Had a busy couple of days. Yesterday I went with Ben's class to see the Junie B. Jones musical play. It was wonderful! Ben and his classmates (and all the mommies and daddies that went) were laughing and enjoying every minute of it. If it comes to your area...please go see it. Especially if your kids are as nuts about Junie B. as Ben is.
Last night we had an awesome soccer practice. We have two big games this week...and we really needed to get some plays together. The kids worked hard and Kristian scored an amazing goal from the side on one of our best goalies. I pray she will score in the games this week. It would do wonders for her self esteem.
After practice we dropped Ben off at the house with Lauren ond Nick...and then Chris and I ran to Walmart to pick up a few last minute halloween things (candy, black hair paint, yarn for a wig). Lauren was supposed to feed Ben dinner (which I had already cooked) and get the boys to bed. When we came in from shopping it looked like a heard of elephants had been trouncing through our house. Lights on all over the house (which was our first clue no one was asleep)... food on counters, dripping down sink, on kitchen floor and table...crusty plates on counter, food still in pots (hardened) on stove top...all the pillows from the couch on the floor...four tv's on and up loud...every playstation controller and steering wheels (to racing game) spread out across office floor...paper and markers scattered on desk...magnetix (all 500 pieces) spilled out on Ben's bed. We hear Ben yelling at Lauren...and Lauren yelling at Ben from our room...and Nick calling for help (with homework) from his room.
Good grief!
I don't even think it was worth it to get out by ourselves.
It took us about 40 minutes to clean up...pack up...and shut up the kids.
We were exhausted by the time we sat down to watch some tv. We only made it through 2 shows and then we had to head up to bed.
First thing this morning we had plumbers come to fix our leaking toilet and the nozzle on the side of the house.
They were in and out while I sat there putting the finishing touches on Nick's costume. Extra buttons, a gold chain attached to his vest, and trimming the yarn wig I made into a cute bob (just like Johnny Depps in the movie).
We will be leaving for church (after visiting our neighbors houses) around 5:45 tonight. I will make sure to take lots of pictures of the evenings happenings.
YOU ALL BETTER DO THE SAME!
I want to see pictures of all your little rugrats on tomorrows blogs!
