Logan's friend party

Here Logan is at his friend birthday party on September 26th.



Fast Lane is where the party took place. They have bowling, lazer tag, arcade games, & an indoor race track.


The bowling cake turned out great!! When I picked it up however I did notice the ball & pins were not placed on the cake. So I asked for them & placed them at home. Everyone kept asking where we got it. Gotta love Wal-mart.


This photo shows how dark it was. During games (football etc) they turn the lights off & everything (balls, pins, & sides of lanes) glow in the dark. They have one room that is dark all the time called Cosmo's Corner.

The kids all had a great time & Logan really enjoyed his last friend party. We scale WAY down after birthday #11.

Germs Germs come again another day

Another day as WAY in the future!! Chris was home sick yesterday. Hopefully since we all 4 have been sick that'll be it for a good long while.

Logan came home today w/ the flu vaccine paperwork. All school children in the state of AR are being offered the flu vaccines. So far they don't have the H1N1 (swine flu) shot yet. Even the staff is getting these YEA!!! Who'd think I'd be so happy about getting shots? Logan sure isn't happy about it, but he'll live. I'm sure a trip to Sonic for any choice of yummy drink off the menu will make it all better! I might even have to get me an ice cream & stop & the park to play. That is what my sister & I got BRIBED rewarded w/ after shots when we were kids.
November 3rd is the big day. And even though I swore I'd never get the kids & I flu shots on the same day ever again I'm going to. Last time Logan was about 2 & got his vaccines plus the flu vaccine. I decided to make good use of the trip to the dr & Steph & I got our flu shots the same day. WHAT A mistake that was. 2 cranky kids, & a mom w/ a sore arm. This go around I'll make sure that dinner is easy made because that is a Tues & Chris will be in his English class that night.

Don't share when it's germs!

Logan was such a nice son & brother, he shared his stomach bug w/ me & his sister. Lucky us............NOT!!

I got sick Tuesday night from 9:30pm to 2:30am. I ended up loosing 4 pounds to look on the bright side. Stephanie woke up Wed morning w/ her stomach hurting. I had a feeling it was coming on so kept her home. Sure enough about 9:30 it hit her. I had recovered enough to go back to work along w/ Logan to school on Thursday. Steph was going to go but w/ the 24 hour rule we kept her home. She can do pictures on retake day.

Hopefully that is the last of the shared germs in this house :)

Logan home sick

This is the first time in as long as I can remember that Logan has been home sick. He's had perfect attendance for the last 2 years at least. Last Saturday he was throwing up, but got better Sunday & yesterday. Well today he had a setback. He was in writing class (first class of the day) & wasn't feeling very well. Told that teacher & she asked him if he'd like to go tell me. On the way to me he threw up twice & then once after he got into the cafeteria. So needless to say I brought him home. The manager is out sick & I felt horrible leaving them but I have to take care of my baby. So far he's done okay while we've been home but he's not ate anything either. He has to miss tomorrow because the rule is fever/vomit free for 24 hours. Hopefully he doesn't share his sick germs w/ anyone else in the house :) Lysol is my best friend right now :)

Get better soon Logan!!

Girl Scout Breakfast Kidnap

I had read about doing a "kidnap" of the girls in our GS troop a long time ago. I've wanted to do it ever since & a couple weekends ago I finally got to do it.....with the parents in on it of course. It was so much fun!!

We added a little extra to our "kidnap" which was a Hummer Limo.


Basically the way it works is I woke up the first two girls (sisters) & they have a few min's to get up, brush teeth, use bathroom, & put shoes on. They wake up the next one. All three then wake up the 4th girl & then the four wake up the next (Steph) who then gets to help wake up the last two (sisters) in the troop. Then they get taken to breakfast. We choose IHOP. We started at the early time of 6am however by the time they got to our house Stephanie was already awake. She still got suprised because she thought it was Logan trying to come into her room, not the Girl Scout troop. Of course Logan got to be the little tag along brother for the morning.
