It seems as though we've been on a mini break again this week. We had a two hour delay Wednesday and were out Thursday and Friday. The girls have of course LOVED the time out of school, and I always welcome the company for my day. I do tend to get nothing done when they're home though....but that's OK!
We've watched a lot of movies, some good, some disgusting!
Allysa and I went shopping for her dress for the Winter Formal on Thursday....I've attached a picture, let me just say the theme is Vegas....and as soon as she saw this dress she screamed THAT says Vegas!!!
Poor Ally was sick the whole time so that was no fun for her, but it was comforting for her to be home not technically missing anymore days of school! Both older girls had Dr's appointments this week and it was nice to not have to take them out of school to do that...although I'm definitely not a parent who requests after school appointments, we go when its available and aren't picky!
Hannah and Allysa had an adventure to BW3 on Thursday night and had some good times! They went to the movie last night to see Mall Cop....Allysa LOVED it, Hannah said it was "stupid" a word we all know makes mommy freak out! Hannah spent the night again last night and the girls were laughing until late into the night as Hannah was sure someone broke into our house....it was of course Ally coming home from Kylee's house! Note I didn't say Han and Lys did anything about the burglar....on the contrary, Hannah jumped into bed with Allysa scared and they both hid under the covers!!!! Nice security system we've got huh? We got a good laugh out of that this morning. Ally went to hang out with her Bestie Kylee for a bit and life was good.
Today was the Cougar Classic 8th Grade Boys Basketball tournament at Northridge and Allysa and Hannah both had to cheer. It was a little rough when the alarm went off at 6:32 this morning....first time we'd heard that since Tuesday! Both girls we're up looking fabulous and on time by 8:30 at school. Cougars did an awesome job and won the first game by 40ish points~! Lizzie and Papa made it for the game....Ally wasn't ready to wake up from break yet! In between games Lys had gymnastics so Hannah and I sat and watched that before we all rushed back for the championship game where the Cougars met their match....defeated ultimately by 5.
Tonight Lizzie had hoped to have a friend spend the night. It didn't work out this time, but we'll try again soon. She's baking us cupcakes as I write.....I'll be getting one of those before the night is done!
Joey came over for movies and its been laughter all night long. I love nights where we're all just home and together. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to get them out of my hair occasionally, but most days I say the more the merrier. I love my kids, I love their friends, and I love having them all here. There is never a dull moment and I know where they are and that they are safe.
We are definitely a house of laughter....we laugh at each other all the time! We are the first people to make fun of each other, but always in love. If you can't laugh at yourself....who can you laugh at??? We are also first and foremost, a house of love. The girls know if we say no....there's a reason, and mostly its because we love them. They may not be happy in the beginning....but they know ultimately they are loved.
What makes you laugh? Laughter means love in our house. What is your source of love and laughter?
