Oh bloggins!

I have not been really good about my blog lately. I have a ton of pictures to post, but I keep forgetting to take the camera to work so that I can post the pictures. Scarlett 4th birthday was this weekend, and it was great. A lot of people showed up and she had the best time ever. We also decided to have a garage sale this weekend. It rained the whole time! IT was horrible. I did sell a washer and dryer which was great, because now we have more room in our storage shed. WE got Scarlett a karaoke machine for her birthday and she has been singing on it since she got it. She also got a bike for her birthday, and she was so excited! School has been kicking my butt. I am taking accounting and finance, and I hate them both. I really don't see why I have to take Acccounting. I plan on hiring an accountant! All of the students in the class get so into the discussion about where to put money and what types of accounts to use, and I am sitting in the back of the class going, "what is wrong with these people?!" Mike is likeing his classes a lot. I wish I could take some of the classes he is taking, because they seema lot more fun than mine. But lets face it, shoving nails in my eyes would be more fun than accounting! Any way, that pretty much catches you up on what has been going on.

Yo Gabba Gabba!

All you haters are crazy! This show is AMAZING!

blah blah blah!

I have so much to blog about lately, but I have been so busy, it is hard to find the time to blog. With Mike and I both in school ful time, and work full time, and kids, I am too exhausted to do anymore typing at 11pm. This weekend was our second weekend together as a normal family. We decided build shelves in our closet. When we moved into our house, we had huge closet, but no shelving in any of them. We literally thre piles of clothes into the closets in April, and have not moved those piles since! We have not had time to mess with it. Finally, I am having a garage sale that forced us into organizing. It was not a fun weekend, but it was very productive. But what is the deal with kids? When life is out of their norm they act like they can just act like maniacs, and it is no big deal. Here is a list of the things that they managed to do while we were working on the closet:
1. Friday morning, as I was getting ready to dress Owen, I discovered that he had emtied an entire bottle of Elmers glue all over his clothes in his closet.
2. Scarlett dumped an entire bottle of baby oil on our carpet.
3. Owen took my good lipgloss and painted our toilet seat and rug with it.
4. They both colored on our brand new coffee table.
5. They took their makers, some ribbon, a toleit paper roll, and lots of toys, and dumped them in the bathtub full of water, and just so you know, when you put markers in water they leak color all over everything!
6. Scarlett peed in her doll potty instead of the normal potty.
7. They broke all of their colors into small pieces.
8. I found Owen in the living room naked, with a beanie on, two different shoes on, eating apples, watching backyardagins. Don't you worry, I will be posting that picture real soon.
9. They faught over everything!
10. They painted their panda's but with my good eyeshadow.
There was lots of time in time out, and a few more spankings then they have had in their lives, but the closet is done. I know what you are thinking, "where the heck were you...because aparently you were not watching your kids!". I was watching them! they are just really sneaky these days. My kids have a pretty good schedule, but when it is switched up at all they obviously can not cope! But the closet is done!

It's official!

We are no longer business owners! yippee yippee! I can't say it enough, "I am so happy!" Mike just has to look for a normal job. We will have more time together. And most importantly, when we leave work, WE LEAVE WORK. Our jobs won't follow us home. We don't have to worry about employees. We can have time off on holidays together. The list could really go on for days. Oh, we don't have to worry about taxes, it will just be taken out of our paychecks! Mike gets a PAYCHECK! Oh and here are some new pictures! Random pictures...

I am BANISHED!

This weekend Scarlett and Owen were playing, and Scarlett was not sharing with Owen and she was bossing him around. We had planned to go ride bumper boats at this place in town, and I told Scarlett if she wanted to go she had to be nice and quit bossing everyone around. As soon as the words left my mouth, she turned around and yelled at Owen that he could not "walk the plank".(I had rolled up a rug and it was sitting on the coffe table and she was using the rug as "the plank") So I had to say we could not go ride bumper boats. Then my sweet little girl runs to me and says, with tears rolling down her face, "It makes me so mad when you do that!" I said, "Well Scarlett, it makes me sad when you do not listen, I wish I did not have to take away the bumper boat rides, but you WILL learn to listen." Then she says, "Well it doesn't make me mad, I am just really frustrated and I just want to banish you." Yeah, That is what I have to deal with!

SAMPSON!!!!!

The other night a friend and I were talking. Somehow we started talking about salmon and My friend said, "Scarlett, how did you come up with that name?" (funny, I was sure I had asked her that question before, but apparently, because of her answer, I have not EVER asked that question!) Scarlett said, "I thought of that name because of Salmon in the bible." I started to think about it and this is what began to happen in my brain:
1."Well, because there were a lot of fishermen in the bible, I guess the word salmon might have been mentioned."
2."Where in her children's bible does it mention salmon?"
3."Maybe in her sunday school class they said the fisermen caught salmon."
4." hmmmmm...I am so confused!"
5. "OH MY GOSH! SAMPSON!"

I said, "Scarlett, did you mean Sampson?" She said, "Oh yeah, Sampson!" I said, "Sampson like the strong man who got his hair cut of and lost all of his strength...that "salmon"? She said yes! So we named our dog Salmon when it should have been Sampson! We can not change it now, he is used to it! But needless to say, I have learned my lesson!

Scarlett Scarlett Scarlett!

She cut her hair! I know that at some point most kids cut their own hair, or their siblings hair. I wish Scarlett had cut Owen's hair, but no...she cut a huge chunk out of the side of her head right behind her ear. No more pony tails, no more pig tails, no more braids. Just hair down in the eyes! When I asked her why she did it she said, "Mom, I just wanted a new style." What!? Who says that?! I said the next time you want a "new style" come talk to me and we can make it happen together.

Also, Scarlett is really in to art projects like drawing and painting. Our carpet has been painted, and a bed too, oh and some clothes! I do not want her to stop drawing and painting, so I had to get creative. She really loves to draw on herself too. Some people would frown on this, but I am supposed to choose my battles right? Well coloring on yourself is not a battle I choose to fight, especially if it saves my carpet and walls. My new rule is you can only color on yourself and paper.
