Tubbie Tubbie -Teletubbies

Hap Feet - the movie Happy Feet
Mumble - from Happy Feet
Cheeks

Ba Ba
Bubble
ah oh
Acka -when something is icky
low-nay - for pony
Yeah
Eye
La Lou - Love you
I La Lou - I love you
My - I think she wants to say mine because she says this when she wants something that someone else has.

She also signs please, eat, drink, all done, good, thank you, swing, slide, banana, popcorn, and ice cream.

She blows on her food when she is told that it is hot. She blows through straws to make them whistle. She blows at the stick to make bubbles.

She gets her shoes when we tell her she is going bye bye.

She will "tap" dance when we ask her if she has happy feet and we ask her if she has a heart song she will sing "LALALALALALALALALA".

She runs everywhere!!

Just a year ago she was starting to sit up!! Now she can do all these things and I know there is more!!

All I have to say is that I enjoy watching her grow up!! I want every moment to last but that won't happen. What will happen is in a blink I know she too will be graduating - as that is what happened to her oldest sister, Meghan.

Meghan's high school career is almost over!!! June 2ND is a day that I know I will have to carry around a big box of tissues!!

Now I am going to go and enjoy my "Bunch"!

Hey is Saturday!!

And I have the computer!! Wow what is going on? I usually never get the computer on Saturdays!! Well Patrick went to work and he woke Janie up when he said goodbye so up I have to be - I like to sleep in on Saturday's. My life is so busy and I only get a few Sat's to sleep in. Cami and Sani have her right now so I have a bit of time!

OK now wish me luck!! Why? Well I entered the Paper Crafts "Gallery Idol Challenge". You had to make a card with the theme of Hello and post it in their gallery by last night. I have 7 cards in there. Then the Paper Crafts editorial team will choose the top 20 finalists by Monday, April 23. On Friday, April 27, the top 20 finalists will be announced and the first round’s theme will be given.
There were so many entries!! Like over a 90 pages and each page has about 12 cards on it-you do the math it's too early for me!
Each round you get a different prize package!
It would just be cool to get to the first round! If I make it to the first round you all will have to vote for me!!
Here is a link to the gallery-I am Craftymomof6

I hope to scrapbook some pages today!! I have been busy making cards and swap items. Just a layout-that's all I ask! HA I guess we'll just wait and see what time I have!! Have to run to the PO and the store fortunately don't have to worry about Lizzi softball practice-she spent the night at her friends and she is on the team so her older sister is taking them. The coach made me mad on Thursday. Okay here is what was planned to happen-5:30 I get Kristin from her S-ball practice at the high school and drop Meghan off there so she can help with the middle school choir. Swing by home-Kristin out, Liz, her friend, and Cami in and they go to practice. Liz to a school a mile and a half one way then Cami at a school in the other direction (her school-which is a mile and a half from our house). Lizzi's was to start at 5:45 and Cami's at 6:00 and they both get over at 7:00 so Cami being the youngest is picked up first (I just stayed there though). So first of all at 5:33 the coach calls and asks where she is and I tell him that they will be there just about on time and I am picking up her sister. SO I thought everything was fine, we get back to their practice and there is only the coach, his grand-daughter, and the two I am picking up. He comes over and asks if I have a cell phone!!!!
"What??" I think to myself!! "He's crazy" I say instead "yes I do you called it earlier."
"Oh yeah" was his response!
Then he told me that practice started at 5:30, was over at 6:30 and I should call him if I will be late and he could also take the girls somewhere if I can't make it there in time. Yeah right I don't know him so he certainly is not going to take my child anywhere!!
In the car as I am taking them to the last 45 minutes of choir they tell me that they knew it was over at 6:45.
UGH!! I thought for sure the paper he handed out at the first practice said 7:00. So who is right?
Well the paper did say the first two practices would be 5:45 to 6:45. Then next week it is to 7:00 but still starting at 5:45!!

Wow I didn't start out thinking this would be a long post but it is!
Have a great day!!

My First-April 17th


OKAY now what?

What do I write about?

My life with Seven kids since that is the title of this little spot in the net community. Duh!

So an intro I guess-
my seven
Girls- Meghan, Kristin, Elizabeth, Sandra, Cameron and Janiemarie
Boy- Gabriel






I stay at home since Janie is still a baby - well I guess she is now a toddler she is 15 months old!!

Many ask how I do it and I really don't know!!
Some days they drive me crazy and I have to admit that sometimes I want to run away but for the most part it is fun!! There is always something going on. They are all active. Meghan sings and is a senior in high school (how did that happen?) Kristin plays the cello in Orchestra and symphony, is the color guard captain in the band and plays softball, Elizabeth is in drama and plays city softball, and Sandra and Cameron is playing city softball too. (well that is is they can find a coach for Cameron's T-Ball team. I thought about it but Patrick would have a cow)!
