I just complain so much about this but it really is fun.....I just don't know how you all find the time to do it. At night, I am so tired I just want to sit in front of the TV but during the day, I put Ellie down for a nap and then Kale starts asking "Mom, can I play a computer game"? I respond "not right now"........"Mom, now can I". This goes on for a while. We tried to hook up our old computer you know the bid tower and moniter with a keyboard! But we can't get it to work very well...probably because it has been sitting in our shed for the last couple of YEARS!! So all we have is our laptop that Kale plays on! Oh the joy.

Nate and I went to the temple last night. Our ward was in charge of the sealing this month each Tuesday night. We went as a bishopric (Nate is the 1st Councelor). The Bishops daughter watched our kids and I didn't think anything would go wrong. the Bishop brought her over because we all went together and I told her to put the kids down for bed at 7 pm. My kids are such great sleepers. I put them down and they are out within 10 minutes so I didn't think anything of it. We went out to dinner afterward so didn't get home until about 9:30. We walked in the house and I was expecting the babysitter to be sitting on the couch watching TV but the Tv was off and I could hear Kale's primary CD blasting downstairs. The babysitter walked around the corner to the bottom of the stairs and she looked like she was going to pull her hair out. I asked how it went she said Kale won't go to sleep. I could have died. The Bishop walked in with us because he always makes sure we don't pay his kids when we go to the temple and the first thing I thought was that she needed to be paid-with a huge tip. Kale was sitting on his bed with almost all his books scattered all over his bedroom floor and all his lights were on with his music really loud! Of course at bedtime I don't give in but how does the babysitter know!! He is at the age where he is trying to get away with what ever he can and oh did he walk all over the -babysitter! I went to Old Navy today to get her a gift card-I figure it's not cash so her dad can't say anything!!! I look back and man I hated babysitting!!!!
