What a Week!
I have such a busy week. I have so many things that I need to do before we go on our vacation on Friday. I have a dentist appt, teaching, my first mutual night on Wed., Mas's pinewood derby on Thurs., appointments with my cabinet lady, and I need to pick/order tile. Plus the fact that I need to do everyone's laundry, write a will, pack for our trip, deep clean my house, and also find time to work out and watch all my shows. Jon is also extremely busy trying to get our house ready to be insulated while we are gone. This past week we have had all the rough electrical installed, a central vacuum installed, our garage floor poured, and the siding of the house began. What a crazy week. Next week on our cruise I won't know what to do with all my free time! Maybe sleep, eat, and relax!

Dad can fix anything!
The other day I plugged the disposal after Jon had left for work. I decided that I can fix it, I'd seen Jon do it several times. Well, I did kind of fix it. Although I had water and my ground up food spraying all over me and underneath my sink. After several screams and bowls of water I unplugged the drain. Well, I then struggled to get the goose neck portion of the pipe back on. I was so frustrated with it that I threw it across the room. I then told the kids that dad would have to fix it and NOT to use the kitchen sink. Well all day my kitchen sink sat full of dirty dishes. Jon finally got home and easily fixed the sink. I then started to do the dishes. Brooklyn, Brinley and Mason all commented on how great dad is and how he can fix anything! It's a good thing that he's around because mom can't do the things that dad can do. Our dad can do just about anything!

In One Month...
In has only been one month since we have broken ground. In that time our lot has been excavated, footings/foundation poured, all the framing, windows installed, rough h/vac, rough plumbing, and shingled roof. I can't believe how fast it is going!!! We might be able to just move once, which would just be across the street. How great that would be!

Finally Recovered!
From March 25 until April 3 Carter and Makenna came to stay while their parents were in Hawaii. It was fun but quite hectic!!! Just three days into their stay Makenna started calling me Mommy. Brinley kept on informing her that I was NOT her mom! Madelyn I think got jealous. It was just great when I had both of them crying at my feet and both of them saying mommy to me. I felt like I had twins! It really and truly took me about three days to recover. One evening Jon and I took the kids to the park. It was HARD to watch all of them. That evening after everyone was in bed Jon said " wow having five is a breeze compared to seven!" Both Carter and Makenna are great kids and fun to have visit. They were both very excited to see their parents! Jon and I are looking forward to our trip when Monique has all of our kids. Good Luck Monique!
