No wastefulness around here....

Maddie heard that there are children starving in third world countries.....she decided she would not be wasteful and finished EVERY LAST DRIP of her Valentine icecream cake!!

This is what happens when you get old…...

A Saturday night out now consists of winning BOWLING tournaments.  It was a fun night out with St. Peter parents.  We thought the kids would be impressed with our new hardware but they actually weren't very impressed.  HA!

Father Daughter Dance

One of Peyton's favorite nights!  The father daughter dance.  She loves to get dressed up, go to dinner with her friends and dads, and dance and play!  We went to mass first, then Peyton and Mike headed over to the bar/pub.  I think what happens is the girls play and eat and the dads stand around a have a few beers.  Then they head over to the main event.
Mike said the dance this year was very organized and good.  Peyton had a great night!

                                     This look happens between the two of them frequently!

Watching like a hawk

The kids and Mike were out playing basketball the other day and Petyon ran inside insisting that I "come out and see this!"  There it was….a hawk (or some other big bird, I don't really know my birds) on top of the house.  It was HUGE and just sat up there for a while.  See, we aren't thhhaaaat city??  We still get plenty of wild life in the big city!

Annie gets fixed

A few weeks ago Annie went to the doctor and had her little surgery to get fixed.  She was a sad, pathetic sight when I went to pick her up.

She recovered quickly tho.  Within two days she was back to her spunky self!!!  It was everything I had to try and keep her under control so that she wouldn't rip her stitches out.  She was suppose to wear the "cone of shame" for TEN days!!!  Day number 2 and I threw that out the widow.  That thing was such a PAIN!!  She could't eat, drink, or pee with it.  Her and I decided she would try to be a REALLY good girl and leave her incision alone so that we could throw the blog ole thing away.  So we did, and she did fine.

The Fox and Cinderella

Two weekends ago Jeanne, Mom, Peyton, and I went to see Cinderella at the Fox.  It was a great show, as always.  Our seats were awesome!  We did have to sit two and two.  Two seats were right behind the other two.  So we were all by each other but Peyton and Jeanne sat right behind my mom and I.  Jeanne said she wished they were all four lined up so that we could see Peyton.  She said Peyton was on the edge of her seat for the entire show.
We went to dinner at Westborough, Peyton's favorite.  They use "china" and goblets for your drinks.  Peyton loves to eat there and be "fancy."  Jack likes to eat there two, but for other reasons….."they have the best chicken and the best ranch."  Sounds like a girl vs. a boy opinion.

A ten, maybe 20 min recap….

Here is a 10-20 min recap of what just occurred on this fine Saturday morning.  Mike is at work, go to pick Jack up from a friends, he is crying.  He had just fallen outside while they were playing frisbee.  He has a chipped tooth (luckily a baby tooth), a bloodied and VERY fat lip, and black on his two front teeth from the black top driveway.  OOPS!!  Get home and then Peyton overflows the toilet from using too much toilet paper.  I asked, "who left the water running in the bathroom?"  Thinking it was the sink running.  NOPE, just the toilet with poo and pee water flowing over onto the floor.  Yep, got that all cleaned up.  Then the dog came inside and was a FILTHY, MUDDY mess, and had to take her straight to the tub.  Shew!!!  I need a drink….and it's not even 11:00!!!  Maybe I'll go for a nap instead…..
