Happenings

Well a lot has happened since I last blogged...first off my daughter got a part in the school play!!! Yeah, plus she also got 1st place in her science fair!!! Now she gets to go to District and try to place there. I am so excited and proud of her. I just wish I wouldn't keep getting bad reports on the boys, but they are doing good stuff also that I'm proud of. Zach also did a science fair project and even though he didn't win, he did a good effort...and he's in cub scouts and seeming to do a good job there. I have a wish that he will go through scouts and get his Eagle. That would be so great. I know he's only a Weblo (spelling? I'm to tired) right now, but he seems to be enjoying it. David is also in scouting he just moved up to Bears. I also have the same wish for David. He was at school the other day and he wasn't feeling good and wanted to come home. My mom told him that if he came home he wouldn't be able to go to scouts since it was scout day. He decided to stay at school because he wanted to go to scouts....Yeah!!! I was so happy to hear that. Mary is working on getting Girl Scout Cookie orders. She wants to get at least 500 boxes. So any help here would be great. If you order we can ship them, we have done it before and we will do it again.
Work is really kicking my butt....We opened up on last Wednesday on the 14th and I haven't had a day off until this wednesday the 21st. Plus I also worked before the store opened and I also worked up at the other store in Harrisville....So that means I haven't had a day off since the Saturday the 10th....what a long time to go without a day off...Now monday the 12th I didn't get paid for, but I still worked about 3 hours in the store to help get it ready and tuesday I got paid for then the rest of it I did also....wow...so now my schedule will be as follows....M & T 4- cl, Wed off, Th 9-3 or 4, f & Sa 4-cl, Su 10-12 then later on at night so I can do inventory...that is what my schedule will pretty much look like from now on. I will get Wednesday off. Well at least it's one night off and not 7 days straight anymore.
Ok now let's talk about Ben...he is growing up so fast. I have some pics of his 1st year pictures and he is just so cute. I know all mothers think their child is cute, but he is because everyone keeps telling me that also. Now I know some people will lie to the mothers just so they don't hurt their feelings, but I have never gotten that feeling. Ben hasn't quite got the handle of walking on his own yet, but he is working on it. He walks along things and will walk if you are holding his hands, but not by himself yet. I am hoping he will start to do that soon. My favorite character of my son is his eyes and his smile....His eyes are so beautiful, they are a steel gray and turn blue occassionally...and his smile just lights up a room especially with his laugh. He has a cute smile like his sister and a laugh that's as contagious as his brothers...Plus he's also got the lighter hair like his two older siblings. Not quite as blond but still blond the same. Ok well I think I have written enough and I'm done bragging about my kids....Hope to see you soon.
