Misc Info

The boys are in school and I love it. Mia has a great time during the day without them. Yesterday she tried to swallow her hair clip during nap. I heard her screaming and run up and found her sitting in bed choking. Then she tried to climb the stairs with her blanket,fell backwards and hit her head. When I woke her up this morning she had thrown her blankets on the floor and taken her earrings out and tossed them on the floor also. You would think that she was trying to make up for her brothers not being around so much.
Tonight Logan has a scrimmage game. He is very excited. He informed his coach that he met Bill Romonawski while he was in the hospital and he taught him how to tackle. He tried to teach the coach the Romo way but his coach told him that he needs to do it the coaches way. He was very impressed with Logan's energy.
I will post some pictures of the first day and of Logan in football gear soon. Tonight we have open house, football and Kyle has to be at his school for something. I don't know how to be in 3 places at once.

School is Starting

I have never waited so long for school to start. I remember as a child I was happy when school started but I always felt like I could use an extra few weeks of summer. As of today the boys only have 4 more sleeps until school starts. I am counting down the days til my freedom begins. This summer has been especially stressful for our family. Moving across the country and having dad leave 3 weeks later really knocked the boys out of wack. I know that they are just as excited to start school as I am. All 4 of them will be gone all day!!!! Mia will start a preschool program Monday and Friday mornings. So at least 2 mornings a week I will be completley free. She cried when we went to visit the preschool. She wanted to stay and play. So told me bye,mama and walked away. She was so sad when she realized that we were there only for orientation not to stay. I guess she is ready to have some time away from mom.
If on the first day of school I have tears in my eyes it is not from saddness. It is pure joy that I will actually be able to go to the grocery store and not have to hear "can I have this" and I will be able to take a shower and not be interrupted. The thing I am most looking forward too I think is actually drinking my coffee while it is hot. I have heard that people do that.

Riding a Bike with your Eyes Closed

In case everyone didn't know, it is not a good idea to ride your bike with your eyes closed. Just ask Graham. He was following Brayden and he closed his eyes, they opened back up after he had hit the corner of a mailbox. A few minutes and a lot of blood later he was brought home. I took him in and our great Dr put 2 stitches in his forhead. I told Graham if he had been wearing his helmet like he is supposed to he would be just fine right now. Now he thinks he is entitled to whatever he wants. He went to bed dreaming of having icecream for breakfast.

Future NFL Linebacker???

Does this face look like a pro linebacker??? Logan is so excited to be a linebacker on his football team. I guess the black eye helped make him look tough. If you ask Kyle what happened to Logan's eye his story is he accidently gave him an elbow to the eye. Logan's side of the story is that Kyle gave him a fist on purpose. Who do you believe??? The eye was very black 2 weeks ago.
