Am I dreaming?

I just had to post this, last night I was going to wake Kolbryn up to do his nightly duty and I looked at him and had to run and go get the camera, He was wearing Brecken's pants and he had them on backwards. I had to take a picture of him, then when he stood up I had to take another, well I took him to the bathroom and notice he had no underwear on. When I had put him to bed he was wearing underwear, that is his P.J's of choice. So some how he had taken his underwear off and put on Brecken's pants, but the thing is that Brecken's clothes are in a totally different room than his. So I redressed him and put him to bed. IN the morning I asked him, why were you wearing Brecken's pants. He said he wasn't. I said yes you were and I even got a picture of it, because everyone knows that 6 year olds are smarter than parents, they are always right, so I wanted proof. He said show me, I showed him the picture and he said I know what happen you had a dream of it and then you took a picture of your dream, see what did I tell you 6 year olds are always right.

First day of school

Logan is starting 5th grade, Brittin 3rd and Kolby 1st, how could that be? BUt it is true I saw it with my own eyes, tear filled, but I saw it. Should I say tears of joy. James ask what am I going to do now, with just one kid at home, I say I am not going to be home, I will be helping out at the school. I mean I will have some down time but a lot of help and driving kids from here to there is what my life will consist of. Kolby is in flag football and wants to sign up for soccer at the same time, Logan wants to sign up for soccer and Brittin is already on a comp. soccer team, so I will be busy every night, that I need the day to recoop. I really miss my kids but I am glad they are learning and having a good time. Logan stayed up till midnight the night before school started, he said he was excited, I hope that is what it was, I had to go and sleep with him to help settle him down, it was worse than Christmas. Every one love the first day, but Kolby had to stay home the first day, for first graders they only got to meet their teacher on that day and then come back the next for the first day of school. He is really excited and so is Brittin. THis year they have teachers that our family has already had before. Kolbryn has Brittin's old teacher and Brittin has Logan's old teacher. I can't wait to hear what the teachers have to say about the kind of students they are. I am still going to be teaching classes after school for sports with my sister, it should be really fun. So I say let the fun begin, not meaning spelling list, book reports, showers, finding shoes, looking in back packs, homework being finished, lunch packed, feelings getting hurt. But the learning kind of fun.

food fight

I teach sunday school for the 12-14 year olds, the only way to get them to listen for a couple of minutes is to bribe them with a party, I give them a big marble if they are good and little marble if they have gotten in trouble and no marble if they are really bad, each kid that is,when the jar gets full, we get a party, well it has taken half a year but they did it. So we decided on a food fight party. The kids and I spent all morning getting food ready and by 2:00 we had it ready. The kids had a great time and so did I. We did a jello toss, nerd spitting contest, mash potato and noodle decoration, a pudding tug of war, a whip cream pie in the face contest, oatmeal relay race, and a flour and water capture the flag game, I loved double dare when I was little and this was our mini double dare game. It was like thanksgiving I spent all morning getting the food ready and with in minutes it was all gone.

Summer in review

yes, summer is over for us. We are in year round school and we are back on track. So I can get my life back on track. But before I start telling how wonderful it is to be kidless I want to remember how fun it was to be with the kids, only the good parts I am willing to remember. First we went to cowabunga bay for Logan's b-day, it was really fun to be with family and wet. I wont remember how cold the wind was when you were on the slides or how much money came out of our pockets to pay for that cold time, I will remember the fast rides and Keelee getting sprayed in the face by her son and not being able to move because she was in line and didn't want to lose her place and how when she was walking up the stairs, the water jets came on and she just stood there getting soaked and trying to turn the thing off, rather than stepping away from the holes. Remember how the kids liked getting a big bucket of water dumped on them and wanting to do it again and again. We also went to cherry hills the next week and had a great time. THe weather was nice and not too busy. THere were 3 moms and 12 kids and none of them got lost or hurt. Those are the things I am going to remember, not the constant fighting of he is setting next to me, I can hear him breath make him stop, I don't want to watch that show, I didn't make that mess why do I have to clean it up, I am bored, you are the worst mom ever, I wish I wasn't in this family, the sun is still awake why do I have to go to bed, can I have a snack. I love my family.
