~Author's Tea~

Emmy was picked to go to the authors tea this month. I am so proud not only did she do a good job but she was the first of the year. The Authors tea is when 1 kid from each class gets picked to read their writing to the parents and the other student involved they serve punch and cookies it is cute she has gone every year but not usually this early. she was a little nervous this year so turn your speakers up really loud if you want to hear her. I also posted her story below. I hope you enjoy,and I hope all is well friends.
I will talk to you all soon.

A little Helper for you Moms!!!!

My Daughters Second grade teacher is real big on studying instead of paper Homework. For instance, This week she had 2 pages of math homework, had to practice counting by 2's and 3's, learn 9 vocabulary words along with the definitions, memorize 10 spelling words and read 75 pages a week. all due on friday. The problem with this is that the spelling and vocab are just have parents help you study.


What if your child is a visual learner you ask well this is what I do for her.
I made the crossword and the word search. I also made her write her words 3xs each,match defines with words unscramble words and I quiz her verbally. Do not get me wrong she only missed one on her pretest but it is still important to teach her studing skills that will help her even if she learns better visually. I too am like that so it helped me in thinking of ways to do it for her.

our weekend

Our Weekend
We went to the county fair and I fell in love with all the little piggy's aren't they cute!!!!!! The boys loved them and all the other animals.


We got our new furniture this weekend as well. I also redid the girls room. to be a little older but not to old. I made the valences and the posters are in the pics below. Emmy Fell in love with it when she got home from her daddy's. in fact she was ready to go read a chapter and then go to bed and i did it for under 100 dollars. yeah !






Here are some of the other things from the weekend. Honey took the boys in the big church parking lot and played with remote control cars they loved that. It wore them out to. This is also Quentin riding on the tram back to our car. cute huh? And uncle and Ti Ti came over and brought the boys toys that they thought would give them a little friendly frieght and instead they slept with them and now Q. will not put them down they are his "MAN" he even posed for a picture with them. Uncle tried one more time to scare him with a big Skeloton but instead he gave it a high five and a big fat kiss. I know thats mommy's boy loving halloween. The boys have really been getting closer latley every time I turn around they are hugging kissing holding hands and playing together. I video taped them but I do not know if it will upload i am going to try later.


I hope you all had a great weekend talk to you all soon!

First Season would be Football season baby and yes Big Brother the 49ers beat the Rams. :( are you o.k. cause my thought on that is HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Now what PUNK! Maybe I will get to go to a game this year I have never been and would love to I wish we had a team that played closer to our home the closest is 2 hours away :( so any ways this picture below is of my Dad and the boys. He referees high school ball so we took the boys down to watch friday night they had a blast and we loved watching what he does and sharing that passion with him. I would love to see more but they on fridays and that is hard for me cause I take E. to her dads on Fridays. but I did enjoy the one.

~The New Me!~

Finally got my glasses bye bye headaches!

~AAARRRGGGHHH!!!~

Well the Party is in 2 days! I am doing well with the planning. I went and bought sugar cookie dough to save some time so I can bake Dine dine (dinosaurs) cookies to put in the goodie bags. The bags conisist of a cookie a couple things of candy a dino notebook, plastic dino, markers, and a thing of Dino friut sancks. The center pieces are plastic dinos I found for 1$ yeah! miss bargin shopper. the plates, birthday banner, and flags all have dino's on them, and I broke down and spent more then 15 dollars for a cake I usually buy my cake from costco but I went ahead and bought it from a bakery and spent 40$ (yikes) but it is going to have a volcano and lots of dino's and trees I told my self it is like 20 per baby LOL! Honey laughed and said good logic but still funny and I ordered it. I can not wait to see it.:) Now all I have left is a little more yard work, and Alot more house work. That I can only do when the kids go home Friday night.I will take lots of pics so It is just like you guys were here. I can not believe they are turning two.

The days are going great with all the kids. Things are really falling into a grove and that is really the most important part. But my house is starting to look like a Kids zone with behavior charts and soon backpack/diaperbag hooks. but it is important for organizing my day.

speaking of organizing tonight is my meeting for Fall Product manager. Anxious to see what it is. Glad to help out. And this is also good for me to get in the mix for when I start my own troop next year.

