Summer Movies

We are on week four out of ten summer movies. I thought Gretchen would progressively get better at the movie, yep I was so wrong. She gets worse every week. As soon as her popcorn is gone she is done.

Today she was ready to go after like 30 minutes. Today's movie was stupid so I really didn't blame her that much but seriously I am starting to hate the movies myself. Any suggestions? I guess I shouldn't complain since she is free and all. Today's movie was Igor oh man I thought it was so boring.

These pictures are from last week. She thought she was hot stuff sitting by marshal and not mom. Until her popcorn was gone and all of a sudden she was on my lap.

Easton loves it. He is a movie kid even if the movie is dumb he just thinks it is cool he is at the movies.

Zout

For those of you unaware of what Zout is, I will tell you. It is one of the best stain remover's I have used and my kids and myself are messy. It works really really well, on clothes.

Easton decided to try it out on something entirely different tonight.

So this evening Easton went into the bathroom to brush his teeth. I thought nothing of it because well he is trying harder to brush his teeth all by himself. After about 5 minutes in the bathroom with the door shut I thought I better see what is going on. I went into the bathroom and he tried to push me out. I thought hmm that is strange then I see out of the corner of my eye the bottle of Zout with the lid off. I grabbed his tooth brush from his hands and realize he had been brushing his teeth with Zout. I ask him have you been using this to brush your teeth, and of course he says no. Which I knew was not true. So I got to call poison control for the first time. It freaked Easton out a bit, so I think he will stick to using regular old toothpaste.

After I was done talking to poison control I asked him how it tasted and if his teeth were clean he looked at me and said nope I think I missed my back teeth.

The New Sprinkler

This year Easton and I wanted to get Cherry Hill passes but we decided we should save the money. We bought this beach ball sprinkler thing, for the first use Easton invited Kendall over to play in it since his sister will not get in the water. Her idea of fun is to wrap up in a towel.

Kendall and Easton would even cover up the water spouts to get Gretchen to come play but it didn't work out to good.

Happy 68th Birthday!!

Today would have been my mom's 68th birthday!!! A couple week's after my mom passed away I started watching the TV show 7th Heaven. I am a sucker for the feel good cheesy shows, anyway on the show this ladies mom passed away and every year she would still celebrate her mothers birthday and have a special dinner. I wanted to do that but stuff always seemed to happen. This year I was determined to do it. So tonight for dinner we had one of my moms favorite meals. Then all afternoon I have been talking to Easton and Gretchen about my mom and how much she meant to me.

As I got older my mom became one of my closest friends. I talked to her everyday even when I was away at school. I am so grateful for her and all the things she did for me. My mom was the person who helped me gain a testimony of Jesus Christ. She loved the Lord and it showed. I hope that my kids will be able to see that in me.

I Love You Mom!!!!

Look What I did!

My dryer has been broken going on 4 weeks now. Since today it is supposed to be nice I bought some rope and made myself a clothesline. The only problem is i didn't buy enough clothes pins. I have to say it will be nice when I finally get my dryer fixed(who knows when that will be.) but it hasn't been that bad. Yes I have had to hang my clothes all over my house but really I can't complain to much. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Sprinklers!

Today it was warm and sunny all day no rain, it was amazing. Easton wanted to run through the sprinklers so he got his suit on. Gretchen isn't a huge fan of the water currently so I didn't even put her suit on. She was Happy just sitting on the step watching Easton with me. Then she started making some funny faces when Easton would do things.

Oops!

So today has been an adventure. This morning I paid all of my bills, made a few phone calls, and then Kendall, Easton, Gretchen and I were off to run a few errands. Well we made our first stop, returning a few items at Walmart. When we got outside it was raining so I hurried and opened my door and unlocked the car, or so I thought. I set my keys on my seat and the door shut before I had opened the sliding door to load the kids. I go to pull the door handle and it was locked and I look in the window all the doors are locked and the keys are sitting on the seat. Yeah what a fun thing when it is raining and I have kids with me. So I call my sister but she is busy and I can't talk to her. So we walk to my house and the whole way home I am praying that a window is open. Lucky for me a window is open but it is really high and I have no ladder. Finally my sister calls me back and she brings me a ladder. Noelle climbed into the window and was able to open my door and then we went to Walmart to pick up my van with my spare key. I wish I would have had my camera to get a picture of Noelle climbing in my window.

Kendall slept at our house last night and her back pack was in the van. While we were walking to my house Kendall tells Easton I guess I am just going to have to live with you guys now. Before Andrea left my house I gave her a spare key in case I ever do something stupid like this again.
