House Update

Here is the newest picture of the house. We go on Friday to the design center to pick out all our options. I am excited to actually see the house that I will be living in for the next 4 years.

Our Trip to the Emergency Room

Two days a week all the sales reps in the office go play basketball together. As I am looking out our window I see Jason wrecklessly pull-up in the Tahoe. My first thought is "Jason is too good to drive the Maxima now?" But then I see that Todd is bent over in the passenger seat. I go running out and his ankle is completely swollen. Luckily we have some really good people here with us and there was already a wife on her way down to watch the girls for me. So we race to the emergency room. However, they won't let me go in with Todd because I had Allie (she refuses to take a bottle). The kind old lady who was a volunteer said she would hold Allie while I went back with Todd. Luckily the doctor said it wasn't broken and sent us on our way (with some really good drugs). Let's just hope they don't call back and say that it really is broken in 3 different places (oh wait, maybe that only happens in Casper, WY!) He's tough and has decided to go out and sell today on crutches!

Mommy's little helper?

Sadie loves to help clean up...as long as you sing the clean-up song. But sometimes I find things in strange places. For instance the cupcake pan is now the holder for Sadie's stacking cups! Or sometimes when she finds kitchen towels on the floor they end up in my underwear drawer. (I work part time as a poet) Sometimes I find her pull-up panties in the dirty clothes basket (hey, it makes sense!) And, if I am ever looking for my keys, you can bet that they are in Sadie's Lil' Kitty purse.

Here is Sadie playing at the mall. Let's just hope this isn't her future!

Me and the girls

Since I'm not in any pictures with the kids I thought I would take one. We are gearing up for a VERY long weekend during which Todd and I will not be getting any sleep since we are having to drive through the night.

Bubbles Bath

Sadie's love in life is bubble baths. I can't take a shower without Sadie. That girl can get undressed so fast! Definately not a good trait for a girl to have. So, the other day I was washing dishes in the sink and Sadie was playing in the living. I finished washing the dishes and went into my room to grab something. When I came back into the kitchen Sadie had grabbed the stool and had stripped off her clothes and was trying to climb into the sink for a bubble bath. Then threw the biggest tantrum because I wouldn't let her take a bubble bath in the dirty dish water. I was laughing so hard which made her even madder. Sorry I didn't take a picture.

Sadie's First Haircut

I thought if I gave Sadie a haircut, it might grow a little faster. So I cut 1/4 of an inch off. It was so tramatizing she cried when she saw her hair in the sink.
