THAT S.O.B!

So, I'm going to go back a few weeks - as it's been a while since I posted.. On Thursday 8/8, I go to this meeting for Delaney's new school. Had to take Addy since it was bedtime and thought the car ride would put her to sleep. WRONG.. I was at the meeting for 1 1/2 hours when I realized I only was able to listen to about 20 minutes of what they were talking about, so I figured it was best to leave. Next thought, well, now I have the ride home.. for sure Addy would fall asleep!?? WRONG again. I figured, I might as well grab a few things at the grocery store that we desperately needed. I head home around 9:15 pm. After putting the groceries away, I head up to put the girls to bed. Soon after I finally sit my butt down.. I hear MANY BLOOD CURDLING screams from Keelyn and Ryley. As I get closer to their room I finally make out what they are screaming "THERE'S A BAT FLYING AROUND IN HERE!!!!!!" SON OF A BITCH!!! And THANK GOD, Jack was home. I scream down to him (needless to say no one was going to sleep any time soon) JACK, GET UP HERE, THERE'S A BAT IN THE GIRLS ROOM!!!! He comes running up... semi-closes their bedroom door and yells for the girls to get on the floor and crawl out. HA! just like a commando video! As they creep out.. he slams the door behind them. Now, everyone is up in arms. I am completely freaked out - all the girls kept saying was "I COULD SEE HIS RED EYES" ugh! Finally after about 30 minutes the house was quiet again (i.e. all kids asleep). SO, for the next GD 2 freakin' hours... Jack and I are trying to get the damn bat out of the house. We managed to get it in the upstairs hallway, with all the doors shut and that pain in the ass would only fly around the ceiling and continually land on the door frames! We had the front doors open for the whole 2 hours, threw shoes, socks, every towel I had in the kitchen at the damn thing.. and NOTHING got him to fly DOWN and out the door! Jack finally got a wet washcloth from the tub and just perfectly hit the damn thing while it was hanging upside down on the door frame above the computer room door. It landed right on top of it and was heavy enough to BRING THE BITCH down ;-). We threw 82 (exaggeration) towels on top of him, put MY USELESS BAT NET under all of it and threw it all out the door. Well, then, I was like SHIT! the damn thing is going to suffocate and die under all the towels. SO, Jack gets the broomstick and tries to flip to towels off the thing. Finally just like out of a horror movie.. we see the nasty things arms pulling itself out of there! I had to take pictures so the girls KNEW it was gone.. and here he is.. the little SOB!





















NASTY NASTY NASTY!!!!



2 days after that ordeal, was Keelyn's 8th Birthday celebration... she wanted a Wii party, so we allowed her to have a few friends over to play Wii and with a time LIMIT! 12-3, everyone had lots of fun, enjoyed each other and she got a small amount of gifts. It was really nice to not have the big ole' adult BBQ after. Although, we did go hang out at Susies house and wish her a big old Happy Birfday later on that night! It was nice to catch up with Susie - and see everyone - there are always lots of laughs over there! It is very nice of her to invite the WHOLE Flynn clan over!!


Here is my POOR POOR try at a Wii remote cake:




at least it was YUMMMMMMY!



Here is a photo of Keelyn and (SOME) of her friends:











Whew... so after that (Sunday)... we went and hung out with Mike at his new pool.. boy the girls love it! This video cracks me up!





Delaney also had a blast sitting on Daddy going on the WAVE RIDE :-)









It has been quiet since then, Jack was away all this past week in PA, so Sat. we arranged for a babysitter for the WHOLE DAY and went to Mike's to celebrate his 40th b-day. BOY OH BOY, we had FUN. Good friends, lots of laughs and no interruptions! I just wish we were able to stay a little later. Everyone was having a lot of fun and we had to head home to relieve the babysitter of her 6 hour duty! The girls had a great time, Addy was great, the day was perfect. I'm so happy we've finally found a sitter I can trust and know my kids enjoy. She kept them busy the whole day. THANKS AGAIN BRITTNEY!!!! Looking forward to our next outing!

I was only able to take 2 pictures before I was pulled in the pool by Mike.. so here they are....















Well, everyone is asleep... I hope to hit the gym tomorrow morning. Then Ryley has her ice cream social at her new 1st grade school at 3:30. Wish us luck! She's psyched she has the same teacher for 1st grade as Keelyn had. Then... SCHOOL STARTS WEDNESDAY!!!!! Delaney won't start until 9/4, but Keelyn and Ryley will be gone all day starting Wed!



oh, I had to post this picture.. I think it is hysterical! I just took it today of Addy.. that silly girl!
