My poor
Ginger Bread, Ginger Boy, fell off his chair at home and hit his eye! So, he needed stitches over the weekend before coming to my house...This poor little dude, has bad luck. He goes for a pre-op appt for tubes and then has the surgery on the 11th of this month, so, please, if you pray, say a prayer for him, will ya?

We had our 7th wedding anniversary! Last year, I did a post on it. You can read it
here.I was going to do a post about it, but decided not to. May 3rd, 2003 we got married and it was a wonderful day, even though it rained for 13 hours before...To celebrate this year we went to Universal Studios (again!) just the two of us, me and my hubby. It was a great way to celebrate and spend some time with out children. Props to Kylie for babysitting Serena and Brandon that day, for about 7 hours...she is a great older sister. Thanks Kylie! :)

We have implemented a "chore list" for Serena. She has to make her bed, clean her room, and get toys from the living room daily. I also added not crying at bedtime, which makes her angry, since that is not a chore, in her eyes. I told her she can get rewarded for going to bed in a good mood...so far, so good. Oh! She also has to help Kylie with trash. She must go to our bathroom, the first bathroom and Kylie's room and get the trash cans and take them to the kitchen, where Kylie can dump them into one bag, then she has to take them back. She does the chore and we give her a star and after so many stars she gets a small reward, candy, small toy...but she has to earn them. Which is hard for her dad...he loves to spoil all the kids...

Yesterday, my van's engine light came on...you can read that
drama here. So, the diagnosis: First, let me tell you my BIL is a mechanic, we took the van to him. They changed the oil, which was not the problem. The light was triggered by the
transmission...I was so bummed when they told me this. They suggested taking it to the Dodge dealership
if we have extended warranty, which expired last year in June...we will take it back to the shop Monday and pray it is nothing too major or expensive...This gives me a stomach ache....we cannot afford another car payment and it seems like we can never get ahead...

You know when you have your walls painted just so and the kids push stuff up against them, causing the nice paint to chip, just a little??? Well, this happened in Serena and Brandon's room, the Dora kitchen is the culprit. We move it away from the wall and call it good. Well, someone got into trouble and was put in her room for time out...
she sat and picked the wall and made a hole, while in time out! Can we say pissed beyond belief??????? What was going thru her mind? I would love to know...
