Crazy Hair
A few weeks ago Tymber had crazy hair day at school. I am not sure she managed to pull the look off ;0) Pretty wild the girl can get that much volume from her hair.

Hunger Games
Because I am either stupid or crazy, or both, I took Autumn and Tymber to the midnight premier of the Hunger Games. I had absolutely no plans what-so-ever to go to the midnight show. In fact I was secretly congratulating myself when I told the girls' it was completely sold out and we would take them during spring break, after my parents were back from Arizona to watch Hope. Then Autumn's friend posted she had three extra tickets and the girls begged me to take them. I didn't have to work Friday so much to my dismay I said yes. I am such a pushover mom.
We got there and holy long line batman. It was so long, I couldn't believe it. I dropped the girls off and gave Autumn two tickets, then went and parked. Walked back (quite a ways) to them only to remember I left my ticket in the car (duh) went back got my ticket came back to find out Autumn had somehow lost Tymbers ticket.. Are you freaking kidding me? Oh my gosh I was so mad, we looked and of course couldn't find it. Donna, who I got tickets from, told me she thought they would let me in with the receipt. That was in my purse, back at the car, went back again got the receipt and figured I would ask even though I was doubtful. At this point I was ready to bag it, let the girls go with Donna and let her bring them home. About then the manager came out because some people were dressed up in costumes and had fake swords and a fake bow and arrow. Of course he wasn't going to let them in the show because they are still considered weapons. I was able to explain to him what happened show him the receipt and other two tickets and he said no problem, yippee! When we got to the door the kid taking tickets didn't even bother looking at them at all, he just ripped them and handed them back. Geesh anybody could have had any ticket to any type of show and gotten in.
I was really worried because I hate Twilight so bad and was afraid this would be another disappointment. We ended up in the second to front row because we were so late getting there. We checked all 10 theaters and front rows were all that was left. That really sucked super bad. There is a lot of action so much of it was a total blur. Plus it was midnight so tired anyways.
Honestly I was pleasantly surprised. The girl who plays Katniss, Jennifer Lawrence, did a really good job. I thought they cast everyone well. The movie stuck to the story super well. A few alterations but that is to be expected. It probably wasn't as in depth as it could have been because they have to leave so much out. I wonder if people who haven't read the book would have a hard time following the movie.
Overall I was pleased. I actually think we will go again because Rich wants to see it and I would rather see it further back. I would enjoy it more. Driving home at 3 A.M. I told Autumn I wouldn't do another midnight show, she agreed. Tymber doesn't have school on Fridays and Autumn only missed first hour. I got Hope off to school and went back to bed, but I am still pretty beat today.

just a girl and her puppies
The weather is warming up and the boys love to be outside. So does the cute little girl. I love watching Hope run and run with the puppies and play and play. This summer will be fun. Autumn and Tymber have been trying to leash train them (the pups not the cute girl) so we can walk on the greenbelt. It sure seems like they are growing fast, at the same time it is also hard to believe we have only had them 2.5 weeks. They are full of energy and get into so much trouble. The girls have quickly learned not to leave their things on the floor, especially shoes. We are working on potty training, I get frustrated sometimes, but really they are learning pretty quickly. With the weather changing it will be easier. They rough house and play really hard with each other, so we are also teaching them not to bite us, those puppy teeth hurt. They get pretty wild with Hope sometimes and hurt her.
Koda is such a fluff ball, he is all poof and fur. He reminds Rich and I a lot of our first dog Sasha. Neiko is a total mamas boy. He follows me everywhere. The girls become a little frustrated because they want the dogs to sleep with them but Neiko just refuses, he has to sleep on his blanket in my room on my side of the bed or he cries. Koda refuses to sleep without Neiko. I am so glad they are not spoiled (haha).

March 1st... Really?
I cannot believe today is March 1st. Crazy how fast time goes and the school year is flying. I am feeling better. Still stressed but not as bad. I am just taking one class this time so my school work is cut in half. Plus I took a week off, even though it flew by. I finished my last two classes with A's. I have to admit I am pretty proud of myself. My GPA is 3.63, not to bad for a old college student. I have taken 16 classes so far and have received 3 B's 12 A's and 1 C. I hated the C but it was math and it kicked my trash. I have 1 more math class in May, but I am also taking just that class instead of 2 classes. I am sure it will still kick my trash. I scheduled it after JR. Miss and Autumn's play because she tutors me.
The girls still have a busy crazy schedule, but it won't slow down until school is out I think. Our puppies are doing great. They are so cute and funny. They have really brought a lot of happiness to us. It is funny how an animal can make a person less depressed. Even Rich and Autumn have commented how much they feel better. Their little personalities are starting to come out and they are so funny. They fight like brothers and play hard. They still are a little rough and Neiko bites hard even though they are just playing, so we are working on that. He gets a little rough with Hope sometimes.
