First day of school

Here are pics of the kiddos on their first day of school. Bryan is in 5th grade, Morgan 3rd and Paul in Kindergarten.

what a Saturday!

We started our Saturday by moving out the old washer-transmission went out in it. We have had it 14 years. Kinda strange to see it go, it was the first big purchase Mike & I made. He surprised me when he suggested that we get a front loader. I have always wanted on and today Morgan, Paul & I went and picked out a Matag (made by Whirlpool) Renee & Jerry came over and got it in the house and tomorrow Mike will get it hooked up. Can't wait to see how those uniform shirts wash up.

Tonight Morgan and Paul are playing outside in the cool evening. Chores are done and pizza and malts are on the schedule for supper. We got a great used sectional couch (Thanks Kay) and it matches the living room. Kids are begging me to let them sleep on the hide-a-bed and I might just let them.

Mike & Bryan are at the state fair. Mike had to work in the H&R booth and Bryan found out he got a blue ribbon on his heritage project titled "My families involvement in WWII"

Pizza timer is going off...will post some pics tomorrow once my laundry room is in "order"

Pauls Dream Job II

If you ask our 5 year old what he wants to be when he grows up he will tell you without a moments rest, "A hog farmer!" He loves anything that has to do with pigs. He got his chance to show in the pee wee showmanship class at our county fair (he even work a pork race t-shirt with the pork logo) and was in his prime. That kid took the job serious but at the same time when he left the ring with the pig he was all grins and said, "Mom 3 years is to long to wait to get to do this for real, can we buy some pigs this week?"

I will have more pics coming, as they are on Karalyn's camera. Morgan took these pictures.

The Day After

TIRED. That is how Morgan described herself this morning. Its a good thing the school gives them the day off. Mike took the boys to school this morning so Morgan and I are still in pjs. Pictures you ask...well...I forgot the attachment for my disk. Will have to post pics tomorrow.

It was a beautiful day and the weather was perfect. All the kids played outside. The food was great and no one left hungry. Morgan had brats, potato salad, pasta salad, frog eyed salad, beans, cake and punch. There was nuts and mints as well. Mike & Karalyn grilled the brats.

Today is going to be a "girls" day. We have done laundry and dishes..WAIT...that's going to stop! We are soon going to grab some frog eyed salad and head upstairs to watch a bunch of movies I recorded for her.

Have a great Monday-Morgan says there is a pillow calling her name :)

First Communion

Today is Morgan's First Communion. Let the crazyness begin! Morgan woke up crabby. So this should make for an interesting day. I am about to get her hair done-if I can convince her to eat breakfast.

Food is ready and we will eat at 4:30. Mass is at 12:30 but Mike, Bryan & Morgan along with myself need to be at church by 11:15. Bryan will be singing with the children's choir. Everyone else will arrive right before 12.

Will update more later-need to convince Morgan to eat. I think the nerves have set in...
