I hate Tuesdays, especially this one and I will tell you why: I got up at 5am to hit the gym(ugh!) and that wasn't even so bad even though I had only had about 4 hours of sleep. After I got home I needed to get the kids ready for school and then hop in the car to take our lovely cute little"girl" Sadie to the vet to be spayed and to update shots. I then get back home and then we are out the door again to get Brooke and Isaac off to preschool but not before picking up Luke who I carpool with. I then run some errands while they are at preschool and pick them up again 2 hours later. We drop Luke off and come home for lunch and playtime and a little rest. Then the 3 other kids plus Meaghan come home. We do a little homework and then back in the car to take Connor to scouts. We pick up Tyler and Matthew because it is my carpool day and then I come back and get Sadie. I was a little surprised when they told me how much it cost because it was about 50.00 cheaper than what they quoted me on the phone. Oh well, I deserve a break every once in awhile, right? Well then I got to reading the receipt and it says Male-Neuter. I say to the lady, this is funny, it says you neutered a male cat and since I have a female cat named Sadie with a pink collar that we have had for the last 6 months, you must have made a mistake. She said she was sorry and that she would check on it. She came back to inform me that our dear little precious Sadie is definitely a boy. I just had to laugh! Poor thing. No wonder he kept taking his collar off. He didn't like the pink. Anyways, we are trying to adjust to calling her a him and debating on changing his name. The vet said if we keep the last syllable the same, it would be a easy thing to do. Not sure what we will do yet! Anyways back to my day, I then drop off "the cat" and go back and pick up the 3 boys from scouts, drop off Tyler and Matthew and then home to fix dinner. Then we are back in the car to take Kaylee to her Tuesday night tutor session, which brings me up to right now. I have about 10 minutes and we are back in the car to pick her up and then it is off to bed to start it all over again tomorrow.
She, I mean he is still a little dopey from the medication but otherwise doing fine. I probably shouldn't share this because I may sound a little dopey myself but I noticed that "Sadie" had some you know, things hanging down from her rear area but I thought she might have had hemorrhoids. I know, can you believe it? I guess I know what they are, I mean were now!!!!!!

Brooke finally got a Dora umbrella!
This is big news in our house. Brooke has been asking for a Dora umbrella ever since Lindsey came over with hers about a year ago. I could have gotten it for her birthday last year or Christmas but I always forgot. She finally reminded me when we were at the store yesterday and so she finally got it. She is going to have more than 7 years of bad luck though because it is always up in the house!

Just enough snow:)
The kids were glad that we got a little bit more snow this weekend so they could get in a few more snowmen. They had fun and I hope we can get a few more snow days. I would ask if I can, that they only be on the weekends so we aren't going to school in July.:o)

Sadie loves to sleep anywhere!
You have to be careful in this house before you shut a drawer or move a couch or even do a load of laundry or we would have one not so happy kitty.

Thanks to my great neighbor!
Kaylee really loves to bake and she has been wanting to bake a pumpkin pie for a long time. I told her we would do it tonight and then I thought it may be easier to go and buy one. Anna came through and had Kaylee over and they made one together. Thank Anna!~your the best. Kaylee really appreciated it!

Happy New Years!
Happy New Years! I hope you all enjoyed bringing in the new year last night. I know we did. Thanks to the Carver's for hosting such a fun night. We had a great time with all our friends.
We played some fun games, including the one below. You rolled the dice and if you got a 7 then you had to dress up in the outfit and then try to get into a box with a spatula and wooden spoon. If someone else got a 7 in the mean time they got to do it. The box was wrapped in many different boxes and a lot of tape was used. It took quite a long time to get to the little package which was a gift card to Cold Stone!:)
