We really did get hammered last night by the wet wintery stuff. Our van is currently stuck in the driveway, and the guy that plows for us said "I"ll try to get there tonight, if you're sleeping, I'll leave the bill in the door." The girls, of course, are excited. All except Meghen that is. Tomorrow was her first ever scheduled choir concert.

Of course, these days, just about the only thing that 'hits' this site are perverts searching for "girls in the tub", but never mind that.

The last two weeks we have had nothing going on at all, no appointments, no classes, no running around. It's just been the 5 of us hanging out.

Actually, there is just under a month of summer vacation left. It always seems to fly by. The fall, while my favorite season, is always so hard because the girls go back to school and I miss them!

Last year there wasn't a camp director, but a very active GS leader and SUM took over the camp and opened it back up this year. So far the girls are having a fantastic time!

I'm not even going to mention the gap in posting, because we all know that it has gone on way too long. After spending some time reading through the older posts I have decided that blogging is useful and interesting though, so I am going to go back to it.
Abbie has nasty cold right now, she's feeling very yucky - congested and coughing. Next week is her Thanksgiving Day feast at school and she Angie Pangienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423367.post-1073235369646164242004-01-04T11:56:00.000-05:002004-01-04T11:57:20.110-05:00Well, it looks like we're done with the Holidays! Tomorrow both Bob and the girls return to work and school and I will return to the taxi business. We'll be starting back with a bang, as we have something going on each evening this week!
We had a very good Christmas and New Years, Grandma Marilyn and Salah came up and visited for a few days over Christmas and everyone was very sad to see her Angie Pangienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423367.post-1070853126988821752003-12-07T22:12:00.000-05:002003-12-07T22:12:50.000-05:00We put up the Christmas tree today, or rather, Bob and the girls put up the tree. I hate that I'm such a scrooge, but it always puts my in a foul mood when the tree comes out and that corny music starts to play . . .
However, the girls had a great time! Abbie keeps saying how pretty the tree is. They all loved putting up the ornaments and Abbie got the honor of placing the star this year.

Meghen is still in Indiana, although she comes home today. I'm braced and ready for the onslaught of brattiness that always hits us when she returns home from trips. I've also been working hard on cleaning out her room and she will be none too happy to find many of her "things" gone. It had to be done, that room was unreal!

We got an early start in the village of Linwood last night. Our kids and some friends were the only ones out on the streets for nearly half an hour after we arrived, We managed to do two full streets in just over an hour and a half; in years past, we've been lucky to do one street in two hours!

The other night at Girl Scouts some of the girls were doing the "Hustle". Ellie asked me "What's the Hustle?" and I told her it was a dance. A few minutes later she came over and asked me "Is the Hustle like the Hokey Pokey?".

Another month has passed without me blogging. For shame! *sigh* Life here is so hectic (and stressful) I look at the list of things to do in the morning and think, yes, I'll blog, just not *right now*. O.k., I really must try to do better!
Let's see, we'll start at the top. Meghen is doing fairly well in the 4th grade at Handley.

That's what my kids will say when they hear it's been nearly a full month since I've posted to their blog. So much has happened, there is no way I can fully recap!
Abbie has turned three, started using the potty all of the time and started preschool on the 8th of September (her birthday).

Is that a school bell I hear?
Meg's first day of school was yesterday, today is her first full day. Ellie starts tomorrow with a half day. Everything is going fairly smoothly so far. Meg's teacher, Mrs. Nicholl seems great. Dynamic and fun - she's from Texas and has a twang. Sounds like she's been at the school for several years.

Yesterday was Meghen's surgery. She was so brave. Never shed even one tear, she was a bit nervous, but she was a real trooper. She was rather comical in recovery. She had no inhabitions, she was just talking! For those of you (and most of you do) who know Meghen, you know she doesn't really do that. It was great. The procedure went fantastic.

O.k., so what a trip! We had an amazing time, no one was ready to head back - and that's usually not the way it is. Normally, at the end of an Indy trip we are all zapped and ready to get back into our own beds. We visited the Children's Museum (see July 23), Indianapolis Zoo, made several trips downtown and just hung out and had a good ol' time.

On the way out of there I stopped at the gift shop to purchase each of the girls a small souvenir. As we were leaving Ellie asked what I got for her and at the same time Meg said "What's that?" I answered them in rapid fire. "A change purse. A trashcan." Ellie started to cry and then bawled because she didn't like her gift.

We're all packed and ready to head out in the a.m. The girls were so geeked they took an hour and half to fall asleep tonight. We've even got the bikes on our new bike rack and Bob took the van out for a spin to make sure it's all secure (no problem, everything was fine).

We all have missed her, and I keep thinking I've forgotten something!
Yesterday while goofing around Abbie and I were playing "What animal are you?" - basically you just ask "Are you a *insert animal name here*?" and then giggle. That's the extent of our game.

Meg leaves tomorrow morning to go and spend a week with Grandma Marilyn. I'm a little nervous, and I know I'm going to miss her! She swears she won't miss us, especially her sisters. :) Today we will be packing and getting her ready to go.

We spent the morning running around. Meg's CAT scan was this a.m. and she did fine. She actually went in for the film by herself and I stayed in the waiting room with her sisters! She's getting so big. I did cancel her appointment for allergy testing on Thursday, because the 'numbing cream' they want her to use is $60! Maybe when we get back from vacation she can go.

This a.m. I took the girls to see the Spoon Man. It was great! The show is fantastic and I recommend it to anyone who ever has a chance to go and see him. Jim Cruise, the Spoonman, plays the spoons and puts on a funny, kid based show. Abbie had a blast, she danced and paid her full attention to the show.

I apologize for taking so long to update the girls blog, things have been hectic here, as usual. Not to mention everytime I try to sign on and make an update, the blogger site doesn't want to co-operate.

