This Weekend

We had kind of a busy weekend at home catching up on a few things that needed to be done. Here's a few of the things that happened...

There are houses being built all around us, and ours is the only house on our street that is occupied. Because we are in a construction zone, garbage from all the construction has been blow all along the back of our yard. On Saturday, Eric took the kids out and they collected a lot of trash from the back of our yard and the neighboring yards. It looks SO much better. While they were out there, I did our taxes online which I finished.(yeah) It's nice to have both things done. Eric also finished submitting our damages from our move which was also a project needing to be done. Another thing that badly needed done were haircuts for the boys. Jarem loved his haircut until the very end when hairs got in his face. He giggled everytime I used the clippers.

This is Alex just after his haircut. He was begging to be done the whole time. He just can't stand the "itchies". Haircuts are a least favorite thing for him.

This was Jesikah crying about doing dishes on Friday night. I have to throw in these pictures every now and then to remember reality. :) She got dishes as a consequence for acting out. She wasn't happy so Eric got out the camera in hopes of finding a better attitude. (It didn't work as you can see).

Tessa lost ANOTHER tooth! She must be in 2nd grade or something. When her teeth get really loose they bother her a lot. She came into my room about 4am Friday morning and asked me if I would pull her tooth out in the morning. We didn't get it done until after school though. I got the needlenose pliers and it was so loose that I pretty much just lifted it out. It is the hole that you see there next to her bottom middle teeth on the left. There are so many holes that it is hard to know which one.
