Change... AGAIN!!
Posted by Mortensen Family 0 comments
Life Line....
I know... Surprise, I am posting again. Life has been so very crazy the last few months. I am not even sure where to begin?
I think, or hope that everyone has pretty much been updated. I will just go forward from here.
I guess the biggest change is that I (Liz) am working for a great company called 100% Mortgage as a loan officer. I am also working for EM reDesign a homestaging company. Both jobs are flexable and allow me to be with the kids before and after school. As for Sunshine she is able to go to work with me some days and others she goes to a sitter. It is really working out well.
Summer is here and the kids are so excited for the break. However with me working we needed child care for the kids, so Manga (Liz's Grandma) to the rescue. We are so excited to have Manga to come for the whole month of June to visit and help out. I think I will want to be home more visiting then working. We will see how it goes.
Well I am hoping to be able to keep the blog up and going again. Enjoy reading!
Also I included some pictures to keep you coming back for more :)

Ice Cream Anyone?

In other family news, Little Man moved to a new school. We found that his reading is still way above grade level, however he is struggling with math. This new school will work with him on both levels. We asked him if he wanted to move and he said YES. He had not issues with the change. He already knew lots of kids at his new school from church, so it was an easy move. We like the schedule better. He goes Monday thru Thursday. Having Friday off. We like that because Alan has off every other Friday, so more family time.
Sunshine is doing well. Her hair is growing back in very nicely. She loves to color. She would color all day if I would let her. However we still have other things to get done. We had been having problems with her waking up in the night and waking the other kids and keeping them up for hours in the night. We never knew this was happening until the other kids would complain about how tired they were. We talked to her Pediatrician and she suggested Benedryl before bad. It took a few weeks to change her sleep schedule but we think we are finally there.

Twitight....
I will admit it, I went to a midnight showing of Twilight. OK it was really 12:03 am. The theater that we went to had 4 showings, 12:01, 12:02, 12:03, and 12:04 am. I was really lucky to have got tickets the day of the show in the 3rd showing. I was able to talk two friends into going with me. I think I may have even been brave enough to have gone alone. But thankfully Anya and Holly were die hard too. We got to the theater over and hour early and the theater was almost full. We still were able to find 3 pretty good seats.
As for what I thought of the movie. I really enjoyed it. I think with a lot of books made into movies you can tend to spend a lot of time comparing the movie to the book. I did a little but I got into the movie pretty quickly and really enjoyed it. I liked that it was clean, they still leave a lot of the intense stuff to the imagination, so it is not very bloody or too graphic. I liked that a lot. I really enjoyed the music. I thought that the music really pulled you in. I have to say that I really loved the movie. I think it was worth the midnight showing, and being a little tired today.
