I can't believe next week is the last week off and then back to work - atleast until the next layoff in March! Someone called yesterday with a rumor that they are going to put us on 4 10 hour days when we go back?? That has it's pros and cons - three days off is nice, but 10 hours is a long day when you have 2 hours of driving as well... Long time away from the kiddos! Gas and daycare would be cheaper though. We are waiting to see if we are going to make a trip up north to get a snowmobile from a relative at a great price!:)
I think I forgot to mention that Erin got her ears pierced! The week after Christmas, the girls (Amber, Brooke, Erin, Lyndsay) and I and Fransisco went to the Great Lakes Crossings Mall to finish up my shopping for my mom's Christmas. We were sitting at the food court eating and the girls pointed out that Clair's was just over yonder and we should let Erin get her ears pierced! She had told me numerous times that she wanted to get her ears pierced (wierd for a 3 year old, I know but we're talking about Erin:) So, I asked her if she still wanted to get them pierced and she was all for it! So, we went over, filled out the paperwork but the lady was real slow in getting the process done. Apparently the store had been shoplifted while we were standing there. Anyway, Erin got cold feet just as she was getting started so Amber took her to the bathroom because when you get cold feet you apparently have to go potty! When she came back, she was ready to sit on Amber's lap on the chair! Amber kept her entertained while we waited for the ladies to get ready. I told her I'd get her some ice cream afterwards if she did good. So, I hid from her behind some shelves as did Brooke and Fransisco. I figured if she could see me she'd chicken out again and want mommy. The ladies asked her what kind of ice cream she was going to get and BAMMM, piercing done! Erin's mouth and eyes were wide open. I ran over and hugged her and warned everyone it was only going to be a second until "WHAAAAAAAH!". She cried for about 3 minutes and then was all better! She was then very excited until we got in the van to go home and she wanted them out so she could go to sleep! I had to threaten her to leave them in! All in all it made for a fun evening and she's liking her pierced ears now! Shopping was fun although it was never enough time to just "window shop"!
Isaac is funny - his teacher told me he was praying in class one day and thanked the Lord for his mom being home - he liked his mom home so much! Give me a better buyout offer GM PLEASE!!! I like being home, too!
I was just putting clean clothes away and just organized Curt's drawers last week and low and behold what did I find in the food monster's top drawers? Oreo cookies (double stuffed, doubled again by him) - yuck what were you saving them for, Curt??? I guess I need to check on the side of the bunk bed for wrappers again:( He is getting so big - his voice is changing and he is sounding so different. I love his laugh! He loves to rush through his chores and the other day only brought in 1 egg from the chickens so I told him I hope you're sure that was it because I'm going to go out and check! He ran out and came in with 6 more eggs! Funny boy!
Brooke just got home and is going to be babysitting for a couple from church tonight.
Fast forward - now it's Sunday we are on our way up north to pick up the snowmobile - enjoy the pictures! Last night we had a fun "date night" We went out and took Isaac with us...
