New Toothbrushes

The girls got new electric toothbrushes the other day and of course they had to get the same one. They actually look forward to it now with their matching WallE toothbrushes :)

I love you!!!!!

Another Wonderfully Busy Weekend......

We spent Friday night at a good friend's house (you know who you are :)) visiting and we watched the Zohan movie, gotta love Adam Sandler. The girls got to see the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua during the day on Saturday. Eva loved it, but Kayla doesn't really do that well at movies just yet! She likes it but only for a little while, it drives her crazy when the attention is not on her for that long! Then Saturday evening at Michelle's reception, and we got to see Kristin and Shayne too, they were our awesome bartenders for the evening. It was a very nice reception, and I'm very happy for Michelle. We went to church today and I tried to catch up on everything that I am behind on at home, laundry, homework, etc......that didn't work out so well. I pretty much hate laundry. We're going to work on picking out pumpkins and Halloween costumes this week, and I think we're going to a haunted house this weekend. We're also planning a party at my dad's on the 25th, I can't wait for that. Dad is doing good and we're planning on camping out at his house that weekend.

Eva's One of A Kind This Week!

Eva's One of A Kind this week at school meaning she gets special privileges all week like getting to be the line leader. The class also gets to learn all about her all week long. We worked on her poster this weekend. She had to answer a list of questions and here are some of her answers:

Favorite food - apples

Favorite thing about school - recess

Favorite book - my Bible

My Wish - That my mom would give me a baby BROTHER!!!

That was a surprise to me! But it's probably because they love baby Shane and Rachel & Heather just got a new baby brother :) Also, Kayla starts her first day of dance class tomorrow!! Here's a picture of her in her little dance tutu, Eva turned on the music as soon as I put it on her and we had a little dance party to celebrate. I'm so glad her cast is off and her leg is ready, and Eva has been so excited for Kayla to dance with her. They will go on the same day but in different classes, it will be fun tomorrow. I should also mention that Kayla is potty-training this week, there's a pull-up under that tutu! She's so close to actually making it to the potty on time, it won't be long and she'll be wearing her big girl underwear (I have said big girl about 100 times over the last week, big girl potty, big girl underwear, big girl poo poos, it's so funny)

$700 Billion Economic Bailout Package

The big breaking news everyday is the economic bailout package. I think Americans are going through and about to go through things in the next few years that are going to make history. Whether it's good or bad, we're still going through exciting times and I love trying to keep up with what's going on with the presidential election and the economy and my fantasy football team :) :) Suze Orman is wonderful at explaining why we are in a financial crisis, we collectively borrowed too much and we can't pay it back. That is why we need the bailout. Here is a portion of an interesting article I read this morning:

"The government bailout of in-the-red U.S. businesses does not come without a price tag for taxpayers"
The financial pinch on taxpayers will begin to sting a little next year. "That's when they'll really have to come up with the money for it," said Roy Long, a Thomasville certified public accountant. How much the bite will hurt taxpayers will be dependent upon who takes national office in January and which political party controls the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate, Long explained. Mike Ryan, a Thomas University adjunct economics professor, compared the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, or bailout, to a company selling bad debts to a collection agency.
"If you want to do something for the economy, go to work. Go to work and work hard. Don't worry about the economy," Ryan said.
People who lost money in investments during the recent money turmoil need not expect to take the losses off 2009 federal income taxes. "Unless you sell, you do not incur a loss," Long said.
He said Americans should not panic. "People who panic lose," Long explained.
His advice: Sit back, and be patient.
