Ok if this isnt hilarious. So my mom takes Brandon and Ben last night. Which this is the first time Ben has spent the night with anyone. And only the second or third time Brandon has spent the night outside of the house. Brandon has spent the night at my sisters house , my moms house and a friend of his. So we didnt know if Ben would end up staying or not but he did.
Ok so the funny part is me and Josh got to go out to dinner together. (Faith was there) but she is really, really good so that didnt matter. So we go to the Macaroni Grill. He gets a couple glasses of wine, we get an appetizer, a salad with our meal, and dessert which it still didnt cost us that much but we were splurging this is only the second time we have gotten to go out in probably the last 3 years. It was nice, yummy and filling. So we get done with dinner about 7:30 and we go home watch tv and fall asleep around 10:00 OK WE HAVE NO KIDS, and we are in bed by 10:00. It was funny though cause it felt wierd not having to put the kids to bed, brush teeth, read a story. And this morning when I woke up I was like ok what am I going to do. We had to go to soccer practice and I only had to get me and Faith ready. I am so use to screaming and running around the house. "Brandon find your shoes", Ben get your jacket, Go back in the house and get your soccer ball, You forgot WHAT and having to turn around and go back and get something. I had a couple of minutes to just relax. (RELAX) how do you do that. I forgot. But I still missed them funny how you miss them only after a few hours.

I can no longer hide in another room. If she hears me she comes and finds me. I cant believe how fast she is growing. She is 7 months now and can already( and has been able to for while) find me in another room. But she can pull herself up to a standing postition.

Will the construction EVER be complete

Ok I am so tired and stressed out it is not even funny. Here we go again. We were told oh I can have this room done in a week. We are at the end of week 2 and does it look like this job is complete. And I am just so tired of the mess. I have to watch the kids even closer because I dont want Faith putting drywall or anything like that in her mouth and now that she is a little more mobile she either goes after the plastic that is on the floor to try and make the carpet not get so messy. (Since I did just clean it) or after the bits and pieces of ceiling, or wall or drywall or trash from the drywall. And then of coarse my dog likes to sniff everything so then she gets all messy and drags it all through the house. Geeezzz will this ever get done. . First of all if you would put in a full 8 hour day and not work for 1-2 hours a day and then make up some excuse. Oh I have my wifes license, or oh I forgot I had an appointment. And how many smoke breaks does a person need.
And if that wasnt enough we had someone come out yesterday to look at our chimney and clean it. Well we were told first of all absolutely positively dont use it. Because it could catch our house on fire in a second. We were told their is no liner in it. But when we bought the house we were never told that. And Josh got up on the roof with the inspector. Man what happened to the honest hard working people. Now anyone will say anything just to make a buck. I mean we could have burnt up in our house and this person obviously would not have even batted an eye because he made his 100 dollars. I would never be able to live with myself if I lied to somebody and then ended up hurting them in the end.
And now Josh is back at work and we still have an uncompleted mudroom and an uncompleted bedroom and a very messy house. CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Yummy squash. Not!!

So what do you think? Do you think she likes it?
So as you can see from lack of entries we have been super busy. Since their bday we have had our first soccer game. Brandon loves to be goalie and they let him they let all the kids play. They have to play one full quarter and then the next kids go in and play the second quarter and then the third and fourth you can go in and out when you are tired. Wierd but it works. We are now down to swimming lessons once a week but sometimes we have swimming lessons and then a soccer game in the same day so I will let you know how that is gonna work.
Brandon is loving kindergarten he is learning spanish, he has art 2 days a week and gym the other two. He loves recess the best. Go figure. He had an early release day the other day and only was worried about missing recess. So funny. He was also invited to his first school birthday party this Sunday he is so excited.
Josh is now back and now it is time to kick it into high gear and get the mudroom done. We will see , it is now Wednesday and I still have nothing done. I feel like I am just going around and round in a circle.

Happy Birthday Brandon and Ben. We had a very fun weekend. The swingset ended up not being a surprise and took like 25 hours to put together but it is done and I have not seen my kids this excited in awhile. They get up first thing in the morning and go outside and play.
They got a swingset, scooters, toy guns, 2 new movies, a game, some playdoh and lots and lots of sweets. Brandon is now 6 and Ben is 4. And the weather ended up being super duper nice. They want to go out to Red Lobster so when Josh gets home we will go their one night. They love eating calamari. And maybe we can get a free dessert for them. I have posted some other bday pictures.
