HOCKEY NIGHT

SORRY IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE OUR LAST POST :( LIFE HAS BEEN CRAZY.....
With that said we will tell you what an exciting night we had tonight. While driving to work today Mommy won tickets to go see an hockey game. So this evening Mommy picked us up and we went out to Omaha to watch the Knights!!!. We went out to eat at Spagheti Works before the game yummmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyy :) Then headed for a night of action on the ice. Sadly the action was not for "our" team and the Knights lost 0-5 but it was still fun to watch!! Big Brother has decided that he has a second favorite sport now.. hehe

FAMILY GAME NIGHT

Here at the Deuel's house we try to play a game everynight. Mommy thinks the benifits of sitting down at the table and playing a game together are limitless. It is an oppertunity to talk about your day, share experances and to learn many lessons about rules, order, taking turns ect... But most importantly it is FUN!!!!!
So we have added another sidebar item to the blog. FAMILY FUN NIGHT games will be posted and who picked the game. We rotate though the five of us as to who's game will be played that night.

TO DO LISTS

Thirteen Things about 5DEUELS Any of you that know Mommy knows that she LOVES lists! It doesn't matter what the occation she will make a list for it. Everyday she makes a "to clean" list. And at the end of the day what ever is done on the list she puts a line though (most ends of the days do not have many lines.... but hey the list is still done). Buy doing this one can feel as if they have acomplished big things that day. So on Thursday, while thinking what 13 things to list about Mommy glanced at the "to clean list" she counted the items and ...... 1. Truck/car 2. Mudroom 3. Kitchen 4. Livingroom 5. Mommy room 6. Bathroom 7. Baby Brother room 8. Big Brother room 9. Sister Room 10. Laundry 11. Cat / shower 12. Computer room 13. Yard Can you believe it for all of these years Mommy has had a 13 everyday :) :) :) Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!)

SO MUCH FOR 4:30 ALARM

All mommy has to say is YES!!!! As most of you know Big Brother has been throwing a paper route for the last month for a family friend, while she was away. But what people forget is that someone needs to do the paper route with him.... MOMMY :) So during our Christmas break there was no sleeping in... pfffffff BUT the friend came over last night and paid Big Brother for all of his hard work and "now he is the richest kid in america".... not bad for one month of work! Mommy is very proud of him. Not one morning did she have to arrgue with him to get up (he is an early bird anyway) Most of the arrgueing happened before she got out of bed with the alarm ... hehe. But while the friend was here she asked Big Brother if he would mind doing it agian for the entire month of March.... so we will be back at it then. But until then all mommy has to say is WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO.

FRIDAY NIGHT FROLIC

As most of you know our family is more then the 5 of us. We have two other families that are an extention of us. We get together with one or the other of them often but not very often do all 14 of us gather! Well last night was the exception to the norm. ALL 14 of us gathered at the Deuels for a little fun.

DEUEL KIDS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't have time to post this last night so i am doing it today :)
Yesterday was a very long day for mommy. Big Brother is throwing a paper route.... so it is up at 4:30 every morning! Then mommy worked until 5:30 in the evening, in a small town about an hour from home. On her way home she missed the turn (and didn't know it) so her hour drive home was more like 3 hours..... pfffffffffffffff So she finally got home at 8:30 in the evening. And when she got home the house was CLEAN! Dinner was MADE! Table was set with fresh baked gingerbread cookies (they don't know that she loath gingerbread cookies) And everyone was waiting for her to eat!!!! So pray was said about her safe drive home and she added a pray about having wonderful children. In her silverware ring was a certificate (see picture) from baby brother. Man does he know the way to his mommy's heart!! Blokus, massage and hot bath!!
She tried blokus but it was still down :( The massage felt wonderful and the hot bath was perfect just before bed!
