Life is back on Schedule

School has began and Alexa is Loving the 4th grade... At least that is what she tells me.
Andrea started her ECFE(Early Childhood Family Education) class on Friday's and She says "I go to school like my big sister Lexa"...She had her backpack and was super proud and is getting so grown up!
We just celebrated Andrea's 3rd Birthday yesterday! Alexa had a little surprise party for her in the basement with balloons and presents and puppies all over with music, books and anything "Puppish" It was super cute and Alexa and her friend Stephanie worked really hard, as I was out getting the cake and balloons. I can't believe she is already 3! WE did not have a party for Andrea, as the cousins are getting older and far away, and busy in their lives which is hard as I love to entertain for Birthday parties and I think Andrea would have really liked it. :)
We went to Chuck E Cheeses and it was a COMPLETE... ZOO! They had an Somalian REUNION party and it WAS packed and kids were OUT of control, jumping on the Ski ball machines, stealing tickets and coins, so we ate and said we could come back some other night when kids could behave. I am SO for discipline and Not one of the mother's there said NOTHING.. They would actually laugh and think it was Funny. I do not know how many balls the kids took from me and would run up to the top and throw it the whole on Ski ball.. My patience was to the TOP and all the kids running around with Snotty noses, I know For sure my girls will be getting SOMETHING.. Anyways that is my vent for the day...
Alexa had Hockey tryouts Sunday and has more this weekend on Saturday and Sunday... GOOD Luck Alexa! :) I PRAY her asthma does not get bad this week...
Scott went Bow hunting this weekend (Friday and Saturday and was home late Sat night) and he did not get a deer. :( Dave, whose land he goes to, got 2! Scott is in another broom ball tournament this weekend, but it is at Schwan's which is 5 minutes from here! :) They came in 3rd place in Vegas, which Vegas was a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well.. TTFN

Glad to hear things are settling down at your house! Good luck with hockey try-outs...is she in U10 this year? Greta doesn't start hockey until November-U8. Hannah decided not to play this year. She's a volleyball player but I was sure she would do hockey again!

Happy belated birthday to your beautiful little princess!!

We'll have to look you up if we are ever up by the Schwans arena!

What a sweet birthday princess. I love that we were celebrating at the same time! We opted to go to Chuck E Cheese mid week this week to avoid that horrific moms who don't care what their kids do scene that we observe frequently there. Really makes me mad that they even allow that but parents go chat and the kids run wild. I hate that it's Emily's favorite all time place (besides King's Dominion)!!! LOL Love the cake!!!

They both look like they have grown so much over the summer! The cupcake doggie is adorable! Happy birthday :)
