<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Another year, another great turn out and again I find myself in complete awe of just how great our friends and family are. I say it every year but every year it proves truer: I couldn’t do this without all of you. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Despite losing a few walkers to work, flooding or illnesses, we had an amazing 63 people show up for the walk, including what seemed like half of Conway Freight‘s workforce. 61 people hit the trail while my hubby Jeremy, and busted-toe Bryan set up our after party down at the cove. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">As most of you know, the first sponsor form turned in brought us above last years entire fundraising total of $1,600. Darcy and Justin Gallion and their kiddos Jax and Jay raised an astonishing $1,439 this year! Around $1,000 of that came from Whitney Blake and their employees, so huge thanks to them as well. Next in line for the most raised was another Gallion, Justin’s mother Diane, who raised $700! Third was Candy and David Desrochers with $400. And forth, was a former Gallion, Tanya McAllister along with the Conway Freight crew turned in $397. Everyone’s hard work and dedication raised $3,604.25 this year for Shriners Hospital bringing our 6 year total thus far to $14,453.25!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Huge thanks go out to: Walpole Savings Bank for their water donation, Conway Freight for their donation of water bottles and bags, Wendy’s for donating gift cards and Bar Vee Farm/3 Brothers Sugaring for donating a quart of syrup to be awarded to the largest fund raisers, my dad Ray St. Sauveur, Linda Schettino, my mom Candy Desrochers and “BDD” David Desrochers for covering the cost of our shirts again, Sam Putnam and Miranda Brown for running around to get the shirts and get them to me, Doolittle’s PrintServ for making our stickers, the Ink factory for making our shirts and for dealing with all my crazy color changes and random shirt colors, thank you mom for being so awesome at keeping kiddos entertained and dragging all the adults out there to hop around like fools, thanks to Darcy and Justin Gallion, Diane Gallion, Rachel and Bryan Butler, Jeremy Honeycutt, Denis and Sue Chabot, Candy and David Desrochers, Ron and Sue Precourt for all your help with donating towards food, making food, buying food and cooking food.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Thank you to the many people who snagged pictures. I always forget how impossible it is to be 10 places at once ;-) And also to Mt Mansfield Media for joining us. I know Taylor wasn’t exactly (or even remotely) cooperative during her interview, but I hope you managed to get at least some usable footage.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Thank you to our Shrine clown friends KC of Mt Sinai #3 along with Railz and Fix-It of Melha. It means the world to me that you took time off of your regularly scheduled clowning/parading/etc duties to join us again. And to Lady Maureen of Ladies Oriental Shrine NA Helma Court #64 for joining us this year! For those who were unaware, the Ladies of Helma Court are the ones that oversee the Shriners Hospital can tab collection, where we bring Tabs For Taylor. We learned last summer of the fiscal year for the tab project, and for year ending March 30, 2015, Tabs For Taylor turned in 1,323 pounds. April 1, 2015 through today we have collected another 450 pounds. Since we began collecting in June 2009, we have collected roughly 15,040,150 can tabs which is around 9,171 pounds. Now that we are all on the same page with fiscal information, we’re hopeful that we will have another 2,000 pounds by March 30, 2016, and with everyone’s help, I know we can do it! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">As for Taylor’s year in review, she received her 7th arm, learned to swim, rocked the soccer field, stepped away from basketball this winter to join the cheer squad and just wrapped up her first year of coach-pitch baseball, where she killed it Jim Abbott style! This was the first time she played a sport without her prosthetic, and she received not one but TWO MVP game balls which she proudly has displayed with her Jim Abbott figurine. She is blossoming as an artist and poet and had some of her artwork featured on display at a Vermont library. She left first grade with straight A’s and is excited to begin her journey into 2nd grade. Taylor is anxiously awaiting July 31, when she will be crowned Queen of the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl (for the second time!) and for the parade and football game following on August 1 in Castleton Vermont! Already a very full resume and busy life for a 6 year old.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">As for our beloved Springfield Shriners Hospital, they are celebrating its 90th anniversary this year and with the continued support of people like all of you, they can look forward to another 90 years of helping kids defy the odds! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Thank you Shriners for all you have done to help our little Taylor and thank you everyone for your continued support. I hope to see you all again for SHrINE ON Springfield 2016!</span></span></div>

Wow! What a beautiful day we had Saturday. I can not thank everyone enough. Without all of you, this fundraiser wouldn’t exist and we wouldn’t be able to give this much back to help Shriners Hospitals help more kids defy the odds.<br />

