Block 2, Check!

Done, Done, Done with block 2! Oh my how I am looking forward to the long summer break, even though I love school and everything! Just ready to read books for pure entertainment and not for school! I did really well this semester, even thought people told me that block 2 is the hardest! So yippee! bring on the summer fun!

This is how she rolls

So this is what I saw after I was finished doing the dishes and hadnt seen Bella or her little friend for awhile. I couldnt see them either, until I looked in the closet and found them on top of the dresser. She said, Oh Hi mom, as my jaw was hitting the floor! Then she said um we cant seem to get down! I think the mess was of no concern at all!

And by the way, they were both able to get down all be themselves but were " too tired" to clean up!

Easter, this is all I got!

Actually this picture above isn't even from Easter but the girls were in their Easter dresses!

I said happy Easter Bella, she gave me her happy face!

Clo looks a little scary in this one too! My girls are just so photogenic, I know you're jealous!

I am the worst when it comes to taking pictures! Easter was great as always, the good habit rabbit most definitely didn't come ( if you've seen my kids room, you would understand), but the Easter bunny paid a little visit!

Kindergarten field day

Clo had a field day in April and it was really fun to watch her compete, because she has no competitive bones in her body! She is very fast but will stay at the same pace as the person next to her! But she did about 17 events and got first place in all but 3 events! way to go CLO!

Happiest place

Yummy dinner, enjoyed while bella slept in the stroller

The picture below is right before the park opened and I said," ok, show me how excited you are to be here!" typical!

We went to Disneyland for a quick weekend trip during conference weekend in April. We actually didnt tell them until about 10 minutes before we left and I got their reaction on film! priceless! Chloe's favorite ride was Teacups, Bella's was small world ( 5 times, try getting that out of your head!).

We started out the day with the very first ride being space mountain, Bella's head was barely at the line, I'm pretty sure that she was the smallest person to ride that ride that day! After getting off, we expected to find her in tears, but she had a huge smile and said I laughed and I cried! Fun times, cant wait to return!

Last week was without a doubt the craziest week I have had in a long time. I knew going into it that it was going to be and even texted a good friend of mine and told her that if I didn't make it thru the week ( alive), that she could have all of my clothes! It was sad dropping Chloe off at school every morning and having her say," I love you mommy, see you tomorrow!) But I made it alive and well, even got 100% on my lab practicum! Here is what my week looked like:

Tuesday:
Get kids ready for the day, drop off Chloe at school, drop off Bella with a friend, school for me.
After school got out at 12:30, head to the hospital to pick out my patient, head to friends house to pick up Bella, pick up Chloe from school, head home and start dinner.
4:00 start my care plan for my patient, Chris gets home, helps with dinner, eat dinner, keep working on care plan.
Chris gets kids ready for bed, I go in for prayers and kisses goodnight, keep working on my care plan. 6 hours and 22 care plan pages later, go to bed.

Wednesday: same routine in the morning with Clo, work on care plan some more, take Bella to friends house, work at hospital until 8:30, come home and have a bowl of cereal, work on care plan, go to bed.

Thursday: same thing as Wednesday!

Friday: Get myself ready, kids ready, drop them off at school and friends house, head to school, take my practicum ( which I aced, did I mention that?), give a group presentation. Get home at 4:00, don't feel like making dinner so we call Olive Garden for take out. Head to pick it up and wait, wait and wait some more. Finally they get the order and its wrong, so I wait some more, but get 4 free meals out of it! I only ordered 2!

Anyways, like I said, it was busy, but we all managed to survive! School, by the way, is going really well, I keep very busy with it, but I am LOVING it!

On a side note, I have the greatest friends and family members who have been helping with my kids, praying for me, and keeping me sane! I love you guys!

Halloween

Happy Halloween from Minnie and Alice, Sally ( from Nightmare before Christmas) and stick man!
