This week started out on a really stinky note (and I am not just trying to find words) The stinkbugs overtook my house this week. This situation took a separate blog which I have already written. Check it out if you didn't get a chance. On a brighter note, they seemed to have calmed down at this point. I am hoping that it isn't just the cold and that I seriously made a difference in getting rid of them.
I had my second Zumba class this week and I still feel good. Can you imagine burning 1,000 calories in 1 hour and feeling this good afterward? What a rush just thinking about it!
Kaplyn and I had to make a trip to the dentist this week to get cavities filled. It was Kaplyn's very first one and she did great! The dentist noticed her arm of silly bands and gave her one shaped like a tooth! I had one cavity to get filled (only by 3rd my whole life) Boy, was that an adventure! I had 4 of my 6 kids in the room with me. Somehow it just interested all of them to see Mommy in the dental chair. I was hoping the numbing was minimal since Cameron's Middle School Open House was that day. I didn't want to sound funny speaking with his teachers for the first time.

Pink!!! Being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we donned our pink for 2 football games. You kind of got used to not seeing anything, but pink! Now I know how my sister Gina feels everyday....she is a Radiology Tech on the Bonnie Bus for Mammograms.
Nice weather! Reiner was a real character during the warm weather this week.
The Middle School Open House went great. Cameron is doing well as usual. He loves school and is a very good listener. It pretty much comes natural to our little scholar. His favorite classes this year are Tech and Social Studies. He made a bridge in Tech and has learned how to make floor plans for houses. What an exciting class that I kind of wish we would have had when I was younger!
Friday night was the big Homecoming Game! Kaplyn and my squad got to cheer along with the other squads and high school cheerleaders. The night was declared "Pink Night" for Breast Cancer Awareness so the older cheerleaders were shaking their bright pink pom-poms while wearing their pink t-shirts. The crowd was a mass of pink! My girls and the other squads wore pink awareness ribbons in their hair along with a pin on their uniform, thanks to one of the cheer moms of an older squad (Thanks Dara!) It was a really nice night beginning with seeing one of my tiniest cheerleaders all dressed in her gorgeous gold gown and heels as "Flower Girl" on the Homecoming Court. After the queen was chosen, all the cheerleaders lined up to watch the football players, grades K-12, breakthrough a huge sign to begin the game. The marching band and alumni band played during the game. The concession stand was chaos! Good luck getting a hot dog...and just forget about the walking tacos, they were long gone! My boys got a chance to walk around with their friends while I coached and then Kaplyn and I enjoyed the game after we were finished. It was a big bulldog victory!
Kaplyn cheered at Bentworth on Saturday. This was the tiniest field we have played on yet! What a game!! We were neck and neck the whole time. The only issue at half time was having trouble with the CD player cutting off right in the middle of the routine (I think the batteries went dead) The Bentworth coaches were gracious enough to let me use theirs and the girls did well restarting the routine. Some of my girls thought that we had lost the game 14-12, but we still had 43 seconds left and it was any ones game. Touchdown, bulldogs!! Onto the playoffs for Beth-Center :)
Like, but Don't Like
Nutrimigen Lipil Formula. I have one leg on each side of the fence on this stuff. I found about 12 cans for 44 cents each in a Clearance buggy at Giant Eagle. I was so tickled to find these since formula is usually around $5.49 per can. The upside...it has helped Matlyn's digestive system quite a bit. The downside...it makes her smell like a sack of old potatoes. What a strange smell to this formula!!
I went consignment shopping on Friday. Cameron is growing like a week and I need to get him some new shorts/jeans. Check out some of our finds!
I love this seat! I actually had one of these on Brandis' wish list when he was younger. It gives a place for a baby who is not ready to sit up on their own...a place to sit up :) Saw them at Walmart for around 34.95. Definitely did not want to pay that price. Scored it at Yesterday's Treasures Consignment for $4.50!!
Matlyn loves it!
Reiner found these shark head goggles for 50 cents!
