April 17th

I just realized that I hadn't blogged for the past week, so here goes.

First of all, a HUGE thanks to everyone who bought candles from Kristian for his Space Camp trip. He managed to sell $190 worth of candles, which means we will only have to pay $45 for the camp!! YAHOOOOOO!

On Tuesday, I had a doctor's appt. The medicine that was finally working for me was recalled. What is up with all the stuff being recalled lately? Makes me scared to eat anything! The new medicine does seem to work, but it does have its side effects too. I am supposed to be taking it 3 times a day, but switch around from 1 - 3 times instead. I just base it on how I feel and it seems to work out fine. I am still pumping away at exercise class and finally after adding 2 more days of working out, I am seeing results! YIPEE!

Kristian had a field trip to the aquarium in Denver. He said that they had a great time. He has been before, but it has been a few years. I think his favorite was the sting ray exhibit.

Mike has been working really late these days. He is getting ready to loose a guy on his team and it is only going to get worse once he is gone.

Kristian was supposed to have a spaghetti dinner fundraiser for his Space Camp trip, but we got another snow storm. It was supposed to be a blizzard, but in the end, ended up being a fizzle. We did end up with about a foot of snow though, but the wind didn't blow like they predicted, so it wasn't as bad. Kristian was supposed to have a snow make up day on Friday, but ended up getting another snow day instead. He was happy!

Saturday, we went into town for breakfast. Then we took the kids to Toys R Us and ran a few errands. On Sunday, we took Kristian to pick out an MP3 player for his birthday. He was thrilled to finally get one. It isn't an IPOD, because until he proves to us that he can take care of it, he won't be getting anything that nice! He didn't care though, he just wanted something. The guys went and got their haircuts while I went to Super Target. How nice was that to be able to shop without kids hanging off the buggy? PRICELESS! Kristian is worse about it than Dylan. He thinks hat since he has his Heeley's on that it isn't that hard for me to push! Yeah, right???

Today... Has been one of those days... Just when you think everything is going great, BAM! A slap in the face. It started small. The kitchen phone broke, not sure how, just pushed a button and it fell in the phone? Cheap phone I suppose. Then Dylan, somehow, found a pocket knife? Again not sure how, but he did. Luckily, NOT keeping with his usual self inflicting nature, he cut a slit in the port a crib instead of himself. That I was thankful for, but not thankful that he cut the crib! Now, it looks like a white trash port a crib. Beautiful tape holding it together. I am sure when Mike gets home it will be DUCT taped together for me. OH JOY!! There were other little things, but by 5 o'clock, I was breathing a sigh of relief. I put the dog outside and the boys are playing. WHEW! I survived!!

Well I guess that is it.. No pictures this week. I will try to get some for next week though. Hope everyone had a great week. Until next time.....
