Just a quick up date on what we have been up to... If there is any quick way to tell everything that we have done the last two days, it's been crazy. Yesterday was Erica's basketball tournament. They won the first game and went on to play another game later in the afternoon. But before that one we had to run home and eat some lunch and get Michlyn ready for her recital. I decided to bring along all the kids and the sitter, so that we could just drop the sitter off afterwards instead of coming home and packing kids back in the car to bring Amber home. It turned out to be an expensive event! don't understand why they charge that much when your going to watch your own child dance. But it was fun, Michlyn was 3rd to dance, they all were so cute. It was fun to watch the more experienced girls dance. I hope Mike wants to stay in dancing... I guess I am one of those mom's that is trying to relive my dreams thru my child. I always wanted to be in dance! By the time I asked my mom she thought I was getting to old to start something like that... so I joined the Dance line. Never did get to perform in anything because I wasn't able to do a full right split! Boohoo.
Anyway - we stayed at the recital for how long Brooke would let us... which was a good, she gave us 2.5 hours. We didn't get to finish watching but ooh well. Next time I will leave her at home.
After that we ran home had a snack and watch 1/2 of the movie Happy feet. Erica had to be back at the school to play her next game (which they won :)) I love watching Erica play ball. never thought I could like a sport... well, watching one anyway... I guess when it's your own child it makes a difference. She got her self another trophy to put on her shelf, hoping she will earn alot more to replace the what I call crap she puts on those shelves. little figurines of puppies, kitties, bobble head dogs, globes, tons and tons of dust bunnies. Rick was able to catch up with us and watch Erica's last game. Right after the game we had to run over to the ice rink for Nicholas hockey. After that we came home did a quick sweep pick up of the house and We read. It was a fun filled day, and an expensive one. I got my beauty sleep to be ready for my big date with Erica. Today we woke up around 8a.m. got ready to go get our hair cut, me a cut and color. after that we ran to target, chipolata and walmart... yep, ANOTHER expensive day! Its about 8:50 and I am dead tired, Hope these kids will make it a easy bed time cause I am ready for some R&R.
Until I write again!