Today begins a week of Girl Scout Daycamp for Meghen. This is her second year of attendance and she liked it so much last year she was asking by Tuesday afternoon, "Can I go back next year?".

I cleaned and cleaned and it's much better, but we need some sand, a new cover and a few new sandbox toys. I'm guessing it will be a few more days before the girls are able to use it.

I agreed to care for some friend's of ours girls, Morgan and Taylor, while they are in Las Vegas. Life has been rather hectic! We picked them up Monday morning and they go home tomorrow afternoon.

So yesterday, Bob had had to work until 5 a.m. on Thursday night. It threw the whole day off, I guess, because he came home and slept until about 4 p.m. I took the two lil' girls out to run errands with me, so that he could sleep. They didn't get home until about 2 hours past thier nap time, which meant they didn't get up from nap until it was about dinner time.

This week has been really busy. So far . . .
Meg finished school for the year on Wednesday. Her grades were decent, with the exception of her penmanship grade. She actually has very nice penmanship, but a bad habit of not turning in the work which always lowers her grade. With her report card came the results from herAngie Pangienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423367.post-1055144021979861072003-06-09T03:33:00.000-04:002003-06-09T03:40:49.210-04:00Whoops, I double posted, that's what I get for working at 3:30 in the a.m.Angie Pangienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423367.post-1055143033306358762003-06-09T03:17:00.000-04:002003-06-09T03:41:51.780-04:00Recap of the Weekend This weekend was a long one. Bob & I were both very ill, it seems whatever virus attacked Meg and ended with her sinus infection may have worked it's way into our systems. While I know this is the girl's blog, it has majorly impacted what the girls did over the weekend, which wasn't a whole lot!
Saturday was my Daisy GS Troop's Bridging Ceremony.

Actually field day was scheduled for yesterday, but it rained most of the day so they postponed it til today - and it's beautiful here today! I hope she's having a good time and not wearing herself out, she has a pretty nasty cold and sinus infection going on.
Ellie's meds are definately not working the way we'd like them to. We took the girls toAngie Pangienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423367.post-1054771422079686712003-06-04T20:03:00.000-04:002003-06-04T20:06:06.026-04:00Zoo Pics are backYou can check out my favorites:

I made her go to school today, mainly because she's already missed so much school this year. Of course, her teacher called for me to go pick her up. She is staying home tomorrow and going to the doctor. I think she may have another sinus infection, which is the 4th time Angie Pangienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423367.post-1054472315893263902003-06-01T08:58:00.000-04:002003-06-01T09:20:44.556-04:00Abbie's First Movie, Improvement and PCAT
Yesterday we took the girls to see Finding Nemo. Abbie did very well, considering it was her first movie. At just 2 1/2 years old she sat pretty well through the first hour and twenty minutes, at the end she started to fidget and got out of her seat quite a bit, but for a children's movie it is a little longer than most. The movie was very good and Angie Pangienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423367.post-1054342499277063102003-05-30T20:54:00.000-04:002003-05-30T20:57:12.090-04:00A Field Trip, From the Mouths of Babes and a Tough Couple of Days
Meg took her end of the year class trip to Kellogg's Cereal City yesterday. It isn't the first time she's been there, as in Michigan it's a fairly big attraction for these type of outings. I'm thinking she went last year with Girl Scouts. Anyhow, she didn't seem to have too great of a time - it was an educational trip and she Angie Pangienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423367.post-1054309018030355182003-05-30T11:36:00.000-04:002003-05-30T11:38:40.296-04:00O.k., I've made a couple of changes to the template in hopes to correct the viewing problems that everyone has been complaining about. I'm sorry that it's wasn't working the way I wanted it to when I initially emailed everyone, but hopefully this will correct the problem. I like the other template better, but this one will probably work a little better.Angie Pangienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423367.post-1054231641056146552003-05-29T14:07:00.000-04:002003-05-29T14:07:21.063-04:00O.k., here are my favorites from the grad pictures . . .

Dr. Lisa, her orthodontist said that her molars have finally moved into place. In the first week of August we go back and they will remove the appliance she has in now, a pendulum (sp?), and will replace it with the next appliance, an RME, which we will 'crank' with a key to spread her jaw out (towards the ears).

Yesterday (Memorial Day) we took the girls to the Saginaw Zoo and a good time was had by all. Meg was a little moody and whiny, but I think she still had a good time. The River Otters were great, they're so playful and fun to watch! Abbie had a blast feeding the goats and she kept calling "Here goatie, goatie, goatie.".

Bob was sitting on the couch with Abigail tonight, right before bed and she was telling him about a birthday party she went to on May 10th, over 2 weeks ago. She was telling him intense details - like what she played (pirates), that she was too scared to go in the big pool, and that Jayden (one of the little girls at the party) hurt her chin. Which is pretty impressive, I Angie Pangienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423367.post-1053807182969985072003-05-24T16:13:00.000-04:002003-05-24T16:17:40.110-04:00The Day Started with a Tragedy
This morning when I got up I started getting the girls rounded up so that we could run a few errands and be home before 9 a.m., unfortunately, as I was pulling the phone out of Abigail's hand for the umpteenth time, I noticed that Spot was not looking so good. As a matter of fact, he looked pretty much dead. Everyone has handled it pretty well, even Meg, as it wasAngie Pangienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423367.post-1053806481217335212003-05-24T16:01:00.000-04:002003-05-24T16:17:21.076-04:00Well, I got the not-so-original-ideal to blog for the girls from a lady who doesn't much like me (stupidly self-inflicted, I will admit) on one of email loops. She posted her kid's blog and I thought, "Hey, I ought to do that for the girls." So, here it goes!Angie Pangienoreply@blogger.com
