Babysitters

Well, we did it. We moved. Closed the house. Signed the contract on the house and contracted to build. We made it to Nashville for M's hockey tournament. We got home (to the apartment) did laundry, hung pictures. The apartment seems a little more cozy now. The past week is a great big blur. 

So this morning, I plopped on the couch to sip my tea and catch up on the news. 

The morning news anchor was lamenting how difficult it is to get a good babysitter. M turned and looked at me very seriously and said "You have to get one that is really lightweight so they don't crush the baby while sitting on it." I nearly spit out my tea. 

Okay one more cuppa tea. Then it's time to take the kids for a  meningitis vaccination, drop by HOA, take kids to Skating lesson, and fulfill my promise to take them to the pool. 

Moving

We are running short of time to move and there is so much stuff...I long for the days of a covered wagon and a frying pan, boom. You're moved.

M has been busy with hockey. H has continued her lessons. Both keep bugging me to take them to the pool...I keep looking at how much more needs to be purged and packed. I keep looking at my pretty view of the pond and ponder "What have we done." The irony is the apartment we have while building has steeper steps than our house. Please pray I don't take a tumble while vacuuming...I guess I better close...I'm still trying to figure out where to put the towels with no linen closet and a cat box with no floor space.

Observation

Really dark thunderstorm rolling through...it's like Nature turned our morning into a nightclub...all dark with a strobe light and really loud bass playing.

The Flip Side of Personlities

After you read the post below, this post will make sense...this photo might be the place to start the second page of my scrapping of the 3 Blessings' Personalities. What do you think?

Angelic Blessings

I was busy packing and came across these pictures from Christmas 2012. I stopped packing and grabbed a scrapbook page that I had made at a friend's scrapbook party last week...and I wonder why it is taking so long to pack. However, these were precious angelic pictures that show the real personalities of my 3 blessings...so they needed to be preserved, now I just need to do a devil page to show the other side of their personalities. 

Travel Tryouts

Saturday was travel tryout for M. We spent the entire day at the Rink (needless to say, I did not get any packing done). H had a 9 am lesson. M had a 10 am freestyle lesson (except his Coach was out of town...so he just spent some time on the ice) We saw no point in going home when we had to be at the Rink for a 12:30 check in for tryouts. Tryouts ended at 5.

M got the call yesterday that he made the team. He is THRILLED. Now we are waiting to hear if his buddy, Michael made it. I know Michael will make it so I am really not worried. I am worried that I haven't heard from his mom yet. We text almost every day...however, since she was down at the Lake yesterday...I'm thinking her phone is at the bottom of the lake so I am not worried. Okay, maybe I'm a tad concerned about the phone...

My New Gym Buddy

Hannah is so excited. She has been eagerly awaiting to turn 12 so she could come to the Gym with me. We got her a Student Pass last week and she has taken her first class, completed orientation, done some cardio machines, and today we are going to yoga. This is really good for me because I have to be with her when she works out...so I have to work out!!!
