skating!

the girls have been bugging me FOREVER to take them skating, with red being lifted and we are back in orange i found a sweet rink!  our neighbors back yard! hahaha they have the best little set up.  the girls did GREAT, ellie was skating by the end of the session

joey was joey

and she smiled the whole time

they have a little parent box you can go in and heat up with a HEATER and chairs.  cant wait to go back...oh the the guy gave me BEEF JERKY!  i LOVE me some beef jerky that stuff is my crack. anyways it was a fun afternoon and the girls finally got to skate!

i looked into the school room and saw this. my heart. this is why i LOVE having the kids home.  joey was just sitting with nate while he did his work.  its neat to watch the kids interact with each other.  nate has a relationship with ellie but his relationship with joey is so cute to watch. i can see him taking joey out for drives when he has his license. so cute

now that ellie is in the top bunk, i lost my night snugger.  so ive been going to joeys bed, shes turning into a snuggle bug too!

ellie's surprise.  a few wks back she woke us all up to a treasure hunt that she planned and prepared for.  she gave us all hand drawn maps to find the treasure

my map

off we went!

i was impressed with her creativity!

tada! the treasure box! (nates old tool box!)

and inside it was all the treasures for us

we took it to the porch to open

we each got a gift to keep

it was a fun way to start the day and dad got to join in.  we LOVE having him work from home!

my little worker bees.  the girls now have chores and its fun to watch them!

ellie helping me get groceries. and bummed an ice cream along the way

the new new.  when we are home on a wkend, which isnt often, we log on to church and drink coffee...in bed

chris was praying. hahaha

ive been slowly pecking away at the house. one thing i do that i find helpful is making lists.  after i made this one i thought of vati and his pocket to do list.  look vati!  i made a list!

so. i had a bunch of dental appointments the last 2 months.  i take ativan for them.  after the last appointment i went to mission thrift and called chris to pick me up.  i left the bag on my bedroom floor and a few days later i looked in to see what i got.  i have NO memory of what i bought. hahaha

but i got a LOAD of GREAT books! i have great taste while stoned!

it was fun to see what i got. hahaha