I was very excited to see our numbers growing again after a small showing last year. We had over 60 supporters show up to the walk and although we did lose the bulk of our Sinai Joe clown friends (thank you Mike for sticking around ) and a few others to the Claremont Alumni parade, we had 45 adults, kids and babies hit the Toonerville Trail to support this wonderful cause. Jack Snyde, John and Jane Waysville, Sam Putnam, Travis and Beth Putnam, “Fix It”, Tanya McAllister, Julie St. Sauveur, Rachel Harrell, Mike Bamforth and Jan Vann, Lori McElroy, Clyde and Diane Gallion, Darcy and Justin Gallion, and Mrs Ferland and the kindergarten class from Bethlehem NH Elementary School (thanks to Pitre and Julie) turned in 20 gallons of (aluminum can) Tabs For Taylor and all our walkers raised a grand total of $1600.00 for Shriners Hospitals for Children!<br />
<br />
Once again, Darcy and Justin Gallion’s clan has smashed the competition. They raised $500 this year for our beloved hospital and I was told that it was mostly thanks to their son Jaxyn’s efforts. Way to go Jaxyn!<br />
<br />
We also drew in a few more participants from far away: Our friends Shawn (2012 Potentate of Mt. Sinai) and Jaqi Kincaid made it down from Lyndonville VT, “Fix It” Gerald Ducharme came up again this year and brought his wife Tami and 3 of their kids followed by our new friend “Railz” Bill MacKinnon, both of Melha Shriners in Springfield MA. Candy and David Desrochers and Julie St. Sauveur made the trek down again from Alton NH and Lisa Boyle came down from Union NH. We also had our first international participants! Johanne Champigny, who was one of Taylor’s Occupational Therapists when we lived on the Canadian border, rode down with her husband Denis Dufour from their home in Canada to join us.<br />

After our wonderfully successful walkathon, we headed down Route 5 to Herrick’s Cove for our Thank You BBQ. We lost a few walkers but held a strong turn out of 40 people. We had tons of food, a crazy water fight which started with itty bitty squirt guns then turned into squirt cannons and water ballons followed by buckets full of water being tossed around, a giant slip n slide, bubbles, wiffle ball and the always hilarious sack race.<br />

Taylor is now in her 6th “Armie” (and will be receiving her 7th in a few days) thanks to Shriners Hospitals for Children. She received her first 3 arms between 3 months and 22 months of age and now receives a new one about every 12 to 18 months depending how fast she grows. In 5 years, we have raised $10,849.00! That is awesome!!!! I also want you to understand that Taylor’s medical needs are about as small as they come when Shriners Hospital is involved. Most of the children treated there have serious spinal and orthopedic issues or cleft lip and palate, requiring multiple surgeries and years of follow up treatments. This doesn’t even include the kids who are treated at the Shriners burn hospitals like the one in Boston. I also want you all to know that $10,849 would cover maybe 1 1/2 of her “armies” or 1 leg prosthetic and it would barely dent the cost of a single surgery. The patients and their families never see a bill for any of it.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Children up to age 18 with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>palate are eligible for admission and receive all care in a family-centered environment with no financial obligation to the patient or their families.<br />
<br />
Shriners Hospitals rely on the generosity of Shriners, and donors like you, to deliver this mission every day and the need for these hospitals will always be there. We can not prevent children from being born with or developing the conditions that the Shriners Hospitals treat, and no matter how hard we try, we can’t always prevent kids from being injured or burned. Each year, the number of new patients grows, as does the cost to treat and, if possible, correct these ailments and I hope each year the number of supporters grows as well.<br />
<br />
Shriners change the world by caring for kids and helping those kids defy the odds! All of us who have had a loved one treated at their hospitals are eternally grateful and forever in their debt. To everyone who has supported us both past and present and to all who rock their Fez with pride, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!<br />
<br />
We hope and look forward to seeing you all next summer for Shrine On Springfield 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

The day after we bought the house was our annual Shrine On Springfield walkathon for Shriners Hospitals. It was a much smaller group this year due to the multiple graduations that were happening that day as well as 3 different alumni "happenings" and parades but we still raised $1733 for Shriners Hospital in Springfield and we had a fun time doing it. "Fix It" even came up from Mass for our little shindig and made the girls' day ;)</div>

Which was an experience I can't say I ever want to relive. The show itself was fine, good even, but getting into Gillette Stadium was stupid! Then the first 30 or so employees we dealt were so beyond idiotic and down right mind numbing....... its no wonder some people just go postal. Wow! Luckily we met a few employees who had common sense, personalities and were completely down right awesome and turned our (or at least my) anger into a fun time. Liv, Auntie Momma and Boss Man, you guys saved the day ;)</div>

