Taco Tuesday




What a busy day! Today I got to spend a few hours at Conner's school. We layerd paper mache on balloons. Then they will paint them and turn them into Easter baskets. So much fun We are going to make our own Easter baskets this year doing the same thing. After that I had to get the last few things for Conner's birthday! He is so exited to turn 6! After school today we went on a two mile walk/bike ride. The dogs where pooped out! Then for dinner I made the kids vegan spaghetti tacos! They were very yummy. I have a lot to do tonight to get ready for Conner's big day. He wants to go for a walk by the river and have cheese pizza. He is going to have a starwars birthday! I will post pictures later this week.

two weeks




It has been two weeks since the husband left for Afghanistan. Two long weeks. It feels like it has been months. I have not spoken to my husband on the phone yet. That will be nice when it happens. We did get to talk for a few moments on face time on our ipods. Other then that it has been just a few moments on Yahoo messenger and random post on face book. We miss him. We are looking forward to R and R already. So in the last two weeks a lot has happened. We cut Maria's hair! Its so short. shorter then I wanted. Conner was misbehaving so I had to step out of the way and before I knew it Maria's hair was done. She loves it and hair grows back! Then Conner lost his tooth. On April 5Th 2011! IT was his first tooth and he didn't want it to come out. It hanged in there as long as it good. He was happy to get a visit from the tooth fairy. He got three dollars. He gave a dollar to his sister and 50 cents to me. Very nice of him.
Today I went into Conner's class to do centers with them. It was fun. I get to go back every Thursday. I'm excited. Monday I am going in to help make paper mache egg baskets. I did this last year with Maria's class. Messy!! The kids are adorable though. As soon as I got home from the kids school. The school nurse called me. Maria's ear hurts. I make her an apt and she has another double ear infection! Third time this year. So hopefully this is the last time for awhile. She is not feeling well. I doubt we will get much sleep tonight. I hope she feels better soon!
There is alot of talk about the government shutdown. I hope things work out. I know I live pay check to paycheck. Kind of insane to think. The husbands in Afghanistan and they don't pay them when and what they should. We shall see though. That is our two week cap. Conner's birthdays next week! We are gearing up for that! Take care!
