So much to say so little space or time

Wow, can life ever get busy at times, and this is one of those times. I have tons of ideas, thoughts, and events to write about but have not found the time to sit and write it all out. So here is a very condensed version of what has gone on around here in the last week.

• Mackenzie went to the Lisbon Homecoming Dance, she was stunning.
• Reegan scored another touchdown - Cael handed her the ball.
• I have always wanted to see one kid give the ball to another and score, I was not there, I was watching Quincy.
  
• Quincy was as cute as ever playing flag football, his flags almost touch the ground, and I was half frozen watching.
• My friend Skeeter watched too, she is not the weather wimp I am.
• I am tired of workbooks and textbooks.
• I am one week into schooling outside the box and loving it.
• I have decided having 3 children 3 and under and 2 teenagers in the house is difficult at times.
  
• Carter threw a touchdown pass to the neighbor boy, it was sweet on many levels.
  
• Took a field trip to Naobi Zoo.
• Addy was funny playing soccer - no goal.
• I assisted in cooking for many children and some adults tonight; goulash, biscuits, and peaches.
• I am not a fan of cooking, and so serving in the kitchen is a perfect stretch for me.
• Dean is teaching junior high / high school boys.
  
• Cade had a bloody nose tonight.
  
• Kyler had a fake bloody nose for sympathy, and made me laugh.
• Jaycie still gets up almost every hour of the night.
  
• Kyler moved out of his crib and into the kid pile, I mean his own bed.
  
• Dean has been helping Dale with a sweet little addition he put on.
• I miss my blog.
• Been selling on EBAY trying to make some extra cash.
• Mackenzie made a surprise trip to Dubuque to see her friend Brandon run in a cross country meet.
  
• He is running in Cedar Rapids tomorrow afternoon, I am sure she will be there....more to this story to come.
  
• I really want 2 museum memberships, science station and history museum.
• Yesterday I told the kids that we live too far north for me to be saying "get off the dog".
  
• I super love my Leslie Sansone walking dvds, she makes me feel good about myself.
• Got 5 boxes of popcorn for free yesterday, coupons and sales rock.
• I had a cold that was thinking of taking me out, but I fought back and got over it quick.
• Reegan and Addy have been playing a ton with pretend horses; feeding, caring, and riding. Even though these are not real, there is a lot of real learning going on.
  
• Cael was the planner of an in house carnival, Quincy, Addy, and Reegan helped. Again, lots of learning happening.
• I wish I had a few days to do nothing but read.
  
• I have spent a lot of time in observation lately.
• God is so very very good, all the time.
