Manderzz is 12!

She got the itouch that she HAD to have!











Manderzz' Birthday is on Valentine's Day and Jr's is on Halloween...those 2 weeks are up there with Thanksgiving and Christmas with the busy-ness factor! Those 2 love parties. Dills....he's already got his gift for his b-day in June (a fancy bike) and may want to take a friend to eat or have a couple over to play games and eat pizza...much more calm.... Blogger isn't letting me put captions...very frustrated...Jr made her Oero ice cream cake at 11:30pm! It was that busy of a day...I let her open gifts @ midnight...
I love that picture of Lynnette texting on 2 phones at the same time...how can she do that?
The girls played Apples to Apples and watched She's the Man, they love that movie! Manderzz got cash and a warm blanket (we LOVE blankets and pillows!) and 2 Hollister hoodies also. She's already ordered more clothes with her birthday cash....AE with a 40% off coupon. Manderzz knows how to shop! Although CB thinks she needs practice in malls...I think online works very well...malls take too much time.

The weekend that her birthday fell on happened to be the busiest weekend EVER here...we didn't even do half of the stuff that was going on. BUT we did go bowling with the girls that slept over and the next day with CB (he posted about that already on his blog) The kids went to the Ice Cream Social that the preschool puts on...I avoided that. All the ice cream you can eat and more toppings than anyone could ever dream of eating is not an event I need to attend! We missed the basketball games that went on for several days, missed a cookie decorating event (we make cookies daily so no big deal) I missed the Chocolate Extravaganza :( We had to have the slumber party that night. Something else was happening on Friday night. I can't be waiting 2 weeks to blog too much happens!
The kids are dressing in togas for spirit week (yes shorts and tops underneath)

I Rocked Color Pin Bowling & the Kids JUST ROCK

Manderzz rocking "The Kill" ?? never heard of it. She's on the big screen, how freakin cute is that??
.There she is rockin out. OMG I love it!
Dills rocking some Ozzy song on the big screen or maybe it was Black Sabbath, sounded REALLY old! It's hilarious they know more old hard rock songs then I do.
Soo cute!
Hethykins got a strike!
Manderzz had to leave the house quickly to grab her brother, not as dressed up as usual :)

I had to put this picture on, Dills is happier than I've seen him in a picture in a long time!
Fun, fun, fun....and they didn't jump SUPER high...Jr is here now and it scares me a lot!!

Mandrzz entertaining herself at the orthodontist's office. They just moved into their new office and didn't have a plant in this corner shelf yet.
I didn't get a better picture, he inhaled his banana split sooo fast! It was his first EVER!
She got a brownie oreo sundae. I shared a few bites, I knew she wouldn't finish :)
Hethykin's cubicle!!!

I had yet another appointment for my thyroid scan, but we ran to Hethykins' cubicle before the appointment. We found a cute kitchen store to buy some spoons. I had spoon issues, I neeeded a couple ice tea spoons, soup spoons and Chinese-style spoons too, hooray three things off the big list.

My boss emailed that it appears to her that I'm now hypothyroid...geeez it sure changes quickly. BUT I see the endocrinologist in 2 hours for her opinion/diagnosis/prognosis. Finally a specialist!!

We ran to the mall for Manderzz she was flippin out for some shopping (fueled by CB's texts --did your mom take you to the mall? To fast food yet?) We didn't have a lot of time, but had 2 pairs of jeans to return and a $20 certificate for Old Navy to spend...3 of us looking at everything only spent $17...the selection was awful.

A visit to our family orthodontist was next...he moved, had a bit of a time finding the new office, but we survived. Dills is looking good...Manderzz will probabaly be needing braces within a year or 2. Not too bad.

Kids jumped and jumped even though it was drizzly and about 49 degrees. They needed to burn off their extra energy!!

After ordering pizza online, even paying for it --soooo easy. It was a local place too. Not even a chain. Very handy....we grabbed jr from the airport & went bowling. We didn't plan it, but it was color-pin bowling and then also Guitar Hero night. Both kids beat their songs on expert withjust a small fumble at the begining and a restart...they were so excited they were the 1st two to play!! I got 3 strikes on the color-pin bowling, 2 free games and a EVIL diet soda that we shared. Hethykins won a little frog for me :)
