Sunday

Sunday was a bit different today. We DID have Sunday School. We did attend the Traditional Service. We DID eat at Burger King (ugh). And then the day diverged from the normal plan.

The boys had a paintballing engagement (read below). This meant that I had the little ones. Zander was having a bad day - an OCD/ODD type day. We decided Sunday School and one service was all we could expect....

Mike went to the Gospel service and I took the little ones home. Oh, first we stopped by recycling.

At home we cleaned and did laundry.

Mike got home and we cleared a spot for the freezer. We are also working to get all my files off the "boys" computer and on to the laptop. At this point 90% of the Word files and ebooks have been transferred, Money and files are transferred, and outlook is configured on the laptop. The problem being that photos are still everywhere (the goal is to put them on discs and get them off the computer) and my outlook files and emails etc from co-ops and what not are on the boys computer - but I'm trying to begin using this laptop for all. Mike will then get my computer, which crashed when he was deployed, resurrected and they'll have three computers once again. I will be able to get all my files off THAT computer and put them on the laptop too. I'm not sure what the big overall plan is - I think a server...but this is the first step.

We finished off my birthday cake! I guess the birthday has to end.

I worry about Josiah working 40 hours a week, going to school etc. I know we did it when we were that age. I just worry when I see him fall asleep at Double Dave's. ::snort:: For the very first time tonight.....he had a paper sneak up on him. Oops - it's due tomorrow. Mike jokes that *HE* never forgot a paper until the night before it was due. ::snort:: Yeah, OK - early dementia setting in?

I'll bring the day to a close with this last photo. We have back to back laptops here at the table...but mine's about to be shut off for the night. LOL

My Birthday Week Continues

Wonderful handmade cards, a new freezer, dinner out -how could it get better?

It seems that Josiah and Jamin had purchased a gift before hearing about the joint freezer thing.

Tonight after they got back from paintballing (a team building thing Cy organized for work).....

I was told to shut my eyes. Do you like the wrapping? They get that anti-wrapping gene from me! (There's been an ongoing discussion around here about genetics and what they may catch from me and Mike based on our family histories. LOL)

Stacia watched me struggle with the packing tape and styrofoam and said, "Wet me help!" She proceeded to open the gift the gift.

Jamin and Jared had bought the 6 pc starter set of the Willow Creek Nativity for me at Christmas. I always leave one set out year round....because we celebrate Him all year...and this one has been out.....but now....Josiah and Jamin bought me the Wisemen too!
