Daily Stuff

Does anyone want to take a guess at the number of times I have to wipe junk off of my dining room table?  Don't bother guessing, I will just tell you.  60 million.  Yes, 60 million times PER DAY.  Did any of you guess that?

I Wrote This Yesterday and Forgot To Post

Today is Asher's Birthday!  We woke up bright and early and made him a special breakfast.  His fave food is eggs and toast so that's what he had.  In his birthday cupcake (it's a ceramic cupcake that is a tradition in our family) he found two free ice cream cone coupons to Dairy Queen!  Last Saturday we took the four oldest boys and Owen to the Huck's Harbor water park at Fun City.  Trisha and Josh came along too!  Also Jon and Nicky Cote and their four kids.  We played all day long and had a birthday dinner at Happy Joe's.  Both of cameras are broke so no pictures of events.  Asher makes me happy.

Please, Let's Just Leave!

Today I am going to spend my day looking for jobs and houses in Arizona.  Actually anywhere but here in the middle of nowhere.  Only one more year till we sell our house!!  Woot! woot!  I don't want to be a home owner ever again.  And I don't want my kids growing up around here.  So if anyone happens to hear of job openings or large houses for rent (anywhere in the country or out of the country) let us know!  We are keeping all our options open!

I don't know......

Now, both of my cameras are broken.  And my phone too.  It still works occassionally when it feels like it.  Looks like there is a trip to US Cellular for me in the future. 
Yesterday the kids and I dyed rigatoni all different colors and made necklaces.  Then the boys took theirs apart and played war with them.  Why does everything have to turn to war?!?!  LOL!  It was kinda clever though because they could have all the different colored rigatoni as different ranks in their armies.  Neat, huh?  It was fun because they enjoyed doing it, it was cheap and something we can throw away when we are done.  Liam and Cedric were excited because I gave them $5 and told them to walk to Ben Franklin and get some cheap yarn for our necklaces.  (I already had some that I found in the garage right after I sen them though, dang it).  I told them they could get treats for everyone with the change.  They got lost and took forever but made it home safely after 45 minutes. 
I don't think I have ever been so busy in my life! I can't even begin to tell how crazy busy I am.  So, on labor day weekend, I am taking Eden's Delight to the Labor Day Fest/Antique Gas And Engine Show/Flea Market in Colchester, IL.  It is a MASSIVE undertaking as there are about 100,000 people that come through that weekend!!! I am just guessing at everything this year as it is my first year but, oh so much work to do!!!  Also, I have again, as I do every year, Asher, Tristan, and Jeremy's birthdays all within four days of each other....now we have Eden one week after those three!!!  Also, we have school starting....totally missed registration and haven't gotten it done yet.  We also have Boyer Reunion and Owen's birthday to squeeze in there somewhere too.  OY! 
Also toss a few prayers up for us!  We are also putting in the biggest bid we ever have for our business.  It would be HUGE for us.  I'm just trying not to think about it too much because this has happened many times in our married lives together that something we want to happen very much so, does not. 
Eden Rose loves to wave and say Bye-bye now!  Her two front top teeth are the cutest ever!

Public Enemy

I'm thinking about making my blog public again.  Can't decide.  It would be a lot easier that way since I lost all my blog peep contacts on the side bar of my blog.  Irritating.  So public or not??????

Swimmimg Lesson Report

So, swimming lessons are over.  Tristan and Cedric are so proud of themselves for passing onto the next levels (level 5 for Tristan and level 3 for Ced)!!! They both worked really hard to pass and we are so proud of them too!  Liam and Asher will still be in level 1 next year and pretty sure Cullen and Eden will still be in the mommy and me class.  Which was pretty fun this year! 

Curse it!

GO AWAY TWIZZLERS!!!
Today's Topic: PLATES
I've got a lot on my plate.  Apparently I have a giant plate.  I would like to get some larger plates.  I want a plate the size of a small boat.
I started a new 30 day fit kit last week but didn't do very good so far.  this week I will be better.  Considering the fact that I ate an enormous amount of twizzlers last night....I think I need to try harder.  So far since my Arbonne weight loss started I have lost a total of 36 pounds.  Which is great but definitely not good enough.  So, my plate will be near empty on this one.
