Don took a couple days off to get work done around the house. Well yesterday nothing got done but groceries and a nap for Don. So, today we had to really hit it. First was cleaning out the stuff in the garage, throwing some away and re-arranging the rest. Kim was taking the kids to do errands and to a friends football game and Kyla didnt want to go so she stayed with us and we put her to work earning her keep LOLAfter the garage was cleaned, we started on the zillion windows that we have LOL We always start on the top cuz it is the hardest part Photo by Kyla LOL
And we put Kyla right to work. She thought it was great to squirt the cleaner on and have her very own paper towels LOL She had fun washing. When we got to the front, she got to climb up the big ladder.
When the front windows were done, Kyla got to climb through the window!! Then it was off to the yard. Grandpa was going to fertilize so she followed him and watched and I am pretty sure she was talking the whole time LOLWe still have to do the bottom windows tomorrow but we got alot done today with Kyla's help!! She told her mom that her and Kaleb missed all the fun today LOL
The other day Valerie was here to get Zac and Valerie, Kim and I were all talking in the kitchen. Valerie hears all this screaming coming from the living room!! She went to check and it was Kaleb screaming. It appears that Kaleb was busy watching his cartoon shows when....all of a sudden.....
Zac gets the remote and plops himself on the loveseat with the BIGGEST smile on his face and is laying there changing all the channels of the TV~~driving Kaleb crazy!!! LOL P.S. Kaleb's cry was re-enacted but not as well as the original cry!! LOL
Kyla had her first Open house and she was quite excited. I even got a personal invite!! :-)
This is her teacher, Mrs Wisely. Grandpa teases Kyla about how wise her teacher is LOL This is the table that she sits at: She took us on a school tour and we saw the lunchroom, the library, the gym, and her art room. It was alot of fun and she has lots of friends and she really enjoys school and she is learning tons too!! She can even read some now, it is pretty cool!!
Last week one day, Zac learned to climb the ladder on Kaleb's bed. He would climb and play up there and then go down the slide. He sees Kyla and Kaleb run down the slide. So the first time, he thought he would be super cool and run down the slide. He got going so fast, that he scared himself LOL but.....he didn't fall!! He was graceful!!and then he would only slide after that. We got the video camera out and see if he would do it again, but he wouldn't. He just looks like he is going head first though LOL We told Valerie about him running down and she was glad that she wasn't here to see it, LOL It was funny though!! Here is a video of about the 3rd time he climbed up the ladder.
Today the kids painted Frank wood masks. Zac likes to paint and he gets all excited and swings the brush everywhere, and yes, with the paint on it: Kaleb is very serious when he paints. Guess he is really concentrating really hard:
Here are the 3 of them sporting the Frank Masks!! Cute huh?? Notice that Zac is looking out one eye hole!! LOL
They had lunch on their Frankenstein plates too!! :-)
We went to Allissa's house for Tacos, and dips etc. It was all good and thats cuz Valerie is such a good cook!! ;-) Ate and now for opening of the GIFTS!!! yay!
A cool jacket from Kim and Jess that she saw earlier and just HAD to have that day!! Little did she know that she was getting it for her B-day.
Money is always the perfect gift too. She loves spending money!!! and what girl doesn't??
Cake and Candles~~~First, I was worried about all the fire, and thought we better have the FD on speed dial, just in case!! LOL
She blew them all out and we knew that she could cuz of all the HOT AIR!! ROFL Although I must admit that it did get just a Tad smokey!!! Grandpa and Allissa!!
We hope you will have a great day tomorrow!! We love you and are very proud of you!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Oh yah and Welcome to the Wild and Wacky teenage years!! :-)
