Saturday 12th - Yard Sale Mania! Woo hoo!! It's basically a post wide yard sale and tons of people are set up to sell their stuff. Army families are constantly moving so you can usually find great deals. This time I found stuff for our game room: I got an awesome mini fridge with a freezer (it's as big as Aidan) for $30 and a 27" TV for only $5 because it didn't have a remote. Charlie's game room is going to be awesome!
Sunday 13th - Another stomach bug started making the rounds. I was sick until Tuesday and Rachel even had a mild case this time. Aidan has been lucky and seems immune to everything!
Monday 14th - Rachel had her first home visit with her HeadStart teacher. She was here about an hour and did some work with Rachel and gave her homework to do over the next week. Their classroom should be ready in May and then she'll start going every day again.
Tuesday 15th - Thursday 17th - Nothing too exciting that I can remember, mostly hanging out at home, having insomnia and watching Deadliest Catch marathons. What an exciting life I lead sometimes!
Friday 18th - With a lot of help from Lori, Kim and Megan we got a start on the game room. Lori gave us her shed (thanks again!) so after we got that put up in the backyard we cleaned out the garage, put down our astroturf carpet and got the pool table / air hockey table out of the box. And all of this was done with no men and 11+ kids. We are awesome!
Saturday 19th - Time for Rachel to go back to dance class. It was her first class since the recital last month.
This month is tap dance and tumbling, here is Rachel crawling like a crab.
There's a new ninja in town. Keegan joined Aidan's tae kwon do class. Don't they look cute in their uniforms - this was a breathing/relaxation exercise:
Here's a video of one of my favorite things they do - lion push-ups.
And a video of Aidan kicking:
Today (finally - this is the longest post ever, lol!) - After missing last week because of being sick, we went back to church. On the way there and back Aidan and Rachel asked all kinds of questions about God and Jesus: Does God have a last name? Does Jesus have a car? Is Noah old - like as old as when you and Daddy got married (thanks Aidan, lol!)? What does God look like? The list goes on and on. It's so great that they are so curious and interested and even better that we have found a church where they can begin to learn!
This afternoon, we were invited to help celebrate Austin's 4th birthday. Lori made the coolest graffiti banner for the kids to "spray paint". You use food coloring and water and it washes off so they can paint it again - best idea ever!
A group shot of all the kids...
