Great Grandpa and Emma

Great Grandpa was over and Emma climbed up on his lap with her "bebe" and cuddled. Way cute. She calls him nama because she gets confused with saying Grandpa. I think he kinda likes cuddling with her.

An update on Emma's doctors appointment. Her tongue is fine. The doctor wants to check her hearing and have her go to a speech therapist.

Monday!

I have had an interesting weekend and Monday. Actually I am very frustrated right now. I guess I have calmed down a bit since I got home. For starters I woke up late. I woke up at 7:15 and had to get everyone out the door by 8:00!. I got everyone dressed, fed, back packs packed and out we went. We got buckled in the car and I backed up only to hear CRUNCH and the kids yelling, "Mom, you ran into dad's truck." What a great way to start the day. I got out to assess the damage. Durango: broken taillight, Chevy: huge dent in the side of truck. Now, this is the third time I have damaged the Durango. I think I need to just park it and stay home. I was too upset to call Jared and tell him so I just waited for his call at work. It finally came, and I felt really bad. He didn't yell at me, he just said he knew it was an accident.

My day at work was crazy and I couldn't wait to get home. When I got home Jared reminded me that I needed to be more careful when I drive. He said he was concerned for mine and the kids safety. So, I guess he is right, I do need to pay more attention and be careful.

I am frustrated because my living room is torn apart still and I am hosting Thanksgiving at our house for the first time I want my house to be nice and cozy. Saturday I was helping Jared with the fireplace remodel and I fell on a pile of wood and bruised up my arm and leg.



Yesterday after church Trenton decided to trim his hair, twice. So I had to finish it up. He kept looking in the mirror saying, " Everyone is going to think I am weird now. Just call me weird head now." I really had to keep from laughing. Poor little guy. I am hoping he learned a lesson from it though.


I bought the DVD Old Yeller for the kids and they have been watching it quite a bit. Trenton decided that Danner needed to come inside (yes,I can't believe I let him in either.) Trent preceded to get him a plate of dog food and water and a special blanket to sleep on. He said it was just too cold for him outside. This is what I found in the kitchen.




One more funny thing. Jared's dad (Papa) shot a little deer and Trenton asked him if he could have the horns. He asked Jared,"Dad, what do you think I should do with my horns, should I tape them to my hat, tape them to my motorcycle, hang them in my room or throw them away." So funny. I am raising a redneck for sure.


I take Emma to the doctor tomorrow. She is almost three and still has difficulty talking. I think she may be tongue tied. So, we are going to get that checked out tomorrow.

I really hope tomorrow is a better day.

Trenty and school

So, Trenton started preschool this year and I am not so sure about it. I decided I would wait a year for Kindergarten and boy am I glad. He is always making up excuses as to why he can't go. One morning he came into the bathroom and sat on the stool while I was taking a shower and said, "Mom, I can't go to school today because my arm hurts, my legs hurt, my tummy hurts, everything just hurts." Nice try. Another day he told his teacher that he wasn't going to be there the next day because he was going to be throwing up. He is getting pretty good at the excuses.

Emma goes with him and every morning she is pushing me out the door telling me to leave. She loves going to "school". My little man just likes to be at home. He really likes to be outside working with his daddy. When he gets home from school I try and ask him about his day and usually get the same response, "I don't remember, or I only learn at school." I hope some things change before next year.

I have been extremely lazy today. I didn't even put makeup on or do my hair. I did shower though. I usually don't have very many days like this, but it is cold outside and I felt like being lazy. I even took a nap with little miss Emma.

Jared is so sweet, he added on some concrete to our patio that I had wanted done. We are also going thru a little remodel project. We are replacing our gas fireplace with a wood stove, and adding a backsplash to the kitchen. This is all suppose to be done before Thanksgiving is hosted at our house. Do you think we are going to make it?

Fall Fun

We have had such a pretty fall. I love all the colors on the changing trees. The only thing I hate is the flies are still here. Hopefully it will freeze soon and they will die. The kids had a good time raking Great Granpas leaves. I don't think they goth them raked up like he likes but they had a good time trying.

We started Halloween by going to the corn maze in Ontario. The second grade got to go for their reading goal. Taiylor had 353%, which was the highest for the second grade. I was one of the chaperones. We started with a hay ride and then ate lunch and then attempted the corn maze. We got lost a few times but it was really fun.





Halloween was fun. I had 2 sweet little witches and a sheriff. We went to the church to go trunk or treating and then we went to Danielle Burrels party. The kids had a really good time playing games and going trick or treating. The kids had candy and more candy for dinner and so by the time we got home they were wired. Not fun for mom and dad.
