    This Weeks One Liners

    No Comments

    “Mommy, where are you?”   Cali

    “Did Jesus Christ make the Cheeto Man?”   Packer

    “I wish it were Saturday already.”   Benji

    That about sums up our week. Cali wanting mommy and talking a lot. Packer, loving learning and asking lots of questions. Joy School was at our house so he and Cali enjoyed that. And Benji busted out the Saturday comment on Tuesday – welcome to the wonderful world of school buddy – but he can’t deny that he has a good time at kindergarten every day. Everything looked good with the baby at my Wednesday appointment. We’ll see what next Wednesday brings. I’m not anxious yet but I am getting really excited. I think we finally decided on a name but we will wait for her arrival before we make that official. My tummy is really big now so I will probably be sitting here on my couch for the next few weeks if you need me…. or I might get the itch to leave the house every day in anticipation of being home bound in the near future. Anyway… bring on the weekend.

    More on Potty Training

    No Comments

    When your newly potty trained child tells you that they need to go to the bathroom it is really smart to listen and find a bathroom right away. Bad things will happen if he tries to hold it 🙁 enough said.

    Cali is getting some new teeth!

    Can you see those little whites popping up? and we are waiting for her hair to get longer and get out of her eyes.

    She also had a fit yesterday morning while getting dressed until I realized that she needed to wear her Green Bay shirt like her brother. And  the girl doesn’t talk much or have a big vocabulary but she managed to tell me plain as day when she wanted a cookie.

    Kindergarten Update: He loves it! We were not surprised when Benji brought home the ‘sound bag’ from school yesterday. He said that his teacher picked him because he was quiet with arms folded and looking at her first. He is the king of little rules like that 🙂 Other high lights are Recess, Magic 1, 2, 3, and M&Ms for learning the letter ‘m’…

    I have had an extremely lazy week, recovering from a busy weekend and gearing up for another BUSY weekend and this body is getting harder and harder to make it do what I want. Glad it is Friday and excited to see friends and family this Labor Day weekend! 🙂

    First Day of Kindergarten!

    3 Comments

    WOW, what a quiet and relaxing morning!! I think I am going to like these 2 mornings a week when the boys have Kindergarten and Joy School. I got some chores done and Cali and I read books, played on the swing, had some computer time, read more books, played Mr Potato Heads… I haven’t raised my voice or had to deal with Computer or TV – -awe …. so nice. Hopefully the Kindergartener is having just as good of a day as I am. 🙂

    I'm only a little bit excited!

    Packer was ready for his 2nd day and Benji REALLY wanted to wear his Transformer shirt so that made it a good day 🙂

    and Cali couldn't be left out again

    He's a big kid now!

    The whole family walked him to school this morning for his first day. He was skipping the whole way there and talking to dad. Once we got there we said goodbye at the door and all of the parents watched through the window. He could barely reach his backpack hook but he did and then he made his way over to his seat. He knew exactly where it was but was being very cautious in going over and sitting between the two girls. No tears were shed by him or us, Ben and I are just excited for him and we “think” that he will really enjoy school. Cali and I will go pick him up in a few minutes and see how it went! (fingers crossed)
