The Outsiders....

Myron was ASKED to read (not audition like every one else) for the part of Pony Boy in the upcoming BPA play "The Outsiders". He wasn't just asked by anyone...he was asked by my friend, Dinah. I'd include her last name, but I don't want this to come up on google searches.

Unfortunately, my little Myron hasn't acted (unless you count our wards christmas play), and was feeling very shy. So....the part went to someone else. Hush now...i know!

They asked if he would feel more comfortable being in the ensemble. He obliged. Shucks.

Then, miss Grease star herself, asked that Nathan and Brennan come along as they needed more boys. So.....to BPA we went tonight. I had to fight them tooth and nail.

After two hours, (yes) I left them and met a friend for dinner. A half an hour later the boys called. They had LEFT....yes, LEFT the rehearsal. Nathan and Brennan had had it and refused to return. Luckily Myron (after a nice talking to by Gabe) decided to continue on and take part in the play. Yay. It's nice to have so many friends as actors on this Island. Team work people! Team work. Myron will now be in the Outsiders. I thought for sure he was greaser material but...nope. He's a Soc...

Pumpkin Patch!

Only two children you ask? Well, yes....

My older boys didn't want anything to do with the Pumpkin patch....

"That's for kids", they said. Boy, did they miss out on all the fun. :)

Happy Birthday Brennan!

Well.....he's a teenager. I have THREE teenagers now. I can't believe it!!
He wanted a cell phone and a digital camera...done and done. Easy peasy. We also carved pumpkins, made caramel apples and roasted seeds tonight.

My sweet boy....Happy Birthday!

Poison Ivy?

Mae spent the day at Grandma Sandras and was spoiled as usual. They went Halloween costume shopping and this is how Mae was returned to me. I am surprised she let us wash her hair before bed. What a cutie.

LadyTron!!

For my birthday present, Shane got us tickets to one of my favorite bands, Ladytron.

We had NO idea that they weren't even going to go on until midnight until the day of.

So....yes we still went, but luckily Showbox was wonderful and gave us a two ticket credit to an upcoming show.

We met our close friends before hand for dinner and dancing, here on the Island.

Then we caught the 11:30 ferry into Seattle.
We had such a great time. Even though we were only at the concert for an hour. It was incredible.
Eon, Elise and Nate.

Nate and Shane below. Shane was asked by a whole group of women if he was famous because they thought he looked like Kubiak (click here) from Parker Lewis rules. Too funny!
The only bummer? When we finally got back to our car at 2:30am....we couldn't find the keys. We took a taxi home and came back in the morning with the spare set, but alas....the parking officer ticketed us...50.00. It was worth it though!

Tonight is my big birthday party with all my friends. Can't wait!

Happy Birthday to......ME!!

It was a great, relaxing day. My friend Nonny brought me a beautiful Italian cream cake (yum) and i received many flowers which I love. 36...it's gonna be a great year!

Nannying

I just got back late Sat. night from Nannying for 5 days straight for a family in Poulsbo.

The parents went on vacation and they paid me to stay with their sweet little kids.

It was a lot of fun and a lot of work. I am thankful that I have a small home, because after spending a week cleaning and such, I was exhausted!
My kids were able to come spend Friday night with me and we had a great time. Mae stayed the entire time with me. She and the little girl I watched are the same age, so it worked out perfectly.

Skype was a great tool for the kids and parents to stay connected.
Mae had her first sleepover with a friend....and then 4 more. :)

Fun was had by all and I am happy to be home in my own bed again.
