Mia's Quest

Mia had an assignment that was to write a persuasive paper for school. While writing this paper you were suppose to actually do the "persuading". So Mi decided to make a kitten her quest. Well since the last cat we had decided to pee on all of our beds, and we had to replace 3 of them, ours included - which was not cheap in anyway, we are a little apprehensive about getting a new cat. So in small ways she started dropping hints, talking about cats, talking to me about talking to Dad about kittens. Didn't work, so she bargained, then settled. For a snake!!!! What little girl goes from a kitten to a snake. But my little Mi did, and we went to a pet store and she even fed a corn snake with live bait. She was completely ok with it. We are working on getting all the equipment needed but at least its low maintenance right? Well she was persuasive enough to get a mammal into the house - more than I've been able to do. I still want a dog - but I'm not going for a snake, she can have it :)

Not something you see every day

Today was a good eventful day. I was refereeing the girls when I heard the remote control truck that Hunter got at a yard sale. I looked out the front window and what do I see???? My naked baby running after a big black truck and his brother standing on the sidewalk with the remote laughing :) hahahahaha I couldn't be mad, it brought tears to my eyes I was laughing so hard..

Monday Madness

This morning started out with Steve yelling my name from downstairs, as I ran out he said he was going to the hospital again, Barbara had started to seize. They left and the boys finished making up their lunch's. The boys are still high from their camping trip. They went white water rafting with their boyscout troop. They love that troop, they are having so much fun. Its nice to see them enjoy themselves. Chase did great! His raft got stuck on a rock and he totally kept his cool and worked with his leader to get out of a tight spot. So cool to see him stepping up and being a leader. The girls are almost done and off to school, tomorrow is field day. They want me to come and volunteer and I want to but then that means find someone to take Hunter for the day or take him with me, and I don't think that would go over very well with the school. Steve's off tomorrow though so if he's not at the hospital then I might ask him to keep Hunter for the day. Well Bus will be here soon...
