Hayden asked today, "Can we have a special dinner tonight?"
Me, "For what?"
Hayden, "Mom, today is President's Day!!!!"
Me, "Oh...well...I'll cook...dinner..."
Hayden ..............
Me, (I could tell THAT wasn't going over)"And we'll put out some candles to eat by!"
Hayden, "That's good."
I guess I didn't know President's Day was SUCH a big deal, but for Hayden it is. And so was Ground Hog Day.
Scott made it home Friday morning at about 6:30 AM. Remember, he likes the red-eye flight. He doesn't leave until 5:30 tonight, maybe Hayden is right about Pres. Day :) We did have a great weekend. Hannah had her sleepover birthday party Friday night, and it was better than expected. The girls all got along, the whole night-no fighting! Plus, it was really pretty low key. They played games (we had a speed game tournament), ate lots of pizza and junk, watched movies, I painted finger nails, they had a dance contest....hmmmm what else?? Can't think of anything now, but they had fun.
Hunter had a basketball tournament game, they lost. It was a great game though and they took 4th place in the tournament. And he found out he is now the first chair clarinet player in band. He was feeling pretty good about that.
Hayden (finally) learned to ride his bike. We waited long enough, because he got on and could ride! He could ride about a year ago, but wouldn't. This time he is all over it. He went out this morning before the bus to practice. He got on the seat and said his butt hurt. I'm sure it does. He also lost a front tooth. He told me last night, he "is like a six year old." You know, loosing a tooth AND riding a bike, big stuff. :)
And, I don't want to move. That move date is looming closer and closer and closer, and I can't stop it! How can I possibly move? How can I possibly leave my friends? Neighbors? My house? All the things that are special to me. I feel like a home sick 8 year old that has to call her Mom to pick her up from a sleepover. And believe me, I had to do that a time or two. We are still waiting to hear about the house. People ask me if I'm excited...I always say sure, because they don't want to hear the real answer ;) And I will go out there and be friendly (after all I'm Marleen's daughter AND I've lived in TX for the last 10 years for heavens sake, the people in WA will be wondering who the heck that lady is and where is she from ;) And yes, I will enjoy the weather and it is very pretty there. But...but...but...

i know you're having a hard time with moving. i'm sorry. i just tried to give you a little pep talk, so i won't repeat it. but i love you!!!
I wish I could make this move easier for you. Just have to get through it I guess. Love the pictures of the kids. Hope in that Helmet. Was she on the skateboard or Hayden's bike? That girl. Hayden riding his bike! He is getting big and will have a birthday next month. Hunter is so impressive with first chair. He doesn't surprise me one bit with his musical abilities. So glad Hannah had a fun time on her birthday. She is getting big and such a sweet girl. Glad she has so many friends. I love talking to her on the phone.
Moving is so hard. Good luck with it. Darling pictures.
Sounds like a fun weekend - -loved the pictures! I hear you on the move though -- it's a tough thing to do. Hang in there -- once it happens and you're there, things will fall into place. They are lucky to have you there and they will LOVE you.
I don't even really LIKE where I live and the thought of having to move one day, which will inevitably come, is overwhelming to me. It must be so much harder when you love where you are. Good luck on the move!
The limbo stage you are in now is the hardest, in my opinion. Hang in there, sis.xoxo
ah, change is hard!!! moving is hard!!! but of course, you will be fine, it will all be fine.
your kids. so cute. outrageously cute. sounds like a great weekend.
Hope is SOOOO cute in those pictures! Holy ravioli! Love them. And Hayden crakcs me up--didn't you know special dinners are required for President's day? :) I'm sorry you're sad to move, even though you're happy to move...if that makes sense. :) But I'm excited for you to be closer to family. That will be a blessing in and of itself.
