Day 11

We had such a busy weekend that I didn't get to prepare anything for lunches this week so I'll be doing that tomorrow.  Tuesday's lunch is pretty pitiful (no school on Monday)


Here it is.....

Peanut butter, honey and banana on sandwich thin

m&m cookie

kiwi

pretzels

Jammy Sammy

raisins

peanuts

Their "water" bottle was in the dishwasher when I took this but they will have peach mango juice in it

Hawaiian Falls

We had a lot of fun at Hawaiian Falls yesterday :)  Thanks again Heather for entering us in that contest!  The boys had no fear, they wanted to ride everything!  Poor Hayden is so tiny he can't really ride anything, they have a kiddy section that had small slides that he went on all of them by himself, loved that.  Then there was another ride that was meant for 42 in and up (he's barely 36) and the lifeguards let Dessa take him down, he absolutely loved it.  That kid isn't scared of anything, he would have gone on every single one had he been allowed.  Landon rode a really scary one, or one I thought was really scary, where you get in a capsule and then they count down and the floor disappears and you go flying down a really steep slide, he thought it was awesome haha.  Casen rode a lot too, but was too short for that one.  They had sooooo much fun it was great!!!!!  Here are a few pictures from our day :D

Outside Hawaiian Falls, don't mind Casen he had to pee lol

Fun Weekend

We have a busy but fun weekend going on!  This morning Mark got up with the boys and dressed them, ok let them dress themselves it was a mess, and took them to the bank and to get out of the house for a bit.  Then took them to get donuts for breakfast so that I could sleep in and it actually be quiet in the house :)  It was NICE!!!!!  Then I got up and took a shower and they came back and I changed their clothes to something so I would be ok being seen in public with them lol YES THAT BAD!  We went and saw Aunt Dessa and she got them some slushes, talked with her for awhile then went to Grandma Gail's house.  Mark helped her with some stuff while Hayden terrorized everyone.  I don't think he's feeling very well, his nose has been yucky today, plus he didn't have a nap, it wasn't pretty.  But while there I was able to plan my menu for the week, it should be yummy!!!  When they were done Gail took us to Chilis for dinner and then we left.  We went to Marshall's and me and mark got some clothes, not much.  Then to Best Buy so they could reserve their copy of Halo Reach...OMG Landon was so excited I thought he was gonna pass out lol.  Then to Target to get a few more things.  We were trying to find flip flops but no luck.  Maggie ate the ones we had and we need them for tomorrow because..........


We're going to Hawaiian Falls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The boys know we have a surprise planned but have no clue what it is.  They are going to be so excited.  We will do that for a few hours, Dessa is coming with us and maybe Heather.  After we are done there though we have to come home and get everyone changed and get Landon to baseball practice starting at 6.  We are going to be worn out tomorrow from all that sun.  Can't wait though, should be fun!  Mark is off on Monday, so are the boys so we'll be relaxing that day!

Casen had a bad day at school

Casen came home from school today in tears, all out crying. I looked at his folder and in today's spot there is a light stamp but written in red says "got out of seat some today" Casen is sooooooooo upset. He said he never moved his clip from green so he should NOT have been signed. There is a sub there from Wed-Friday and he came home yesterday and said she wasn't very nice and then this happened today. He said the only time he can remember getting out of his seat when he wasn't supposed to was when he had to use the restroom and he had his hand up and she wasn't seeing him so he got up to ask and she told him he had to wait. So no warning, nothing and he has his folder signed for the first time this year. Then he told me to look at his worksheets he brought home and one is a practice D worksheet. The D example looks like 1/2 a 0 it was very narrow. Instead of having the fat ) part of the D, does that make sense? so he copied it exactly! He was a little shaky because he was trying to make it so narrow. She wrote in red over his a fatter D like that was how he should have been writing it. I handed Casen a sheet of paper today and told him to write D's and he did it PERFECTLY, the only reason they looked like they did was because the worksheet looked like that, that isn't his fault. He knows how to do it, but he's very particular and if you tell him to do something a certain way he's a perfectionist and he's going to do it exactly that way. That isn't his fault there was a shitty example. So he is soo upset thinking he can't even write D's and he's in trouble at school now.

Casen has been absolutely loving school, even told me he wished there weren't weekends because he wants to go all the time and even wished he could go until late at night, he LOVES it. But after I got him calmed down today he asked me if we could tell the sub that he is sick so he doesn't have to go back until his teacher is back.  Poor thing, I feel so bad.  I wrote his teacher but I'm still waiting to hear back, he's dreading going to school tomorrow

Day 9

Today was kind of a blah day, it rained this afternoon and I was just feeling really tired and lazy.  Didn't want to do too much today, really dreaded cleaning up the house today.  Hayden was just in a mood this afternoon, picking fights with the boys all evening...was def ready for bed when the time came.  Then it was still storming and Casen and Hayden were really scared but finally they got down and I was able to take a hot bath and relax some.  Then was time to make lunches :)

Ham and Cheese sandwich

Apple banana muffin (in Landon's only)

strawberries

kiwi

pretzels

marshmallows

applesauce

Crystal light raspberry lemonade to drink

grammy sammy and mash up too

Want a chance to win 4pk easy lunch boxes and a carrying bag?

When I was trying to pick lunch boxes for the boys this year I spent months deciding and eventually went with some from www.gogreenlunchbox.com that we love...but they are pretty expensive.  These from www.easylunchboxes.com are a very inexpensive option!  I'm realizing after Casen leaving his lunch box at school 2x already in just 7 days I really should have got some extras to have, if I don't win this I'm going to have to order some to have as extras and to use for Hayden's playdates.  They look great!  Check out the giveaway here
