We're a team!

Have you every seen the Dora episode where they chant "We're a team!" Well it is one of Wild Mike and Princess' favorites. Princess even has given us each an appropriate character. Of coarse Dad loves this because he is Map, and Mom is Backpack, so Mom gets to carry Dad around! Seems I carry everything else in my purse so seems appropriate hehe.. Well over the past months things have been pretty crazy Dad and Mom often chant to the kids "We're a Team, We're a team" Instead of asking What did your father say? We're a team seems more effective as they quietly walk away. Swipers famous phrase "AWWW MAN" is a common phrase! It has made us laugh instead of cry many times :)
We have also made it a point to sneak in date nights when we could (thanks grandma) and late night cuddle times. A sweet friend reminded me of how important those times are and I am so thankful we have made time for them.
So for all the phone calls I have gotten lately, "What are you going to do with Q?" well we plan to keep trying... See we had a coaches meeting last night hehe And neither the backpack or map are ready to give up yet. You see as a backpack I am not done helping carry her burden and the map has a lot of directions to give her yet...
Thanks for loving emails and phone calls!! It really means a lot and we will keep you posted!

Rainbows..

On Wednesday nights I teach rainbows at church. The kids are 3, 4, & 5 years old. I love this age :) Well last night there were 5 kids. A little girl named Bailey had come for the first time, about half way through class she asked me, "Teacher is that your little girl ?" as she pointed at Princess. I said, "Yes, how did you know?". She said, "Because she looks like you!" Princess was closly listening she sighed and said, " Ahh yeah only I'm a little more brownish (great big smile)" How precious they are!!!

School anyone...

Yesterday we had appointments at Children's Hospital (draining) The kids look good and we are left with 3 choices for S's treatment plan.

But the highlight of our day was visiting COSTCO... Yes drum roll please!!! Costco has opened in WI. So any trip to Milwaukee will be blessed by a stop at Costco :) Guess we do not need to move after all Costco came to us hehe...

Q seemed to be doing ok yesterday... Oh yeah she was with my sister all day.. hehe She is doing alright. Each day is a new adventure. A new high and a new low..

I have not been feeling well either.. Is it stress?? Don't think so but will keep you posted... Good news I do have a brain ( I now have a picture of it !! :) But it did not determine how many brain cells I am actually using hehe ..

I am so tired lately.. A mama of 6 can't be tired because....
that is when they (I) put the milk in the cupboard, the toilet paper in the fridge, try to change the 4 year olds diaper (yeah she has not worn diapers in over 2 years...)
