Easter bunny side job?

Ok so weve got 4 kids in bed (ofcourse there not asleep they don't really think thats what beds r for) anyway mom and i are headed to bed when i notice a small bottle of apple juice on the floor in the doorway of my room. so huh thats odd then we find that there is an apple juice in every doorway in the house. there not opened, there is no mess, but who is leaving us these little gifts? i am guessing that they are compliments of Ellie. She has just recently mastered the opening the garage fridge door. (its pretty funny the steps that she goes thru just to obtain illicit apple juice ill try to get a pic) but i think that maybe the easter bunny is bored. i mean really he's only got the one day a year. I mean he doesn't even decorate the eggs anymore. but there must be something more constructive to do?

WHY?

why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why?why? why? why? why? why? why? why? why? This is my day. Ellie is achieving new hights with her vocabulary, stringing 3 and 4 words togather using more complicated words and her speach is greatly improving, so with all the wonderful words in the universe, WHY is WHY her favorite? first thing in the morning, last thing before bed. every 5 minuites in between. I think im going nuts (ok more nuts) HELP!

comming out of our shell

Well hi there. We are stil alive i promise. Summer was busy but finally the white shoes are put away and into the new rutine we are settling. Thank God Oh and the best part is i have lost 12 pounds Yeah i know but hey its all iv got to brag about.

Well lets see the kids are great. In october it will be six monthes since Ellie came home, I am both shocked it has only been 6 monthes and can't beleive it hasn't been longer. It seems like she has been a part of this family forever. Shesa adjusting well and advancing well. she does all of the things she is supposed to do as a three year old. including eat cookie dough off of a beater. a true right of passage.

Mitchell is in the fifth grade this year. He has joined the band and is a trumpet player. today he learned to play three notes. we are so proud. He also was eligable to test for the GATE program at school (brains he di not inherit fom mama) He is an exceptional young man and he makes me very proud. he is also blessed with an increadably smart mouth (that he did inherit from mama)

Keleigh the intrepid 4th grader. is also thriving although the transition to the much more independent and fast paced 4Th grade has been a rough one. But she seems to have found the rhythm a few week in and is doing very well. She is growing into a really great young woman. She's got allot of friends and i think shes just always going to be the social butterfly of the bunch.

And that leaves us with Connor. What can i say about laid back Connor. Loving the first grade. Doing well. Learning to read more confidently every day. i even catch him reading to Ellie sometimes (really sweet since she is usually beating the tar out of him. If he had his way he would turn himself into a pokemon and never leave his seat in front of the computer. Next week i am going to get to start working in his class. I've been fortunate enough to be able to do this with all of the kids, i love it.

Well that's whats been going on here. Brian has been working hard. i have been sewing up a storm and have a shop set up where i am selling some of my fun little creations (ill try to add a link to the sidebar) I should be better about posting now that things are calmed down.
