Alot of fun!

This week was busy! We had a lot going on, ok I was able to do a lot of fun things:) We started the week off by heading to the orthodontist for Miki. She no longer has a mouth full of plastic!! She is happy about the new appliance because there is more room in her mouth and we don't get after her to close her mouth all the time now when she eats. Miki is also excited that she can talk normal too! (I snapped this pic real quick....man she is beautiful!!!!)

Miki also had auditions for the dance team at her studio on Tuesday. We are crossing our fingers and hoping that she makes it again. It has been said that they are taking fewer this year and changing things up a little. She feels really good about her audition so no matter what we know she did her best!
Wednesday night Chad and I got a REAL date night! We didn't even go to the movies. Crazy huh! Our friend had a birthday and she likes to go to World's of Fun in Kansas City. We had so much fun riding all the rides and could not of asked for better weather. Some how we ended up doing a ride called Rip Cord. They take you up 180 feet and let you free fall. I have no idea why I didn't stop and think for 2 seconds and realize that I would be CRAZY to do this. I lived. I had fun. Don't need to do it again, for awhile:)

Thursday night I got to go down to Star Light Theatre and see 9 to 5. Chad gave me season tickets for the Broadway plays. I must say I am rather enjoying them. It was a fun play, I had good company, and I am looking forward to going again in 2 weeks for Guys and Dolls. I think I am hooked! It is nice to know that I have a night out every 2 weeks this summer. They really have good shows this season.
I had to be a mean mom and set down some solid rules with consequences this week. It is not that there hasn't been rules, but something had to change for my sanity. I am a big meany and only give 1 warning before they get to choose a job from the jar. I have got walls, windows, and mirrors washed. The car has been cleaned and the floors swept and mopped to name a few things. I am liking the extra jobs, kids not so much. It seems to really have helped and I am thinking it won't be long before the jobs become fewer and fewer. We haven't made it past the job on the list so something must be working. I am blessed to have good kids that really don't cause to much trouble.
