Update

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas. Everything was great here. Everyone enjoyed thier gifts was a plus for me. Since I am the one that does all of the shopping and wrapping.
Bill and I don't buy each other gifts so I have nothing great or spectacular to tell you about.


Mike had a wrestling match yesterday and things didn't go exactly as he wanted them to. He got pinned in both of his matches. He was very mad at himself. This is the first tournament of the year and it was set up with odd ages. Therefore, he was the younger of the 2 age groups. The first guy he wrestled was third in the state. So that is all I need to say about that. The second guy just out maneuvered him. You win some you loose some. Hopefully this Saturday will work out better for him. He will be in the top part of the age group this week. It will be 9-10 years old.

Bill's children are still here. They will be staying until Wednesday. They we will be taking them back home to Michigan. Hopefully the weather will be a little bit better this time. When we went to pick them up there was 30 cars in the ditch from my house to the other side of Cleavland. Another 20 in the ditch on the way home. The weather was just awefull. Bill had worked the night before and drove both ways. I had offered but he turned me down. I don't think he really cares for my driving. LOL.

We are hoping to take the kids to do something fun either today or tomorrow. I am not sure yet what it will be. But I am sure we will think of something. Any ideas?

Ta- ta for now,

Monday we will be making a trip to Michigan to pick up Bill's kids. Hopefully we will be able to see some people while we are in town.

We have been very busy here. With Cub scout Christmas parties and Elementary School concerts.


Here is some video of Mike's concert. He is playing in the percussion. They have been playing for about 4 months. This is the first year that they are allowed to take lessons. He is the boy in the back on the end.



This video is of the 3 , 4, and 5 graders singing. Mike is in the front row next to the chorus director. He is wearing a red sweater.





If I don't get a chance to get back here before Christmas. Our Family wishes you a Merry Christmas.

This weekend I am away to my home town. My Aunt and I will be going to a scrap booking crop.
I am really excited to be away for awhile. Every mom needs a mini vacation. I will take pictures and let you see all of the cool make and take stuff. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Talk to you all later.
Ta-ta for now,

Black Friday Find

Bill had to work at the store that night of Black Friday. I had given him my list of things to get the kids for Christmas. I have to say in the way of toys there wans't much of a selection this year.


To my surprise Bill came home with something that was not on the list. Surprise surprise there!
He is always adding to my list.

It was a nice thought but I think someone else in the house will have more fun of using it than me. She has already declared it hers.

I do love the gift. It is light, easy to move from place to place, and who doesn't like the color pink.

Can you guess what it is?
I think he thought the color would make me want to use it more. LOL

I hope everyone had a chance to get out there and get their deals.
Ta-ta for now,

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from one Pilgrim's home to another.

Winter Already

It has become winter here in Northwest Pennsylvania. I think we have about A foot of snow on the ground with more accumulation this week. My kids just love the snow. When Mike woke up the next morning after the snow fell he was begging me to let him go outside. Here he is trying to tempt to build a snowman. The snow really would not pack so he ended up with a small yet cute one. Plus it was very cold outside. I have not yet had the chance to get them the snow gear that he should have. So he wasn't out there very long. Of course Mom had to let him have something warm to drink along with every kids favorite. COOKIES!

Free Calendars

If you are looking to get a free calendar for the new year. Here are a couple that I have found that I thought were cool. Enjoy!

You can get a FREE Calendar from Pillsbury Here

If you don't like that one there is one from Betty Crocker Here

I got it done (almost)

Yesterday I had tons of things on my to-do list.

Let's just say that as soon as I was done typing my message there was a knock on the door. I was like who could that be. It was the repair man here to start my ceiling. Apparently they finished early with the job next door. The good news is that the ceiling wasn't as bad as they thought. The bad news is my house was a wreck. The main part of the mess was the kitchen. I bake a lot and don't always have enough energy to clean it up right afterward. They were here for a total of 10 min then they were out the door. They will be here today to sand and re-mud. Then they will do it again on Monday. On Tuesday they will repaint the whole ceiling.

