Let's talk about school, which we should be getting the hang of, but we're not. (blah!) Let's talk about being a parent helper, and show and tell (which is every week) and studying letters and numbers and not feeling like there are near enough hours in the days... Let's also talk about complete school meltdown and picking on your brothers, and throwing tantrums and insisting that you are not ever tired. However, it is getting easier. I'm not missing her nearly as badly as before. Cooper is enjoying the one on one time with his mommy while sister is away and brother is down for a nap. Mommy is immensly enjoying the one on one time with Cooper (the kid is a riot!) And Kami is definitely loving school. Except today when she told me the following:
"Mom, I really like school but I just don't like recess."
"Why not?"
"Because I really don't like walking and running or playing. And at recess you do a lot of that. You have to run on the sidewalk and play a lot a lot and I just don't like to do that stuf."
"Why not?"
"Because I really don't like walking and running or playing. And at recess you do a lot of that. You have to run on the sidewalk and play a lot a lot and I just don't like to do that stuf."
BAH! That's classic. I tell you this girl is a hoot!
I've got lots to share, but I have even more to do. I'll be back with some more little letters when I get another second to breathe.
Now let's talk about getting in over our heads. Last weekend (Labor Day weekend) we took a little jaunt down to Utah for a much needed vacation, and came home with a very long list of to-dos. My dad made some fabulous new tables for me (you will get pictures when I finish) my sister is letting me borrow her sewing machine to complete lots of projects I have waiting. (pictures when I finish) I niavely started painting my kitchen on Saturday.... AAGH!... (we will talk about this later, and as you guessed, I'll post pictures when I finish) I've got peaches and pears to can in my garage, and, well the list goes on.
Needless to say, when I was doing the laundry on Saturday I didn't have time to fold (what with my hands covered in paint) and so they just got stacked on my bedroom floor. Sunday morning Cooper says to me: "Mom, watch me climb this tall tall mountain!" as he scales up my pile of laundry... that about sums up the work load for this week.
I love my kids. They are so much fun and their little personalities are classic!

It's naive, you know, like evian spelled backwards. Because only a fool would pay $3 for bottled water :)
