Heather Plus 5

Do you have a friend that would drive 1500 miles to spend a couple days with you?

That on a moments notice will pack up her 5 kids and drive all through the night.

I do!!!!!!

Dinner at Pizza Doctors. We all cheered on S while he ate his body weight in pizza!


A quick stop to the "Cheese Grocery Store"


Brylee caught a ride on the back of M the whole trip!


Only in Wisconsin are there grocery stores with 2.5 aisles of cheese.



Mr. N met me in the kitchen every morning to prepare breakfast. So early in fact that Heather slept in front of the bedroom door so he could not escape to give me the gift of more than 90 minutes of sleep on the 3rd night. Thanks Heather!!



Yummy Custard on our way to shop in the Dells!



Looking Marvelous!


I have no idea why Heather did not buy these for D!

Then we spent the rest of the night at Knuckleheads the kids had the whole place to themselves because normal people don't keep their kids out all hours of the night. And I was nice enough to let Heather escort the 2 smallest on the rides and I only saw her running to the bathroom one time to relieve her stomach. Aren't I nice?


We spent at least 6 hours at the local resell shop and happened to find M a matching shirt. The girls working the runway.


And found N the most "handsome fanciest white shirt" he was nice enough to model the tie before it about choked him to death.



There were cat naps to be had because us 3 laughed until way into the late night/early morning.

and last but not least a crocheting lesson for me that did not go so well.


I love Heather plus her 5!

Uncle Henry

Brett rocked the house starring as Uncle Henry in the 5th Grade Presentation of Wizard of Oz.
Not only did he have his lines memorized but most everyone elses too!
Watch for him on the Big Screen!

The Princess

I found a "Brylee" shirt at a resell shop in town.
The girl on the shirt is "Our Princess"
Today the Princess and I had the discussion that wearing sandals on this brisk 20 degree weather may not be the best choice.
"But mom how else will my friends see my toe nail polish?"
We compromised she wore boots to school and is going to put on her sandals when she gets to school.
She is the Princess!

While the Boys were Away...

We sent the boys to the movies and we danced the night away and had a Skype party with these fun nutty KS friends!

Saturday

I happen to love Saturdays spent all day at home. It is a rare treat around here. Not one place to be all day long. So we are....
making a fun dinner
conquering a mountain of laundry
reading a great book
licking limes

and shooting baskets on a nice freezing cold winter March Saturday.

My Roller

Another session of gymnastics has come and gone.
After 8 shorts weeks she can finally do somewhat of a cartwheel.
Next session starts Monday and this time she wants to learn how to do a handspring.
Go Brylee!

Viking Express

Brettt is part of the 5th grade choir. All 4 elementary schools met at the Middle School and performed together with a musician named Randy Peterson.
Brett having fun before the concert starts


Brylee happens to love this girl. Her name is Lexi and she is in Brett's class.
While Brett practiced basketball this season Brylee would peek through the glass at Lexi's dance class and dance her heart out with Lexi. She talks about Lexi at least 20 times a day!

Out of the Mouth of Brylee

"Mama you smell good just like Mimi."
"Is that a good smell Brylee?"
"Yep you and Mimi smell just like peach skin and your face smells good like the inside of Mimi's car....and I know why you smell like Mimi, it is because you stayed in Arizonia too long."
"I think you are right Brylee!"
