had been forgotten about last night. Whoops!

Xander had a field trip to EP Athletics after lunch today. They took Brayden as well until Mom finished with the carpool and then spent a little bit there with Kaitlyn at the gym. The kids had a good time and it really made Mom realize just how much the girls miss it there. Kaitlyn wanted to do everything she usually did in class and it all came right back to her. But we are on a brake from sports until spring time.

Kaitlyn got to help with her cake today. She helped make some fish & seashells. It was a very simple cake but she sure did love it. We baked cupcakes and shaped them into a heart. Then spread the frosting over all of them together and added the mermaid & other sea creatures. The mermaid was the only thing that was a toy.

Xander got to have Sawyer over for the afternoon before we left for the party. The played really well together and didn't want to stop when it was time for him to go back to the gym with his parents.

We had Kaitlyn's birthday party at Deleta Skating. Kaitlyn had 7 friends come and none of them really knew how to skate. Two of the Mom's stayed so Mom wasn't by herself. Even though there was tears half of the time & lots of falling down, they still seemed to keep smiling and enjoyed themselves. They skated for about an hour and then we ate pizza, had cupcakes & opened presents. They had a little time to keep skating afterwards before all the parents came to pick up her friends. Kaitlyn didn't want to leave but was smiling in the end so it ended up being a great party.

Xander didn't get a goody bag, which was a party blower & a bag to make their own playdough. Mom only had enough for Kaitlyn's friends and told that to Staci & Xander beforehand. But they were still sad they didn't get one and it just wasn't fair in their eyes. Then Staci was mad that because it was the worst party ever. She didn't get to have money to play the games & Kaitlyn's friends didn't pay attention to Staci. She told Mom in the car on the way home that it was all about Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn. Hello! Who's party was it? So we came home and pretty much everyone went to bed because Mom couldn't handle it anymore with all the complaining.

Dad had to drive all day today from Preston to Pocatello and then onto Boise. But he didn't leave later for Boise so he could be there for the beginning of Kaitlyn's party. She was happy about that because she was worried he wouldn't be able to come at all. He had some minor hickups with some social security problems but got them taken care of and still had to go anyways. He had been driving most of the day and was tired by the time he arrived in Boise.

Mom tried to relax once the kids were asleep but Brayden woke up a few hours later and just wanted to be held by Mom. So Mom is going to let he kids sleep in a little tomorrow and take the girls to school.

Learning to Hula

Today was a big day for Kaitlyn. We registered her for Kindergarten. It didn't quite go as planned for Mom though. We all got up early with Staci and took her to school. Then we got in line for the registration. Mom was feeling pretty good because we were like 12th one there. But as we waited for 45 minutes and got up to the front of the line they wouldn't put Kaitlyn's name on the list because we didn't have prove of our address. Mom wasn't aware that we needed it since we already have one child at the school and they should have this on file. They said they could give her the paperwork but that she couldn't be added to the list until they can verify where we live. Mom had to go home. She was furious and hoped that we could still get Kaitlyn into this school. Here in Pocatello they have open enrollment so you can take your kids where ever you want. This doesn't make any sense why it matters where you live then anyways but Mom hurried as quickly as she could...

Helpers in the Kitchen

Each night a different one of my children helps me make dinner. I have done this for awhile but have finally figured out the way to make it easier on myself. i get everything prepared ahead of time in little bowls just like they do on the Food Network. This way the kids just mix the ingredients in an easy way without having to measure stuff and the clean up is so much easier. I just tell them how much everything is as we are putting it together. Well tonight I made something super easy but it has the restaurant style look to it from a Pillsbury Cookbook (one of those small ones that are always by the register that my husband and I have a ton of because we pick them up all the time when we are out and about). I think my husband will be shocked, at least I hope he is...

Monster Trucks

This morning the kids all slept in but we had to get them going since today was going to be a busy day. We made pancakes & eggs for breakfast. After we ate it was time for Staci to say good bye to Cami & take her home. They had a fun sleepover although Staci has been one onwry girl every since. So it will be a few weeks before she can have another sleep over, that is for sure. We left to go and get Dad's new toy, a new BBQ grill. We got it at Costco for a little more money than Mom had originally thought when Dad started searching a few months ago. But this grill has everything; an oven, ice box, a searing station, griddle and more. It is everything Dad wants in a BBQ. But now Dad can do all the big cooking outside and not use up the kitchen for the big dinners that he puts on for people. Dad is a great cook and Mom's know this will get plenty of use. Well we got home and then had to get Xander changed to be ready for his big game. It was his first t-ball game today and...
