Funny things Maddie said/is saying:
The other night I told her not to go on the carpet since her feet were really dirty. I asked her to come into the laundry room so I could wash her feet in the sink. She started to take the long way, which would've meant running through the carpeted great room. I said, "No, go the other way!" Through the kitchen and dining room. She turns around and says, "Oh sorry Mom. My bad." What?!?!?!? I don't think I have ever in my life said this. Mike does, though. It was so funny.
"attend" (pretend)
"tendin" (pretend that) example: "Tendin they're in love itchudder." (Pretend that they are in love with each other)
"Are we getting a new car when the new baby comes? Where will the baby sit? I don't want my seat anymore, I want to sit on this seat" (points to regular seat that adults sit on). After explaining even Kaycey still sits in a seat, and Maddie will need to as well, she replied with, " but when I'm a big girl I want to sit in that seat!! In O-Tember (November) I will be a big girl!"
Other miscellaneous...
Cal wants to have a limo and a driver. He wants to be a baseball player or sports announcer. Also told me when he makes his first $10 million, he'll give me $2million. Can I have that in writing??
About school:
Went to the first PTO meeting last night (I've never attended one at any school). Excited for all the events and fun stuff planned for this school. Can't get too involved in the next few months, but looking forward to Spring and next year helping out with things. I'm so happy and thankful that we are part of this new school. I've met so many people in the past couple weeks, and everyone is wonderful. My only regret is we weren't able to send them 2 years ago when we started the building process out here. Kaycey told me yesterday she has a secret handshake with Amara and Nathan sits with her on the bus. Asking Cal after school how his day was, he responded with, "Oh it was so great!! I mean, it was okay..." The kids even came home from school and played school, instead of going swimming in the pool, which will come down very soon! So school is going very well. Maddie is the favorite gal of the week. Cheese flavored rice cakes were a huge hit. Who would've thought. I only sent the bag of them because of course I had forgotten to go to the grocery store Sunday night to get a snack for the class for Monday. Rummaging through the pantry that was the only unopened bag of snacks I had. How do I top that for tomorrow and Friday's snack?? :)

today is a good day!
Cal is excited about doing a book report. Kaycey is excited about going to a Pioneer meeting tonight at school after soccer (Pioneers is kinda like Girl Scouts). Maddie is excited to be watching "Word Girl". I am excited I was a random drawing winner for the Fancy Pants contest (though I didn't win the contest, but that's ok!)!! Hooray for good days.

fun new pages to share!!
Was lucky enough to have a scrappy sleepover with a couple buds last night... pardon the glares & graininess...
new fancy pants line, dancing girl. I do not recommend attempting to use the flourishy basic grey bling...what a pain in the booty.
new cosmo cricket line, boyfriend. Like it way more than I thought I did.
old paper! pic is from when we went to the Brewer Fever Postseason Bash at summerfest grounds last year when they made it to the playoffs. will probably add some mini pics along the side from the bash itself. And a title, of course. Brewer fever?
yay me! Now I am totally going to bed...

celebrating TEN
...one month early.
Our "pool" party was minus a pool last Saturday, seeing I think it may have hit 58 degrees. Not sure the sun ever came out. Major bummer. That's what I get for trying to have a party a month early, huh? Oh well, it's done, and I knew September was crazy busy for Mike's family as his parents are going to Greece for 2 weeks, his brother to Vegas, his sisters were going to be gone sometime during the month as well.
We decided we are going to have a bonfire for Cal's birthday with my side at the end of the month. Looking forward to lots of fall bonfires...
Cal got an MP3 player from Mike's parents. Mike and I are the 'mean' parents who wouldn't let their 10 year old have an IPOD. (Cal is perfectly happy with the MP3 player, I don't think he'd know the difference...)
This time I had full intentions on actually blocking off the entire upstairs to prevent the mayhem that went down last time. Instead Mike came up with putting tape across the bedroom doors and blocking them with boxes. Yes, I think it is crazy we have to do this. But anything to prevent major destruction...
We left the bathroom door open and put tons of toys in the hallway to play with (our hallway up there is enormous, like a playroom in itself!). Kids still managed to: go in the bathroom and lock themselves in 3 at a time with toys, go into the bonus room even though they were told not to(AKA my scrap stuff--a BIG no-no), and the one who threw polly pockets over the balcony last time decided throwing a juice box over the balcony was a better idea this time. I am so done with birthday parties in my own house that have that many small children. I will pay the $XXX to go anywhere else next time.
