The day has finally come......

The day has finally come that we have started filling out an application for little miss Cianna.  I went and had a tour of Oak Harbor Christian School today and it was wonderful.  I had such a good feel as I walked through the building and I can't think of a better place for her to be.  The application/registration fee is $200.00 so after spending the afternoon filling out the application I am getting everything together.  I think I am in quite a bit of denial that she is old enough to go to kindergarten.  She is growing up so fast and is ready to spread her wings and fly. 
Went to the commissary today and was able to get food to fill the pantry and some extra treats for everyone.  It wasn't busy which always makes the trip nice.  Now comes a busy weekend of cleaning and studying for my test on Monday.  I need to pick up some new study habits because I am in 40 places at once and can never seem to concentrate. 
We thought that we might of had the Chicken Pox at our house so Arianna and I spent 2 hours in isolation the other day only to be ruled out as a bacterial rash so the antibiotics are working like a champ and clearing everything up.  So while we were miles away from everyone and stuck in a room with a TV luckily, Arianna and I had some fun with the camera.

It's just the girls.....

A busy week has started.  Had my first test of the quarter and I did okay but am beating myself up that I could have done better.  Had lunch today with my friend Nicole, it was nice to sit down and eat a meal without having to rush.  After sittng for about 1 hour at the pharmacy on base to get Arianna some medicine for her diaper rash we got home and have been playing a massive amount of catch up.  Last night was a great night, we got to skype with Tony 3 times and the girls even got to eat breakfast with him.  Now that our week is off to a running start I just have to find a way to keep up with everything going on.  Sounds like my coffee pot is going to be on a constant brew cycle.

Can our lives get any busier?

I started my 3rd quarter of full-time nursing school last week and have spent the weekend attempting to study for my first test on Monday.  The kids are going at a non-stop pace and keeping busy.  The girls are making lists of their favorite vegetables so that we can start planting them in our garden.  On top of work, school, Tony's deployment and household stuff...I am deciding to take on the new task of doing more stuff homemade and penny pinching in any way shape or form.  This is a new venture for me so I am trying to learn things and taking baby steps in the process.  I would love to be one of those people who buys groceries for a 99% savings but I am happy when I save 10.00 with the coupons. 
Our dogs are growing to the size of mini horses.  For those of you that don't know, we have a Rottweiler who Tony and I have had since we were dating and last year we added two English Mastiff puppies to our family.  They are all wonderful dogs and fit in perfectly with our family...bad behavior and all.   Besides them eating me out of house and home they are a joy to have around. 
If you have any tips for making things at home or any tips in general I would love to have them.  As for me...I guess I am off to finish cleaning and getting something planned for dinner.

The girls at the Museum of Flight

Tony is now deployed and has been for going on 6 months.  The girls and I are greatful for every chance that we get to talk to him on Skype or get the precious phone calls when the girls tattle on me for not making them dinner and taking them out to eat,
