Rainy Rainy day

It rained and rained and rained today ... it made for some cute little stories...
Since it was a bit chilly at 7:20 this morning I decided Ethan should wear a long sleeve shirt his long sleeve shirts are apparently Teflon coated to protect against liquid stains. Ethan was on his way to the car this morning in the rain and the rain beaded up on his sleeves he told he he thought it was a "rain shirt kinda like his raid coat" it was a cute moment . He had a great day and got his wish to stay in after care ... the ran delayed me and I was late picking him up and since he was already there and playing with the girl that colored the picture for him I decided to just let him stay :D He was happy with that decision ... Micah went in and the little girl introduced her self and Ethan LMAO Ethan said "he knows who I am he's my daddy!"

Alex was a bit unruly today and with the rain there was no way to let her run off her energy I had to come up with something and QUICK! So I took a page from a good friends book and decided to make a discovery bottle!! I had to google ideas cause she doesn't have any pics of hers!!! So todays was a wave bottle .... Oil, water, and food coloring .... real simple I PROMISE!! any how she loved it!! wanna see?!?! excuse the messy kitchen and the messy shirt ... it was a LONG day! LoL

here's the bottle............

I LOVE this little look

I Love this little bottle

This is just cute ... this is what you get when you tell Alex you are gonna take a picture.

Play day!!

Well first off E had a wonderful day :) I really am so proud of him he is doing SOOOOO well!! He even asked me if he could buy lunch on Wednesdays from now on because it's pizza day. All I can say is WOW! didn't think that would happen this year! LoL
Today E found out that his class won the pizza party for having the highest percentage of parents show up to back to school night!! He was SOOOO excited! We also got the school news letter which contained ALL sorts of info including next weeks letter which is "O" AND the bible verse he has to memorize by next friday ...
Psalm 95:6 "O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our maker"

Alex and I had a GREAT change of pace today We had a play day!! I think Alex will enjoy her new friend and I KNOW I will enjoy my new friendship! I am very thankful to add a very local lady to my circle of wonderful friends :)

Oh and a very cool thing!! Micah took E out to dinner tonight because my tummy was a little icky E ran out the door he was SOOOO excited to go with his dad out somewhere alone. Their relationship is really blossoming. It makes me smile to see Ethan enjoy his daddy time!!

Tuesdays moment

Well this morning was HARD for me to even get myself outta bed I was just dragging ... I didn't get outta bed til 6:40 that is the ABSOLUTE latest I can get up and still get everything done ... IF I rush! We have to be out the door by 7:30 to be at school by 8 ... school starts at 8:15 ;) In the afternoon the trip takes only 25 min cause the traffic is not going the same way I am... the trip back home however ... can take 40 min if I hit traffic! it's crazy! Anyhow I got up late for me ... missed my shower, threw together a lunch luckily I had mac-n-cheese in the fridge ;) got e outta bed at 7:10 and rushed him through his morning. Got him to school walked him to the door and went back to my car ... Started it up drove from the side of the school to the front and felt horrible for rushin' the boy this morning I parked the car and when in and told him I was sorry ... he didn't even care!! LOL Fast forward to this afternoon ... I left the house in time to get to school at 3:35 he gets out at 3:30 and we have until 3:45 to pick them up before they go to after care SOOOOooooo I am halfway there and notice my car is on E!! I had to stop for gas and because I have diesel I can't just pay at the pump I HAVE to go in takes FOREVER!! So I get to the school AT 3:46 I sent Micah in and Ethan was already in aftercare!! Well, E comes to the car with this horrible look on his face I thought he was upset cause he thought I forgot him or something I was SOOOOOOOOOO off He was upset because I "ruined his after care fun" geeeesh Ethan could you grow up any faster?!?!? he was BEGGING to go to aftercare sometime! what am I supposed to do with that?? really?!?! any suggestions??

Thursday ... was another great day for E!! He had hand writing homework and finished it with no issue! He made some puppets too! The tiny one is Alex, the next one is Ethan the one with crazy hair is Me and the last one ... well that one is "Big headed daddy" hehehe


Friday's are always half days ... so no nap ... he was EXHAUSTED!! but he had a good day :)

Saturday was back to school night and it was a good meeting! It was more of a PTA meeting but it was great :D I did lean somethings about my boy... When we walked in E was behind me he came around to the front of me and showed me someone had colored a picture for him. I asked him who and told him to say thank you! He turned to this CUTE little blonds girl and said thank you. I turned to the little girls mom and she told me that Ethan was all she heard about at home (awwwww) So we decided to go to the gym to set up the blankets and pillow for the kids to watch the movie while we had a meeting and I took a look at the picture ... it was Cinderella and the prince kissing in the carriage OMGOODNESS!! Well E's teacher was in the gym when we got there and I showed him the picture and he asked if I had head about the little girl at home I said no nothing!! Well OMGOODNESS did he tell me about the little girl and E ... he has to keep them apart ... he told me the little girl is always trying to hold his hand and she is always hugging him hahaha E hadn't said one thing!! it's crazy!!! Well when I talked with E about it the truth came out there are 2 or 3 girls that like him ... in K ... there are 3 more in first!!! They caught a glimpse of him and all I could hear was EEEEEEETHAN!!!! and suddenly he was SURROUNDED by girls ... all fighting over who was gonna hug him and stand next to him ... I was startin' to get worried he might not come outta the girl pit alive LMAO!! Oh my ... what to do?!?! He is the self proclaimed "Ladies man" *roll eyes*

OH OH OH ... AND I got a new camera woohoo I can take pictures again!!

Sunday ... a large part of the day was spent at my parents house while M was at his fathers helping them move the last of the large items into a trailer ... it is only a mater of days before my fil and my bil will be here for good. Micah is watching me like a hawk making sure I am ok ... I am so thankful he knows this is a stressful time for me ... he really can be a GREAT man ... sometimes hehehe

Monday ... well E had school ... of course ... and hand writing homework ... that was NOT so easily completed this time :( But we had a meet the teacher night kinda thing last night and I found out I was not the only one :D We got to hear all about what they will cover this year! It's gonna be awesome!!

I guess that's it for now!!

BTW ....

I WILL be blogging most everyday from now on! What else am I to do with all the extra time I have! No more lesson plans or trying to figure out what Alex is gonna do while he studies ... I miss him but I know homeschooling was not for us. Plus he LOVES his school and he already knew 2 of the boys in his class!! I am SOOOOO thankful my parents were willing and able to assist with his school tuition she he could attend this school :)

The Boy and his school

Can you believe it?!? I Can't!! Ethan started school Monday ... that was a half day. When I Left him Monday morning in his class room I said goodbye and he responded "Bye mommy I'll see you when I get home" I had to explain to him I would be picking him up ... he seemed a bit disappointed. Hahaha! Well when I did pick him up he made it clear he was looking forward to Tuesday when he would have a whole day of school.

Tuesday was just a smooth he didn't even bother to say bye to me until his teacher told him I said goodbye... When I picked him up he told me he had a GREAT day! But he did tell me I forgot a blanket for nap time ... oops!!! I had the mat and the the pillow ... I failed to remember the blanket! Oh he mentioned something about a secret he is not allowed to tell me about ....

Wednesday!! He had a GREAT day yet again! I packed to much food for lunch ... he ate the rest on the way home. He met someone new today A little girl he remembered her name and everything!! He had homework today ... it's already done :) it was a little matching game for us to play even daddy and Alex played with us!! He brought up that secret again today ....

I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!! He LOVES his school!! This is such a great fit for him so far!!
