Charlie's B-day invites

I knew what I wanted and I kind of worked it out. Of sourse my subject had other plans. What do you think?

Riss & Brad

I wanted to let you all know that Riss and Brad are here in Cali. Brad reports to work on Wed. They have been house hunting but haven't been real happy in what they have found. They are going to live on base until something comes up. They have been at Mom and Dad's with their dog and cat so and all of their "stuff" in storage. I'm sure it will be nice for them to have a place soon, even if it is 29 Palms.

The Thing About Grandma's

Sadie spent the day with her Grandma yesterday at Grandma’s school. When I picked her up Grandma told me how good she was all day and Sadie told me all of the things she did in the classroom. Last night when we were eating dinner she and I had this conversation;

Sadie “Mom, you know what’s kind of weird?”
Me “What?”
Sadie “Grandma never tells me ‘No’. She always says, ‘Okay, or I’ll get it, or in a minute”
Me “Yeah that is weird because when I was a kid she told me ‘No’ all of the time. Do you want to call her and ask her why?”
Sadie “No, I don’t want her to start. Maybe you’ll never tell my kids ‘No’.
Me “Maybe”

Father's Day, Poopy Pants & Nurse Rached

Terry has been sick for a week but still wanted to go dirt bike riding Sunday morning for Father's Day, ok by me. Charlie and I drove down to Grandpa's. Along with Mom, Brad and Riss we took him out to breakfast. All was great, we gave Grandpa a t-shirt that said Old Guys Rule. He was slightly offended but I told him it could have said Old Guys Suck, but it didn't. We had a nice breakfast and I headed back up the hill. Charlie was fussing half of the way so I kept passing back pacifiers from a stack I keep in the cup holder next to me. Finally he stops crying. Once I pull in the driveway and open his door I notice that he has something all over his face and arms. I was trying to figure out where he got the food but soon realized it wasn't food it was poop from an exploding diaper. He got quiet because he entertained himself by smearing it all over his head, his arms and his legs. All of the pacifiers I gave him were covered in it. I ran inside to get Terry (what better way to say Happy Father's Day), by this time Charlie is just sitting there grinning. Father and son ended up bonding in the shower, I was gagging and frantically calling mom to find out what will happen b/c I am sure he ate some of it.
Terry spent the rest of the day in and out of bed and did the same yesterday. He FINALLY went to the doctor and is on an antibiotic now - which he promptly threw up this morning. Why is it that he turns into a 5 year old when he is sick and I turn into Nurse Rached. I am so comforting when its the kids but I have no patience with him. Not nice I know. I will work on it. I CAN'T WAIT FOR VACATION!!!!

School Awards & Speeding Tickets

I received the speeding ticket on my way to the girls school. I was rushing so I could watch them get their end of the school year awards. I was ticked, but I soon forgot about it b/c my kids are such STARS! Sarah made off with 5; Science, Reading, English, Honor Roll and Choir. Sadie has 4; Improvement, Creative Writing, Honor Roll, & Outstanding Athlete. Their different personalities sure come through in their achivements. I am so proud of both of them. Only 3 more days of school and then I will have a 6th & 2nd grader, YIKES!
