odds and ends...

Right now I am watching the amazing race and they are getting painful foot massages. I want a foot massage but that looks a little harsh.

Friday I took the kids to target with me while I was getting supplies for a baby shower I was throwing. Kara got out of the car carrying her (which is really Jason's) Mickey Mouse toy. I didn't feel like trying to talk her out of bringing it in so I allowed it. We did all of our shopping and when we were in the checkout line I realized that Mickey was missing. So back through the store we trekked looking for him, yet he was no where to be found. Kara was so upset that I asked the girl at the service desk if they would call us if he turned up. Yes she said. (now here's the cute part of the story) So Kara miss upset, said "he has big black round ears, and red on and yellow shoes...." I said "Kara I think she knows what Mickey looks like":). (Mickey was found and we returned for him about an hour later)

I think that I blog about the biggest loser too much as, I received a comment on my "windy Wednesday" post, where someone thought I was the Kristin from the biggest loser.

Today we took the kids to the new yogurt shop 'you top it' by blockbuster. It was awesome , you fill up your own cup with yogurt and all the toppings you want, and at the end you just pay by the ounce. And they even have kids cups where they can get whatever they want for $1.99. So Kara had like 6 toppings on her yogurt.

Do not read if you haven't watched the Biggest Loser yet

I hate Ron! Can you say "hey Kristin, I got your back......... with this knife!" GRRR!!!!!!

Getting the upper hand.....

I am finally about to over take the laundry again. I have been really slacking on it for the past 5 or so weeks, as laying on the coach sounded so much better. But one day I realized that 2 very full laundry baskets plus clothes piling up on the floor as well as the kids laundry growing was going to soon take over the house. I was almost the Sara Sylvia Cynthia Stout of laundry. So I have been putting an extra effort in to get through it... Now if I can get 3 loads done tomorrow I may just finally win!
Then I have to put it all away.....

Windy Wednesday.

Yesterday, we made the trip to Sacramento to see George and Shawna's baby, Makayla. She was so little, in case you don't know she was born 14 weeks early and weighed 1lb 7oz. Yesterday she weighed a heft 2lbs even. It was neat to be there to see how they take care of her, and Shawna explained all the stats to me on her moniter, and they were all good, close to those of a full term baby. It was just crazy to see how tiny she was.

Right now Jack is wearing Kara's shoes and walking around the house, and Kara and Bella are playing candyland, with no rules. Jason is throwing around a diaper. I got them under control!

A cute Kara story. A couple weeks ago, the kids and Grandma and I went to Khols, Kara wanted to bring her blanket in, Grandma said no, but I said yes, thinking that she would sit in the stroller and be good. Kara looks at Grandma and goes, "ha ha Grandma you lose!"

I just got done watching last nights biggest loser, so stop reading if you haven't watched it yet. I think I cried like 4 times. What a great episode. I felt so bad for Mike's brother Max he was so sad seeing his dad and brothers transformations. I think they should put him on next season. That is if he turns 18 by then. Right now Mike and Kristin are my favorites. I like Tara but she is way to crazy in the game. The best final four would be Mike, Kristin, Filipe and Tara. I felt bad for Laura as she wanted to stay in the game but her hip fracture just put her out of the game.

Easter Sunday.

Ah what a nice day we had. Such great weather, Kara was able to wear her Easter dress without a sweater or tights.
Our Easter began yesterday with the egg drop. Fun, yet crazy! Kara was just happy to get a few pieces of candy, and she was able to see friends. Meet the Easter bunny and pet real live bunnies.
This morning, we woke up to find baskets of goodies with chocolate bunnies, squirt guns and watering cans for outside. The Easter bunny also brought Kara a set of Snow white figurines that included all the dwarfs, the prince, the queen and of course snow white. Small dolls are Kara favorite things to play with right now so that worked out. Jason also got a magna doodle. He has been loving drawing and coloring lately. I don't remember Kara liking to color until she was almost 3, so its neat to see Jason color.
After pancakes, it was off to church which was awesome. Since we has so many volunteers from the Fair Oaks church, I got to go to the service instead of being in nursery. Which was nice because I was kind of bummed to miss the Easter service. After church we picked up Grandma and headed to an egg hunt at Gold Hills Golf course. Where we were supposed to see Papa but, he was a few holes away and we missed him. Then we had lunch and came home for naps.
After nap, we went to Safeway and got some steaks for BBQing. And strawberries and ice cream yum!(and ran into Jes!) We had my Mom and Dad over for dinner and then watched the kids play in the sprinklers.
Now its almost bedtime and I am tired!
