Wednesday, not so bad

I decided Wednesday is really an o.k. day. I actually woke up excited that it was Wednesday. Today is pizza day, which means, I don't have to make any lunches. The other bonus, I want the kids to be extra hungry at lunch so they will eat all the pizza I ordered for them.
Soooooo, I feed them.... COLD CEREAL!!!
It really is heavenly. I hardly lift a finger on Weds. morning.
If you have pizza day at school, use it!! It makes for a great day.

Basketball

I never in a million years would have guessed that my little Miss P would be a sporty girl. I use to get so bugged when she would "WANT" to wear a dress every.single.day!! I'm not sure what happened but this year she has played in a soccer league and did some Junior Jazz basketball. She is unreal!! I absolutely L.O.V.E watching this girl play her sports. She is so amazing and over-the-top.
Last week she played in a basketball game. She was rotating into the game and the opposing team was down by where we were sitting. There were two girls standing next to us and they were fighting over who had to cover Miss P. Neither one wanted to play man-to-man with our little girl because she is so over-the-top. We laughed and felt their pain!!!
This is a terrible picture of her but she is making a shot. She had 5 shots that game and all 5 went in. I am in no way saying she is going pro but I am saying this is not the girl I thought she was going to become 4 years ago. I guess you never know what these little people have in them until you let them spread their wings.

Losing our minds.....I mean tooth

We have officially lost a tooth. Mr T has been waiting a very long time for one of his precious teeth to fall out. As soon as he realized he had a loose one, he did not stop pulling and tugging at it until Saturday night when it popped right out.

I have to say, I am grateful he is the type to tug and pull. The other two would protect the tooth as if it were made of solid gold. Mr C was particularly sensitive about the loss of a tooth. I remember his first tooth he fainted when it finally came out. Thank goodness I was close enough to catch him or he would have knocked out all his teeth when face planting onto the tile floor.

Here's to a New Year and a new SMILE!!!

Life

This week I started a job after almost 7 years of being a stay at home mom. I work two days a week, 9a.m.-1p.m. It is perfect but wouldn't you know the first day I went to work the school called and informed me that Mr. C had split his ear open on the soccer goal post while trying to catch a ball. I left work, took him to his pediatrician and left with five stitches in his ear.
I decided to work an extra day this week so I could figure out the computer system. Of course, the school calls me again informing me that Mr C is throwing up. Wouldn't you know it!!! I have never been called from the school to come pick up any of my children until I start a new job, it figures.
What is so funny is last week I told Ted what a great year this has been in the "healthy department". Everyone has managed to stay away from the "swine flu" and we have had a total of 3 colds and that is it. I knew as soon as I voiced how wonderful it had been we would be knocked down with something. I'm just hoping Mr C will be feeling much better tomorrow because it's my official day to work. I know if I wasn't working, he would be healthy as ever. I have to confess, the doctor I am working with is amazing and I could cancel any day if I needed to.
We did some snowshoeing last Saturday and it was a blast. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning with the kids!

For the love of Science

This has been the substance of our evenings here in the hood. I'm so grateful it's no longer our life.

***Note to self: Next year, don't wait until the bitter end to get it done. Start early, end early.
