stuff

*addie says nee-hah! instead of yee-hah! and i just love it and can't bring myself to correct her.

 

*she also told me an elaborate story about school today wherein "skeve" took her string cheese out of her backpack and "gobbled it up." sounded to me like they had read a story about it, so i asked her, what was the girl in the stories name, the one who's cheese got taken. "addison marie." fact or fiction, we talked about how it's always nice to share your snack with those that don't have one. skeve's or not. ;)

 

*i love clean babies.

*i also love playaways. books on tape, you just plug in your headphones and you're good to go. you can adjust volume, speed, chapters, etc. great for exercising! now i just need to get back into my routine and i'll be good to go.

*i hate messy papers all over the fridge.

*addie does "homework" all.the.time and she likes to put them on the fridge.

*so i got an idea from a neighbor to put cork boards going down the stairs going into the basement. so then i set out to find 6 reasonably priced, cute cork boards, and i'll tell ya, it's not easy. so then i got the bright idea to make them. and i'm just not very crafty. i'm finally in the finishing stages of cleaning off gorilla glue (ugh) and measuring, leveling, and hanging them (double ugh).

then i'm going to print every one's name in vinyl and put it above their cork board.

can't wait for them to be done!

*matt finished another class tonight. one more class to go and he's half way done with his masters, hooray!

 

*no spirit week pics today. it was "city day" (lame-o) so the freshman had new orleans, how do you dress for that? christian wore some beads... ugh. the juniors had honalulu, easy peasy grass skirt and lei - done.

 

*lexi's ankle still hurts, she's still limping, and she's not going to be able to participate in the homecoming pep rally and game performance. she's super bummed (so am i) but trying to have a good attitude about it.

 

*love family fun magazine!

*we got crafty this afternoon and made some cute pink owls.

*we also bathed, put halloween up, cleaned, read books, and all the rest of the fun.
