Spiders

I wonder what my youngest son saw in his room. He freaked out over a fly on the ceiling and thank God that when I threw up my slipper the fly decided to stay and die. he was a good fly but his life was cut short by a slipper. Then after I tucked them into bed (Alek and David) David started to cry and yell about spiders, he came out and was really upset about spiders and I asked him to show me the spiders he kept pointing to the ceiling and I said there is no spiders there I checked under the beds no spiders. The I tucked them in again and as soon as I got Viktoria into bed I heard Spiders. So I then went back in there and said that there are no spiders in there because they are in the garbage. "lets see" SO then I took David to the garbage and tried to show him some specs in the garbage that I called spiders. He wanted me to dig in the garbage and show him I said no way your stinky diapers are in there. So then I once again tucked them both into bed and I atleast got about 10 mins alone before yup you guessed it spiders. I then told David that there are no spiders in the room because the cats eat the spiders where he said I said that its in there tummy and then I tickled his tummy and he finally went to bed and so far so good no more spiders in his mind but Alek did say that he wanted to see the spiders in the morning you know mom the spiders that are in the garbage. Please God put some spiders (fake ones please) in my garbage just to pacify my 2 wonderful and fearful sons. I love them and I love my daughter. One year ago I thought I would loose my wonderful Alek, he had to be hospitalized for severe croup. It was the most scariest thing I have ever want to feel again. The worst of it was just sitting there and watching him trying to catch his breath waiting on the slow doctor Alek starting to panic and was just looking at us and wondering why weren't we helping. Finally the Respiratory Nurse God Bless him said screw it we have to do something or we will loose him. Hearing those words I almost had to leave the room but all I could do is smile at Alek and scream inside. But no more on the past he is fine and healthy and the jumpiest kid I know, and is so sweet. I love him and David and Vik and Brian sooooooooooooooooooooo Much It will never overflow. Now my husband hugs me more because I have always told him I like to hug (see ladies they do listen) My boys hug me all the time they really love the tight hugs. But I suppose I need to get my hugged body to bed. Love you all....... Stephanie Kay Chinquist

Gone again

Big news my husband is gone again this time he is going to Beaverlodge Alberta Canada that is 17 hours away. 959 miles one way. So no trick or treating for him and again I have to do it by my self. I did buy him a costume but I am returning it and Alek decided to be a cop and Viktoria decided to be Hanna Montana ( I really don't like her Hanna montana) So I have to return 3 costumes and that is ok I don't have the reciepts but I have to buy cat litter and cat food and bones for my dog. I will just trade out hopefully or get a gift card whatever. I am sad that he has to be gone but thats all right more money for our trip. Which is in 8 days WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO still no spa but that is ok I still get an hour massage and a pedicure. Maybe I will get my hair done too in Minneapolis who knows I am just excited to go to a big city that for the first 4 years of our marrige we went there almost every other weekend. It was great. I am excited to shop shop and more shop. To see the Michigan Wolverines kick the Minnestoa gophers butt, and to see the Vikings kick packers butt. I am excited that I don't have to make up my own bed (but I will) and that Kids eat free at the Holiday Inn. I will have to take pictures of everything oh boy I wish I had a better camera but one day soon. I will have to not write anything when I get back and just post pictures. Hey have you guessed that I am excited. My sister is taking care of my dog and so we are leaving on Thursday at 7:00 in the morning that means I have to get everybody up at 6:00 but they can sleep in the car if they want. I have a lot to do so I better get a head on it I am a bit of a procrastinator. OH well.

Decision time

Well yesterday I was in a horrible mood. I paid bills, well guess what I over spent again (it happens alot) So I had to cut down on my minimum payments on my Credit Cards, and then rearrange some other stuff. So today I am Chilaxin. Now if I was my husband I would feel stupid. He got paid 3 times in August and I wanted to pay off our credit cards that have small balances he said no lets pay a big amount on our big balances I said why. He said and I quote " that makes no sense to pay off our small bills when the big ones need the most attention" No way did he say that not to rag on men but STUPID he does not know, he does not pay the bills, he does not know he does not know. So my logic behind it was lets get the small ones out of the way so we can pay more on the big ones. when I asked him that over the phone it was really quiet so quiet I could hear crickets. Now I think back and I wonder if he thinks back and realize how stupid it was not to get some cards out of the way instead of still paying on them and the big balance ones. (big sign and I did roll my eyes) it still bothers me. Well ladies I have decided not to get the 6 hour spa, I am going to just get an hour and a pedicure, I know I am sad too but it will save us money and maybe I can guilt him into some stuff. I also think Brian gets paid again three times in January so I will not tell him what I am doing, when I pay off our credit cards. Well I know that I am going to vote next tuesday but still undecided. Time to go and eat. Blog more later.

