Packing, Packing, Packing....

I'm begining to wonder how we'll actually fit all of the things we need to take with us to Loon in the car!! You never realize how much you need, till you have to pack it all up into a limited amount of space! We're trying to work it so we only have to take one car (we plan on spending a fortune in gas - we don't want to spend 2!!).... So the front is off limits to suff - we'll be there, plus the DVD player for the girls. The girls will be taking up the entire middle seat of the Moutainer (along with their sunggle things, DVD screens, backpacks full of activities, and whatever else they absolutly HAVE to have!). That just leave the back for clothes, food, bedding for the condo, snowpants, boots, hats, mittens, boarding stuff, ice skates for 5 people, toys, games, pool stuff, etc... Oh my gosh - there's no way! We're going to need a trailer or a 15 passenger van!

I wonder what Jay would think about using the passenger seat to put stuff in and me staying home and hitting the spa for a few days?!?! haha.....

No time to blog.... we've been playing Guitar Hero!!

What a busy weekend we've had! We went up to Jay's dad's house Saturday for a family day of hanging out and playing in the snow! (well - I'm not gonna lie - the guys took the kids outside to sled and snowmobile and the girls all stayed inside - it was TOO cold for me!) We had an awesome dinner, then Jay and I went home to hang out with friends while the girls had a sleepover! Unfortunately for me - our night with friends wasn't TOO much fun considering I had to get up at 4 and go to work Sunday morning, but still...
Today Jay and I got to go to work at the station together because we had no kids! It was great! Then we went shopping and when we got home - there were the girls! haha... and Uncle Kyle was so gracious enough to bring down the playstation and Guitar Hero, and we've been doing nothing but since about 4:00 this afternoon! haha! I must say, as much as I moaned and groaned about having it (cause that's all that Jay would be doing if we got it!) - it's SOO much fun! The girls tried it (but quickly got booed off the stage) :) Maddy was actually not bad - she made it through half a song! (maybe she'll be famous one day - she can play guitar and Bella will sing - of course! Allie will tell everyone where to go and what to do - Road manager!?)

No school for the girls Monday or Friday this week - only Weds. Friday we're off on our trip to LOON!!! We'll be hitting the "worlds longest candy counter" at a store in Lincoln while we're up that way (we saw it on the Food Network)..... Just what we all need - three kids, stuck in a car, FULL OF SUGAR!!! hahaha..... what's wrong with us?!?! :)

safe from pop music (at least for now....)

The girls decided to color this afternoon, while I was making some soup for dinner. So they set themselves up at the table and began their projects while I cooked. Not even 2 minutes into the mess of stickers, crayons, markers, pencils, paper, and stencils, Bella suggested they needed some music and of course, all agreed! Just as I was about to explain why I couldn't possibly take one more minute of Hannah Montana or High School Musical.... They asked for Jack Johnson! Thank god! hahaha..... Maybe having 2 parents in the radio business will be good for them after all!!! (and here we were worried they'd turn out like us!!!!)

Party Day!!!

So the Girls had a party to go to today.... Hannah (my best friends little girl) turned 4. The Party was at a local bowling alley and it was a dress up party!! So we arrive (late per usual!) and get right into bowling and I must say my kids are pretty awesome bowlers! Maddy's pretty funny - she starts WAAAYYY back and runs and chucks the ball. Bella just stands there and moves the ball back next to her side and slowly lets it drop and very slowly roll down the lane. Allie does the old 'stand with your legs really far apart and bring the ball way back under them and roll it'. But she does it perfectly straight every time! It's crazy!
So after bowling it was party time (pizza, cake, icecream, presents, etc...) and then arcade games...... dun dun dun...... going to a place with arcade games and triplets is just like standing outside and putting your $$ into a trash can.... We spent $25 (and got about 800 tickets!) and we left with about $3.50 worth of crappy toys and lollipops! hahaha.... Oh well - they had so much fun!

And now it's nice and quiet! No yelling kids, no music, daddy's off interviewing Linkin Park, and I have the nice quietness all to my self!! Life is great! :)

Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentines Day!

Since this is my first offical blog, I though I'd begin by giving you a glimpse of our crazy life... Just today, we pumped out the basement first thing because of all the rain yesterday, we had a little puddle... then it was breakfast, dressed, and out the door. We had a doctor's appt, then we visited the radio station (interupting Daddy's meeting of course!! Lets hope he wasn't trying to add new music or something....) From there we had an hour to kill so we wandered around the dollar store and the girls ended up buying 3 thing each (how do they talk me into this?!). Then we had to take the car to get fixed (transmission - YAY.....). Gramma and Diego (this is papa) met us there and took us out for dinner and icecream (sugar at 630 pm? great.... hahaha!). At home we had to listen to Hannah Montanna while we finished Valentines because of course there's a party at school tomorrow! (oh no - I forgot cookies..... I guess I'll be cooking for the next hour....)

And Happy Valentines Day again...... (what happened to the days of long 'quiet' dinners, flowers, candy, cards, etc...?!?!) ;)
