Back in the saddle again

It's been awhile to say the least...but I'm back. I've got a fifth grade Casanova who has picked up a British accent this week and renamed himself Prince Edward. I have a third grader who I'm still trying to figure out as his teacher told me today, "he is the sweetest and most polite boy!". I had to bring blood to my tongues surface to keep from saying, "I'm sorry do you know who my son is?" And then there is Sister Girl...about to turn four and trying to break the world record for saying the most words in a minute without taking a breath! The words I uttered in July are echoing in my head, "I'm bored and ready to get busy with the school year routine!". What!?! Now it's mid-September and I'm ruled by the clock, color coded schedules, and work requirements. But I would be lying if I didn't say I enjoy it a little bit...just a little bit. ;) Piano, guitar, scouts, gymnastics, karate, preschool, church, my volunteer night at a wonderful ministry, homework, meal planning and that crazy dog of mine (that I almost got rid of but not quite). Yes we are slightly busy but my aren't we a well rounded family? ;) My family is slightly crazy and maybe just a little dramatic- well the females at least would make up that department- so why not start writing about it again. I will end this post with a conversation from Sister Girl: we were listening to the radio in the van and while she was listening to the songs she began, "did they just say boyfriend? You told me I can't have a boyfriend but jaden calls me his girlfriend and I say no I'm not Jaden! (a moments pause) did they just say skip? I love to skip...I skip in the parking lot a lot and you laughed at me one day when I was skipping! (slight pause) did they just say sexy? That is a bad word mommy and we shouldn't say that should we? And it went on and on until I thought my head was going to explode! Welcome to a four year old daughter I suppose? Now soccer is almost over and I'm about to drive through get pizza and finish off our Friday night before I start another day with three kids, a dog and a husband!
