Finally Friday

What a week we had! Katherine had a great first week of school and I could not be a prouder Mama! My house looks like a bomb exploded so I'll be busy the rest of the day cleaning and doing laundry so I don't have to worry about my trashed house this weekend. Katherine has her 2nd soccer game tomorrow. I think I'm becoming a better "Soccer Mom" too. I wasn't sure I was cut out to be a sports mom but I think I'm going to like it!

I realize I've been a bad blogger so I decided today that instead of trying to come up with updates everyday to post I'm going to have a different theme for each day of the week. So now I won't just stare at a blank screen and have a panic attack wondering what to write! If I have family updates then they will be a seperate post. So now my 2 loyal readers will have something new to read everyday! ;) This is still going to be a blog to keep our family and friends updated on us and the girls too so expect to see lots of pics of my wacky children!

Manic Monday-Weekend Wrap up and Weekly Overview
Tidy Tuesday-Cleaning Tips/Organizational Tips (This is more for me than for anyone else! If I'm not organized I get overwhelmed and can't function so hopefully this will help!)
Way-Back Wednesday-Old pics of me/Cory/the girls--This should be fun for kids of all ages!
Thursday Treats-New recipes I've tried...especially SWEET treats! I love to bake and this will give me an excuse to do so.
Finally Friday-Weekly updates, pics of the girls, pics of the girls' projects (especially Katherine's school work)

I'm looking forward to being a better blogger! And please leave comments, I feel like a loser when I don't get comments! :)

Updates---Finally

We've had a great summer. Just a quick catch up post and then I'll do my best to be a better blogger!

*Trip to Arkansas in June for a family reunion and my 10 year high school reunion! Good Times...

*4th of July weekend we attended the Hall Family Reunion in Kansas City. The girls finally got to meet their Grandpa Gerald (Cory's Dad) and Great-Grandpa Roy and tons of other relatives Cory hadn't seen in 20+ years.

*On our way to Kansas City we stayed over in St Louis and went to the Arch. Katherine was FREAKED out, especially in the elevator. Kaydence was a little hesitant to look out the windows but Bridget screamed when we tried to take her away from the windows! LOL She was mesmerized at the views apparently.

*We finally took Kaydence's pacifier away at the end of July. She cried the first couple of days but she's fine now. The Paci Fairy came and took all her pacies and left her the biggest monkey I've ever seen and some sidewalk chalk.

*We bought Katherine and Kaydence bunk beds and they love 'em!

*Katherine started fall soccer with One Goal Sports. She had her first game August 29th and she was too cute! She just needs to stop trying to touch the ball with her hands.

*Katherine is starting preschool tomorrow! She is so excited. She already has her lunches planned for the week.

*Bridget is my bravest child! She is definitely into more stuff than her sisters ever were, of course THEY are the ones teaching her all of their tricks (good and bad). She flung herself out of the crib the other night and was trying to climb to the top bunk with Katherine. I don't know what to do with her!


I think that's it for now. I promise to try and update more often than every 4 months. Scouts Honor!
