This week

This week has been a week of ups and downs for me. I felt crappy on and off all through out the week but I survived. On Monday I went with the YM and YW sledding. I am not one for cold weather so I sat in the car and watched from a distance. The kids all had a great time and that is what is really important. Nate who was supposed to have the day off had to go into work so he took the 2 younger kids with him. They had a blast hanging out at daddy's work. I am glad that they got to share that with him. On Tuesday I got to babysit this little fella. I had such a blast having a little kid running around the house (although he wouldn't talk to me for the firs 45 minutes or so). And isn't he adorable look at that cheesier he gave the camera. On Wednesday Tyler had his Pinewood Derby. This year he decided to go for looks and not for speed. His car was a shark. He got an award for his car being "the most fintastic". He had such a great time showing off his car.

If you look closely you can see the arm that is hanging out of the sharks mouth. Nate and I have decided that we need to go out as a family every Saturday from now until he leaves (Feb 20). So bowling we went. This is the only picture that I took the whole night long. I am not sure why that is but that is what happened. Ella would have certain lucky positions that she would stand in while she was bowling this was one of them. And yes before you ask I do bowl with bumpers.

This week Ella has said some funny things to me. She said "When I grow up I am going to teach kindergarten and change my name to Miss Ytuarte" That is her kindergarten teacher. She also asked me if I had Miss Y for a teacher I told her no because Miss Y was younger than I am but she just can't wrap her head around it. Then she also told me "I don't want to marry a boy without hair on the top of his head. EWWWW" She is such a funny girl.
