Girls Night Out!

So I took the girls to the ballet tonight. They loved it! Especially Xaris, who has informed me that she will be in next year's production. Isabelle and Gwen were silent the whole time just watching but not Xaris. She would ask a random question or give commentary loudly when there was dead silence and clap louder then anyone else. We had a great time and although we won't be going back tomorrow like Xaris has requestd we will probably make it next year.

Girls Day Out Preview

So today I found out that I can get ticker to The Nutcracker for $11.50. I know for some of you that is not exciting but it will be for my three girls tomorrow!

Christmas Card Making Update

Sooooooooooo we went to Costco to pick up our cards and it seems I ordered the one the I did instead of the one that Jaime did. Ooops! He was really upset and thought that I did it on purpose. Then he told me that he wasn't going to pay another fifteen bucks to get the ones that he wanted and I started laughing and then he really thought that Idid it on purpose. I did not however do it on purpose it was a computer error. Or more like a user error. So here is what the card was suppose to read:

But the picture is still the same!

JOY TO THE WORLD!

Unto us THESE children

were born!

Merry Christmas!

The Jaimes

Christmas Card Making

I was so unaware how cheap it was to order Christmas Cards from Costco! Unfortunately Jaime saw that I was designing them and decided that it was his job to make them. I am apologizing now if anyone is offended but at least there is a funny picture of the kids.

Dinner

So tonight Jaime and I were discussing what to

have for dinner. Since it is sunday our cupboards are bare and we didn't want to go out so we went next door. You might be thinking oh their neighbors ask them over for dinner how is that interesting, but no. Our neighbors own a restuarant and every weekend they sell tacos out of their house for $1. I know cool right? They are so yummy too. I am sure that it is probably violating some code of some sort but I am going to enjoy the convience while it lasts!

Life with 4 Children

I love my kids. They teach me, enterain me, love me, and defy me. It is also possible for them to do all three in the same sentence.

Adventures in Cabinet Cleaning

So last Saturday I decided to go through all the cabinets and clean them all out and reorganize. To my surprise there was like 50 spiders in this one cabinet and wouldn't you know it Jaime wasn't home. So after about 30 minutes of deciding whether it would be worth it to get them out or not I decided that they were going to die. I stuck my vacuum attachment in there and sucked all those nasty spiders out! I even documented it with my camera so I could show Jaime when I got home. Here is the before and after pictures. I still can't believe I did it.

Ouch!

Have you ever been so dedicated to something and then it turns around and slaps you in the face? Well welcome to my world! Now lately I have been trying to make light of the situation but it doesn't seem to be making my husband feel any better. If you didn't know my husband is fluent in sarcasm and it is definitely his defense mechanism. Now that he all he can say about this particular situation he is in. He tells me things like they just aren't ready for my ideas or cracks jokes about being avoided like he is the plague. Oh and my personal favorite is they saw his name and threw it away. Honestly I know that we are supposed to be doing what we are but it is just frustrating to see people not caring about what they are paid to care about. Sure I can get frustrated from time to time but never judgemental and I definitely never give up on anyone. Jaime is always telling me to be more positive but I can't seem to find it in his sarcasm. I guess that is kind of like when I tell my kids to clean their room and they claim that one of them isn't helping so why should any of them have to do it. I am normally a positive person and I try to look for the good in everyone but that has been difficult for the past year. Matt Brown said one of the wisest things I have ever heard two Sundays ago. He said that life isn't like making cookies. You can follow the directions and things can still go wrong. Man is that not true in my life. We will see, hopefully this next year will be better than the last.
