About a week ago, and after about 8 tries and deletes, I got Haylie to sing for me. It's pretty cute, but it took us a few seconds to get it going. She'd just been crying so the beginning is a little rough! :) Sorry it's a little distorted...

Loving Motherhood!
So my friend Jenni, who I went with to elementary through high school, got a hold of me on here and we might do a play date with our kids! I think her kids are a little bit older than mine, but not by much. Should be fun! Sometimes I wish I had a job, to sort of get away from home once in a while. And then there are times when I think it's so nice to be a stay-at-home mom. I know what my kids are seeing, saying, learning... and not 24 hours a day, but more than if they were at a day care. There are times, however, when I don't think I can take much more whining and screaming and naughty kids. And then I always remember that someone once put up with me. And somehow I make it through another day.
I was reading Jenni's blog posts, and another girl's too, and I am amazed at how they do it! They seem so organized at being a mom; with so many ideas and activities to keep their kids entertained. The other girl was saying that she took her son to a park and he climbed to the top of this little hill and pretended he was in a giant bird's nest. I was shocked. He's younger than Haylie by 6 months, and she doesn't do the pretend thing. I'm wondering if I should start coaxing her to play pretend... I would think that a girl that's almost 3 would be doing that sort of thing. Oh well I guess!

This week...
...has been crazy! Joe's gone working... Monday and Tuesday he was on Whidbey Island, and now he's working on the Snoqualmie job until tomorrow. Haylie and Connor miss him.. I miss him.. I just really like it when he comes home at night after work. BUT... oh well. It's just what ya do I guess!
The neighbors that I talked about in a previous post... the ones who always come over to use our phone, have had their kids taken away by CPS (I'm assuming). The other night, the mom caught her house on fire, while she was extremely drunk and extremely high. Whether it was on purpose or accident, no one knows, but this was just sort of the last straw. A bunch of us neighbors had been talking about making an annonymous phone call to CPS, because not only was she asking for the phone, she was asking for money. She'd been using another lady's toilet, and hose to fill up buckets of water. She sent her 7 year old son over to our house to ask for money. It's just enough. Both her and her husband are constantly intoxicated and/or high and it really was for the best, although very sad. I am glad, however, that I didn't have to make the phone call.

A Day in the Park
After work on Monday, Joe and I stopped at Yoke's and picked up some picnic type food for dinner, and then headed over to a park near our house. It was fun! The kids played and we had a great time! Joe was a little stressed out from work and at first he wasn't too pumped with the idea, but he enjoyed himself once we got out of the car. The only negative thing about it was the wind was blowing pretty hard, but all in all it was great time spent with family!!!

Exciting Day!!!
Well... we have been a bunch of our financial documents to send off to get pre-approved for a home loan, and today was the day. We finally got it together, met our real estate agent to look at a house, and made an offer, all in the course of about an hour and a half! Everything just happened so fast and it's a lot more stressful than I thought it would be... I hope our offer gets accepted. Joe's been way more optimistic than I have on this one. I guess I'm just nervous that it won't work out. Everyone please include us in your prayers so we can get out of this neighborhood!!!
