A new tradition.

Kalaree and I have started a new tradition. Every night after the girls go to bed, her and I curl up in my bed and read while listening to music. She has her books and I have mine. It is nice. This tradition has really strengthened hers and my relationship. I have learned so much from her the last few nights. She has decided that she wants to save her money and after high school graduation go travel Europe for a couple of months. She actually wants to go for a year but well I vetoed that but told her she could go for a month or so before she started at college. She said that she wanted to that since she was 5, who knew? We talk about boys, friends, teen drama, etc. It is so nice to see her growing up into a wonderful young lady. She really cracks me up and she is such a happy girl. Not many can say that they are as blessed to have a great 13, almost 14 year old.

Interesting. I did not think that my wonderful granddaughter Kalaree was interested in Europe. Perhaps she would email Jean and start asking about coming over in 2010. I in the meantime should not sterotype all teenagers :(. Maybe something like Spring Vacation 2010? What do you think Kalaree? Ya know, Paris, Burgess, Barcelona, of course Venice. bye for now.

Finally some movement.

So almost a complete month later we are finally getting our van fixed. I have been playing phone tag with this place in Denver and I could not for the life of me get someone on the phone to arrange the repairs. Well today I finally called and demanded a supervisor and woohoo finally our van will be repaired. David is taking it in tomorrow to let them look at it and then he said they should be able to start the repairs next Monday. I will have a rental to drive while they are fixing it. I am so glad to be finally getting this done and over with. The funny thing is that I am also trying to settle the Dr. bill with it and they keep commenting that it is really early to settle this. I think that is hilarious that it would take this long to get everything in place to get it done and over with. Oh well.

I have great kids!!!

David ended up working last night. He was just going in to sign papers and they ended up keeping him till almost 5:30. Which was fine. I got home to find Kalaree and Kezri at the kitchen counter and Kalaree was helping Kezri wiht her homework. I started dinner, while they continued to work. Then we ate and the girls headed out to play. Lately though I have really enjoyed their little snipits. So I figured I would share those here. On our way home from the car accident. Of course once everything had calmed down. Kezri says, "I was shaking so hard my eyes were watering." UUMM your eyes were watering because you were crying. Got to love kids. Last night I thanked Kalaree for helping Kezri with her homework. Kezri replies, "I had to force her to do it." Oh the power of younger siblings. Kami is really afraid of Halloween. She is really trying this year. However, the other night a commercial for Scream at the Beach , a local haunted house came on and she had to hide her

Dresses.

I finished the dress and even had them done before midnight. Kami's is really cute and Kezri's fits her. It is amazing how two different outfits can come from one pattern. This was the most simple pattern so I plan to make more. In fact I already have the fabric for Kami's next one. I am even thinking of doing the doll one to match for her with this next one. Both girls picked their fabric main fabric. Kami had to have both yellow and red, which surprising goes well together. Kezri picked sage green and pale pink. I got plenty of pictures of Kami's but when I went to take Kalaree's and Kezri's pictures today the battery on the camera was dead so I will have to get out and get some more later. Kalaree asked for a store bought outfit. Which is fine since now a days you spend the same amount on the fabric as you would if you bought it premade. Plus she is at that age where it just isn't cook anymore and I totally understand. So she got a shopping trip just her