The reason for Grounding

The reason why Viktoria is grounded until we get back from Minneapolis is because a couple of weeks ago she decieded to go over to her friends house and they were going to the International inn to swim and I told her well are you spending the night she said I don't know and well finally at 12:30 in the morning she called me and said yes she will spend the night. Ok I was just too tired to care, then I called her on Saturday morning and I had to go and pick up Brian who was in town for a couple of hours yippee anyways I asked if she wanted to go with us out to lunch and she said no I want to play but let her know when I get back (whose the mom here). So when I got back I called her and she said that she wanted to still play it was about 3:00 in the afternoon I said ok call me later. She called back at 6:00 and said that they wanted to go to the International inn and swim again I said well you better be back at 10:30 cuz my door locks at that time. She said ok. 10:30 came and went and then so did 12:00 at night and then I said @#$@#$!# it I am going to bed at 12:45 AM. Then morning came and she called home at 12:00 in the afternoon. I told her to get home and that I want her home right away. She came home and the night before Brian and I agreed that we have to put our foot down and stick to it so we came up with this punishment (for us). I told her what she had to do and of course she threw a big huge fit like she was 2 years old and someone took her toy. She had to clean her room in order for her to watch tv. She had to do her homework and barely talk to me that day. She can no longer go over to her friends house at night because she will not come home. (this is after she is done being grounded.) She can no longer spend the night there unless I have 2 days notice. If she breaks any rule she will be staying with her grandma and not going with us to Minneapolis. (This is why I need the 6 hour spa). Well that is why she got grounded and that is it.

Cupcake Photos

Here are the pics of the Cupcake party we ended up having even though my daughter is grounded until we get back from Minneapolis. When you get to the individual cupcake shots I don't know whose is whose but I do know that Aleks cupcake is not on there he decided to eat his before I could get a picture. Thats my boy.

Cupcake party.

I was courageous and had my daughter have the neighborhood girls over today for a cupcake party. It was just 4 (including Vik) and then I ended up with a total of 7 kids of course there were 2 of mine but the girls brothers came too. Which is all right due to the fact that if they did not come I would of have 48 cupcakes. Thank God! well I will post pics tomorrow I am exhausted. I had to clean this morning and then clean again when the party was over. I did rent 2 movies the Barbie and the castle movie and the golden compass. I made totinos pizza and that took the longest and David takes off his diaper just to try to look at his butt. (must be a man thing) Write later. Hey it is 23 more days until my 6 hour spa. Later ladies

My daughter finally took a good school picture

I just cannot believe that my daughter is in 3rd grade and I got her school pictures and they are good pics. I will right another blog later enjoy her picture

Im Excited

YIPPEE in one month I will be making a trip of the year, I am going to Minneapolis to see a gopher game and a Viking game. Yes I will be having a 6 hour spa OOOOOOOOH I am so excited to get pampered for 6 hours. Just so that I don't scare them I will shave my legs. I am so excited to sleep in a hotel and not have to worry about making the beds, cleaning the floor. (I do pick up if it is really messy) I do feel bad about leaving my dog with my sister. Thank you again sis for watching her. About the playstation we called and told a lie :( But they sent us a box and we are sending it back to get fixed if it can't get fixed they will give us a refurbished one. Anyways I am excited to goooooooooooooooo shopping at the mall of America. Oh and see Brians family out there. I am also excited cuz at the hotel the kids stay and eat for free in their resturant so we will be eating there alot but also at the Mall and Its Greek to me. THen I will come back home 50 lbs heavier but will be so relaxed after my 6 hour spa. Hey did I tell you guys that I get a 6 hour spa treatment, without children or husband hmm did I mention that to you guys. Well enough bragging. After it is done I will let you know how it went. Enjoy the nice temps cuz its gonna get cold time for the heat and lose more money. Since the Vikings won yesterday I am excited to see them play. I just hope they win then too, but you can't have it all since I am having a 6 hour spa that includes a 1 hour massage, a facial, lunch, Instant manicure treatment, a signature manicure, signature pedicure, hair cut and style, and a gift that is worth 50 dollars. I get alllllllllll that for 6 hours all for 250.00. That is great. Well time to eat Chat more with you later.
