New Teacher!!!

So after a long, very painful, conversation with Sydney. I have decided to try a new piano teacher. I think a lot of the frustration is that they don't like their teacher- she is a little crazy!! So I searched out a new one and they will start with her next week. Cross your fingers everyone and hope that it changes their point of view!!! At least the kids will know that I am listening and trying to make it better!

Piano Practice Blues!!

I am so tired of making the girls practice piano. It is like pulling teeth without anesthesia(did I spell that right). I know that they will appreciate this one day but they sure as heck don't appreciate it now!! I pay good money for these lessons and they cry, fuss, and find any way out of it that they can think of. So am I a mean mommy for making them practice or will this pay off in the long run. I am not sure if I have the patience. I am open for any advice on this subject!HELP!!!!

Papa Glen & Girls

This was a Daddy/Daughter Dance!

Sean was on his way home from Iraq but didn't make it for the dance so my dad went with the girls- they had a good time with their Papa Glen! I am thankful that my dad did this for them!

Apron!

This is the apron I made my sister for Christmas- i didn't use a pattern- just did what I thought was cute- thought I would post to share!!!

Shock Collar For Yoda!!

I love this shock collar we bought for Yoda! It has 5 levels of shock plus a beep. So the theory is that you beep first then shock- so in time all you have to do is beep and not shock. Yoda is already there- all I have to do is beep his collar and he runs to my side! I wish I could put this on my children- I know that would be cruel but it really is awesome. I wonder how long he will have to wear it? We are correcting his bad behavior right now but will use it to train to do some positive behavior later- like come and stuff like that. Yoda is a small dog and I only would shock him on the level 1 or 2 but I was in a rush the other day and just picked it up and shocked him for his behavior. Well he screamed like crazy- so I look down at the number and it was on 4- I felt pretty bad after that. The dog went and found Saxton for comfort- THAT IS CRAZY! I know he was scared if he was seeking out Saxton for protection.HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

CATSCAN!!!

Saxton had his catscan today. Sean came home from work- I made arrangements to be there. We talked to Saxton about it for a long time - trying to prepare him for it. We were thinking this would be traumatic--guess what--
HE LOVED IT!!!!
He was laughing- thought it was funny. The only problem with that is that he was suppose to be perfectly still so the tech came over and held him down- he still thought it was funny. We walked out the door and looked at each other and thought what did we fuss over that for?!>!>!
By the way he had a catscan because they think he had chronic sinuses- he may need surgery. The child has had several sinus infections in a row and has been on antibiotics for 3 weeks now and sounds like an avid smoker!! For those of you who don't know Saxton has had his tonsils and adnoids removed and has had two sets of ear tubes--I feel so sorry for him!! I honosetly think that it is his horrible allergies to blame for it all- that is just the opinion of a mother!!!
Peace out!!
