Slacker, Lagger, etc

Well whatever you wanna call it that's what I am. I am one of those people who do things in spurts. I get all gung ho over certain things and then life happens and I don't keep up. That is with most things except languages. Anyhow, here are some interesting happenings from us.

*We have moved (okay so it was like 3 months ago but since I haven't posted...) drop me an email if you'd like our new contact info we would love to keep in contact.

*We lost Emi's favorite chicken Goldie. We think it may have been due to the heat and her not being able to tolerate it. Emi was very sad. We buried her in the backyard.

*I love my new job!!! I have fantastic aides who keep things fun. There are so many great things with this district. I do share the classroom and I teach the morning class. My job is form 7:30-2 so I really like those hours as well. Sharing a room is not easy but is "do"able.

*Alayna came down and visited us for her birthday and we had a blast!!! We took her to a Lobster Festival and to the LA County Fair. We hope she will come down again sometime!!

*Emi and Kaida are staying home with (drum roll please...) Daddy at least until about January. He has been doing a great job taking care of them. My SIL Mindy has also been a great help and fun to have around. (She lives with us)

* My parents came to visit and boy were Emi and Kaida happy to spend time with Maca and Paca. We even had a little party at the motel!!! The might of the party while walking back to the car I bit it with Kaida on my back. Luckily neither of us got hurt too bad. Kaida was perfectly fine and I ripped my favorite pair of maternity pants and got a nasty scrape/cut. It was not a pretty sight my big ol' fat body on the ground!!!

*Jason made Emi's Halloween Costume. I had bought both the girls patterns to make their costumes but then just said forget it as I was too lazy. I then ordered both online. On Tuesday I got an email from the company with whom I ordered Emi's and they told me it was out. I about lost it. My sweet husband then went through our HUGE recycling bin and found the pattern I had tossed. He finished cutting it outand then continued on to sew it to completion. Huge note-He had NEVER touched a sewing machine before!!!! IT came out Fabulous and boy was Emi excited. She was a penguin and Kaida was a duck (their favorite animals).

*On Halloween Emi got a hold of a pair of scissors and cut Kaida's hair!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!! Jason cleaned it up and it looks very cute. (Both his grandma and grandpa were in the haircutting/styling business but that ain't genetic!!) Hence Jason is becoming a Jason of all Trades!!!

*Not due to Halloween candy (or any fault of her own really), Kaida had to have (gulp) 6 cavities taken care of (I can't believe I am admitted this on my blog publicly!!) She was a trooper and the dentist said she was the first 2 year old she has treated that HASN'T had to be put out completely to have the work done. She had conscious sedation. To top it off the night before she was puking and mean me wouldn't cancel the appt, we just went ahead and naughty me didn't mention anything. She also couldn't eat of drink anything for at least 6 hours before and her appt time was for 8:30am so she was starving. Poor thing. The doctor suggested milkshakes and/or ice cream. I was a little nerbous due to the bug she had the night before. Afterwards I did end up taking her to Baskin Robbins and let her pick 2 things of ice cream.

*We will be have baby #3 in March (as of now and by coincidence the Dr has scheduled me for 3/13 which is Grandma Burke's birthday!!) We don't know if it will be a boy or a girl and NO I don't want to know and no this will most likely NOT be our last baby!!

*The girls are obsessed with me being pregnant especially Emi. She talks about it nonstop and loves to draw pictures of the baby including pictures of the baby "in your uterus." If you ask either of them they will tell you they want a baby brother.

* I will try and post some recent pix of the girls this weekend although don't hold your breath!!

Luv to all!!!!!



*Update-Ok so I didn't get pictures posted that weekend but I did today even after getting a root canal!! Not bad if you ask me!!
