Diego the cat was not sure what was in the cage that was set up in his house

Well, we made it to Hot Springs and spent the weekend visiting family...lots of kids playing and chasing cats...now, I am just very tired.

Ashlyn decided that she had to have a picture made of her blowing on ribbon...needless to say Mama took that away fast.

Today was my first dayback to work after having a couple of days off...remind me to never take time off again...the woman who covered for me and who works the evening shift had made a mess of so much stuff again and instead of having her fix it I had an email waiting for me when I got to work to all the person who is over us so that she could tell me what Pat had done and that she wanted me to fix it because I fixed it the last time Pat did something similar. Now they are threatening not to let her handle the money at all or to do any posting. It made for a day that was really long but it did go by fast.

Ryan missed me a lot and he let it be know that Mama was all that he needed when I got home from work.

5th Day

Ashlyn decided to prove to us that she could still use the walker...even though Ryan is the one who is using the walker now. She climbs in on her own and can even climb out if we are not watching her.

Dale got back to MO around 8:47 this morning and Robbie, Dawn, and Naia should be arriving around midnight. Dale knocked down the "No Parking on this Side of the Street" sign when he was trying to back their moving truck into our drive way...I wish I had had the video camera going for that one.

Fourth Day

Pictures of Ashlyn and Ryan wearing a hat that Samantha found while cleaning her room. Ryan thinks it is so cool and funny to wear a hat and Ashlyn thinks that she is the cutest thing ever while wearing the hat.

Well, my hubby is in WI on his way back...driving the moving van with my son's belongings in it...his older brother went with him...he should be back home late tomorrow afternoon and my son should arrive about the same time...according to my son the moving van can only travel at the speed of 55 in IL...so that is why it will take my husband longer plus he has to drop his brother off at his home.

I had to work today and again the person that covers the shift after I leave was ill and did not come to work. There is no way I could put in a ten hour day and then come home and have to take care of the kids so we closed the office again at 6 p.m. instead of 10 p.m. The boss was not too happy about it...when my hubby is home and able to be with the kids I do not mind staying until ten (Friday's are one of the days of the week that he has off).
