Weekend musings!

So I had a very busy day yesterday, but thankfully today has been very lazy!! T didn't make it home from Ohio this weekend and we are all very bummed!!! The kids are so sad and were crying, it's hard. I am often at a loss as to what to say to them because sometimes "It's going to be alright", just seems like a lie!!! :(

But Saturday we all sleep in a little and then once I got up we cleaned a bit!! Then I had to drop S off at a friend house at 1PM. So I showered and her and C and I left the house. We went to Giant Eagle to drop off my RX. Then dropped off S. Ran to Tractor Supply to get Scarlett's dog food. Ran to Wal Mart to get stuff. Then back to GE to pick up my RX. Then Micheal's were I found a paper pad of Shimelle's newest line for $5!!! Then it was time to head home!! Got home just in time to pick up the other kids and head to the HS to drop R off!! Then the 3 boys and I had an hour to kill before we needed to be back at the HS. So we headed to the Dollar Tree to get some lunch containers for the girls and then to Dunkin Donuts to have a snack!! While there we had some facetime with daddy!!! It was great to see him and hear him!!!

Then it was back to the HS for the Pee Wee football games. I had to work the concession stand during the 1st game and the boys just kind of ran wild!! Eek!! Then the game was over and I was done, it was time for Little Man's game. Of course Gman fell just before that and scrapped his hip and elbow and was a bear the 1st half of the 2nd game!! But then his friend showed up and he was happier!! We lost like 34 to 0, but Little man had an awesome tackle so that rocked!!! We were there till almost 9PM. Then it was home and straight to bed!!! S texted me a little later and said her friend was going to bring them home after they got home from the Curves game, so I went right to sleep!!!

Then this morning the boys were up kind of early, but they let me lay in bed till a little after 9AM. Then I got up and ate some toast. Filled out some papers for school tomorrow. Updated my planner for the week and then I scrapped a page!!! Then I made some chunky apple muffins (it was the recipe from Friday, but I made them into muffins) for lunches this coming week and then lunch - just PB&J!!! Now I'm tired and need a nap, hahaha!!! Here is my page from today: She Believed She Could by Kristin Cronin-Barrow, Bad Sewing Machine XII: Don't Be A Square 2 by Traci Reed, Alphabitties 4 by Traci Reed, and Date Stamps by Amber Clegg:

TGIF!!!

Well I had grand plans of doing nothing today and I kind of accomplished that!! I worked on my zoo albums and then T text me at 11:30AM to have lunch together. So C and I dressed real quick and headed out to met him at McDonald's!! Then we headed home and I continued to veg!! I did wash and dry the towels and I read, read, read!!! The kids all came home (except S, she had one last football game - away - today and stayed after school) and we all just hung out!!! 

Me and my sweet G-man hanging out in bed!!

I made dinner, homemade pizza, and then just lazed around and read!! I had to put the boys to bed by myself and then T didn't get home till 9PM......or a little later. Then I had a bowl of ice cream and then it was off to dream land for me!!

Hello 5AM!!!

Ugh, yes we had to get up this morning when there was still a 5 at the beginning of the time!! S had to met at Dunkin Donuts at 6AM to have breakfast with the seniors in her marching band section, so that meant we had to take her!!! The alarm went off at 5:20AM and I got up to take her but them my sweetie T said to get back in bed he would take here!!! Love him to bits!!! So I laid back down till 6AM and then I got up and did the morning routine with R, although I just made her eat oatmeal I didn't make her a "real breakfast". Then I got back in bed and T came home about 7AM, he took S straight to school which meant that I'd have to leave the house and take her lunch too her!! I did that once we got the boys on the bus!! Once C and I got back home I got the icing made for my cookies and got them iced then I started to make my chocolate chip cookies but as I was starting to mix them I remembered I was out of vanilla extract, UGH!!! I called T hoping he was still in town and could pick some up for me but he wasn't, he was in HC but that sweetheart of a man still went and bought me some and brought it back to me!!! Love him to BITS!!!! So I got my chocolate chip cookies made and then I started working on laundry!!

It took forever for the bat cookies to dry so I had to wait to package them. The girls came home at 3PM and I had to run out to the high school to drop off the chocolate chip cookies (2nd trip there) and then came home and got the boys off the bus and S fed. We had to run her back to the high school at 5PM and drop off the sugar cookies for the band (3rd trip there) and then back home to get the noodles cooked and in the soup for dinner! Got the rest of the kids and myself fed and then we started gathering what we would need for the game!! We left the house between 6:15 and 6:30PM to head out to the game at guess where................the freaking high school (4th trip)!!! The kids were so wound up but I finally let R and L go down and buy them all mini megaphones that they can put popcorn in and that kept them calm for a bit!!! T had to park clear down at the Jr High and walk up and finally showed up at just before half time!!! So we sat and watched the bands and then everyone was whiny so we left and went to McDonald's for food!!! 

Then home and straight to bed for everyone but T, he said he'd wait up and pick S up, he is totally the best husband ever!!! It was one loooooooooooooooong day!!!!

Hooray it's Friday!!!

Kids lunches today were pizza buns, carrots, baby oranges and popcorn!!!

Daddy took today off and after we got the kids off to school we just lazed around for a bit and snuggled in bed!!! Then about 10AM his and C ran to FV to get some movies!! Then they came home and we vegged some more (C watching Scooby Doo, daddy sleeping on the couch and momma in bed reading). We headed out to lunch at about noon, hit Mickey's and then ran to Wal Mart so C could spend his birthday money!! He bought another Team Umizoomi DS game. We came home and he played that and mommy and daddy vegged some more!! The girls came home at 3PM and then we had to have S downtown at 4:15PM, so I took her, R and C with me. We dropped S off and then went and parked at the high school! Daddy stayed at home to get L and G off the bus and to wait for his mom and dad. They were going to met us at the high school and then we were all going to walk down town to the pep rally! Well his parents were running late (as usual) and R and I just started walking downtown ourselves (pushing C in the stroller). We listened to the band and some people talk.

C had to pee so bad he was crying, so I took him into Gatti's to use the restroom and bummed $2 bucks off R to buy a water. Then finally just as we were about the leave and follow the marching band back to the high school daddy and the boys showed up!!! We all walked back to the high school and then enjoyed the little "carnival" they had next to the football filed. We had pop and hot dogs, then once inside the field we had candy and burgers. We sat and watched the game till half time, watched S and the band perform and then headed home, it was none too soon since G fell backwards off the bleachers and hit the one behind him and got a big old goose egg behind his ear, he just cried and cried!!

Then I sat and clipped box tops for a while and then I went to bed!!! I was beat!! Daddy waited up and went to pick up S when she text to come home!!