After that Mike came home from school . They had a half day cause of teacher conferences and no school today. Bill thought it would be great to leave and go get lunch at the pizza place. So we went there. Then it was time for the conference.

I was told exactly what I told you I would be told. Mike is a very bright child he lacks effort and focus. Hopefully we will be working on that. I have a plan in place. Wish me luck.

None of the house got cleaned. Until this morning. Bill got home from work and I put him to work helping me get things done. We had it all done before the repair men got here. Whew.

The things on my to do list today is laundry and doing a little baking. I have a new Amish white bread recipe that I have been itchin to try. The kids are watching movies and playing with Play-Doh. Oh what a great day!

Ta-ta for now,
Mandy

The Plans for the day

Today seems like it is going to be a busy day.

1. I really need to be cleaning my house today and not be on the computer so much. There are people coming to fix my ceiling in the morning. There was a leak in the bathroom and made a huge ceiling bubble.

2. I bought some totes to store some of Andrea's clothes. She has gone through a huge growth spurt and now I need to go through everything and see what she can actually wear. It seems that I have tons of 12- 24 months things. She spent forever in this size. From the time she was 2-3 1/2. Now we have made it to 3T bottoms and 4-5 tops. I think it took forever for us to get to this point. Yeah go us!

3. I have parent teacher conference with Mike's teacher at 2:30. You can just wish me luck there. Who knows what I will be told. Well I have some speculation of what I will be told. My child is smart but lacks effort. LOL He is like almost every boy I know.

4. Then it is home and to make supper.Getting everyone settled. Bill has to work tonight so I try to have dinner done early so he can go to bed. He works midnights.

I think that is all I have to do. Hopefully I can accomplish some or most of it.
Ta-ta for now,

Just a reminder that today is Veteran's day. Make sure you thank a service man or woman for the great job he did while serving our country. I know I thanked mine.


Thank you Big Daddy for all that you do for us. We love you so much!!!

Today is the day. Please don't forget to vote. I don't care who you vote for just vote. ( Well maybe I care a little) It is your right as an American. There are people in other parts of the world don't get that right. So go out and VOTE!!!

Halloween

I know that these are a few days late. But my battery died in my camera and I had to let it charge quite a while before I could get these on my computer. We had a great time trick-or-treating. Andrea was really into it this year and Mike was old enough to go with his friends on his own.
I had bought the kids cute felt bags from Big Lots to collect their candy. They were a little to big for Andrea. But of course Miss Independent didn't want any help carry it. She was tripping all night. But she had a great time and it didn't even phase her. I hope that you enjoy the pictures of the kids.
Ta-ta for now,


Mike as a 1930's mafia gangster




My handsome man





Our Beautiful Princess





And no Halloween is complete without the loot

Look what I woke up to

Look what I woke up to this morning. The good news is that it is very pretty. The bad new is we are in for more today. Another 4-6 inches worth. Of course the kids just want to play in it before school and I just want them to stay dry. I did promise Andrea that she could play in it when she got home from school. Last year she didn't want to come in from playing in the snow. She loves it so much. Mike had a hard time bringing her inside the house. He likes it but can only take so much before he is freezing. Not to mention he has no meat on his skinny body.
I finally had to bribe her with some hot chocolate and cookies. What kid doesn't want that?

It is very scary outside right now. The leaves haven't fallen completely off of the trees and the snow is the very heavy wet kind. The trees are getting weighed down and they are just snapping. As you can see in the pictures we have woods behind us. So imagine everything I am hearing at this moment. Lots of cracking and popping. Every once in awhile it is followed by a crash. Oh what a joyful day. I think I will stay inside and bake all day.

Let it Snow

I know what you are thinking. Oh no not SNOW! Well everyone here is getting ready for the first snow fall. Yesterday we had just a few flurries but nothing to serious. As a matter of fact I never knew that we had flurries someone had to tell me.
But tonight we are suppose to get 4 inches by morning. At least that is what the weatherman says. I can't wait to take tons of pictures of the kids in in the snow playing. Andrea just loves the snow.

