Just thought you'd want to know.....

Our dog is now officially in the terrible twos. lol. His favorite things are unrolling the toilet paper and dragging it through the house, looking at magazines with his teeth and chasing pop bottles all over the main floor. He's gorgeous and awesome and I am much more lenient with him than I was with the boys when they were unrolling toilet paper and dragging it through the house. ha!

Sterling passed his driver's training course with a 96%! Can I get a woot woot! Way to go! It is a well known fact around here that he is easily bribed to do any job if the payoff is the opportunity to go driving. We're not taking advantage of that. Much.

Kaedo had his first day in the kitchen at school yesterday and spent 50 minutes washing lettuce. Boo. He says he knows more about lettuce that he ever wanted to. Also he's never eating lettuce again.

Craig and I made a deal this week that it just fabulous. I will iron his dress shirts for him (gasp - you don't do that already?) and he will clean our bathroom and the main floor bathroom. I totally won that deal. He must really hate ironing shirts. Or really wants the bathrooms cleaned.

Since the only chores the boys do around the house are recycling/garbages and putting their clothes away, they have now been hired as schleppers and will be working trade shows with dear old mom. I even made them their very own three month calendar so they know when they are working and can plan accordingly. Can I pay them in tea and Tupper.ware?

The newest additions to our record collection are Rick Astley and Cindy Lauper. Can you say 80s? Love them both. What a cheap and fun hobby. Plus it means I can sing along and not listen to the boy's music where half of it is bleeped out. Old much?

Sterling recently helped me dye a strip of my hair teal. What that boy won't do for his mom. See above under driving opportunities.

Until tomorrow!

Congratulations Sterling!! Way to go!

Kaeden - garden lettuce is even worse to clean (got to be careful of worms - ug!!:) Sorry we missed your call tonight - we were out playing walleyball. Hope to catch up with you soon.

Way to work together you two - ironing, cleaning bathrooms - hum - not too sure which I enjoy doing the most myself but don't think I can talk dad/Stan into doing either!

Like your mom mentioned - your helpers at the trade shows will increase your sales for sure.

Craig sent a picture of the boot remover - reminder of grampa & gramma - hope it gets used sometime or other.

Heading off to bed after a fairly busy day of Line Dancing, cheering the ladies hockey team on to victory, coffee with friends and then an evening having fun playing walleyball. Hope everyone else had a great day - BIG HUGS TO ALL!
