Luke's Birthday

Last Friday the 17th, was Luke's 6th birthday. Since Fridays are Orchestra days, and we had a work bonfire that night, we celebrated his big day on Saturday.

Saturday morning, bright 'n early, we had family pictures. This was our first professional family picture since 1995. lol...:D It was FREEZING!!! The photographers assistant was trying to get us to not think about the cold, ha ha ha she had a coat on! :D Yet we got through it, haven't seen the pics yet, but hopefully soon!

After pictures, we dropped Abby off to help with a friends horsesale, and went to Toys 'R Us. (when I was little I called it Toys R.S.) Luke was given money to buy his birthday gift and happily set off the find the perfect thing that he "needed". After a couple hours, he finally decided on a Storm Trooper costume complete with the mask and gun. He looks pretty cute!

We then took the Birthday Boy to Incredible Pizza for lunch. And being the good siblings that we are, *angelic halos*, we gave Luke all of our tickets.

I babysat this morning, came home, ate lunch, worked on school, went back in town, almost got killed in the Parking lot, and got 2 shots. Lol, sounds like a perfect day huh! Oh to top it off, it was raining, and then I went to babysit again. I had to update my immunazations today, I had not had any since Kindergarten. One of them hurt pretty bad, instant muscle cramps, then I bled on my shirt...not good. Anyhow, I still want to be a nurse, because then I'm the one sticking people! Oh dear...

Next week is my trip!!! Whoo hoo!!! I leave on Tuesday, so I had better start getting my things put together.

I got prints of my senior pictures last week. I just couldn't bring myself to be illegal, so if you would like to see them, I will try to remember them Friday.

Tomorrow I am going for a meeting with some Professors/Admittance advisers for SBU. Should be interesting...:D Have a blessed night!

Last night Madalyn, Luke and I were home while the other kids were at music lessons. We decided to make some chocolate chip cookies (Angie's recipe of course, they are the best!) and dinner at the same time. :D Yeah we are a little ambitious. Luke was a great help, he pealed the carrots, helped mix the cookie dough and as shown in the pictures, slaved over the hot stove. Mom came home and was startled by Luke cooking chicken on the stove. :D Lol he looks pretty cute!

This week has been really crazy with a lot of babysitting. I believe I have babysat a total of 14 hours this week, not counting my personal family. Last week I also had my Senior pictures done. It was a lot of fun and the pictures turned out nice, despite me not being very photogenic. :P Maybe I will be illegal later and post a couple....shhhh. :D We are also having family pictures done on the 18th, taking advantage of the beautiful season. I LOVE fall!!! We are all wearing black tops and jeans, really looking forward to it.

Tomorrow morning I am going to serve Pancakes at a local clubs...um..thing. They gave me $200 towards my trip so I'm a little indebted. But good news is, my balance for my GS trip is completely paid off!!! Yeah!! I'm gone from the 28th through the 2nd, really looking forward to it. I guess that's it for now, TTYL!

P.S. I REALLY love Advanced Biology! :D

Nobody died...yet :D

A conversation with my family...

Tonight we went out to eat in celebration of my Dad's birthday. During the course of the meal, another group came in and the following occurred...

A boy about age 7 asks a teenage girl, "What's your name?"

To which the girl replied, "Oh I don't have a name!"

Luke, after listening in, comments, "Huh that is weird, that girl doesn't have a name!"

Mom and I burst out laughing. As tears are coming to our eyes, Madalyn furthers the hilarity.

"What?!?! He's rolling in lemonade?!?!?" *normal clueless Madalyn look*

The moral of this story: Kids will believe anything they hear.....and don't talk to Madalyn.

By the way, this is a very normal conversation for our family to have. If you have been around Madalyn and I when we are tired or had caffeine...well you understand.

Anyway needless to say we/I am a little loopy tonight. "Friday Syndrome", it actually is a medical diagnosis...:D Its getting late and I am going to leave before I say something even more goofy.
