Just another boring night

It's Wednesday night and Chris is working his one night a week at Home Depot. It is 8:30 at night, Finley is in bed and Parker is up playing the wii. After work I took Parker to get his haircut and then we went to my parents house to show them. I got lucky and they fed the kids for me. Which was great since I wasn't feeling like cooking and Parker wanted breakfast for supper. I was just going to take them to Perkins, make it easy for me. But mom offered oatmeal and that was that. Thank you MOM!! So we got home around 6ish and I thought I could get the kids in bed early and call it the night. Wrong. All are wild, including the dog. I think I heard Calgon calling my name. We have Tony and Sara's wedding this weekend and are excited to see everyone. I however have not written my speech. It's going to be short and sweet. It's going to be a good time. I will probably post some pictures after the wedding and let you know about it. Until then...Caio!

Well, here I am again. I do have to admit, this is harder than I thought it would be. Even with a husband, 2 kids, and a dog, you'd think I'd have alot to say. Well, today is my mom's 55th birthday. So Happy Birthday MOM!!! Last week was kind of exciting because we took Finley to her pre-school orientation. I can't believe how big she's getting. Pre-School already. She is so excited and can't wait to go. I am excited to take her "school" shopping. She can pick out her new backpack, crayons, scissors, and whatever else is on her list. Parker will be starting 1st grade in the fall also. (Where do the years go?) We will have a before school conference with his teacher in August. He goes to the 1st grade daily for a half an hour for guided reading. He really enjoys doing that. His teacher has told us that he reads better than alot of her students. I hope he keeps it up. Chris has dropped ALOT of hours at Home Depot for the summer. He is down from 3-4 days a week including weekends to 1 day a week, and no weekends. But he still doesn't have alot of time. He is pretty much booked every weekend this summer with little side jobs. It seems like the shade/blinds business is starting to take off. That's nice. And he seems to like it. I am still working at Waldorf. We will be starting our half day Fridays soon, so I am super excited for that. Next weekend, we are going up tho the cities for my cousins wedding. I have the honor of being the Matron of Honor for Sara (Tony's future wife). I love her, she's great. (That doesn't come easy for me when it comes to who he dates) I am excited to see family that I haven't gotten to seen for awhile. And even the ones that I have. (Please don't ask about cousin's weekend, I haven't even thought about it yet). Well, until next time. -Shana

Scotto

Well, since I am new at this I will start by showing off our new puppy. His name is Scotto. I had a whole list of names and Parker says, "How about Scotto?" Ok, Scotto it is. So, we were told Scotto was a 7 week old German Shorthair/Lab. Well, we later found out he was a 5 week old mutt. So, as of right now we have no clue what he is. He's definitely Lab though. Things are going good with him so far. Just the regular puppy things, biting, peeing in the house, pooping in the house, all the fun stuff that goes along with puppies. He will go to the back door and bark, but if we aren't paying attention he'll just go on the floor. OR, if he just wants to flat out be naughty, he will go on the floor. We are working on the training, so hopefully by summer he will be done with his puppy behavior. Wish us luck with our new addition!!
