July 8

So today was a long day, Alek was finally feeling better and Lacie was tortured by me for hours trying on the clothes we just got her and the clothes we are deciding to sell, it took 3 hours. By the end i had to bribe her with ice cream but she did it all and she was a champ...
Here is one of the outfits that have to go, its already getting small it will never last to this winter:


Then it seems like i spend 90% of every day on the computer, doing an oddity of a million things..

Looking for ferry tickets to Alaska..


Emailing friends and family and updating pictures for Ben on MySpace:


Talking to Ben online:



and a million other things like selling clothes, buying a TON of winter stuff, researching Alaska....but at least i do still get some stuff in the mail like these broachers on Alaska:



Soon it was time for dinner........ homemade Mac and Cheese, yum yum..but the thing that got me was the many funny faces the kids were making, i was cracking up...wish Ben could have been here to see it:



and we ended the day with one of our favorite shows, So you think you can dance...I love it cause the kiddos always try to dance around the living room....this was Lacie's favorite couple tonight....



As i am putting up this blog i here a loud scratching noise from the kitchen, as i go in to see whats going on........i see this:


Yes that is Alek stealing food from the stove, he pushed Lacie's chair over to the stove....as i call his name to yell at him and tell him that it is a danger zone he turns to me and say's "mommy i soooo hungery!!" what a brat, lmao:
