The Leap


The sign (for Sale by Owner) went up on Saturday morning flyers were put in the box Saturday at 3pm (I remember because we were rushing out the door to a very special little boys 1st birthday). We showed the house to several families on Sunday and had a full price offer on Monday. YIKES it went fast, it is a sweet happy house and the new family will fit in quite well.

And I am so glad that I don't have to have my kids make their beds and clean their rooms every morning before school. Couple days of that was ENOUGH.

Next step find us a HAPPY house. Never say never, looks like we are moving to the Burbs :) Oh My!!!

P.S. When going to see houses do not let your children play with the cool lego ships that someone else's child made and most of all do not let them run like wild animals. Wow!!! we saw some interesting folks.

Vegetarian

My boy, not the dog the one in the ORANGE crocks decided that he was going to be a vegetarian. So far he is sticking to it.

I love the quirks of my children. It makes them who they are.

Again

My sweet, feisty, busy, clumsy little girl has ANOTHER broken arm. Yes another, remember last February 3 months after coming home from China.

Yep 2 boys NOT a single broken bone and now my little girl has had 2. CHEESH!!!



It was a tough day so many tears such a sad baby. I think she get's a bit of grieving done in times like this.

Pete came home from work to go with us to the doctors so she had both her mommy and daddy lovin on her. She needs it and so get's to have it. I am so grateful that I have it to give.

It makes me happy to be there for her in the hospital. I always think of when her lip was repaired in China, she did not have a mommy to love her . . . crushes my heart.

PNB

Zach along with all his 4th grade classmates have been working with Pacific Northwest Ballet for several months. Well, Saturday was the big day, they presented us with a little modern ballet at McCaw Hall, a very large venue. Zach even had a speaking part (I think it was one word . . . but still) The deal is I would have peed my pants and then fallen to the ground if I was on a stage like that.


Here is my handsome little fellow

I have a little problem . . . when my kids do stuff like this I overfill with pride and joy and start crying. What is up with that? A mom thing? Gotta be

WHOOT WHOOT!!

That is for me and my extremely encouraging and supportive girlfriends . . . We ran 7 miles this weekend. More than half way to our goal of 13.1 by the end of June.

I have been out of the fitness world since let's say December of 08 (the month I traveled to China).

See it doesn't matter if I give birth or travel halfway around the world . . . I still put on a little extra booty.

Speaking of booty
aren't they cute

82

The amount of times Naomi has asked Why so far today. Although she says "eyeeeee"



eyeeeee? do we need to go potty
eyeeeee? do we need to wipe after we go potty
eyeeeee? do we pull up our panties after we go potty
eyeeeee? do we need to wash our hands after we go potty
eyeeeee? do we need to dry our hands after we wash our hands
eyeeeee? do we need to leave the bathroom after we do all of the above

eyeeee? do we eat breakfast
eyeeee? do we take the boys to school
eyeeee? do we shut the car door


It is just "eyeeeee" because she has very few words



You get it . . . . driving me a bit crazy and it has only just begun.

Good thing she is so stinkin cute
Oh! how I love this little girl