We then all got a little R and R when the girls spent this past week visiting our Lakes Region family. Jeremy and I got to dust off our motorcycles and finally ride them. And the girls had their days filled with all the usual Chaos and Mayhem type fun.... Making trips to see some "Tabbies", heading to Maine for another adventure in Old Orchard, feeding reindeer and visiting with Santa up at Santa's Village, camping, baking, shopping, bubbles, bicycles and having a blast. </div>

<br />
As always, every single penny collected goes directly to the Shriners Hospital in Springfield MA to help kids receive the medical care they need for spinal and orthopedic conditions as well as cleft lip and palate. <br />
<br />
Children treated at Shriners Hospitals receive top of the line family-centered care AT NO COST and Shriners Hospitals relies on the generosity of Shriners and people like you and me to continue this mission.<br />
<br />
Please consider making a donation to this wonderful cause either by sponsoring someone you know who is walking or securely online at www.tinyurl.com/sos2013 and help kids like my daughter Taylor continue defying the odds! <br />

<br />
Tayt just received a HUGE care package full of letters and picture from the Bethlehem NH kindergartners on top of the thousands of tabs they have been saving for her. She was pretty excited to say the least. <br />
<br />
That following Friday Grandmama, Auntie Lisa and GG went down to Shriners Hospital in Springfield to present our 6 month old tab pile which consisted of approximately 650 pounds. We didn't get to go on this adventure because Taylor was sick but we did finally make it down Monday to drop off another 25 pounds of tabs that were dropped off in our North Walpole well over the weekend. And while we were there, little Mayhem was also fitted for her 6th Armie. She's still sticking with Dora the explorer and boots the monkey but this one is purple.<br />
<br />
Saturday brought more tab love when we were invited to the BPOE in Springfield Vt so that the Elks members and Moose members could present the tabs they have been saving to Taylor personally. We were also able to visit with some Shriners who were there :) and now on top of all the excitement with the 60th Maple Sugar Bowl and Taylor's "queen status" we'll be making a few other appearances too. <br />

<br />
Little Miss Taylor was chosen to be the Queen of the 60th anniversary Shriners Maple Sugar Bowl! But I'm so excited for her and she's bordering on psychotic over it. She can not wait to get a new "ball gown" and of course a princess crown and ride in the parade with her Fezed friends (especially the clowns). The game isn't until August so you'll have to wait for those pictures ;) <br />
<br />
I submitted the applications and whatnot for our 5th Shrine On Springfield walkathon and I will have the confirmed walk date soon!<br />
<br />
Our tabs-on-hand count is up over 2,565,000 and growing!!!!!!! Holy cow!!!! I can't really absorb that. I couldn't even get them all in one picture. I'm going to try again when we drop them off Friday, and I'm sure someone will succeed in grabbing a good pic. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has made this possible and continues to save Tabs For Taylor!<br />
<br />
Speaking of Fridays drop off, we're headed down to Shriners Hospital ( if you hadn't figured that out yet) to check out Tayt's "Boots" Armie and see if its time for the third color of Dora fabric to be made into her 6th Armie .....oh my. <br />
<br />
Last week's visit with GrandMaMa and Papa was not enough for the girls so were kidnapping my mom to go down with us and since my Grandmother "GG" is up from Florida maybe she'll come along too. We shall soon find out. <br />
<br />
Other than that is SSDD: hanging out with friends and family, birthday parties, school stuff for Miss Ashtyn and lots of playing in the snow. And if it involves any form of chaos or mayhem..... That's how our day/month/year went ;) <br />
<br />

We're headed to Lake Winnipesaukee to visit my Mom's side of the family for Thanksgiving this year and it just so happens that the Bektash Shriners are having their annual Fez-tival of Trees this week too! I first heard about these Fez-tivals from the Kora Shriners website but their Temple is so far away from us that I can't just randomly sneak off over there. Luckily, after some searching online ....yes, I have "real internet" again!...... I found out that some other Shrines also host these Fez-tivals and Bektash happens to be one of them. So since we are going right by Bektash, we're going to swing in to their Fez-tival to see all the beautiful Christmas trees. I can't wait!</div>

