Week in review - updated

Last week was a crazy week. Here is everything in a nutshell.

* My Activity Days girls finished up their service project. We have made 20+ newborn and preemie hats that we are donating to a local hospital. Brinlee even joined in on the fun



* We spent $500 on Austin's baby teeth, he seems to no enamel on his teeth and his baby teeth were in really bad shape. He goes back in two weeks for more work. On the positive side, he was a champ. Didn't move in the chair while the dentist was working, and he had to have one tooth pulled. His cheek was swollen for a few days, but he is doing much better.

* Austin had his first visit from the tooth fairy. He walked around with his $1 for two days, it was so cute.



* Brinlee and Rachel both got 100% on their spelling tests.

* Kelsie got her braces off, she is really happy with her smile.

* We are having non-stop dance practices for Kelsie and Rachel to learn their new dances for the Peter Pan production. Rachel even has more practices, since she is a main character.

* Jason and I have been using any extra free moment to get all the paper work and questions filled out for our new software, (we are hoping it will make my job a lot easier). It was a huge relief to get it out by Fed Ex on Friday.

* The other free minutes were spent getting 11 layouts done for the scrapbook store. They should be available for sale in the next few weeks.

* The most exciting news is that everything seems to falling into place for starting construction on our new house. We met with the bank and we will know for sure this week. The permit is ready. Now we just have to figure out when the power will be extended to our lot. Once that happens then we can get our permit and the funding.

* We started trying low fat/calorie meals from My Girlfriends Kitchen this week. They do all the preparation work for you, all you do is pick it up. We have tried three meals so far and have loved all of them.

* Jason, Kelsie and I all got new cell phones. Jason needs a new one to work with the new software and got a Blackberry (he hates it). I'm giving him two weeks, and I hope the two have a better relationship then they do today. I needed one that had better sound and was easier to text message. Kelsie got one because the one I picked had a buy 1 get 1 free offer. She was elated. We got the new Rumor and I love it almost as much as Kelsie does. I got green and Kelsie got white.



* The Expedition started making funny noises Saturday night when Jason and I were on our way home from Easter shopping. We went to PF Chang's for dinner, as well, yummm! Sunday morning it wouldn't start so we all piled into the truck to go to church. After dinner we jumped it, then it wouldn't start again. So it went to the doctors this morning. We know it needs a new battery, that has to be done before they can test anything else.

This next week looks like it will be crazy as well, and I can't believe Easter is next weekend.

Sounds crazy! I sure am glad that I only have 2 right now. We'll see you soon. Did you have good luck Easter shopping?

Sounds like Austin will have lots of fun dental visits like Coop does. Cooper has to have a tooth pulled with no enamel, but they are trying to want until after he is done with the expander.

ps. I hate vehicle issues!
