Zip-Ties Are My Friend

Now that the triplets are way to mobile - i have discovered my new best friend...ZIP-TIES they are great!! I zip-tied the wine cabinet shut at first. But then they discovered how to knock over the wall mounted gate - so I then used zip-ties to gate the super-yard gate to the wall mounted gate...I am quite handy aren't I!! Good thing they have a huge container of zip-ties, I think I'll be using a lot of them in the near future!!

I have a LONG weekend this weekend! I took monday off so I can spend an extra day in Camano!! Ashli & her family are visiting, so that's fun. Oh and I got to see the new car, very fancy ... i likey-likey!!

Have a fantastic Saturday...talk to you later!

So the myth is true...the washing machine really does eat socks...and the washing machine repairman proved it to me today when he came to fix Kim's washing machine after I broke it last monday!! Turns out little baby socks (and they have lots of them!) can easily get stuck in some vent and eventually clog the machine. Who knew

In other news (lol this is like my very own news show ). Amy found out on Monday that she is prego again!! Camryn is going to be a big sister!! Amy's due-date is about March 29, 2009 - but she will most likely deliver in April since Camryn was almost a week late!! It's really cool that both Camryn & Maddie will get to be big sisters together Oh and Jaime is 14 weeks today!!!

Okay so my dear scrapping friend Carrie has been harrassing me for a long time to leave SA and move to her new message board (www.scrapshanty.com). Well with all the chaos going on with SA right now - I finally caved and am posting over there! Carrie even agreed (okay she basically begged me ) to let me play my reality tv show games on ScrapShanty!! It is amazing how many of my 'friends' are already on that site!! It's pretty cool to reconnect with some of these ladies! Gotta love scrapbooking!!

Thursday tomorrow - yippee!!

Watching the Mariners game right now. The Mariners are hosting the Boston Red Sox...and it is sooooo sad for me to watch the game and hear MORE BOSTON fans cheering then Mariners!! What is up with that!! You look in the crowd and the majority is wearing red. That is just sad!! What's so great about the Red Sox anyway......

I have to say how amazed I am with the Seattle fans. Even though we suck (don't get me started about this one!), they stadium is almost always at least 3/4 of the way filled each night. We are awful and yet we continue to come out and support them.

Wonder where all those people are tonight ... COME ON PEOPLE!!

Nancy Drew & Laundry...Fun Sunday!

Alex got the new Nancy Drew Mystery computer game on Friday night and Erin & I have spent all weekend trying to beat it...still can't. I have never beat a Nancy Drew game (and there are like 15 of them). Alex & Erin have beat all but 2...so I'm determined to finish at least this one!! They are fun...and really addicting! Erin left so I guess I'm doing playing for the day...could play another one I suppose

This afternoon I decided to make a run to the laundrymat. Yes, we own a washer and dryer but because I LOATHE doing laundry so much I had tons to do and knew I'd never get it done at home. So I bribed Erin with Ixtapa (went 2x today ) and dragged her with me to do my laundry. It cost me $20 (well spent I must add) and now ALL my laundry is clean and just needs to be put away

We had a record number of nursery kids today...13...with only 4 adults. Definitely a crazy day, but like always we survived and the time flew by! So I can't complain!

Okay...I better get my laundry put away before I get distracted!!

Amy & I went to a fantastic baseball game last night!! The Mariners beat the Cleveland Indians 8-2!! The M's had a grand slam (Ibanez) and a 3-run-homerun (Lopez), plus the Indians walked in a run! GREAT GAME!! We had beautiful weather, lots of fun and great food!! Fun evening! Thanks Amy f& Walt for the ticket!! Oh and sorry for bending my ticket

Today my mom, Alex, Troya & I went to Oasis. I got a pedicure (pretty pink toes now) and a new set put on. So I feel 'human' again with my fingers all fixed and cleaned up!

Julia's life continues to have some bizarre but great turns!! Can't talk about it, but really cool stuff going on! Hopefully soon there will be news to share!!

Happy Saturday!

Well the first of the triplets fell into the pool today. Gabbi wasn't listening to Kim & I when we were out by the pool today and kept venturing closer and closer. We finally decided that since I was already sitting by the pool to let her see how far she'd go - she walked right in. She had barely touched the water when I quickly grabbed her by the leg and pulled her up. We assumed she'd be shocked and freaked by going under, but nope she started giggling right away and headed straight back to the pool . Guess that plan backfired on us!

Julia & Alec got their new SUV yesterday and GMC Yukon XL. It's white and I am sooooo jealous! Jealous that I didn't get to go with them to buy it (they took the other kids ) and that I don't get it. So sad! I am going up in a couple of weeks and can't wait to see it ... and then of course drive it

Erin came to hang out for a few hours and we went down to the park. Thanks for helping me wrangle the babies (who are getting way to mobile these days!).

Get to go to the Mariners game with Amy tomorrow night - yay!! I think we play Cleveland but am not 100% sure. Oh and the final All-Star score was AL 4 and the NL 3! The game was 4hrs and 50mins long it ended at almost 2am EST - crazy - it did go into 15 innings I think!!

Friday tomorrow, hoping for another nice day!!

SWIMMING

Summer has finally hit Seattle and I AM LOVING IT! I love it HOT and it's finally getting to the point where I think it is hot enough (still could be a bit warmer, but I won't be to greedy!).

I spent the nice day swimming at work (a great perk of my job!). Jaime, Zak, Madison & Alex came over to swim with Sophie, myself & the triplets. The water was nice and warm today and we had a lot of fun swimming, jumping off the side catching the football, and climbing on eachother's shoulders (okay so after the babies went down for a nap!).

I took some pictures today of us swimming so check out our summer swimming pictures shortly!

Otherwise, I'm working late tonight. The babies have been down an hour and Sophie goes to bed in a few minutes! The new episode of Baby Borrowers starts in a few minutes too - so off to watch that!

Ciao!

I LOVE baseball and it's fun to have the All-Star game on tv tonight!! Ichiro is the Seattle Mariners player on the team, he started in right field so that's cool! This is the 79th All-Star Game and it is being played at Yankee Stadium. This is the 4th time in almost 80 years that Yankee Stadium has hosted the games. This is also the final season that the Yankees will play in that stadium. A bit of interesting facts

Alex & I are going to Zak & Jaime's tonight to spend the night. Jaime has a doctors appointment at 8:45am (yikes ). So we will watch Madison for a few hours tomorrow while they go. She is 13 weeks tomorrow - yay She is due January 22nd, but most likely will deliver a week early - so early January for my newest baby 'niece'! Go jaime Go!

Me....Accountant???

Ok don't panic, I'm not seriously going to let my 5 years of schooling to get to nursing school go to waste to become an accountant, but today I got a chance to do some...and it was really fun!! Kim needed helping sorting out her receipts and compiling them into an excel spreadsheet. I'm such a nerd and LOVE that type of things! So I happily sorted reciepts and entered them into word! My OCD had a field day with this project

Oh and the other exciting thing I did...okay not really exciting but big for me was i tried lamb. I don't like meat very much - let alone something 'gross' like lamb. But I gave it ago when Kim bought gyro's for us. It was surprisingly good, I actually enjoyed it!!

Okay, now back to my silly Mystery PI - the Vegas Heist game! Nerdy I know ...

Comments:
Erin: CORI!! What is she doing to you?? I won't even eat lamb. GET AWAY NOW!!
Julia: WOW - I can't even get you to eat crab! Lamb is the best......second to crab that is! ;)
