. Its tough when a grandparent the kids don't see very often spoils them and then treats their mom like poop 
It is really tough when we don't see either side of the family very often. My kids become different creatures.
. I didn't utter a word b/c every time I've taken the older three, its been stressful and not fun. The kids did quite well and I had to tell DS to show his "nice" smile. 
TJ had no interest in getting his pictures taken. He kept wanting to wander off.
sHE'S fine its my nerves that are frazzled. She likes taking the kids out and about all day and that drives me to the point of being
its nice that she wants to spend time with them and get them things. Have you tried joking saying wheres mine
We took the kids to get their photos taken.
where did you get them doneI tell you, going out with four kids and grandma is quite an ordeal.
how are you?
that will show her 
I don't play well it is embarassing
She gave $20. bucks to the kids at Target and said, get what you want. I was like 
. She bought me a very pretty shower curtain. 
luckily his friend was nice and didn't laugh at me 
She's bought me some stuff too
She does really like being with the kids, doing, and going places with them. We're going to go to CEC to have a belated birthday bash for K and she some time next week. We're working on getting all our painting supplies gathered. We're going to paint the sunroom/family room, and two bathrooms.
Some of the pics did turn out really nice. We went to Penney's b/c my sil said we should go there. Well, we got trapped into buying the photo membership card or else we would've had to pay $10.00 per kid for a sitting fee. She didn't tell us that until the very end. Niiiiiiice....notDid they turn out cute
Im ok tired today. P is trying to get me interested in golf so last weekend he bought me some clubs and tonight he wants to go play I am
. So, I told mil that I'd split the cost of the 14 pc. photo package. ). She gets two and I get two.

Yes, a sage-y green for the family room, a buttery cream for the lower small bathroom, and a weird light teal for the kids bathroom. I'll try and find a photo to show you the shower curtain (from Target of course). I did pick up some samples for my front door that needs repainting too.have you decided on any paint colors yet
I need to look at your ticker.

Do we get to see before and after pictures 
ODf, its been a couple days, did your ticker move?
We're to get tropical effects from Ike here 3 inches or more of rain over the weekend possibly through Monday.
I'll try to remember to do so.That works
We will see how the golf thing goes
No I haven't updated it since Monday I "weigh in" on Mondays
Yikes that is alot of rain.....do you live in Oregon
That's what I was going to ask you... do you get that much rain that short of time? The kids are taking turns digging under the house so that water won't go over our own flood wall. Even with the sump pump running like crazy, we've had flooding.
please
Now, I'll do my best to try and remember to take pictures. B will be off all next week so we 're planning how we're going to set things up etc. B bought a new vanity light for the kids bathroom and he wants to replace the sink facuets. Dang, had I known he'd do that we'd painted a long time ago!
