Are you like me?

Do you ever feel that you can't do anything really well. That is where I am in my life. I work and work at things and can never get things done to my satisfaction. I can work all day at cleaning my house and it still never looks like I want it to at the end of the day. I can do the dishes right after dinner and when I get up in the morning there is a pile of dishes sitting in the sink. I can work all week at the laundry and put everything away and yet I still have a certain little boy who says he has nothing to ware. I can work at weeding the garden and there is never enough time to get it all done to my satisfaction. Things are getting done, but just not quite good enough. Half of my problem is I have someone in my house (I don't know who) undoing everything I do. I folded all the washcloths the other day and someone unfolded them all. Sooo... I have updated the look of my blog hoping that it can look just a little bit more proffessional and give me and only me a little bit of satisfaction.

More spring things

James created this picture and it was sent to the Laurel arts center ( a comunity art center) It was on display with other kids art from his grade in the community
John was chosen to participate a district wide 5th grade song fest. Only 6 kids from his grade were chosen to participate. It was at a high school near Johnstown called Windber.
As you can see the snow got really high this year. We thought it would never end. We are so glad it got hot. We seem to have skipped spring.

Spring things

Jacob was recently in the musical Grease! He stole the show as the Teen Angel. He loved being in the play with his cousin Dylan Dively who played Danny Zuko. He sang and danced with girls and loved every minute of it. He did a great job in spite of the fact that his voice decided to change right after he got the part. We couldn't have been more poud of him. His younger brothers can't wait until they can be in the play with him.

Musical Practice

Jacob here, if you've been wondering about how MY life has been going, let me fill you in. My solo part in the musical "Grease" has been coming along very well. I play the "Teen Angel" and sing "Beauty School Dropout". At first when I got this part I thought It was going to be a train wreck, but I guess that song has been stuck in my head. Well, It's been a long time since I posted anything. The last 3 months have been pretty busy. Later.

James is the youngest of the boys and the quietest. He loves to read and has close to 200 AR points in school. His favorite t.v. show is Phineas and Ferb. His favorite food is my meatloaf. He loves the playstation and his brothers and sister. He has a quiet personality. We will all be having fun and I will notice all of a sudden that he is missing. 9 times out of 10 he is upstairs by himself watching t.v. , reading or playing by himself. He says the most profound and funniest things I've ever heard. When Kaitlynn was born I begged him to come to Walmart with me, he said no Kaitlynns your favorite now take her. He was very matter of fact with no jealousy. We love him for his sillyness and his down to earth attitude about life.