Well it is almost time for the other two kids to get here oh yeah guess what I might get today. My glasses aaaahhhhhh! *sigh of relief* well I need to get busy with my day. talk to you all sooon.

Oh real quick I have not been able to use my camera as much as I like latley *cry* I am really missing it I will hopefully get some good shots at the party and For Taylors Lil Bro I am doing his whole 1st b-day and then developing the pics to put in an album for his mommy so in due time my friends i will update my photo blog.I really miss snaping away for a real reason or should I say for no good reason.

~The Running Tally~

under 1 years: 1 boy

2 years: 3 boys

3 years: 1 boy

4 years: 1 girl ( poor thing huh?)


And the grand total is drum roll please:::::::::::::
6


So how is all of your days going.

Hey The girls scout leader called me and asked me to be the Fall Product manager. I said yes I guess it is just mostly paper work.I am only a little bummed out though our leaders are also involved in soccer this fall so our meeting have been changed to everyother week instead of every week. I think that is a little sad for the girls but it will go back to normal after fall soccer is over. well Ineed to get back to the kids. talk to you soon.

I hope you all had a great long weekend!

Well we had a great weekend! how about you???????

Sat. I sent my Honey deep sea fishing with Dawn and Jay. they left at 3:30 am and return empty handed at about 8pm. He said they had a blast. I am glad they were all able to go and have a good time. I also had a great time sat. Taylor was here and bless her heart she got the Twins out of bed and let me sleep until 8am and trust me that extra hour helps alot. Then later that afternoon we all went bowling. The boys and G. loved it we got them the ramp and guess who won by a long shot. Zachary! he bowled a 133 crazy huh? nobody even broke 90. while we were down there my Dad came to watch the boys bowl it was great he even tried to teach taylor a trick or two behind the ball. :)


Then sunday we went and ran some arrends and then my Honey and I went on a Date we took the boys over to my moms and ran around together had a nice dinner just the two of us wow that was not only needed after a week full of kids but it was much appriciated as well.


Monday we went to Honeys step brothers house for a bbq and that was fun and relaxing. then Monday night came along and the lunch making, ironing, cleaning and preparing for today started. Mom of the 2 new kids showed up this morning and guess what baby is sick with a bad cold. so today should be lots of fun. wish us luck cause Emmy has a Dentist appointment today at noon I think I am going to have to ask my dad again to help and then Dawn. This should bet the last time I need help for a while.


P.S. My heart is so sad for the family and Fans and friends of Steve Irwin. What a sad and tragic accident.I loved that Guy I found myself crying yesterday during all the news stories.

I have a few minutes so here we go!

Well it is nap time here in this Critter's Cottage. SO I have about 30 to 4o minutes.then the new baby will wake up. You see I just started watching some new kids it is hectic but I am getting into the swing of things. I wake up at 6:45 am get E. up and ready for school S. arrives at 7:30, and J. and B. arive at 7:45. I then load them all including the twins in my car and do the whole school drop off. when i arrive home 3 days a week I get T. then we do our schedule breakfast, play time, cleaning, and 11:30 lunch 12pm nap time. then the littel one wakes up and eats his lunch about 1pm and all the others wake up about 2pm then off to get the big kids from school then it is snack time and play time and home work time all at the same time. then it is dinner prep and keep an Eye on the crtitters until 4 30 S. goes home and 5:45 the others go home and in the middle of all the that the 3 days a weekers go home about 3:30 it is all working just needing to work out the kinks.

It would have been smoother then this but Emmy had to have a tooth pulled and the boys had their last eye doctor appointment. I am sttill waiting on my glassses and still dealing with stupid people (see last post.)

I have been lagging on the blogging cause do not have much time. Iam planning the boys 2nd birthday I will get on here when i can to fill you in. gonna be cute I think. Right now I am basically busy from 645am to 6pm with kids then the rest of the night is the cleaning the stuff I cannot do during the day. so it is time to go they are all waking up

I hope all of yo uare doing good I will be hopping later tonight I hope.
