Life just keeps going faster and faster! Please slow-down....
And I really miss my camera. It is at the Canon shop. For now, my phone pics will have to suffice.
Here is what is going on with us these days:
MB - in 5th grade, reading so much, I can hardly keep up with what she has/hasn't read. Many thanks to Mrs. H at school that lets her check out books on her own everyday after school. She also just got a hamster - lots of hard work earning the $ for that rodent. I have not, and I will not touch that thing.
Collins - 3rd grade - completely and totally enamored with all things Lego. He is also great (both of them are) about helping me with the littles. I really don't know what I would do without them.
Griffin - this little dude has conquered getting out of the van for 3 year old preschool without crying. ALL the teachers and I are cheering him on as he waves bye with a smile - such a drastic change from going completely limp (40#s of dead weight) when he got out of the van crying for me to hold his hand. He LOVES school, and gets excited every MWF when he gets to go.
Wren - WREN THOMAS is a mess. The cutest, most lovie-dovie mess. He is into everything - laundry, the dishwasher, the cabinets, Collins' legos, my paints, etc....Besides cleaning up his messes, it is a joy having this little blessing. He is a great shopper and will let me drag him all over town as long as I give him a snack. Hey, I can handle that.
He did recently lock himself in the van. It resulted in a call to 911, 2 firetrucks, and 4 men. When I say he had a blast, I am not exaggerating. Playing in the van is one of his favorite things to do while I am unloading groceries. This one time in particular, I left the keys in, AND he locked the door, AND I lost the spare keys a year ago. Anyway, he got to play in the van with lots of onlookers and enjoyed the rest of my coffee, teddy grahams, and emptying out a new package of diapers! After all was said and done, he was in there about 25 minutes. He gave all the firemen high 5's when he was "rescued".
