family

Well things are pretty lonely here. Don is away for a week for training for his job. It is just me and the kiddos. I tell you what? There is NEVER a dull moment at our place. Caleb has his pine wood derby car race tomorrow. He better win. That is all I have to say. :) Kids are all doing well. Caleb got an A+ on a math quiz and and A on his social studies test. Zach is doing good. He never has any problems getting his homework done and taken back. But man that kid likes to irritate his sister. Rachel is a screamer. If her brothers look at her wrong look out. Plug your ears. But she is the best helper. She LOVED doing dishes. I don't mind that a bit. She plays pretty well with Ethan and Mayah. Ethan is a kick in the pants. He is hilarious. On the way home from my sisters house our Expedition almost broke down. It was scary. Don was out of town and I always go the back way so yeah pretty scary. Well I told all the kids to pray very hard that we would make it back home. I was praying out loud when Ethan said "Can't we carry it home (meaning the car)". It was so funny and really made me laugh. Then the other night something happened and he said, "what's the problem?" That kid makes me laugh. Mayah is just plain adorable with a bit of tabassco. WOW that girl has an attitude. She gets so mad sometimes. If anyone takes her food she says, HEY. It's mine. And then she ends up taking whatever else is on her tray and throwing it. HMMMMMM its gotta be the red hair. Wonder where she got that? She is cute and soooooo fun and such a ham. I have never had any of my kids at this age give such dirty looks.
