So we started school... and then had to stop 3 days in... Anna and Xavier both were sick all day Friday. I keep waiting to see if Jay or I will get sick and so far so good! Let's hope it lasts!
Today we started off pretty well. About halfway through school, Anna discovered that she had a loose tooth. She could have pulled it out if she wasn't such and ninny about blood. I can say that because I was the same way when I was her age! We got to lunch and she made her sister a sandwich and then made her own. She was going to take her second bite when she started freaking out... and I mean FREAKING out! As she was going to take her bite she first noticed that her tooth wasn't in her mouth and second that it was stuck in the bread of her sandwich! It was hysterical the way she carried on! I know... mean mom moment, right? I did calm her down and then got her to spit her food out to hold a paper towel to the new hole in her mouth. She pulled the napking out of her mouth... saw the blood and again started in with new hysterics! I got her calmed down and then she realized that she looks just like Xavier now and she started back up again... by then I just let her go! It was pretty funny.
Jay has not been having a good beginning to the week. So far he has managed to hurt both of his sisters... and one brother. He is at a pretty tough age... and I am trying to figure out what to do about that. I am hoping that Flag Football will help be an outlet for his energies!
Caleb is getting to be a good little stinker! He is so funny with the things that he does!! He sticks his tongue out a lot to feel his new teeth. He loves following people around in his walker. And he is getting pretty quick on it too! His siblings love and adore him and he is starting to figure out how to love back!! He pats their backs, pulls their hair, and slobbers on them... such a good baby!
Sydney is trying to be bigger than she is. She wants to help with so much but is still just a little to small to be helpful. She loves to play in her room with her babies and watch Olivia, My Little Ponies, or Strawberry Shortcake.
Xavier can't wait to start his school but at the same time... he loves to play with the trains in his room and Legos too. He and Sydney will play together well for about half the day and then their patience for each other seems to be gone! That is about the time that we try and do seperate activities!
My mom sent me an application to apply for a Writing College. We'll see how that goes. I sent it in and am waiting to hear back. I feel like there is something great in me that I need/should write... I just don't know what it is yet. Hopefully, IF I get accepted we can look into it in more detail.
Jerry is really enjoying his job. He seems busy and he likes busy. He has really missed being with troops the last 3 years and is going to miss it for another couple being here, but he has a lot of projects that he has to get done so that should keep him busy. The plus side is that he gets to come home for lunch at least a couple times a week. THAT has not happened EVER. The kids enjoy him coming home as do I. He really likes the fact that the gym is minutes away and he can work out early in the morning and shower at home, not at the gym! I am not complaining about that either!
On Sunday we went to Lane Orchard. WOW! It was amazing! Peaches, pecans, corn, tomatoes... EVERYWHERE! They even had a cafe, an ice cream shop, and a production line that you could see. There were tours of their place too. Since it was Sunday the line wasn't running, but we still saw where all the people sit and sort the peaches and pecans. It was pretty cool and the kids really liked their homemade ice cream!! We can't wait to go back and try their food and visit their production line.
Other than that... we are getting a long. Our street is now full. All the houses are occuppied. I felt a little isolated this past week with the kids being sick... still do a little. But this is the beginning of a new week! Can't wait to see what it has in store.
