The time has come to leave GF

The house is packed and the boxes are gone and on their way to San Antonio! I am hitting the road in the morning to go to Michigan. Here is a picture of JJ and KK with Elwood aka Daddy Daycare. And one of JJ sitting on the floor lookin' like a little man!

White Elephant Bingo at ESC

Last Thursday we played White Elephant Bingo and I got this cute Angel doll, NOT! Oh my goodness, this doll is the most hideous thing I have ever seen in my life! Isn't that what White Elephant games are for? Tanya is modeling the doll for me. I am sure she is loving me for posting a pic of her here.

Fun at the Mall

Mandy and I took the kids to the mall to play! Boy did they have fun! Ashley LOVED the slide. JJ on the other hand was not interested. He just wanted to stand and bang on the turtle.

Getting into trouble!

Today JJ found the dog food and as soon as I walked into the kitchen he shoved it into his mouth! Gross! Oh well, I guess it won't hurt him to bad. Later in the day he found the wipes container and completely emptied it! Take a look!

Uh-Oh, We found the stairs people!

I was sitting at the table making cards and I suddenly realized that JJ was no longer in the living room! He made is way slowly, but surely to the stairs! He had a great time beating on them. Now I am waiting for him to climb them! Uh-Oh! Trouble is on it's way!

I am back again.

Today JJ and I spent some time at the mall while the dogs got there hair chopped. Boy do they look a lot better. Here are some pictures of them. Libby wouldn't come out from under the couch so don't mind that bad picture.
JJ got a bath before bed tonight so we took some pictures. He likes to stand and bang on things. The last picture is bathtime gone bad. It only took him 3 minutes in the tub to get upset with me this evening. But he was tired.

It's Sunday

Hello. Today is catch up day. JJ is taking a nap and I am cleaning the house! I have to take the dogs in today for a haircut. Finally!
John called on Friday night! He is doing well under the circumstances of OTS. He doesn't get much sleep and is overloaded with homework everynight. He should be able to start calling me on a more regular basis.
I only have 26 days left here in ND. How sad. Yesterday I took JJ to give parents a break day and Mandy and I went to town and had lunch and went shopping! It was very nice to run errands without having to haul a child in a bulky coat around with me! Speaking of coats. JJ no longer has a winter coat as Cody felt the need to make the zipper his new chew toy. So today I will be using the teddy bear snow suit until I can come up with something else.
I joined a card swap yesterday. I have to make 16 identical cards by the end of the month and I will get 15 different ones in return(I will keep one of my own!) I can't wait to see what I get. Well off to more chores!
