Some Random Words

Aidan graduates from Kindergarten today, my mom is coming with us so I am sure she will cry thus I will cry. I was informed that I was not to fix her hair up because of the caps, it won't stay if she has pony tails. So I put butterfly barrettes in her hair, but she cried so I had to take them out. They apparently "felt weird" in her hair. She was in a mood this morning. It started because she didn't like her sandals and wanted to wear her black dress shoes, but they didn't match her dress so I told her no. I let her have her way with barrettes, but I wouldn't budge on the shoes.

Judy (mil) arrives in less than one week, on the 4th. Then Kale leaves on the 6th, Lele leaves on the 8th, we go to TN on the 9th, and my parents head to France on the 10th. I am lucky that (so far) Green's internship is staying here and not moving to Des Moines, so he's going to spend the month living at our house taking care of the dog and cat. If he can't do it the dog will split his time between my mom's and my aunt's and the cat will remain her, but locked in our laundry room (it's huge) and my bro will come in to take care of her everyday. He works on Fort so that's not really a big deal for him. But ideally Green staying here is best.

On Sat. Kale, Jason, Green, Lele, Rosy, Lilly, Aidan, and I are going to Worlds of Fun (amusement park). My mom is watching Sophia, Delilah, and Alan even though she is worried about watching them. I told her I do it all the time and she will be fine, she says I am better at it then her and have had more practice. It's babies that scare her, I have no idea why. After work that day (about 2pm) my dad is picking Lilly and Aidan up at the park so the adults can have fun the rest of the evening. My kids are so short and so chicken that the 4hrs they will be at the park will be more than enough. I am going to try and get them on some rides that they may be scared of, I think if they ride them they will like it.

Our new sectional arrives tomorrow and I am very excited. We bought our current living room set only two years ago, but while I liked it and still do, it hasn't worn well. Plus we have just a couch and a chair, so only 4 people can sit with us. The sectional holds at least 7 very comfortably. It has a chaise on one end, I practically feel asleep in the showroom while I was trying it out. That may be where I sleep this next year :P

Tomorrow is the last day of school for the girls and it's only a half day. I am both happy and sad about the last day. While I am ready to not have to take anyone to and from school every day, I am remembering last year and how horribly Lilly and Aidan fought ALL SUMMER. This year they haven't been fighting as much, but Aidan and Sophia have really picked up where Lilly and Aidan left off. That's one thing that I can't stand, even though my parents say I deserve it. My bro and I fought constantly until after Lilly was born. We never believed them when they told us one day we'd be friends. Damn parental insight.

On another and completely different note, allergies suck. Mine have been extremely bad lately and I don't like it one bit. My eyes water all day and my nose alternates between stuffy and runny. KS is not a good place for allergy sufferers.
