Updates...

The kids are LOVING school...They really like their teachers, they love being back with their friends...Mommy however is still hating the hours. Seriously 7:30-1:45 is a VERY early day, and we all know I am SO NOT a morning person!

Last night we had an injury at our house...The deck has claimed another victim (Dad being the first...sorry to bring it up again Dad, but I bet Mom is still laughing)....Kelsey and Colin went outside to blow bubbles and Kels took a step backwards not realizing how close she was to the edge...She went off and caught the steps....OUCH



She cried and all I could make out of the sobbing was " I don't wanna play outside anymore!" Poor kid.

Colin is a regular funnyman. I asked him to clean up his room before bed last night, did he do it? A little. Was it "mommy standards" ? No, most definitely NOT. I told him when he got home today he had to clean it up "Okay." 2 hours goes by...Colin still hasn't picked it up. "Colin, you have 5 minutes to clean up your room, or your bed time is bumped to 7 tonight." He took off up the stairs, but came sneaking through the kitchen with a grin about 10 minutes later. "Is it clean?" I ask.
"You'll never know." was his reply. WHAT?! So I head up the stairs and he is giggling his little butt off behind me. About a month ago McDonald's Happy Meals had "Spy Gear" in them...1 of these Spy Gear things was a room alarm (you know hook it to your door, set it and if the door gets opened it shrieks)... This is what I find as I get to his room (and now his giggling is full blown laughter):

He did clean it but thought it would be funny to "Fool Mommy". Yup, a regular Uncle Scott ain't he?!

The house (as you can see by my last post)...Still for sale, but I am coming to terms with it...Which Step is Acceptance? That's where i'm at. If it is still on the market in a month or 2 we're going to pull it til Spring. I can't feel too badly, houses we liked back in March are still on the market. I know it will sell when the time is right....or at least I tell myself that so much I've actually convinced myself now!

And that is pretty much life in a few paragraphs!
