Bowling

This morning the kids and I slept in and had kind of a lazy morning until about 9:00 am. Then the kids each worked on their rooms. Since Staci had her sleepover last night I let them wait to do Saturday morning chores. The kids really wanted to go bowling so we left for that at about 11:00 and headed to Greensboro.

The kids love to bowl. Xander chose to play the first game with no bumpers. Staci won on the first round and then the second time around Caylyn won but Brayden had two spares in the second game so he actually won overall with a 295. We realized we needed to leave soon so the kids bowled 3 frames on the 2nd game and I gave them each 6 strikes in a row. Then they finished out their last frame.




We met Caylyn's family and Staci had to say goodbye.Since they moved they don't get to see each other as often.

When we got home it was chore time. We drew sticks this week with our chores and worked on the downstairs only. Then the kids played until Dad got home. He was at a golf tournament all morning. Then he had a luncheon afterwards and didn't get home until after dinner time. He needed to go to Lowe's to get stuff for the garden. Afterwards we got dinner at Stake n Shake. Then we came home and the kids got ready for bed and were in bed by 8:00 pm.

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...
