Whats been going on?!?!

This past weekend was so nice, we stayed home and cleaned and relaxed preparing for my Grandma to get here. She will be in town about 2 1/2 weeks ( 1 week of which she will be spending at my sisters house over in Eastern MT).

I had to put away laundry and Kendall follows me everywhere so i set up a movie for her to watch with a couple snacks and she was pretty content to sit there and watch for a while.

Kendall has never been one to just sit and watch TV, if something catches her eye she will stop and watch for a minute but mostly she just runs around like crazy from the time she gets up until the time she goes to bed. The last couple of days she must have been a little tired though cause in the evenings she sat down and watched a couple cartoons on her little movie player she has.

Her favorite shows to watch are Blue's Clue's, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Elmo's World, Bear in the Big Blue House and Sponge bob. She also likes to watch football. Every Sunday during football season we go to the local sports restaurant with Jason and hang out and watch the games while we have lunch. She really enjoys it and she knows all the people who work there and walks around like she owns the place most of the time. 

She has actually been sleeping in until someone goes and wakes her up now. For the last few weeks she has been up at about 6am everyday and by that i also mean on Saturdays and Sundays too which was like torture. People who don't live in Montana don't realize that in the summer it starts getting light at 5am and doesn't start getting dark until about 9:30 in the evening. When you are trying to get a kid to sleep when its light outside is hard. Luckily I have noticed this week that it is starting to stay dark a little longer, which means that here pretty soon it is going to be really hard to wake up when it doesn't start getting light out until about 7:30am.

Next week Kendall leaves on Monday to go spend 6 days with my Sister at her house. She is going with my Grandma, Mom and by brothers GF Sarah. They are going to have so much fun. I wish i could go but since i would have to miss a whole week of work i cant go. 

We are still waiting to hear back about the house. We still have the verbal approval and are still waiting for them to do the paperwork side of things. It is annoying and i have gotten several messages from my Realtor saying they are making progress and have been hearing it more so in the last couple of weeks. I am hoping that something starts happening before summer is over. Its very frustrating having to wait this long and unless it is another screaming deal i will not try to buy another short sale house.

After a couple days of hardcore cardio, using My Fitness Pal and drinking lots of water to cleanse I have lost a couple of the pounds i gained back. With K being gone next week i am going to hit the gym hard and hopefully make some really good progress.

K has been having some serious tantrums lately. She sits in timeouts all the time and just has a huge attitude and when she isn't happy or mad she is sooo emotional. We have definitely been having a lot of power struggles between the 2 of us but the best thing for her is for me to stay consistent with her. I know its just a phase and she will get over it but some days it is just so hard to deal with when she wakes up in a terrible mood because she is going to be in that mood all day long.

I think we are now all caught up on whats been going on in our crazy world so far this summer. Happy Thursday friends!
