Sunday update

Can you believe it? I actually said I'd post something on Sunday and I am...shocker!

We had a really good week. All 3 kiddos had swim lessons on Monday. Maya takes hers while the boys are in school. This week, when class started, she was acting shy and telling the teacher she "didn't want to do it." The teacher reminded her that she needed to try. After that she was like a fish. She went under the water 5 times! This is big for her.

Another big thing for Maya this week is her hair. She let me french braid it twice. For some reason she doesn't like her hair messed with. She'd rather look like a caveman! Her hair is so cute when it's combed and done. It only took a bribe of 2 kit-kats and a chocolate chip cookie to get it done!

The boys have been playing better this week. Last week they seemed to be fighting a lot. We've spent the majority of our time this week in the basement. I am trying to get it back to a functional playroom since it flooded a few months ago. I'm sorta happy it flooded b/c it forced me to clean out stuff and get rid of stuff. Today I took 2 car loads of "junk" to goodwill.

Adam has a birthday party this week. This will be the first time that both boys have not been invited. It's kind of sad, but good for them. I really want them to feel like individuals. Adam is super excited about it....and a bit braggy about it, too.

The boys had K.I.S.S. night last week. Kids Invite Someone Special. I went to Jack's class and Chad went to Adam's. Basically we spent an hour in their classroom so they could show us what they do. Chad said Adam was really quiet and watched his classmates. Jack on the other hand was totally different. Jack is "that kid"...you know the loud, outgoing, outspoken....disruptive one. He seems to really like school....once he's there.

In other news....Jack has a loose tooth. His bottom tooth is wiggly, but not ready to come out yet. They seem to young to start loosing teeth. Sorta sad...

Last week, I painted our bathroom, sold our couch and loveseat on craigslist, I ordered the kids annual pictures (yes, grandmas, grandpas and nanas out there...they are coming soon), have the basement almost all cleaned out, ran a half marathon (well, last weekend...), donated lots of stuff, and I washed and vacuumed out my car. So productive!

My camera is on it's last leg, so I may not post anything new for awhile...actually I'll just post some old pictures to keep you entertained...
