We took Bailey, our 3 year old dog, to Petsmart today. Lukah was looking at the animals in the glass. He looked in one with surprise and said "Hey, Look! There is a big GIANT Pinny Gig!"
It has been quite an eventful week! We were able to spend some extra time with friends, Sierra and Micah, and cousin, Elijah. On Thursday, we got to meet our newest friend, Shiloh Hope, the Shasteen's newest addition. All five kids were able to hold her and peek at her.
Luckily, we are on a sports break right now, so we have little running around to do at the moment. I'm just working on figuring out TU's system and teaching at a different level (and through a different medium). I really enjoy it though! I have quite a variety of students, from Native American Reservations to soldiers serving in Iraq, and everything in between.
Scott has decided to coach 8th grade football at Shelby next year. He's excited to be able to connect with the kids and stay involved in the game, but at the same time taking less time from the family.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Storytime
Today I am watching my 3 year old nephew, Elijah. My friend also went into labor, so two of her kids are staying with us as well. We are having a preschool day! Luckily, Daddy gets home just after three to provide a new face and entertainment.
Quote of the Day:
Aunt Cara: What would you like for breakfast?
Elijah: Peter-Butter and Jelly

Weekend Update
YEAH! No visits to the ER this weekend. My sis took the kids Friday night so my hubby and I got to have 24 hours without kids! We spent Friday in Columbus. Scott actually sat in the waiting room while I got my hair cut/colored (yes I DO camoflague my grays!). What a wonderful husband! Then we went to dinner in Upper and helped set up for Upward Basketball. Saturday morning Scott did PR at Upward while I reffed 3 games. Wow it is hard to be a referee! I'll think twice next time I have the urge to scream at a ref :)
Lukah - Hey Mom, guess what?
Daddy - You're the man, Lukah.
We watched Fireproof Saturday night with the family. It was a really good movie about marraige. I recommend it for any couple! Love and respect... two different needs, but both need to be met!
Bear's Quotes of the day:
Lukah - Hey Mom, guess what?
Mom - What Lukah? (From in the shower expecting bad news.)
Lukah - I love you!
Daddy - You're the man, Lukah.
Lukah - So are you, Daddy!

Need a Laugh? here's a couple
Bear was trying to get me to put something together for him. He said "Are these the right erections?"

Updates
Wow time has gotten away from me!! Here are some of the things we have been up to:
Michelangelo has been working on a reading program online called Headsprout. He has finished 19 of 80 lessons, and is doing a great job sounding out new words. Last friday he had a visit to the emergency room after a wrestling accident. He caught an elbow in the nose, and the swelling had us worried there was a break. Fortunately, it wasn't broken, although his nose has turned lots of different colors!
Pink Princess was ill with a high fever for 5 days. She is a very strong willed little girl under normal conditions, she is just plain stubborn when she is sick! She would not drink anything, and became dehydrated. The doctor was close to admitting her to give her IV fluids, but when she was given the option "drink or get a shot", she opted to drink. She has recovered from the illness, but I think some of the stubbornness remains!
Bear is just as goofy as ever. He often has the household laughing at his latest antics. From singing silly songs to breaking out in random dance moves, he never ceases to amaze us with his creativity!
Jawz wrapped up his wrestling season last weekend with a tournamnet at Marysville Middle School. He learned so much in one short year, but he is not sure if he will continue with his wrestling career :). I'm very proud of the fact that he has kept his grades at A/B while playing sports from August until now!
Habanero has also done well at school and reads avidly. He's still fascinated with money and video games!
I have started teaching online for Tiffin University. It has been a little bumpy to start with, but I really enjoy the flexibility. I work much better at night than early in the morning, and I am able to follow my own schedule.
We have a new family member. I actually she has been in our family for 3 years, but lived with my sister. We moved her in with us to see how our family would adjust to a new member, especially someone with her special needs. Luckily, she has made a seamless transition, and in fact, we don't know what we would do without her. Meet our new member, Bailey:

Kalahari
We had a great time at Kalahari. Our mini-vacation was in place of monster presents this year. We stayed for two nights and three days. The kids especially loved having snack foods we usuallly don't have at home!
