So the boys went back to school last week and there was much rejoicing in the neighborhood because I know for a fact that I wasn't the only one! Very uneventful, as their teachers just threw them back into the learning game, but their backpacks were bursting with papers when they got off the bus. Si tempted to just toss them into the recycle bin and save some trees, but I resisted. Turned out to be a whole crapload of reminders, surveys and whatnot. Oh! That reminds me! I have to check on the boys lunch money balances!
Vanessa's preschool teacher had her baby on Sunday, so she's on maternity leave. Miss Stephanie, not Vanessa, lol. So for the entire month of February, Vanessa has no school. Can I tell you how disappointed she is? She woke up this morning all excited and then turned sad when I reminded her that she didn't have school today. I think I placated her by suggesting we make Miss Stephanie a card and maybe a blanket for the baby.
Jeff is the same as always. No, wait. I take that back. His new thing is to climb onto everything. And, I mean everything. If the top is even an inch or so above the floor, he'll climb it. And, he's such a little monkey about it! At first, it was climbing into his highchair by himself. Then, it was onto the back of the couch. Now, it's anything if he can get a leg up! The other day I caught him getting onto the pool table by leaning an air mattress against it and scaling that. He so reminds me Ryan at this age; very sneaky and creative.
Speaking of Ryan, the boy is officially a sports fanatic. The evidence was apparent on Super Bowl Sunday. At one point, I really thought I'd have to get the kid some counseling if the Steelers didn't win; he got very much into the game. And, he still insists that he wants to play tackle football. Yeah, I don't know. If he does, I don't think I could watch any of his games. I'm trying to convince him to wait until he's at least eleven or twelve, but he's determined. Well see.
Ethan...well, he's Ethan. He's very excited because he realized he's turning eight this year and will be getting baptized. And joining Cub Scouts. So exciting! But, it makes me feel old. Wasn't he just a baby? No? Are you sure?
Is it Spring yet? I'm tired of the yucky, cold weather and the inversion. I need to play outside!