Do you think that we can trust him? Will his prediction come true? If it does I am not sure how Trick or Treat will go. I haven't even bought Andrea a costume yet. I have been waiting because I was not sure what the weather would be. Mike got his last week and he will be a mobster from the 30's. With his black pinstriped suit , black shirt, and white tie. Complete with a hat and of course the gun. What mobster outfit isn't complete without a gun?
Andrea keeps changing her mind from a princess to a cat. I am not sure what it will be. I am leaning towards princess but with the weather who knows. Can you still make a princess costume look good over top of a snow suit? I dunno we will see.

Can you guess what today is. Yes today I turn the BIG 3 0.... When looking back to when I was younger I thought that this day was such a big deal. Now when I am thinking about it. I think what was the big deal? I thought that I would have this huge party and have all my friends over. They would shower with me funny stories of things that have happened to us through out the years. We would have food and wine. Man I must of been one delusional person.
I have realized there really isn't anything special about it. Just another day. I have to work. Bill has to work. So we will not be doing anything. No party, friends, or wine.
Quite a bummer but oh well that is how it goes.
I hope that you all have a great day.

New Fall Picttures

This past week I took some fall pictures of the kids. As you can tell I didn't get to many with Andrea. She just didn't want anything to do with the woman behind the camera. A.K.A. Me.
Hope you enjoy them. One of the ones with the two of them together I want to use in the header. So leave me a comment and let me know which one you think I should use.

Andrea Dancing

Here is Andrea dancing in the living room. It is my first one and I didn't realize that if you turn the camera it would make the image turn. So most of it you have to turn your head sideways to watch. Also please ignore hubby's singing in the background. Can you tell he likes the Eagles?

Look whats for dinner tonight.

So I get this free magazine in the mail from Kraft and it has tons of great recipes in it. This is one that I thought it looks so Yummy. Tonight I thought I would give it a try. But I had to run to the store to grab a few things.
But wait! Have you ever had a friend that calls you right when you are getting ready to leave and says, " Hey can you do something for me?" Of course I am someone that can't say no. I say sure. The friend's husband and son need haircuts. So I say sure come on over. But I have to go to the store when I am done. Of course when we are done they don't leave right away. They leave about 30 minutes later.

So I go to the Wal-mart.I grabbed everything I needed to last me till payday. Then I get to the check out and get that cashier that really doesn't want to be there. I get like Sunday papers every week. So I staple all of the like coupons together. Apparently that was a big issue with her. Every time she got to a set that was stapled. She let out a big sigh and rolled her eyes. Then after she got all of the coupons apart she then proceeded to stand there and take the staple out of every one. Come one now just scan the stuff so I can get home.

Did I mention that we were all standing in line. 2 kids and hubby. Then along comes the person behind me who develops an attitude because I had a lot of coupons and the cashier was taking her time and throwing a hissy fit.

Further more our store is a dollar more expensive on just about every product than other stores. Because we live in a small town where there are only 3 stores to choose from.So they raise the price on everything. She should be cutting out coupons too.

Ok so I get home get everything away and this dinner recipe sounds like it is going to take a long time. Because I don't buy boneless chicken. It takes a little longer to cook. So I decide to make this recipe but combine all of the ingrediants in a skillet add the cheese and put tinfoil over it. So the cheese would melt.Here is what mine looked like.


It was so Yummy. It is called foil packet chicken fajitas. But tonight we are calling it Skillet chicken fajita. Here is the recipe Enjoy!

BTW I should mention that before I used my coupons and hubbies 10% discout my bill was $88.69 and after the everthing it was $66.45.. .. So go you know where you mean cashier lady!

