Fay...such crap...but I'm getting stuff done!!!

We are stuck home AGAIN this week...school cancelled twice for Fay and it's barely drizzling here. We got the call last night at 9:30pm that school was closed for today.

My house is so clean you can lick the floors...wipe your fingers across my picture frames and I dare you to find a speck of dust. All the wash is done, folded and put away and hung. I even emptied out and organized the "bins" upstairs that hold all the girls crap....Polly pocket dresses, Barbie shoes, wallets, scrabble pieces, doll clothes, pens, lip gloss, flash cards, clips, barrettes...you name it...it's now in it's proper home. Yesterday I matched up ALL the socks. Erin and I took out all the puzzles and started putting them together so I could donate the ones that actually HAVE all the puzzle pieces.

The girls have been upstairs for 2 hours alone and I'm seriously afraid to go up there...I'll cry if they've messed it all up again.

While it's all perfect, and I will give her credit....Since Kasey got her new furniture about 2 weeks ago and I layed down the ground rules...no eating, no drawing on, no nail polish, no stickers..her room has been kept clean. So here's a picture of it.

Maybe next week I'll start making Kasey's cornice board for her window. I bought burlap about 2 years ago to finish the room and now that we finally have the perfect furniture...I'd better get to it!.

Jack

Here are some new pictures of Jack.

Girls

Here is a picture of Kasey leaving today with her Patrol Belt on...and Erin waiting to leave for school.

First day of school

I can't beleive that summer is over and Kasey is in 5th grade and Erin in 2nd!

Here are some pictures from this morning.

Kasey leaves earlier with Logan since they are patrols : )

They take their jobs very seriously!!

horseback riding

One morning while I did my lessons Kev took the girls horseback riding. Actually, now that I think about it....I was done with my lessons but had to make an emergency call to the carpet cleaners and wait at home for them because Jack threw up 3 times on my carpet the day before...Anyhow...here's some pics of that day.

Grandma & Pepop visit

Here are some pictures from Grandma and Pepop's visit. We went to OldTown/Fun Spot with them and took a ride out on the boat. Peeps brought his ski's and did some showing off! And Kevin made a good attempt trying to ski. Stick with the tube.

And on the last day of their trip we took a ride to see Great Grandpa and take him to lunch. A 3 hour car ride for 1/2 hour lunch. Woo hoo.

summer dance camp

The girls went to a week of dance camp this summer and loved it. So much so that I've signed them up to attend a weekly class with this program. Neither one of them has shown any interest in dance or ballet since they both expressed their dislike for it at age 3!

They met this dance teacher at a church camp and they love her. I guess that makes all the difference in the world!

Here are some pictures of a little performance they did on the last day.
