Our Sunday Morning Routine
This morning we went to church.
If you saw us there, we looked pretty normal, but before church...
I told Ellie her hair needed some help, which made me "THE WORST MOMMY IN THE WORLD!"
Annie couldn't decide what to wear, and got mad when I made her wear the third outfit of the morning.
Daddy smacked Ellie's plate in the car (out of frustration over her bad attitude), thinking it was empty. It wasn't.
Food flew in Ellie's hair.
World War 3 broke out.
Austin told jokes, mostly with words like "butt", "fart", and "toilet".
We arrived at church 5 minutes late. I threw coats at the kids as they stumbled out of the car, while telling them it was time to straighten up, "We're at CHURCH now!".
As I pulled on my own jacket, I noticed the sleeve was stuck to the front with some sort of sticky substance. Nice.
We walked into church, as one big HAPPY family, as the greeter opened the door for us, and reached out to give Austin a high 5.
Austin formed a gun with his hand and pretended to shoot him. And then three other strangers.
We dropped the kids in their respective classes and made our way into the sanctuary.
And sang praise songs.
Amen.

My Birthday!
As I've gotten (a little!) older, I have come to a realization.
Birthdays aren't as cool as they used to be.
HOWEVER, this year was an exception for me!
On my birthday there was a Rascal Flatts concert, and I got to go! My super sweet sis in law surprised me with tickets!
And when I say "surprised" I mean, SURPRISED! Since not only did she get tickets, unbeknownst to me, but then I went and threw a kink in things when I bought my OWN tickets to the same concert! That's right, I ruined her surprise! I mean who would've thought I'd be listening to the radio at the exact right time, to hear about tickets to a sold-out concert for a group I love, and decide to go ahead and buy them, without checking with Jason first! I sure wouldn't have thought that could happen! But it did! Poor Michelle. It all ended up good though, actually GREAT, because our husbands got to go too!
And we had a BLAST!
Mayberry!
Summer Nights!
Rascal Flatts!
So THANK YOU MICHELLE!!! And Chris and Jason for making my night a blast! And my mom for keeping my kids so we could go!
A few days later I got to continue celebrating with lunch and shopping with my sweet mom, grandma, and aunt, and then a few days after that I finished up with a dinner out with friends! Like I said, this was a good birthday year for me!
Is that not the cutest pic of me and my friends?! Love them! Good job stretching your arm Jen! ;-)
So I take it back. Birthdays aren't as cool as they used to be...They're better! At least this one was!

My Super Brave Girl!
Well look who got her ears pierced!
We've had an interesting week, including a visit to Urgent Care for Ellie to get 3 staples in her head. Poor girl. She and Annie were getting ready to use the Easy Bake oven, when she jumped to reach something in an upper kitchen cabinet. Her head smacked the corner of the cabinet door. Hard. It's one of those moments as a mom you never want to happen. Looking up to see blood everywhere as you hear "My head is bleeding mommy...!". It was pretty bad, and so my sweet girl had to go through the trauma of staples.
After it was all done, I jokingly said something about getting her ears pierced would be a walk in the park compared to staples.
Little did I know she was really listening, and seriously considering it. A month ago when Annie got hers done, Ellie was terrified to do it. But after the staples, she decided it really didn't sound to bad afterall!
So she did it! I am proud of her for making it through staples, and pierced ears!
If you can't tell, she got Hello Kitty earrings! They are adorable!

The Kindergarten Circus!
Ok, the Kindergarten Circus may just be the cutest thing ever! Imagine a bunch of 5 and 6 year olds dressed up as circus characters, dancing and singing and just being adorable!
Annie's class were ribbon dancers, as was Ellie's class 3 years ago! The kids were too cute, but I have to say that Annie was the cutest! She picked her black and red leotard, and we added some homemade leg warmers to up the cute factor. :-). Thanks to my friend Janelle for that great idea! She suggested we take some knee socks and cut off the feet for some cute leg warmers!
The circus turned out great and Annie did a great job!
What a fun tradition this is! I hear that it's been around for many many years, and I can see why!