After my presentation at the VT Shriners Ball this summer, we were invited to the Fall Ceremonial at Melha Shriners in Springfield MA. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At this ceremony they welcomed new members into their Shrine. This activity is not usually open to "outsiders" but for this ceremony they invited 8 of us to join them. During this celebration, the new members performed a skit. I'm not sure how much of that skit is privileged info so I'll only share a brief, edited bit. Towards the end, as a member narrated the actions happening on the stage, the Masons built a temple. On the top of this temple were stones with different symbols that are very meaningful to the members. They lifted the last of the stones to the top of the temple and the symbol on this one was the<a href="http://www.shrinersinternational.org/en/Shriners/History/Emblem.aspx" target="_blank"> Shriners' emblem</a>. As I watched from back stage I was having a hard time keeping myself together. Once the Temple was complete, a child (my eldest daughter Ashtyn), was wheeled, in a wheelchair, out onto the stage and the Shriner picked up the crutches and then the child and carried her.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't even begin to tell you how hard it was not to cry. Even as I write this, I'm tearing up. This is what Shriners do and have done for almost 100 years and all that they do, they do to help children, and one of those children is mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the performance, we watched a video of 2012's Patient Ambassadors and then presentations from the three guest speakers. Two are current Shriners Hospitals patients, and the third, the scary part, was myself. There was a 4th Shriners patient there with us as well but he let his sister Molly do the talking. She did an absolutely wonderful job, as did <a href="http://photos.masslive.com/republican/2012/09/shriners_hospital_walk-a-thon_in_springfield_1.html" target="_blank">Meg Moore</a>. It was great to hear their stories and memories of their visits to the Springfield hospital. Its funny, we all had the same fears and now share the same thoughts and experiences, even though our needs and reasons for being there are completely different. I was already nervous about speaking to begin with but then Molly wheeled out onto the floor to share her and her brother's experiences and their love for the hospital, and then Meg wheeled out to do the same as she shared hers with the aid of her computer speaking program, it was all I had not to melt. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know that Shriners Hospital does amazing things. I've seen a lot of their miracles first hand but I still sometimes forget just how much they do. And while to some people, having one hand would be the end of the world in their minds, Taylor's needs are so small and she can do anything. Some of the children Shriners Hospitals help, just like the three wonderful patients we met tonight, even after the miracles are done, they are still unable to speak or walk and do other things a lot of us take for granted. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My presentation began with my video/slideshow of Taylor. I changed it up a little bit so it wasn't the exact same one I showed in Vermont but it still had the same effect. Everyone listened to Lady Gaga sing "Born this way" and watch Taylor begin as a little blip on the ultrasound monitor, receive her first, second, all the way to 5th Armie, see the loving family she has, the Shriners and friends we've met along the way and the finale, one of the best things I have ever experienced.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjul_YezF5Q6C0igNljT4TJEkq_L4smvA29RY2sgULr8agjiXrBr8Nsq20jh0TWaefvSMVcNLsX2Unr9LMBKEKhY8Dna9b9MALCVmip-SER04ndBsDLVfZXnq0zxhKj1MDYPiVyAvmNWtw/s1600/DSC04223.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjul_YezF5Q6C0igNljT4TJEkq_L4smvA29RY2sgULr8agjiXrBr8Nsq20jh0TWaefvSMVcNLsX2Unr9LMBKEKhY8Dna9b9MALCVmip-SER04ndBsDLVfZXnq0zxhKj1MDYPiVyAvmNWtw/s320/DSC04223.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...... proof that the Springfield Shriners Hospital would stay open!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And as the video plays, Taylor is dancing around going "That's me! This is my movie" and just captivating the audience. Then, when the music ends, the three of us head to the podium and instead of me talking to the crowd, Taylor took the mic and attempted to tell them something about herself when she was a baby and then said "Thank you" to everyone in the room. They all applauded her and then played her video again so she could dance around some more. Then it was time for me to hold back the tears and try to speak. This was a little easier to do than concentrate as the girls took the stage behind me. They climbed up, they climbed down, they jumped, and just went goofy. As I got to the part of "nothing will ever slow her down" we all kind of laughed as I thanked them for loading the girls up on chocolates, sugar cookies and coca cola before the ceremony. I shared with them a few of our experiences at the Springfield hospital and made sure they know that we love the staff and even mentioned just how awesome Brock, Jim, Rob and Debi are. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I somehow managed to get through it without tears and for the second time a bunch of grown men in the audience did not. I met with some of them during the intermission and they shared with me their stories of how they were once Shriners patients or their children were or are and one gentleman was going through a similar ordeal to my ultrasound right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll never get used to Shriners thanking me. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't do what I do. They are the miracle workers. I'm just a grateful mom trying to thank them for what they do for all the kids out there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Our night ended with enjoying the different Shrine groups introducing themselves and showing off their talents. The marching band, the drummers, the highlanders.....let me rephrase that: THE HIGHLANDERS! I get to see them maybe once a year, if i'm lucky. AWESOME! I love bagpipes!!! , the bikers (haha "American made rides up front, all others to the back! YES! ) , the clowns. BRING ON THE CLOWNS! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lookout "Schmeckles" I think Ashtyn's in love with "Fix It". And "Clueless", you better get to Clown College, these guys know how to make balloon animals. "Cheer Up" , you had them at "hello".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The girls went out with the clowns as they did their performance and had a blast! And then as the other groups came out, Ashtyn and Taylor bounced balloons on the stage as the "higher ups" tried to listen. Everyone thought it was great as I nervously watched, waiting for the over-tired crankiness to become unstoppable. We said our final goodbyes as they set up for dinner. I knew at any moment Chaos was going to self combust. We headed out to the parking lot and Ashtyn began to sob. One of the Shriners was out front with his Lady and she came to the rescue. She brought the girls over to her car and let them pick out a toy for their ride home. This stopped the waterworks long enough to leave the parking lot but I had to promise her a happy meal to ensure the rest of the ride went smoothly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you everyone at Melha for showing us a wonderful time and for everything you've done and everything you do.........changing the world by caring for kids and helping those kids defy the odds!</div>

