to school that is... I am feeling a little better because we got a letter this weekend from the kindergarten teacher, and Andrew got into the class we were hoping for. The teacher is a friend of a friend, and that makes me feel better and less meat-grindery about the whole thing. She seems very sweet, and Andrew is pretty psyched that she knows her Transformers, having two sons herself.
Yesterday Liam had his 15 month appointment - where did that time go!??!! And Elaina had her 4 year appointment and got her exam for school and all that.
I love being the mother of school-age kids. It really is fun. I adore babies and all their soft sweetness, but I really like all the logic and reason that come with 4 yr olds and older.
Right now its about 6:30 am and I am sitting in the dark drinking coffee - aahhhhhhh. Andrew woke me up at 6 asking me to please put Liam back to sleep because he was "scweeming"... I was so out of it I didn't hear him on the monitor and it took poor Andrew about 5 tries before I grasped what he was telling me. LOL So I went in and got the baby to go back to sleep for a bit, and Andrew fell back to sleep in my bed. Now I am sitting here hissing at the cat to "Shut the ___ up" because she is sitting at the bedroom door meowing in that horribly loud meow of hers.
Well I will include a few random pics from this weekend since I hate posts that are all text.




That would be Liam, coated in sunblock, making his "beastie face"
