We are having LifeHouse here tonight I have been cleaning like a mad lady and I even cooked goodies!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!
I cooked Chocholate Chip muffins from scratch I have never done that before!! I also cooked the kids pancakes for lunch :)
I accidentley reset our clocks in the bedroom last night (I moved all the furniture around) and set the clocks an hour ahead of the time it was! So guess what Eli got up 1 hour before he normally does!! He was not happy :) oops! I thought I slept until 1030 nope it was only 930 so I didn't feel as guilty!!!
I absolutely am LOVING LIFE, loved seeing friends on Monday and love being in ministry! LOVE IT! Not what I thought I would be doing 10 years ago but God knows what is best!! I owe so many people for all the help and encouragement they have given me. Working in the Kids ministry at 121 and learning from that leadership team has been an awesome awesome example for me!! Love you guys and miss you!!
Back to the cleaning!

Hair
Let me preface this by saying I LOVE MY HAIR!!!!!! LOVE IT!
With that being said I really didn't think through the process very clearly, I had to go reverify our address at Autumn's school (No big deal since all the 1st grade teachers know me) and then I had to go to Riley's school a very traditional LUTHERAN School I am sure they think I am on drugs :)
It's all good!! Let me also clarify that I did ask Joel and Ben's permission to do this to my hair with being the Childrens director and our official launch date comming up :)
OK so I have been up to my ears in trying to get school stuff all ready, this year I am not going out and buying new clothes (they have 1 new outfit for the first day) and we will buy more as the year goes on! I did get Riley some Levi Shorts for 3.80 at Kohls!!! And a Chaps polo for the first day!

Six Flags
Zackary and I went to six Flags last week on Tuesday! Just him and I !! We had a blast Eli took the day off to stay with Autumn, RILEY WAS OUT OF TOWN.
Zackary and I left at 1030 Am and we rode Every big coaster there was!! I haven't been in 7 YEARS so I was stoked to be able to ride the rides again!!! I had not been on the Superman and was excited that they added a new coaster. Zackary had not been on any of the coasters so he was nervous!
first we rode the Batman Just as much fun as I remember, then we rode the Mr Freeze I forgot to mention to him that it goes in loops but MAN IT WAS A BLAST!!! I made him ride in the Front car because there is no other way to ride REALLY!!
Then we went to Superman, I was really expecting a fast drop since they tore down Cliffhanger It was NOT SCARY Or fun if anything it was relaxing and boring. I was very disappointed as was zack!
We went on to ride and ride and ride!!
We rode the Mr Freeze 3 times in a row, Flashback 3 times in a row, and Batman and Zackary wanted to do the flashback 1 more time I couldn't my head hurt, and I was tired. My age really showed that day!! I also took him on the Giant which is NOT RECOMMENDED It beat us UP!! It broke my shades.
It was fun to hang out with my boy and chat about any and everything, and to have no distractions since he is GLUED to his darn phone all the time. We had a fab time!! He even got a gift for his sister and brother!! I really ENJOYED my date with my boy!!
He is growing so quickly it is insane, he is an inch away from outgrowing me, he has girls texting him, and girls looking and giggling at Six Flags at him. Man I really am going to miss him since he has already gone back home.

Lost Teeth and Tooth fairy
Autumn lost her 4th tooth, It is cute :)
She pulled it all by herself which was huge since she is so dramatic........ so she got a note from the tooth fairy and 6 dollars for pulling it out and doing an awesome job at keeping them all nice and white!
I know the tooth fairy has raised with inflation but since she is 6 we decided that was a good amount! She saves her money like crazy so she won't spend it!

The many jobs as a Mom according to my kids
We were on our way to do the many errands we had to do today, I had a meeting this morning the kids stayed with a sitter, I came home they had lunch, we had to run to bank, run to the store to make a copy of a key, had to drop of said copy of key, had to run to Kay granger school where we have church and see if I could get something I left, run by peditrician office to get Riley's records for his preschool, and had to go to bank and make a stop at target!
Are you tired yet???
Anyways so in the midst of all the errands and driving the kids decided we needed to talk, we started talking about my first job which was at sonic and why some people have to work at night etc.... Autumn told me that I have lot of jobs TRUE so her and Riley decided they would list the jobs I have.
these are excatly how they said them
