Saturday Morning

Today is a good day :-) I have my little urchins destroying the house, and Dora chanting to me about sticky tape. It's chilly outside and I'm drinking coffee. We're discussing what everyone needs to be for Halloween, between eating french toast and feeding Stella pretzels. She, by the way, will be a lady bug.

We are going to go on a costume-finding mission today. John is hunting, so we pretty much can do what we want. I am also going to try and get Kayden's bed moved into the middle bedroom. Her room is going to be pink, black and white... not really Paris-y or Poodle-y, but it should turn out how she wants. I'll have to post pictures of the finished product. We got her a flat screen for her birthday, and that room has the U Verse. So, I'm going to work on the parental controls on the tv and some wall painting... today... I think.

Kayden can count, or "skip count" as she says, by 5s and 10s. Even though her teacher doesn't impress me, she's learning. Kylee is learning how to be a bully. I'm thinking it has to do with the fact that she's one of three girls in a room of 12 kiddos. Hopefully, it's not her nature and it will go away... girlfriend and I will have to go toe-to-toe!

I mounted my blades to my boots last week, but didn't go and have them sharpened. The man that is doing it is a coach and Southwestern Regionals are at his rink. I figured I'd give him the duration of the competition and then bug the heck out of him.

Kayden had her 5th birthday party at the bowling alley last weekend, and it was a hit!

She got tons of clothes, the flat screen I mentioned, Barbie stuff and I think one or two Hannah Montana things... it was hard to keep track. She had a Bratz cake, which was random. She's not a Bratz fan, so I think it was because there were cute little girly toys on it. Here are some pictures.... I can't believe we own a 5-year-old. She's a rock star.
