Puppet Show

Nathan and Zachary informed Eric and I that they were going to put on a puppet show for us. The puppet show was written and performed by Nate and Zach.  Notice how Nathan's has a happier ending!  lol  

Thanks to Eric for making it into an imovie for me.  He's a whiz at this computer stuff.  Sorry, I didn't use my good video camera  so the quality is terrible.  

Twins

Twins are so much fun.  I just enjoy watching them interact with each other.  I bet there will come a day when my twins wish they were identical.  I have always heard about identical twins switching classes in high school and the teacher never knows.

What should I do with my boys?  When one doesn't want to do his homework, the other will occasionally help out.  Zachary loves to draw so when Nathan doesn't know how to draw something for his book report, Zach offers to draw it for him.  Today, one didn't want to write his book report, so the other offered to write it for him.  My first inclination was to stop them, but I just had to walk away and chuckle.   I wish I had a twin that would pick up the slack for me sometimes.

I thought, it sure would be nice to always have my best friend with me. But then I realized, now that I am married, I guess I always do.

Cheese and Mac

I realize that some of you are probably totally bored by my blog entries. But my blogs are more for me to remember funny things (at least funny to me) that my kids have done.  I get a laugh from them when I read through them months later. 

It is a known fact in our home that Zach doesn't like mac and cheese.  But my other three kids love it and ask for it often.  Well, I forgot today and I served it to the four kids.  Zach immediately said, "I don't like mac and cheese."  Eric quickly responded, "This isn't mac and cheese, it is cheese and mac."  Zach looked at me with that serious face and asked me if this was true.  I said "yes, it is cheese and mac."  Well, turns out Zach likes cheese and mac.  Imagine that.

Mario and I couldn't hardly stop laughing during our lunch prayer.  We were thinking maybe he is not as smart as we thought!

On the Move

Mario came home yesterday and said the Air Force has denied his request to extend here in California for a couple more months. I wasn't too surprised when he told me because I know that is how things work in the AF, besides, what would he do for 2 months after graduation. It seems like a complete waste of money to let him stay here and do "research" for one of the professors.

Anyway, instead of moving towards the end of May, looks like we will be moving early April. Wow, that sure changes plans. I had to start telling the teachers that I won't be able to tutor anymore. I am so sad because I have really grown attached to these students.

Thank goodness I started early and found a good program for Eric and Erin for the next school year. But what do I do now that they have to check out of class early here. When I contacted the school in Tucson, they said that the kids could start this school year. What a relief! Now I guess I will have to homeschool the twins for a couple months because they are not too happy about changing schools in the middle of the year.

We have decided to rent instead of buying. Tucson is a declining market and so we think it will be in our best interest to wait awhile. So now I have to find a rental. I haven't found too many that will accomodate our family. This may be harder than finding a house to buy. There's lots of those on the market. Anyway, wish me luck.
