New Beds!

Finished Product

Thanks Daddy for all the hard work.

I really should be cleaning my house, but instead I am blogging, and blogstocking. Megan finally is out of her toddler bed! I was so worried about twin beds taking up too much room so I have been thinking about bunkbeds all summer, I finally broke down. It is now like the girls have 10 times as much space. They are awesome, and Sarah went to bed like a champ. Now lets see if she stays........I may not be so in love with them in the morning.

What is Up with KSL?

So I still am selling that same $30 piece of furniture on KSL. This person wanted to buy it. We text back and forth and she asks me to deliver it to her in Draper? Yeah right, you want me to drive 100 miles each way in a truck that averages 14 mpg on diesel fuel that costs $3.84 a gallon? Basically it will cost me $35 to deliver that $30 piece of furniture to you.....I'm on it.....not.

Getting ready for Preschool!

In my last post I was kinda upset and really needed to spend some money because that always makes any woman feel better. I spent the rest of the night shopping online. It was delightful. the kids were asleep, and I could browse for hours. Granted I didn't get to comb through the racks at TJ MAXX or ROSS, my favorite stores for those unique outfits, I was mostly using the ever popular sites of Old Navy, Crazy 8 and the Children's Place, but I got some great things, and Carters had a 20% sale going on! Fast forward 8 days and viola! New school clothes! Megan and Sarah were so involved in opening the boxes that they even gave me a fall fashion preview!

Check out the modeling!

She is playing the guitar on her shirt.

Sarah's idea of fashion is the denim jacket, hello Kitty Mary Jane's and a Snow Hat. I had to wrestle those items off later. Notice the Tie Dye, that is Meg's own handy work.

This is a camping trip up Temple Peak, yeah they killed a bear here about a year ago. Thank goodness we didn't see any this trip. For our camping project we Tie Dyed! Sarah is drying out her T-shirt.

OOH the pretty colors.

We went on a ranger ride and look how beautiful the flowers are.

Sarah is holding on to Tess, so she doesn't fall out.

This is one of our many back yard pool parties. It never fails to amaze me how much fun kids have in the water.

Yup, Sarah is swimming naked, she refused to put on a swimsuit, I bet you wish you looked that good naked.

Look at what a good big sis Megan is. I just sat in a lounge chair and worked on my tan.

We went to Bear Lake twice last month, first with Grandma Irene and then with Grandma Pammy. Sweet Sarah just cuddled up and fell asleep.

Meg spent the day making sand angels, and at one point she was buried up to her neck in sand.

This is our favorite summer fun spot, The Logan Aquatic Center, Not really sure about this facial expression, I think she was sad over the spilled snow cone.

Poor girl has to wear swim pants, swim diapers and then a swim suit, she would probably prefer to be naked.

Our favorite FREE hang out! The splash pad in Providence. What a fun time. This was a totally free day for us. We played at the splash pad and park and went to Casper's for Ice Cream cones. We arrived at the ice cream parlor at about the same time as and older gentleman, we ordered our ice cream and as I went to hand my debit card to the scooper the man asked if he could buy our treats for us. I have no idea such nice people still existed, I have have yet to pay this good deed forward, but I promise I will.

Finally I have come up with a reason for Dr. Planned Parenthood for us to avoid the "vasectomy" at this time. We are already using a very effective form of Birth Control. It's called abstinence. In fact, studies have shown that this is the only 100% effective means of pregnancy prevention out there. Here's the deal, Wes and I have a great relationship.We just have a scheduling conflict. I work nights, he works days, there's a 45 minute window in the mornings when we see each other. I personally would really spend that time sleeping before those 2 little angles, who prompted Dr. PP to suggest that other thing, wake up. Also every morning look what crawls into my bed, today there were 2 of them, but Sarah really wanted me to hold her, while I took the picture.

a word of advice.

There are no pictures for this post. I just had a day and I am still pretty upset and can't sleep. For starters I am selling some of my junk on KSL. A few weeks ago my loose wires touched and I cleaned out my basement. I sold a bunch of clothes to PLATO's closet. Donated a bunch of stuff to the DI and felt that there were still a few items of value that I could post on KSL. Seriously some people, either they want to trade their crap for yours or they ridiculously low ball your price on a $30 piece of furniture till you could about tell them off. Maybe I will just have a garage sale.....

This past weekend I have been battling a uti, sorry that's a little TMI, on Monday I contacted the urologist and scheduled an appointment to get me some good drugs. Bless the doctors office who got me right in. Unfortunately I didn't have time to arrange a sitter for my girls, and Sarah didn't get her nap. So two tired girls and one miserable mom made it into the office, There was quite a wait and we went to the hospital cafeteria for some ice cream. Upon getting our treats we walked toward a vacant table to sit down, Meg started crying for really no reason, so I told her to sit down and eat her ice cream, she persisted to cry and call me a mean mom. (remember I had just bought her ice cream) I told her she could ask Santa for a new mom. At this point, enter nosey lady, she walks up to my table, "ma'am, I don't think you noticed but," and proceeds to tell me that my enormously gigantic bag accosted my defenseless 4-year-old and knocked her into the chair, and that's why she is crying. Whatever, I pretended not to hear.

Back at the urology clinic, we continue to wait in the waiting room, my kids are still whining and i really don't care. If the receptionsists don't want to hear it get me to the Dr. Finally I get called back, and I am placed in an exam room where my kids begin placing red bio hazard bags over their heads and again I don't really care. Enter the urologist. We begin our little conversation about my symptoms and what not. The highlight of my day was when he asked, "Has your husband had a vasectomy?" Evidently the urologist feels that I have my arms full. (This particular medical professional is a super guy and gave me some good suggestions, and even comented on how cute my girls were. He will continue to be my genitourinary guru) After a day like today, all I can say is Dr. I do concur.

I think that tomorrow I will go shopping, maybe then I will feel better.
