This week was Spring Break for the kids and we did alot of Noah's favorite activity....absolutely nothing. He really just likes to veg at home and play Wii and Toon town or Webkinz. While I tried to overcome my crazy headaches the first half of the week we just stayed home. Tuesday my friend Erin invited us to see the Chipmunks at the $1 theatre. The kids absolutely loved it which inspired the dance party depicted below:

We still like to Move It, Move IT!!!

Please try to block out Noah's incessant screaming in the background of the next video.

He was sitting in time-out because he refused to say "I am sorry" for accidently hitting Destiny in stomach with his elbow. He was allowed to get up at any time as long as he grunted a simple sorry in her direction but absolutely refused to do so.....for at least 30 minutes. During this time he tried to say anything but "sorry" to get out including....I am going to make a big mess and you are going to have to clean it up.....You are not going to be able to adopt any more children because I am going to tell the people that you made me sit in time out.....You are the meanest mommy ever......I am going to tell daddy you are so mean and he is going to put you in time out....You are so mean......You don't have to say sorry for accidently elbowing someone in the stomach...etc.

Finally he gave in when he realized that none of the above statements bothered me and I would not give in to his emotional badgering and he wrote a note saying "Sorry" to Destiny (because he absolutely refused to let those words come out of his mouth for this particular situation).....Oh the joys of parenthood. The biggest issue is that he is way too much like I was at that age... stubborn...stubborn...stubborn....oh yeah and he know it ALL. Now I get to psychoanalyze myself to figure out how to deal with a little me.

So He is much better now with smiles, hugs, and I love yous freely flowing. Later after he settled down I asked if he still wanted another little sister he said that he did...he was just mad. Carter then exclaimed that he wanted 2 more sisters (shocking! I know).

To finish off Spring Break I took 5 children to the Shot Clinic to finish thier last round of Hep A and Wubitu's 2nd round of shots. They were very quick the last time Wubitu went in (20 minutes) Unfortunately they were apparently overwhelmed by the number in our party and kept sending people who arrived behind us through so we spent 3 agonizing hours there. Interestingly enough the kids were begging for thier shots by then so they could just go home!!! Carter got angry because Wubitu got to go first, Noah freaked out after he saw the drop of blood from Carter's shot and we had a 10 minute stand off before he gave in. Destiny was actually very compliant this time and Landon was in his own little world. With aching arms and legs, I treated them all to McDonalds which lifted thier spirits.

Friday night, Wubitu sang us a sweet (Ethiopian we think) lulliby


The Ethiopian Restaurant in our hometown opened on Saturday! We all enjoyed some yummy injera after Noah's soccer game!

Carter found a great way to hide his carrots!

And Wubitu thought it was a GREAT IDEA!!!!

Okay, Okay someone take my Digital Camera away!!!!
