Cheap Entertainment!!

Andrew is our little sleepwalker. He doesn't do it every night...usually just when he's overly tired. And it usually starts about 2 hours after he goes to bed. So we were a bit surprised last night when he came downstairs. But it was sooo worth it!

Ryan and I were still up watching tv when Andrew came downstairs and got a drink of water. After drinking it, he carried his empty cup over to the couch where I was sitting.


Me: "What are you doing?"
Andrew: "I don't know."
Me: "Why don't you go back to bed then."


He stood up and walked over to the shelves in the family room. We weren't sure what exactly he was doing so we sat and watched to see what he would do next. After staring at them for a minute, he turned and walked over to the wall with all the light switches. He then put his cup up to the switches and tried to fill it, like he was standing at the fridge! After realizing that no water was coming out, he started getting upset.

Andrew: "Is this the right one?"

He hit the switch and turned off the light.

Andrew: "It's not working!"

Ryan and I were laughing hysterically by this time! Since it wasn't working, he came back over to me. After calming down for a minute, he got up. We thought he was going back to bed.

We were wrong.

He went back over to the light switches again!!


Andrew: "It's not working! How come it's not working?!"


I stopped laughing enough to get up and take his hand. I led him over to the fridge and he was finally able to get his water!!

My poor boy!! It was so funny...sad for him but hilarious for us!! Andrew keeps us laughing with his crazy sleepwalking antics!!

RyRy's 1st soccer game!!

Rylee had her very first soccer game yesterday!! She was awesome, and even scored a goal!! Yay RyRy! Great job! Her team, the "Stars", won 8-6. She looked so cute out there on the field! We are looking forward to many more exciting games this season! So much fun!! :)

Easter Pics

Finally!!

My kitchen is finally done!! Isn't it pretty? I absolutely love the way it turned out! Thanks Mom for making my curtains!! :)

Andrew and Rylee

Yesterday Andrew received the "High Flyer" award at school! High Flyer is pretty much the same as Student of the Week. Great job Bubba! I'm so proud of him. I know how tough it must be for him to sit still and pay attention for all those hours during school because at home he is NEVER still or quiet. Never. Ever. Never ever ever. Ever.

***************************************************************************

This morning when Rylee first woke up, she seemed kinda upset.

"Mommy, there aren't any jelly beans on the floor."

Poor girl thought today was Easter! See, every year when the Easter Bunny comes to our house, he leaves a trail of jelly beans that fall out of his over-crowded pockets as he hops from room to room. First, he hops upstairs to make sure all the kids are asleep and in their own beds. Then he hops back downstairs and hides each kids basket somewhere throughout the house. So on Easter morning there are jelly beans everywhere! The kids absolutely love it! :) I guess tonight the Easter Bunny will have to make sure he leaves an extra big trail for RyRy!

Watch Out!!

This morning, after taking Andrew to school, Ryan, Devynn, Rylee and I were having a nice stroll home when suddenly Rylee warned us:

"Don't step on the cracks in the sidewalk! They are really "aser" beams and if you step on them they will shoot out and you will die."

Ryan and I looked at each other smiling and asked Rylee again what the cracks really were.

"Aser beams."


So this is my warning to everyone...Watch out for those shooting "aser" beams in the sidewalk!! They're very dangerous! :)

RyRy started soccer!

Rylee had her first soccer practice this week. She looked so cute out there with her pink ball and her black and pink cleats. (Her shin guards are also pink but they were covered by her socks.) You could tell that she was nervous, and she was definitely shy around the other girls and her coach, but she did very well. For some reason, though, she stuck her tongue out every time she was running so she came off the field looking like she was drooling! Kinda embarrassing. But that's my RyRy!!


In other news, I'm almost done painting the kitchen, bathroom, living room and dining room!! It already looks sooo much better!! Now Ryan has to use his master skills and do all the trim and cutting-in along the crown moulding. And my Mom is making me valances for the kitchen. Thanks Mom!! I am so excited to see the final results...I will post pics once it's all done!! It's taken 5 1/2 years, but it will finally be all done...YAY!!!
