Nearly got taken

Well today after school a guy was jogging up behind the kids and he reached out to grab Hope.
Joshua grabbed her and ran her and the boys to Arctic circle.

I had noticed the kids were a bit late so Avery and I started walking up there. we met up at the restaurant and they started to tell me what was going on. My mind kinda shut off and i just worried about getting them home.

As soon as i got them home I called Hope's best friends mom to make sure she got home. She did. Then I called the school let them know then I filed a report with the sheriffs department. They sent a deputy out to the house and he talked to everyone about what has happened.

Hope seems to be doing fine. She has asked to sleep in my room tonight and I told her that it is fine. I think it all happened so fast that it really did not register in her mind what happened. I am going to cut back my work hours a bit to walk them to school and to pick them up.

I am a bit concerned about Joshua walking home from school alone after orchestra.

well as for me i am not doing so well i keep hugging Hope everytime she is inn reach of me. I do not know what I would have done if something happened to her. Everything ran in my head so fast. My mind is still racing. I doubt I will sleep tonight.

I feel horrible

Okay well i love working it is great I love learning all the different plants and how to care for them. But the Allergies are about to kill me!! I am going to have to go on some kind of meds and I really do not want to. Thank goodness next week we are doing zero landscape so I do not have to deal with too much pollen.

Avery has been a little pest today. During the week we have been making a pinata. Well today we went to the store and got the candy and crepe paper to put on it. Well the store had pumpkins outside and he just had to have one. So I bought a small one. I am trying to glue the paper on the pinata(he is helping some) He keeps bringing me his pumpkin asking if we can cut it now.

I feel like my head is being pounded on and Avery keeps bugging me!!

To top it all off I get home from the store and discover I left my keys at the check stand. I am not going to go get them i will send Joshua up there when he gets home from school.

and on a gross note if Avery des not stop picking his nose I am going to glue his finger in there.

Been Busy

Well I finished painting this past weekend. Thankfully McKay helped with the high spots. I boy do I hat ladders. So next is the twins hallway and I am going to do that in a pale yellow. Since it is so narrow.
Joshua got his Viola last week man is is a piece of crap. I took it to the music store and had to have things replaced and tuned. Thankfully they did not charge me very much. So He had his first practice today. He says it went well they really did not go over anything that he as not learned already. He has been looking things up on line and reading his instructional book allot. I am happy that he likes it so much.

Saturday we went to the zoo. They were having Barbie day to promote the new movie. Man that was a joke. The line was forever long. So Hope did not get to see Barbie. I felt really bad for her. But I promised her a new Barbie to make up for it. But we did get to see a new baby money so that was great.
I had a horrible allergy attack I am starting to feel better but it is dropping into my lungs. So we will see how it goes.

Avery is now wearing underwear 24 hours a day. He is doing well. We are very proud of him.

Ditching School

Okay well for some reason I over slept. But it happens. Well I go down and Hope and Alex are eating and I do not see Josh or Nathan well I found them both asleep and it was about 5 min till it was time to leave for school. So I let them stay home. But it isn't all fun and games They have been cleaning all day and that is all they can do. They cleaned bathrooms dinning room some of the kitchen Hope's room. I have been working too I scrubbed McKay's chair and have been cleaning the carpets in the front room. Avery is up stairs in his room making a mess but what else is new. He might be asleep by now.

I was suppose to be painting today but with the boys home I will not be able to so oh well. There is always Wed.

I go some picture frames from a neighbor that will look great in the dinning room so when I finish the second coat this week they will go up.

bulling problem

well I just got back home from the meeting with the school's principal. She is very on-top of this now that she is back. It turns out that the boy that has punched Joshua in not zoned for the school and will be transferred to the school that he should be in. Now he Boy that is the cause of all the problems. He and his family are moving. It is not know when this is going to be happening but it will be soon. So they will not be at the school anymore. For Joshua safety he will not be going out to recess for the time being. It has also been agreed that I will be picking up the kids 20 min early every day until they have changed schools. Which is fine with me then we do not have to wait at the school to make sure the problem kids are gone. Plus then I do not have to deal with the rush of kids leaving. This is something that we wanted to do anyway. But now with the schools permission it makes it much easier to do this. We are hoping that this ends everything.

I am working

well I am now working with my Neighbor. She has a landscaping business. Well I love to garden so why not. I work with her like once a week. At least it gets me out of the house. Last week we took Avery with us. Well that was a big pain so this week my nephew is going to come watch him. now with the kids in school it will be much easier. Plus this will be good for Avery. He really needs some time away from me. He does not do well if I am not here. And family is cheaper than daycare!!!!!

Labor Day Weekend

We had a very eventful weekend It started Friday afternoon with the building of a large sandbox. McKay got a bunch of sand from work for free. So we built the kids a sandbox. This is to prevent them from digging in the yard and my garden. Well the sandbox is a big hit. The kids are in it allot and i get to deal with sand all over the house. But if they are happy and playing together that is all that matters. So we were up until about 11pm building this. We had help from neighbors moving all the sand so that was great.

Saturday we go to see Keeley (my niece) get baptized. It was a great day for it. After the baptizum the family went to Templar and Laurie's ward for a bit of a picnic. We got to meet members of Laurie's family. So it turned out to be a great after noon.

Well after we left Kaysville we came back home to much more work. We decided that Joshua and Alexander should have their own rooms. So we removed the stuff out of the game room and moved Joshua in there. The boys seem very happy to have rooms of their own. of course they spend more time in each others rooms now then they did when they shared a room together. Go figure. This carried over to Sunday.

Monday was a bit of a hard day. Joshua expressed how much he does not want to go to school. If it were up to me I would not make him go. But I know he has to face these bullies. We have told him not to fight back. But it is really hard on him being bullied and assaulted at school. School should be a safe place. But it is not. Joshua was bitten by a spider again and his arm is swollen So he has to deal with that also.

I just hope that this week goes better.
