Saturday...no games

Well, today is Saturday aka BASEBALL DAY! However it has rained a couple of inches the last couple of days...which makes today HOUSE CLEANING SATURDAY! The kids are LOVING me.

We had a great time at the Sock Hop last night. Kiley enjoyed getting dressed up and Rich even got into it by wanting to roll a pack of cigarettes up in his shirt sleeve. It didn't look so great so he ended up taking it out before we left. Oh, and it was just a pack of cards! I saw some there with a box of raisens rolled up in the sleeve. The girls were all dressed differently...some in poodle skirts, some just dressed up, and others in their jeans rolled up with a big white shirt on (Kiley!). As for the boys.....there must have been 100+ boys there with white tshirts and jeans on. A few were dressed like Elvis for the look alike contest. The kids had fun trying to blow a big bubble with 2 pieces of Double Bubble in their mouths. What a job it was just to get the gum soft enough to chew, much less make a bubble out of it. I think we spent about $15 and had a great time from 6:30-8:45. Again...I'll post pictures once I master it.

The 6 weeks ended yesterday...meaning 6 more weeks of school left.

Kiley made Highest Branch in her class. Her teacher even called me at work to let me know how proud she was of Kiley for her much improved behavior at school lately. When Kiley's name was announced on the announcements for Highest Branch in her class Mrs. Clevenland said she stood up and started crying saying her Mom was going to be so proud of her. She is right I was! So, a miracle had occurred. She went all week without pulling her stick. I stopped by and picked up the Mamma Mia soundtrack for her as a treat and we've heard it nearly nonstop since. Even Mike is going around singing "Dancing Queen...". A little scary, I know.

Tonight we are heading over to Tricia's for Storri's birthday celebration. She is so sweet to be 12, but always wanting to make sure Kiley is going to be at her birthday. Last year I threw her a big surprise party. Lots of fun it was!!!
