She is trying to get a jump on the job search!
The outcome of her "job search?" " You want fries with that?"
I walked into her bedroom and this is what I found.
Her sister was having just a little bit of fun with her!!

1. Monkey has decided that her pacifier would taste so much better if she dips, splashes, and swirls it around in the DOG WATER before putting it in her mouth! YUCK!
3. The kids had a birthday party on Sat at my LEAST favorite place in the world of Children!! Chuck -e -Cheese! Blah... I feel like I need a shower when I come out of there! Maybe a power washer would do the trick! In the spirit of friendship and birthdays, we went! We survived with a 15 month old needing therapy, Chucky IS pretty scary, and two kids covered from head to toe in sanitizer!!
4. Went to the Salvation Army thrift store to add some things to our summer wardrobe! SCORE! I got some great stuff!! I love the S.A.!! I love when people see us decked out in our name brand items!! I just smirk, cuz I know how much they paid and how much I didn't pay!! :o)
5. We has some friends in town from PA for the annual Cheerleading Worlds Comp. at Disney! They are coaches of a fabulous team! They are favored this year to win! It was great to see them. GO FCA Gems!!

1. I didn't realize my dog could jump REALLY high. She bolted out the back door after a duck while my son attempted to hook her up to her chain. The duck took off and up went the dog. No she didn't get it, but it was close! Guess we should re-think the height of any fence we may want to build!
2. If you read the directions wrong on a box of soft pretzels, you will overcook it and cause a nasty stench in your kitchen! Not to mention a soft pretzel that isn't so soft and a plastic plate with a hole in it!
3. I am convinced that Monkey's cough isn't allergies or asthma. At least this week anyway! Her green snot and fever are back! Off to the dr. again on Monday!
4. Kids got their report cards on Friday! They both did amazing! I am going to be broke if they keep this up!! (they get a dollar for each "A" and 50 cents for each "B") FCAT grades will come back for my boy next month!
5. The boys went camping for the weekend: $20.00, My girl spent the night at grandma's: $0.00, monkey went to bed: some Tylenol and cough medicine, a night alone -the tv, me, and a cup of tea.... PRICELESS!!
6. Monkey is now signed up for infant swim survival ! She starts April 27th for two weeks! This should be interesting! We found a fabulous lady from our church who has taught swim for over 30 years! She is so sweet and just loves these little ones to death. Yes, monkey is only 15 month old, but this is the best time. The tears at this point aren't because they are afraid of the water, but because they are being separated from mom! This is opportune time in their life to start cultivating a love and respect for the water!
7. We went down to our annual Bloom and Grow Festival downtown! The Shriner's had a camel there. The kids decided they HAD to "get a kiss from the camel"! Picture mom, me, cringing and ready to lunge into action as this huge camel head came at my children's faces! They survived!! (so did I!) We also got a new set of lady bugs! Yes, real lady bugs! This year I am pleading and threatening that they NOT be let loose in my house! :o) They are staying on the back porch in the butterfly house or else!! Now, I am forced to go buy raisins and Gatorade otherwise, I will be known as the lady bug killer! Sorry, monkey, gotta borrow your raisins!

I can't believe we actually went out! NO kids in tow... NO diaper bag to lug around.... I am almost in tears!!! *sob* *sob*
that was headlining hubby's friend's wife!!! This was an all night laugh fest!! That is just what I needed!! Hubby's friend got us tickets to go and sit right up front! COOL!! Until I realized that this event was also for the purpose of making a DVD and cable show! Yes, we were going to be taped for the show/dvd.... and oh, don't forget that wonderful friend sat us right up front! The MC for the night was Mix105.1's own Scott and Erica!

"Nope, no one is going to take my water while I sleep, We were back to the Dr. for her cough today. They say it is still a viral cough, allergies, or acute asthma! Pretty wide range-- I know what I knew before I took her. At least now we have a plan of action to try some different things to see what works. That should tell us what this cough actually is. I also have some meds. I can give her since the FDA pulled every thing else!! (we could all use some sleep!)

Found it!!
We got Monkey some of the Crayola Beginnings Crayons! She is a little budding artist!! And of course the kids all got the staple of Easter Baskets, the epitome of pure sugar, the bounce of the walls treat--- PEEPS!
After we went through our baskets, it was off to Grandmother's house we go!! Grammy made a bunny carrot cake for the kids to all decorate! How cute!! They loved it and did a great job! Then they had an egg hunt in the back yard!! So much fun.... Thanks grammy and Pappy!!
"We are going where?"
They had a little area just for the little ones that Monkey had a blast in!! 
It was a fabulous service! I took part in the service by participating in "cardboard testimonies" ! Wow, it was really moving to watch all the changed lives gather on the stage. One right after the other! Standing up there watching the congregation crying with joy over what the Lord was doing, was so amazing! If I can get a copy of the video of our service, I will post it! If you have no idea what "cardboard testimonies" are , you can look it up on YOUTUBE. There are several!