1-1/2 cups instant white rice, uncooked

1-1/2 cups hot water

1 Tbsp. TACO BELL® HOME ORIGINALS® Taco Seasoning Mix

4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)

1 each: green and red pepper, cut into strips

1/2 cup TACO BELL® HOME ORIGINALS® Thick 'N Chunky Salsa

1/2 cup KRAFT Mexican Style Shredded Taco Cheese

Make It

HEAT oven to 400ºF. Fold up all sides of each of four 18x12-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil to form 1-inch rim; spray foil with cooking spray. Combine rice, water and taco seasoning; spoon evenly onto centers of foil. Top evenly with remaining ingredients.

BRING up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place in 15x10x1-inch baking pan.

BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until chicken is cooked through (165ºF). Let stand 5 min. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening packets.

Mike Wins!

Tonight was Mike's Cub Scout Packs Rain gutter Geratta. This is the last one for him. As this is the last year that he will be in cub scouts. He is a Weblow 2. Working on his Arrow of Light award. ( The highest award in cub scouts)

There are about 50 boys in his whole pack. There are about 6 in his Den. We raced against all of the boys in his den. Whoever won out of the group would go to the final group and race against all of the other boys that won in their den. I know it sounds confusing.

Let me just say that the race is held outside. It is freezing here in the north . I think it was in the 40's and dropping tonight. I hate to say this but I was really praying that Mike would loose so we could go home to where it is nice and warm.


No such luck here. Mike won his first race. Then he won the next and then the next. He beat all of the boys in his den. Great, now we get to stick around to the finals. As my teeth are chatting away in the process of yelling GOoooooo Miiikkkeee! He won every single race. He went undefeated. He is the PACK CHAMPION!!!
Even though I froze my rear end off. I am so proud of you little man!

We are home

We have made it home from our trip in Buffalo. So I thought I would catch you all up with some pictures.



My new Niece baby Carla

We are in Buffalo

We are in Buffalo. My sister is having her baby today and has asked me to come help her with her other children. I love that I can be here to help her. She has 2 children and is expecting her 3rd anytime now. As I am typing this she is having her epidural. Praise God for good drugs.

Just a quick update on Andrea.She is feeling better. She has a fever blister on the tip of her tounge whick is making hard for her to eat a few of her favorite things. Pizza, chicken nuggets, and french fries.

We will be back home on Saturday in the evening. I will let you know the news of the baby.
Lastly, I added the follow this blog feature and so far I only have 1 follower. (thanks Jamie)
Wish I had some more! Come on people are you out there?
Ta -ta for now,

Andrea not feeling well

I was going to post some pictures of Mike's great party last night, but I have been busy cuddling with Andrea. She has had a fever the last 2 days and complaining of her ear and knee hurting. You know how little ones are. Not wanting to be left alone and held all of the time.
If she is not better in the morning I will be making a doctors appointment for her. When I get some free time I will post the pictures of the party.
Ta- ta for now,

Cartoon Network Star Wars Party

About a month ago we signed up to participate in the Cartoon Network Star Wars the Clone Wars House Party. We got a great party package. Complete with the DVD, Darth Vader light saber, sticker, tattoos, masks, and glow sticks.
They only pick so many and we were picked. So tonight is the party. Mike has invited over about 9 of his friends . We will be watching a sneak peak of the first episode of the new animated series. I will post pictures tomorrow and let you all know how it went. So I have to run for now and make our Yoda Soda and prepare to make our light saber pretzels.
May the Force be with you!

Nothing to Chat about.

Nothing new and exciting has been going on here. Andrea still loves school and Mike could care less.
I have been babysitting for a girlfriend during the week earning a little extra money here and there.
Bill finally got full time at his job. Yippie!! I guess that is something new and exciting. We have been waiting a very long time for this to happen. He was asked this week if he would like the full time opening. The nice thing is that it is on the same shift that he works now so there is no pay difference. Night shift get $1 more an hour.

