Wax On Wax Off

Ellie and Lucy started karate this year.

They have had the best time.

They were a little hesitant at first but now they absolutely LOVE it.

Normal.

For the past oh I don't know like 8months our life has been dare I say hectic.... I have been pouting a bit (just a bit... and not really out loud) and I keep saying that I just want things to go back to normal. But I had this epiphany today that maybe THIS is normal?!?!

So now I think I would like to be abnormal.

Our day today wasn't so bad. I have been a tad on the tardy side of blogging so instead of just updating you all I am just going to carry on and ramble like you should know what I am talking about....

So someone came to look at our house today. That was exciting and terrifying. I had a bit of a panic attack for 2 er 3 reasons. 1) I feel like my house is NEVER clean enough
2) I really want it to sell so I can just move on
3) I don't really want it to sell because I am not ready.

anyways, we had some really positive feedback so that's good....

Lucy had swimming today and she loves it. I told her she must be part fish. She informed me that if something was PART fish it was called a MERMAID..... hahahaha what a kid.

Ellie is sick. One person gets better then we are back at the doctor. I think I must have a lesson to learn somewhere in all these doctors visits. She isn't going to die by the way.... in case there was concern.... she's fine.

Penny is well..... penny. Loud.... bossy.... did I mention loud????

well that is life on Wednesday. I am pumped for bedtime popcorn and a diet Pepsi. It's the small things in life people!

I had a break from reality..... or maybe it was a snap..... anyways, it was kind of nice to cancel everything one day and just hang out with the girls. In school the unit we are on is called, "Once Upon a Time". One of the chapters is about the story of the gingerbread man.... it suggested we bake some. BUT I am opposed to out of season baking.... like really morally against it. So I decided to change the suggestion (you have that sort of control when you're in charge ;) ). So we made sugar cookies with the gingy cut out and decorated them into mummies.

Now sometimes I might come across as fun but it is a myth. My children will tell you I am a horrid supporter of sticker books, colouring pages, playdough, and cookie decorating for children. I cannot sit idly by and watch children INCORRECTLY colour, decorate, and place stickers. It drives me crazy. BUT like I said.... i had snapped. So the kids actually got to decorate the cookies. I may let them do it again. It wasn`t so bad. There were only but a few times I had to distract myself with facebook.

Now with out further adu.......

THE MUMMIES

some of them may suffer from the egyptian flu.....
