If it's not one thing

All the kids are finally getting better from this nasty virus that has been going around. Our whirlwind just has two more days of meds and the girls are off their meds. Phew but know it is off to the vets for poor Spotty. The vet visit will cost more than it did to buy the hamster. The vets doesn't like to hold hamsters so it is kinda funny watching him when they have to go in. Poor Spotty has something wrong with his ear. Not sure they can help but gotta at least try.

Today was school picture day. The morning started out smooth enough until our artist decided she wanted to do her own hair. I wanted to let her but after a couple of her "NEW" looks we had to agree to disagree and it was either let Mommy do your hair or Mommy is not going to pay for the pictures. Of course we will see if she changes her hair when she gets to school. Our vet just put on a head band and was good to go.

Both girls have decided to run for student council and were typing their speeches last night. I was so proud when I read them. They both stated that if they did not win the would give who ever did win their full support. Such good sportsmanship. Here is hoping they do win though.

Now What to do with them

It is that time of the year. Time for picking Apples. My cousin Eric called and was taking the family did we want to go to. Silly question. So we loaded up the children and headed off to find the orchard. After only a couple of wrong turns we made it there. After paying and playing a little we got to picking. But of course got to teach the little cousin how to teeter totter first.

Got a ride to the good apples. Not sure what Daddy was doing but by the looks of it Daddy was not behaving himself. Oh well what else is new.

It didn't take the kids long to figure out that the best apples are at the top of the tree. That is were the little hands can't get their hands on them. I have to admit some of the apples even made it into the bag although I think more went into the bellies than into the bags.

Now the fun is over and a have made quite a few apple bakes so now what on earth do I do with all the left over apples. I hate to think of them spoiling but am getting tired of making apple bakes. Anyone got any good apple recipes?

Busy Busy Busy

School has started and things have started off with a bang. The girls are signed up for cake decorating, girl scouts and field hockey. our whirlwind is signed up for boy scouts and soccer and we already have three birthday party invitations. Yikes!!!! I sooo needed the long weekend I took last week. My friend Neen and I went to NH to pick up our friend Melissa and then off to Pennsylvania to stay at Neens sisters house for a quilt show and just some great time gabbing. Got to finally watch "Wild Hogs" What a great show.

Came home late Monday night and had to bake three cakes and 9 batches of frosting. It was worth it the girls had a blast at their class. Our vet decorated the ballet slippers and our artist did the flower. I already had them wrapped up before I remembered to take the picture. Opps

Sure wish I had my camera with me this morning. I came upstairs after I got home from the gym to find our whirlwind pushing one of his Thomas Trains around and sitting as one of the passengers was his hamster Spotty.LOL It was so cute. Spotty was quite content to sit and enjoy the ride. By the time I got a camera Spotty decided he was done riding.

Class for me tonight then Field Hocky in the morning. I will try to remeber my camera.
