What Makes Me Happy

So do you want to know what made me happy this week?

Nathan colored a picture INSIDE THE LINES! I know your all thinking "so what" He's 3 almost 4. What almost 4 year old colors almost perfectly inside the lines and chooses a different color for each pedal of the flower? I almost cried.... I thought when the heck did he get to be so old?

Then when his big sisters saw the picture they told him what a good job he did. They said things like "way to go Nathan" "that picture looks so pretty". How nice was that?

I know it's just alittle thing to you.... but to me.... it made me happy...in a bittersweet my baby is growing up kinda way.

Randomness

So awhile ago we were eating super and as usual everyone finished eating except the younger three. We all leave the table and next thing I know Payton and Clayton are done eating.

me: how did you finish so fast?

Payton: well I threw it in the garbage

me: why did you do that?

Payton: Clayton did so I did too

me: well no snack for you tonight then

Payton walks up to Clayton and says: why did you throw your supper out? it gave me ideas and I followed you, now I get no snack!

Dustin and I laughed so hard....

SEPTEMBER

September is going to be super busy. With the kids getting in their back to school mode. Nathan is going to be at preschool 3 days a week (tear).

My local Families of Multiples is having their used toy and clothing sale coming up. Of which I'm apart of. So not only do I get to sell I punch of stuff I have to volunteer some hours. Then my Y-Neighbour's group is having their used toy and clothing sale. I don't get to sell at this sale but I do have to volunteer and bake lots of goodies to sell. I love selling the cookies! I can talk lots of people into buying them lol.

This year I'm the leader for my Y-Neighbour's group. I really hope this year goes smoothly and that I do a good job. I'm alittle nervous and alittle excited.

NOT ME... SATURDAY SPA DAY!

It's suppose to be not me monday but saturday works better for me lol

I did not get kidnapped saturday.

I did not spend the afternoon saturday with a great friend eating lunch at a restaurant, with no kids or no husbands.

I did not spend the afternoon having a long shower.

I did not spend the afternoon sitting in a nice warm mineral spa.

I did not spend the afternoon sitting in a hot tub.

I did not spend the afternoon having my toes painted, massaged, or mint chocolate scrub scrubbed all over my legs.

Nope not me.... must have been some other friend.

Let me tell you if that "friend" wants to do it again.... all she has to do is kidnap me LOL

Summer Time

Well it's that time of year again..... SUMMER

We've been busy, the spray pad, the beach, the park, the zoo but have we've been getting enough summer fun? Sometimes it feels like if we're not outside soaking up the sun, sand and water then it's a summer wasted. Is it o.k. to enjoy a pj day during the hot summer months??

The kids have been good and I'm so thankful that they enjoy where ever we go. No ones feels too "old" to do anything. I've been pulling out the pool more times then I can count, the bubbles, the water balloons, going for walks whenever it's not too hot. I've enjoyed the summer and I'm hoping the kids will look back at this summer and think yeah that summer was good.

Meet Sir Onyx

Our new puppy is here... mind you he's been here for a few weeks now but with everything that's been going on I now have the time to write something.

Onyx is totally different then Aero. He's loud, likes to bark and chews things. Although he is much better then he has been. Onyx is a black lab from the same mother as Aero but different fathers. He's cute and cuddly and likes to nip. It takes a lot more to train another dog, I thought I was done with potty training lol. Since Dustin insists on having the gates up so high someone has to go out with Onyx to pee... usually that's me.

All in all it's been fun and I've learned what not to do with Aero so hopefully Onyx won't have the same leash problems Aero has. But I'm sure he'll have different problems.

Kidney Stone

Kidney Stone Kidney Stone
I don't want to play
Kidney Stone Kidney Stone
Just go away
Kidney Stone Kidney Stone
I just want to pee
Kidney Stone Kidney Stone
I blast thee

If you haven't figured it out I have a kidney stone. What fun, what fun. For the past couple of months I've had about a period of about a week where I'm in excruciating pain. I finally went to the ER, I spent 24 hours there. I had blood work, CT scan and they put me on some drugs.

My kidney is slightly enlarged and the stone is infected. So now it's just a waiting game of when I go see the urologist. There isn't much else to do until the stone is out.

What really makes me made is that my doctor knew I had a stone back in Jan and didn't say anything!!! Thanks for the follow up!

I've done some research and found out that the more water I drink the better I feel. I've been carrying around a water bottle with me everwheres. Some people say that kidney stones are better then child birth HA at least with child birth you get something after it.

So now it's just the waiting game.
