Monday - Work all day and RCIA all night- Tae Kwon Do for Bill and Megan
Tuesday - House able chores by day (laundry), Girl scouts by night, also had to fit in picking up stuff at mom's and visiting my friend and her new baby that came home from hospital and grocery shopping
Wednesday - Work day - Tae Kwon Do for Megan. Bill had 20/20 committee meeting at church.
Thursday - Finish more house able chores that I didn't finish on Tuesday during the day. Megan and I volunteered at a local soup kitchen at night.
Friday - Work day - Volunteering at open gym at school providing a movie and popcorn and supervision at night
Saturday - Max and Megan both have birthday parties to attend. Of course both are at separate times and separate places.. Tomorrow should be fun, especially if I have to work too :) Bill will have to put on the SuperMom Cape and Brassiere on his head to survive.

These weather conditions turned it into a snow day for the kiddies today. We are not leaving the house if we do not have to today. We are snuggling together in our PJ's, heating up some hot chocolate and trying to keeping warm.

Hope the rest of you are all enjoying your sunny weather and above 0 degree conditions :)

Perks of working for Disney


Since Christmas, I think we have watched the Wall E movie approximately 983 times and the twins just love it and ask for it by name. They both run around the house wanting Wallllllle and Evvvvvvaaaa. A couple of weeks ago we were all at the Disney store and Bill was admiring the Wall E display we had up on the wall, he asked if he could have it and he was told he couldn't have it because it is still being used. When I went into work last Saturday night, our store manager remembered Bill's obsession with Wall E and sent home with me the display we had up for Christmas.. I have no idea where this is going to go.. It is huge. It was quite a challenge putting it in my van too.

What do YOU do when you have like 15 inches of snow?



Go sledding of course!! We packed up the whole fam and went headed out to the sled hill. All the kids had a blast until Megan got knocked down protecting Connor from another sledder.

Its Cookie selling time again

Once again the time has come for Megan to sell Girl Scout Cookies.


This is always a fun time for her. She enjoys taking the orders and sorting them all out when they come in.

Happy New Year..

OK, so this post is about a week late. We celebrated new years at home with a delicious meal of steak, lobster and crab legs. The twins were in bed by 7:00 and just couldnt hold out to celebrate the new year coming in. Which was fine, because if they would have stayed up, they would have been extra cranky and might not have made it to see the next year come in at all :) Max passed out about 9:30, but we woke him up at about 11:45 so he could spray his silly string all over the house at midnight. We had our neighbors come over for drinks, games and snacks and Megan was playing the Wii with their son Josh. I just cant beleive it is already 2009. Where did the time go. We will celebrate 2 year old, 6 year old, and 10 year old birthdays this year, 13 years of marriage, and my official joining of the Catholic Church. These are just the highlights I can think of now.. Each week brings more and more..
