Kaylee dancing

I just had to post this video of Kaylee, my little performer. She just LOVES musicals! Here she is dancing to Hairspray's "Ladies Choice".

We're getting closer!

Next week someone is coming to look at the house even though we aren’t putting it on the market until just after Easter. So now we are in a rush to declutter the house and clean it up. Or I should say I am…Barry will be moving everything out when we move, so cleaning and packing is my job. I hope it sells because then there won’t be any stress of keeping the house clean for open houses next month. We’ll also be able to finalize a close date and start looking at houses in my hometown! So exciting! I’m going to the bank on Monday to see exactly how much we can afford, hoping it’ll be more than what we have now since the interest rates are so low.

Our new computer is supposedly going to be delivered on the 31st. I hope I don't miss it because normally they do deliveries right after I have to leave to go get Kristen at school so I miss them and then Barry has to go to the depot to pick the packages up. I can’t wait! Kristen can’t do anything on the other one because it’s so slow!

Fun weekend

I took the girls to visit my parents for the weekend on Thursday. The weather was pretty nice (no snowstorms) :) and we got to shop a bit, go out for lunch a few times and saw our family! Here are a few pics I took while we were there. On Friday we visited my sister and her youngest son (the 2 oldest were visiting their grandparents for the week), where Kaylee dressed up as Indiana Jones and Kristen got her hair french braided by her Aunt Michele. Saturday I took the girls to the mall then to Jungle Jim’s for lunch then back into the mall so I could get a second cartilage piercing in my ear. :) Sunday we had the whole family over for brunch at my parents house. It was yummy! Too bad there wasn’t more food…it was all gone within 10 minutes! LOL

Barry had his somnoplasty procedure on Thursday to help him stop snoring so we'll see how long it takes! I can't wait for him to move out of the basement so it can be the girls play room again!

Computer, tooth and fun

We did end up ordering the Inspiron 518 the other day. It just seemed like it'd be a more solid choice since it had more power, HD size and a lower price. I like the look of the Hybrid, but this one will do just fine since it's supposed to be just for the girls anyway. As of right now it's supposed to arrive on the 30th, but I'm sure it'll come sooner than that.

Kristen lost her 6th tooth yesterday morning! Saturday night I was looking at it and I just knew it was going to come out soon. Yesterday morning Kristen pushed on it with her tongue and out it came! We didn't bring it with us last night so the tooth fairy didn't visit her and now because she's still not home, she won't come either. So tomorrow I'm bringing the tooth when I go over there so hopefully she'll have a visit. :)

Yesterday was a nice day. It was beautiful out so after we went to Smitty's for brunch, we went to see DH's new work site, an after-care facility (care for the elderly) and then to DeWolfe Park to play on the equipment for a bit. Around 4 we left to go to the ILs for a turkey dinner then Kristen stayed there overnight. She called this morning to ask me if I can bring some extra stuff with me tomorrow (because my ILs are babysitting the girls while I go to the dentist) and said she is going to stay overnight until Thursday when I pick her up on the way to my hometown. She was going to stay Wednesday with my niece anyway, so she's just staying a few extra nights. It'll be nice not hearing the whining and arguing and tattling that comes when both girls are here. LOL

Yeah...fortune teller I am

So remember in my last blog post where I jokingly said Barry was sick on Monday so I'll be sick on Wednesday? Yeah...it came true. LOL I woke up on yesterday morning not feeling very well and soon after that threw up then spent the day in pain along with a fever, throwing up and the dreaded "d". I'm a lot better today, but still pretty weak. I'm so glad it was only a 24 hour thing. Good thing Kev & Lynda took Kaylee for the day and overnight last night! First time ever that she's been overnight somewhere when Kristen wasn't. It was nice!

We decided that with some of Barry's tax money that we'd buy a new desktop computer for the girls since our old one is as slow as molasses. I went and ordered Dell's Studio Hybrid and was SO excited to get it, but I found out I didn't order a NIC card in it so there'd be no way to connect to the internet! I cancelled the order last night (which was $939) and went to reorder the exact same thing today and now the total is $1210! WTF? I guess it was on sale or something when I first ordered it...bummer. There's no way we're spending that amount of money on a computer that mostly just the girls will be using, so now I'm look at the Inspiron 518. It has a lot of power and HD space and will cost a few hundred less than the Hybrid. Too bad though...the Hybrid runs on 70% less power. :(

More sickies

Saturday Kaylee came down with the same thing Kristen had on Thursday and was fine by the next day. Now this morning Barry got sick too..maybe it'll be my turn on Wednesday.

Today my Crumpler "Status Belly" purse came in the mail! It also came with all this neat stuff too...love Crumpler products! My "Stamp Claimer" camera bag looks just like it did when I got it a year ago!

Sick

Today Kristen was supposed to have a “Beach Day” at her school but she became sick early this morning and I had to keep her home so I told her we could have our own Beach Day…when I gave them a bath I tinted the water blue and said they could wear their bathing suits, they got to wear a t-shirt and shorts, then we blew Touchable Bubbles on the living room floor and for lunch they had a picnic :) Kristen didn’t eat much, but she still had a great time. :) (You can see a few pics on my 365 blog linked on the side bar)



So yesterday I got Kaylee's Dora DS skins in the mail and put them on...she is THRILLED with it! It looks really cool too! Now to get a Twilight one for my own. LOL

Gawjuss

Our bottom stairs are finally done being laminated and they look gawjuss!! SO much better than before! It took a few days to do it because my FIL only had enough clamps to do a few stairs at a time and the clamps had to stay on for a day before they could be put on the next ones. Here's my 365 picture for today:

Here's a before picture for reference :)

Not much going on today...we're supposed to be getting some snow and freezing rain into the morning, so I wouldn't be surprised if school was canceled. Although now that I said that, it probably won't be. LOL Have a great one!
