The other day Rich, Maddie and myself were sitting on the couch hanging out, when Maddie started to tell us she wanted to go to the fuccc...... the fucccc...... the squirell fucccc...... UMMM what Madison?? I want to go to the Squirell Fuctory.... Factory I asked... Yes!! I want to go to the squirell factory!! OK Rich and I are shocked and laughing so hard. Why do you want to go to the squirell factory? Because they are funny and they make things and Jrula (made up name we thought) goes there. Ok so we thought she had come up with this clever little story about squirells and a factory and we continue ?ing her when Kaden comes down and saves the day by letting us know its from the movie Charley and the Chocolate Factory! How funny is that...... So I ask.. Do you know what your children are watching?? LOL I nearly pee'd in my pants from laughing!
So I had one of my pregnant adoption dreams.... So I went to visit Tami in the hospital because she just had her baby when I realize I am also wearing a hostpital gown and I cant figure out why then I remember O I have a baby but I have no idea where she is.... So I am freaking out, at that point I had to wake myself up because I couldnt handle it anymore. Am I the only one that has these crazy dreams during adoption? I have been a little emotional today and I think it stems from this dream. So comments?? I would love to hear about other dreams.
One thing I miss a ton about living in Utah is how close we lived to the mountains. I remember taking Sunday drives up to the mountains all the time. We dont get up to the mountains here to often because they arent 10 minutes away. But when we make the effort to get out there we are always so glad we did. Because today was General Conference we decided to go take a nice Sunday drive. We drove up through Allens Park and really enjoyed all the fall colors that were changing. It was nice and brisk just the way I like it! I love putting on a sweat shirt and jeans!! Anyways here are some pictures of our trip.
This was our first stop, a very old church building it is really pretty and by a nasty little pond.
The kids on a HUGE rock and Madison was all to eager to pose while big brother kept her safe
POSERS! No more words neccessary
Lost Rich's face SORRY! But more Posing
My little thinker (ya right)
More thinking (isnt he handsome)
OK then I decided Rich and I should get a pic together and here is how it went down with Kaden in control....
OK great one more ok.......
Why a picture of our legs???
Because we decided to tease Kaden with a smooch and he closed his eyes! LOL He was saying ewww my eyes
And finally we end with a gorgeous background and a grumpy Madison! Sorry that was a long one but I had to share!
So good news Kadens football team finally won a game! They have won one other game but have lost 4 and it is painful so very painful. Of course Rich and I both missed this great game because we had adoption (parenting) classes. (I will talk about that more later). Any ways we just knew this would be the game they won and we just knew that Kaden would end up getting a touch down.......... and he did. We got a Text from a friend letting us know that he had just got a touch down and we were in the middle of watching of very old somewhat pointless movie and I just about broke down and cried. I felt horrible missing a game and even worse missing his TD. He was a good sport about it and he hasnt made us feel guilty about it yet. We are so proud of him and we are so thankful to the friends who have been helping us out while we have been running around to adoption things. So GOOD JOB Kaden (Kracken... his football nickname) we love you so much! I got a bit of an insight of how hard it is going to be while we travel to get our baby girl so far away and for such a long time and let me tell you I am quite sure I will be a hot mess.. this is going to be the best but hardest thing Ive ever done.
So I always wake up in the morning with a list of things I plan on accomplishing......... ya I never make it through that list. I hate Mondays I HATE them and let me tell you why. LAUNDRY.. I do 1 load of laundry everyday but over the weekend I dont do any so on Mondays I have a huge amount of laundry to do. I know Im not alone in this I have a friend that doesnt do laundry all week until Monday... I wish I could do that but I would run out of towels and I just dont know where I would put all the dirty stuff. So here comes Monday YAA Monday kids go to school (which means no chance of accidently sleeping in) Monday means cleaning up the house after having the kids and Rich home on Sunday (gets very messy) Monday means Bathrooms because I clean bathrooms on Mondays. Mondays also mean sweeping and mopping if I get to it, I try to ignore the floor but after scraping the bottoms of my feet after the 10th time I realize ok it needs to be done (if Im way tired I will put on slippers so I can ignore it for a LONG time!)
So Mondays right am I alone in this. Should I be doing things different?? I know I sound like Im totally complaining... I am LOL BUT it really isnt all that bad but tackling this at the end of the day is not fun.
So I still have 3 loads to go and the pile is already to my chin! YIKES!! And yes it all is very wrinkled but I told Rich before I married him I dont iron!! HAHAHA