Are any of you decorating your house for fall? We don't usually do anything. We have a very picky land lady. So picky she doesn't let my kids draw on the sidewalk with chalk. There is nothing we can hide from her considering she lives right next door to me. We live in a quadplex. So all of our apartments are connected. She is right beside me. I have never seen someone so anal about their yard. She is out there almost every other day mowing the leaves. Did I mention that she is in her late 80's. Oh yeah. I think she is just borde out of her mind and can't think of anything else to complain about so that is what she complaines about.

Have you bought or are in the proccess of making your child's Halloween costumes.
I haven't started yet. Mike wants to be the clown from IT. I am not even sure he has ever seen the movie but knows all about the clown. Why is it when a boy hits the age of 9 or 10 they want to be the most scary thing they can think of ? Freaky!
Andrea wants to be Cinderella. What little girl doesn't want to be a princess.
Ta- ta for now,

WWFMW

Today I thought I would participate in Rocks in my dryer's what works for me Wednesdays event.
Let me tell you the new thing that I have discovered. It might not be new to you. It has been around for sometime. But I have just found it. What is it you may ask?





Last night was the first time that I used this product and let me just say that I am in love. I made scalloped potatoes from scratch. I used one of these handy little liners. After all was said and done I had no clean up at all. Just a quick wipe down with the rag and it was all done. It saved me so much more time. A good thing to because last last night was Cub Scout night. There is usually no time to spare on Tuesday night.
I would recommend this product to anyone. Don't forget to get a coupon and sweeten your deal.
Ta-ta for now,

Being Lazy

Did you ever have one of those days where you just wanted to sit in your Pj's all day? Today was one of those days. I just could not get up any energy to be productive. So that is exactly what I did. I stayed in my PJ's all day.
Let's just say that I woke up this morning thinking that I had tons to do. I sat on the couch to read a book . Only to fall asleep on the couch. Then reawaking to the sound of Wonder Pets and Andrea eating her lunch at her table.
Good thing daddy was around, awake and alert.
I didn't even get dressed until 2:30. Only because my friend was coming to pick up her daughter who rides the bus with Mike home from school. Not to mention Mike had his first Cub Scout Meeting of the year this evening. The dream of being in the Pj's all day was short lived.
Now that it is almost 11pm and I am once again in my flannel Pj's (It is cold here) I think I will hop into bed where it is warm and snugly. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and I will be able to muster up the energy to be productive.

We have a diagnosis !

Acrodysostosis

You can click on it to read more about it.

This is what they have discovered Andrea has. It is very rare. There are only 70 reported cases known. Well 71 now counting Andrea.

It is where there is achon facial, hands, and feet features . It is not hypo because of the shortening is in the lower part of the extremities.

The down side of this dysplasia is that 75% of the children with it have some form of a learning disability.

We will be taking her to another Dr. to be evalutated for that.
The sad thing is nothing like this is near where we live. We have to drive over 2 hours to see someone just for an evalutation. I am totally wiped out from traveling.

I am thrilled that they have figured out what it is that she has. It has been a long process for all of us. We will now know how to meet Andrea's needs educationaly. and medically.

First Day of School

Yesterday was Mike's first day of school. We was excited but less than thrilled to have his mom taking pictures of him. I guess when they hit the age of 10 everything changes. I remember they day that he started kindergarten and now here he is going into the 5th grade. Momma's boy sure is growing up fast.Waiting for the bus to arrive. Mind you the bus stop is across the street from the house. So all of the kids can see him getting his picture taken. Hehehe. I'm such a bad mom.

Oh come on Mom put that thing away. Your embarrassing me.

Andrea had her first day of Preschool today. She was so excited to get on the bus to go see her friends. She had to wear her new Hanna Montana t-shirt and her Dora the Explorer shoes. This will be her last year of the early intervention preschool. Andrea loves school. Unlike her brother. She would go everyday if she could. She only goes 3 days a week with half days. I think Mike would love to go just 3 days a week.
Although he did come home yesterday saying that he liked his teacher. So maybe this will be a good year. Who knows?

Waiting for the bus.


It's here. I am so excited!

Getting on the bus. "I can do it myself", she says.
