Oh, so what a week! (Sorry Sarah!) It has made me very appreciative of water! For nearly two weeks we have been out of or very low on water as the pump has been down and other variables. It is amazing how much of our life hinges on water! Doing dishes was limited, so much that I started using paper plates. It was one time that I was thankful that we have been given soooo much clothes, as doing laundry came to a stand still. But think how much 2-3 loads a day adds up after a week! Yikes!! Then showers are limited too. I was soooo happy when they finally had that pump up and running! I ran down to do a load of laundry, and guess what, it isn't working! So I have been running loads over to moms.
Oh the joys!!!
Also, we are having some trying times with poor Brittana. Poor, sweet Brittana is having problems with kids at school. She had a girl hit her and a boy throw a rock at her and she hasn't made any friends. After all our moves, this is the first time she hasn't made friends. What do you do? You can't force someone to be friends with her, and I don't want her to settle for just any friend or feel that she has to be different to get a friend....but my heart breaks for her. I've been there, and it is not fun. I talked to her teacher about it, she said it is a bad bunch of girls that are just mean to each other and she is talking to them about it. I guess the comforting thing is that it is not just her, there are others coming to the teacher with the same problem. It is so sad how kids will treat each other some times!

As for our house..or should I say mom and dads house...coming along. I have some touch ups on mudding, then I should be priming that upstairs room shortly!!! Yeah! And the bathroom walls should be coming out any day now. (I thought it was going to be last night, and I did notice a new hole in the wall this morning, like they thought about it or something?!) Anyhow, things are going to be a little different when that comes out and the renos may move a little quicker. I will be sure to take some photos to post, as soon as I get them off my camera ;)

Here we go...

So seriously, I'm doin this!

It's totally been a crazy week. We had friends out on Sunday (what a blast, and we will totally have to do it again!!), Then I decided that it would be smart ;D to do a baby quilt in 2 days! Blahhh, I work better under pressure, yes?

play, baby shower, birthday party, and sending Erick and Tana off camping! Whew! And my week is far from over! Tomorrow is our annual Easter Egg dying party (can't wait) and then its off to Montana for Ericks Grandma's birthday! It will be fun to see all the cousins again!

Its nice to be back home again so we can do all of this again! I love it! Even though I totally miss Edmonton and everyone up there!

So aside from busy, it has been a very enjoyable week!

P.S. The play was awesome, good work Emily and Tanner! You two made the play!

So Sarah gave me a great idea! Here I am! I figure this must be a great way for family to keep up with what we are doing and all the fun and crazy daisy days we have!
So here is my start!...

Removing that big, heavy window!

Wall wide open, the Pics just don't do it justice!
