Simply Redheads: R.I.P.

or pieces, dear swingset. No more nose dives from the carpenter bees for the kids! Once we got home we found out the wood on the swingset was eaten by the ants and carpenter bees! So grandpa to the rescue! He came with his chainsaw and down it came, in a hundred pieces :(
Midget has a few good swinging years left in her, so she was sure to be promised a new swingset:)

Please ignore the blob of the slide as it's not so pretty deflated!
We all had fun this weekend at Monkey's friend's bday. They are so cute, and bicker like an old couple. His mom is actually the one who introduced me to my hubby, and so i love her to pieces. The boys are 3 weeks apart, and have been friends ever since.
The hulk!

Here are the twins, and midget is never far behind them. Monkey put his goggles on one, and she loved them:)

So i swear we don't ignore monkey, but he's been hanging at his friends house all the time i let him. I'm going to have to stalk him for some pics :) Here are some pics from midgets ballet class this week. She was in heaven, and is so excited to be back at her school. Not to mention, the girls in her class that wear toe shoes are so "cool".

Monkey had his test this morning for the AP classes, we should know tomorrow if he was accepted. He said the test was easy, so cross your fingers! We went and picked up the car, as they had the leather put in. My poor car has spent more time in the shop than in my driveway! So there is only one more trip to get the bumper finished after the drunk looney tune hit it, and we are done! But the leather seats look great. After we did that we went to get more school clothes. We had been talking about getting midgets ears pierced for a while, i'd told her it would hurt. She knew this, and was still begging. So i caved... Monkey was there and helped her be brave. And video taped it, the little booger... But i made sure we didn't end up with a one earing'ed girl. We had one on each side, and it was done! I was near tears for her, but she was scared, but did great. And she thinks it's the best thing ever! She called grammie in the car, she called grandma, ran to the neighbors, she's grinning ear to ear :) Sparkly ears at that :)
I was so ready to grab her and run! That face...
