I am just a normal, everyday mom who is trying to leave this world a better place for my children and teach my children to do the same.

Tuesdays
It's just me an E this afternoon. Jenn has class until 9:30 tonight. I don't know what we will do, but something fun! I don't have anything to work on tonight, except his Star Wars quilt. I am looking forward to just hanging out and spending time with him!

Halloween

The boys had a blast on Halloween. They were Jedi Knights (from Star Wars) and looked pretty good. For some reason, their light sabres were not lighting up properly, but really, it was good not to have them flinging swords around!
The Friday before, we went to a Halloween Carnival at the Oklahoma State University - OKC Horticulture Building. It was really awesome. They had tons of games for the kids to play, like pin the tail on the cat, a cookie walk, bean bag toss, et cetera. They also had a little haunted house that the kids liked. The Bourland's and their 7 little ones came with us and all the kids had a great time!
Halloween night, the Hazlett's were in town (from St. Paul, MN) and we were SOOO glad to get to spend time with them and go Trick or Treating with them. It was a lot of fun. We headed over to the Gatewood Neighborhood (which was crazy packed with people) and trapsed up and down a few blocks. Jenn and I googled at all the homes we liked and wished that sometime we could live in the neighborhood.
It was a very fun Halloween!

What's new...
Well, on Friday, I got home and the SUN WAS ACTUALLY OUT! Wooohooo! It has rained for months here. I ran in and changed and then I mowed the lawn and did a little bit of weed eating. I still need to trim the hedges, because the lawn people are so behind, I don't know if and when they will ever show up!
We hung out with the boys, watched some cartoons and I fell asleep pretty early. I was so tired. Jenn finshed her English paper and went to submit it online and the site was down. She emailed it to her prof and I hope that is cool. I don't think she has heard anything back.
Saturday, I took Sophie to the groomers. We had a tball game at 10 and it was 95 and very hot. E refused to play and sat in the field and threw a temper tantrum, so I sent him to the bench. K played great! We were several people short. We only had 6 players. The parents of 2 said they weren't going to stay for the noon game, which left us with 3 players (since E wouldn't play). We decided to forfeit and this crazy mom went all off on Jenn for forfeiting. We told her that if her son wanted to play, they said he could play with another team, but she just went all off like she was on some kind of reality show. It was crazy. No. We haven't been playing much because it has rained for a month. All the fields are marsh land and they have cancelled games and practices over it. Not our fault.
We went home and Jenn fell asleep on the sofa, so E begged me to watch Star Wars III with him. I haven't let him watch it yet, because I heard it was somewhat violent. I told him if we started it and I thought it was too bad, we were turning it off. Jenn woke up and took K to her moms for awhile, while we watched the movie. I fast forwarded it a little bit, but it wasn't too bad. E was very glad to finally see it.
Jenn's mom came over for dinner Sat. night and then I put the boys to bed about 9:30 and she stayed so she could watch Sopranos (On Demand). Since she was going to be there, Jenn and I went out to see EVENING. It was really good. Then we had a beer and played some darts. It was fun. I hadn't really wanted to go out at all, but I am glad we did.
Sunday was sort of slow. I had wanted to sleep in, but the boys woke me up around 8am. I got up to make them some breakfast when my mom called to let me know that my grandma had passed away. I hemmed and hawwed about whether or not to drive to Chickasha, but decided not to. We went to Jimmy's Egg for some breakfast, then went to the flea market and then home for a nap. I was exhausted. I slept for about 30 mintues and then couldn't get back to sleep. The boys were being terrors and refused to calm down so I put them in different rooms and made them pick their room up. When I went to check on them an hour later, they both had picked up their room and were asleep! Yay!
I sat down in the sun room and watched some Harry Potter. About 6pm we decided to go to the pool for an hour or so and then go get some dinner. We got to the pool and sat there for about an hour. They had everyone out because the clorine system was messed up. We didn't get to swim, so we left. I was really bummed. It was hot.
We got some Chinese food and went home. The boys got ready for bed and watched a movie, while Jenn and I caught up on Big Brother. She is trying to get me hooked. It is like her favorite show. So far, I am not too impressed, really.

30 April 2007
We had such a nice weekend. The weather was great! I came home from work on Friday and mowed the lawn and finised up trimming the hedges. We had a great chicken fried steak dinner and played a game with the boys before going to bed.
We got up on Saturday and cleaned the house. M came over around 10:30 and played with E and K and then my mom came over about 11:30 and we went to the boys soccer game. They played great and won! Yay!
K went with his granparents for the weekend from the game and we all went downtown to the Arts Festival. It was soooo crowded, but the indian tacos and stawberries napoleon were fabulous! The kids made some fun light switch plates, sun catchers and wands in a kid's area. Jenn and I shared a dippin' dots and then we all went home.
Jenn and I took a nap while mom hung out and watched a movie with M and E and then E went home with her for the night. M went home and Jenn and I worked on her algebra quiz (not well, I sucked) and then got ready and went to see the Oklahoma City Philharmonic with Bebe Neuwirth as the special guest.
She was fabulous!
Yesterday was sort of a lazy morning. It was nice that no little one's woke us up! I got the dogs bathed, the fish tank cleaned, the back yard mowed and picked up E and got dog food. We spent some time playing Lego Star Wars on XBOX. Then I made spaghetti and meatballs and after dinner, E and I watched Star Wars V.We are going to finish watching it tonight. He wants a Star Wars Birthday Party (15 days until he is 5!!)
