Well today was very eventful. We started out slow but got moving by lunchtime.
Our first stop... CVS for passport photos. Yes that's right we are getting the photos done so we can order the kids books.
Stop 2... Work... Nothing big, the kids played, I painted and hung out.
Stop 3a... Jeremy called and I had to have him stop at home for the SS# and birth certificates.
Stop 3... Post office to order the books. Can Jeremy leave now, he has to go to work? Just a minute (It's now been 40 minutes into his 1 hour lunch)... sign here, here, and here. Ok he leaves.
Stop 3b... Still at the post office... the photos are the wrong size. Do you want to come back Saturday or Monday with corrected photos? (Can you see where this is going?) We pay for everything and make arrangments.
Stop 4... CVS... I need replacement photos... Ok... Retake pictures... Machine goes done... Reboot machine... 1 photo is good... Machine is SSSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWW! 45 minutes later we have the second set done and are out the door.
Stop 5... Home for dinner.... Wish this wasn't a preshow for the weekend!
Such is the life with 3 children! Never a dull moment and always somewhere to go!

PVC Camp Gear
I was looking for an outdoor wash station for the scouts today and came across this great site. I thought... this is GREAT, we can build this stuff, and store it easily. And the best part is it's lightweight so the girls can actually set up without help!
Here's the link to their site. Perfectly Versatile Campsite

back to scouts
I recently made a list of everything that they have done this year... it's a lot of service and program aide work! Every event we've tried to have with either the SU or council where they weren't working, has fallen through. The mall lockin was canceled. Kalahari they didn't want since it included boys (no leader for the lockin either) We've had 2 campouts but both were working camps no just having fun the whole time. Really the Wizard of Oz has been the only real for FUN only activity these girls have had all year.
I'm pushing them to go to hershey, PA this June for a camp-o-ree. It's 6 hours away, most of these girls haven't been more then 1/2 hour from home, but I really think that they'll have a great time! AM I nuts? We're talking on the ground tents and campfire cooking.
Oh and I'm really, really hoping that the other troop that our is level decide to come and join us and that we do get to go to this camp-o-ree. I think it would be a great way for the girls to hangout and have fun!!
The problem that I see... what do we do if the girls just won't go that far from home? I really don't want to do Cedar Point since it is so close to home. I wanted to get the girls out somewhere they hadn't been or was at least a full tank of gas in each direction. Any ideas? Oh and it has to be FUN!!

What a month!
Where to start... Lots of scout stuff, work stuff, family stuff.
The big news is my sister had her baby!! YAH!!! Both are healthy and doing well. So I now have a new baby neice!! Can't wait to meet her (hoping to make it to Germany this summer!!)
Let see... The foot is all better. She's now had 2 casts and 4 broken bones in 4 months.
It's cookie time again... Thankfully our troop drop down to only doing 5 booths this year. They've only sold about 75 cases but I'm not worried about it since we aren't planning any big trips like the junior troop.
Oh... LCCC caught on fire a few weeks ago. i think you can find some info at the following blog... http://evileyecafe.blogspot.com/
Last week we went to see the Wizard of Oz at the Lorain Palace. It was really good, Open Door School was putting it on. Next play in town is Grease, which I LOVE and can't wait to see how the high school does with it.
Little man turns 7 tomorrow. We're baking tonight.

I can't believe it's broken
Ok so Wednesday big A goes to dance class (moved from Monday for the holiday) and she comes home and decides to practice in her socks on our hardwood floor. BOOM, AAAHHHHGGGG!, sobbing... what's wrong? I run in and she's on the floor crying and can't walk. We move her to the couch and check it out. Not swelling, no bones sticking out. Ok so we ice it and send her to bed. Thursday she's walking, sort of, on it so we send her to school. She's still complaining after school so we schedule a doc appointment for Friday.
Still thinking it's a sprain I have her leave her stuff at school, we'd be back soon right? Nope... doc orders x-rays, and when the tech comes to talk to us she's got the travel envelope, oh no, I've been a bad mommy! Off to the ortho for a cast and 4 hours later we finally make it to the in-laws to get the rest of the kids. Ya we were at the doc offices for so long all her stuff is still at school, and my MIL had to get the kids for me.
So her cast is purple (love the color) they let her keep her toes open (originally they were going to cover them!). She's got to keep it on for 4 weeks. We had a scout program that night so I had to call the other adults that I was working with and let them know we'd be late. She decided that she wasn't going to let this stop her from going either since the program was inside.
A little cast never stopped anyone... Of course being that this is the second cast in 2 months... I'm wondering if she's going to take after her father and break a bone or 3 in every limb!