Shortly after she turned 3, she acquired a virus that turned into a nasty strain of pneumonia. The illness only lasted a few days, but she passed away from it.<br /> In memory of Laurie, we have a Butterfly Dance. She loved butterflies and dancing. Here, we raise money and turn it around and donate it to local charities that benefit children. Some of the charities include the Headstart programs, Christmas Fund, Toddler Program at the Charlestown Library, clothing a toddler who's house burned, summer pool passes, and more!<br /> It is just a fun day for kids. The bounce houses keep them well entertained. We also have activity tables, music and dancing, food and raffles. Please come and join the fun! Your child will look forward to it all year:) "</span></span></span></div>

Our week has contained lots of visting of course but everyone has to work during the day so the girls and I have entertained ourselves shedding new life on our Tabs For Taylor well.

And of course, no project would be complete without the kids getting in the middle of things. I'm glad she did though.....I never would have guessed she had grown this much in such little time... or just how bad the well really did look. Yikes! I should have been on that a while ago.<br />

So I finally got things going but ran into issue after issue. The first problem: the red wouldn't cover the unweathered spots on the well</div>

<span id="signature"></span> Then, I needed 46 star stencils cut out of contact paper to stick on the white roof. The plan was to paint over the stencils then when I pulled them off, they would leave beautiful white perfect stars. Well, there is problem 2 and 3. Cutting them out took FOREVER! And to make matters worse, they peeled off the white paint and some blue when i tried to pull them off. GRRRRRR!<br />

We had soooooooooooooooooooooo much fun! I can not even begin to tell you what a great day it was. Filled with Cinderella, Alice, Red, Tink, the StoryBops, Duke the Dragon, Humpty Dumpty, Corduroy....you know, the bear with the green overalls....I remember him from Miss Hesh's kindergarden class....you should too ;) Tons of rides, and soaked is not even the word for Pharaoh's Reign. Oh my goodness was that fun!</span><span id="signature"></span> <div class="mobile-photo">

I could rock the high speed down in town but had virtually nothing at the homestead after Verizon turned their towers like a bunch of idiots >:( Oh well. I guess that's all in the past now. Now its just a waiting game for our bank to finish making us submit paper after paper and answer questions over and over again and then we can finally move into our new place. I can not wait to get in there and clean it, paint it and move my 8 tons of crap into it. Oh its gonna be awesome. Then it'll be time to find my broke butt a new job. BOOO! With Jeremy's new employer he's basically either at work or on call for work. The days of flowing opposite schedules are no more. Which makes reliability with kid drop offs and pick ups at school non existant. And, the kids have to go to two different schools this year. UGH! The preK is overloaded here so tons of kids are on the waiting list for not only this school but all their 'partner' schools. So Tayt going local is not going to happen. i did find her a spot in NH at a school Ashtyn went to a few years ago and I'm psyched about that but its private pay and not cheap by any means so I'm battling with the state of VT to cover at least their supposed required 10 hours of preK that is entitled to all VT kiddos and trying to figure out how to cover the rest of that. Yay. So whenever i can figure out the answers to all that crap, then i can work on the job issue. But for now its hold down the fort, get the bank, house, school and iep crud going forward, keep myself busy and this place cleaned, and help out with Gram as much as I can.
