Day 4

For those of you who are familiar with the "BRRRRUP" aka pacifier.. today is Delaney's 4th day WITHOUT it! She is having a HARD time, BUT the "brrrup" fairy came on Wednesday night, while she was sleeping, took her pacifier and left her $10 to BUY a WEBKINZ! We went to the store and spent $18 (including her PENGUIN Webkinz) and they extended a promotion they were having from last weekend and ALL 3 GIRLS got ANOTHER FREE WEBKINZ. Keelyn and Ryley got one last weekend (free). So, the few times during the day there is crying or asking for the pacifier.. we find the Webkinz to distract her. Poor kid! Better NOW than later though.

Nothing much is new .. we had a fun night last night .. PRE-Cinco De Mayo party at the Apovians. Good times.. lots of laughs! AND.. YUMMY food AND margaritas!

Grampi has been here on and off over the past week (+) - Jack's office in the garage is getting closer and closer to complete. Can't wait for that.. I'm wondering WHAT we'll do with the space in the attic???? My thoughts for the interim are a spare room for company.. then eventually the PLAYROOM! When we configure the stairs to be a little more kid friendly.

DAMN.. the weekend weather was a KILLER.. and NOW ... 6:15 PM.. the sun is starting to shine and the sky is getting BLUE.. :-( sad the kids vacation was mostly rained out. We were able to squeeze in some miniature golfing in the 50 degree overcast day! I, on the other hand, had a pretty productive week. Getting rid of things in the loft of the barn. OLD windows, screen doors, junk.... that hasn't been used and I posted on freecycle.. and it is GONE!!! WHEW! NOW, I can get to organizing the holiday tubs, clothing tubs and whatever else is left up there! I got myself some nice space.

Keelyn is getting pretty psyched for this coming up Friday.. it is ME & MY GUY dance put on through the Girl Scouts. Jack asked her today what she wants him to wear.. she said "NOT A SWEATSHIRT" hahahahaha! He said "you want me to wear a suit?" She was like "YEAH!!!!" Wish I was a FLY on the wall to see her smile on her face!

OH AND HOW THE HECK COULD I FORGET... WE... got a Wii.. :-)

We told Keelyn that we would buy a Wii for her birthday and she could invite a COUPLE of friends over (instead of a BIG TO DO) and they could have cake & ice cream and play Wii (and maybe inflate the water slide). I figured I'd start looking early since they are usually SOLD OUT. The 2 Thursday's I went to Walmart.. they said "nope, not today.. we had some YESTERDAY". So I thought .. well.. I'll have to go next Wednesday. Then I said "let's just try Target". I asked the kid in the electronics dept. and he was like "yes, we have 3 in stock".. I almost jumped him! He laughed when I was like "YOU DO??!?!?!?!?!?!" The smile on the girls faces was worth a million bucks! We've been playing everyday.... I played boxing that night.. for an HOUR (knocked out my opponent EVERY TIME :-).. Friday and Saturday... I WAS IN PAIN! My body was aching! Definitely a good workout! Lots of fun too. I highly recommend it!

My leg is getting NUMB from Adyson sleeping on my lap, and I have to pick up the girls (they are all at Awana - church group) Curious to see how Delaney is doing.. it is her first time.

Gotta RUN
