Clean, SO CLEAN!!

Yesterday, Mom, Mandy, and Kate came over to help me clean and get the house put back together. Adam, Ava, and Lily also came (of course!). It was wonderful!! We got the house cleaned in no time. It is so nice to have help and adult conversation! Even the ceiling fans are clean...something I usually overlook (I know, not something I am proud of! But in my defense, they are usually on, so I don't notice the layers of nastiness that have built up! Ignorance is Bliss!). Maybe this should be something we do every year, season, month...whatever! What do you think family?? I am sure they are all reading this thinking "Never again, not a chance!" I did feed them lunch. I even made pumpkin cake for Adam...it's one of his favorites. We also started priming the stairway. I have never primed anything before, I guess. I didn't realize how thick and annoying it is to use. I have one more wall to finish, then I can finally finish painting.
It was Lily's first time at Aunt Shelly's house!
The kids all LOVE her!Can I please hold Lily?

So I will admit that I have a few addictions...Target, dessert, running (it balances out the dessert), the Wii...well, I am now realizing that I am a total dork. I have found a way to combine the Wii and running. I unlocked this thing called Free Run, so now, I can run on the treadmill and hold the remote, making me run on the Wii. Then, all my running minutes get clocked into my piggy bank and I will very soon be getting that fancy new piggy bank that I am so looking forward to! Plus, I have something to look at when I have to run inside. Win, win!! I also have a new motivation for running. Let me back up...on Wii, you can make your own "Mii". The character you play with in all the games. So everyone who had played ours has a Mii on the Wii. Then in all the games you play, the Mii's are the audience. Kalee especially has a lot of fun with this. She loves to watch and pick out all the Mii's that she knows. So most people, OK EVERYONE, who had made a Mii has tried to make it look like themselves. Kalee's is the best one, but Kevin's is pretty good too! EVERYONE, that is, except for Tyler. He made this super scary guy. He looks like a Who. He has a mustache and a pony tail. He has a pig nose. He is creepy looking. So now this super scary Tyler is in the audience of all the games. AND, as I am running, the other Mii's are running along with me. Back to my new motivation...GET AWAY FROM TYLER!! The other night, his Mii would not leave me alone. He kept running right next to me and was completely freaking me out! He runs right by me and keeps turning his head to look at me. So, thanks Ty for that extra little push of motivation. Thanks a lot! (I do realize this is not real...don't worry, I have not completely lost myself in the dream world that is Wii Fit!)

**Lori, cow racing is on Wii Play...a different game. Totally worth the purchase!!

I Hurt

I hurt my back. It hurts bad. I can hardly nod my head without it hurting. I don't know what happened. But it hurts in case you didn't get that. I took some drugs and have been laying on a heating pad, so it is feeling a little better. I need to run, but just don't know if that will happen tonight. This puts a cramp in my training! (That's my sob story of the day.) ****** Last night Matt was telling me how he just puts Kalee in bed and she stays there and will fall asleep. So I let him show me. Well, he put her in and she started crying and crying. Then we heard her get up. She went into the bathroom...don't know what she did in there. But she came out and closed the door, then went back to bed. We then heard her yelling Blankies, Blankies!! Stuck, Stuck! So Matt went in and got her blankies unstuck and put her back down. She cried some more, then we saw her nightlight go out and heard her door slam shut. She then went into Peyton's room and had a chat with Peyt...

Day 2

Day 2 went just as well as day 1 of Preschool. It seems too good to be true! Oh well, I'll take it! Peyton went right in and did her "jobs" (putting away her bag, folder and picking her drink). Then she went to play with a puzzle and read a book. No tears, no clinging, AWESOME!! Kalee was upset again that she didn't get to stay. She kept saying I want to play with the tractor puzzle at school. So she and I spent the morning playing outside. It's so funny how happy she is once we get home. I think she loves not having the competition for the toys or the bossiness that is Peyton telling her how to play! She had every baby out and every stroller with them. Plus, her tricycle, 4 wheeler, shopping cart, firetruck... I have a new TV obsession...Melrose Place. Sad, but true. I watched it last night and am hooked. Can't wait for next week! There may be a problem though...I think it is at the same time that DWTS is going to be on. Speaking of DWTS...di...

Sunny Monday

We had a fun day today. After Peyton got upset that Daddy and Pop were going to the ball park without her...it was a boys day...we decided to have a girls day. She told me that on girls days, you read stories and sing songs. Well, we haven't done any of those things yet, but we did swim a little in the freezing cold big pool. Then the girls swam in their little pool. They both brought their babies to the pools, so they had fun. I put the solar cover on the pool as soon as I got them out of it!! It's amazing that they don't ever think the water is cold! Peyton sliding with her baby Kalee "swimming." She sat in this little bucket for about 10 minutes! We had lunch and the girls napped. Then we went to the mall play place. I gave them the option of the playground and feeding the ducks or the play place. Peyton wanted the play place. Really, I think they have more fun playing on the little cars that move when you put money in them. They don't even need them to...
