Kid Comedy

Dude - The day before school started Dude was playing with his friends.  When it was time to come in he said, "Gotta go, see you at the funeral."  One of his friends asked "What funeral?"  Dude replied, "For summer.  He was a good friend, so sad. I'm really going to miss him!"  His friends older brother replied, "Well played, Dude, well played."

Megaman - Megaman was playing with a toy figure.  He asked me what character he was playing with.  I had no idea and told him so.  He replied, " But mom, you know everything!"  Just keep thinking that Megaman!
                We were playing at the park yesterday when it was time for another little boy to leave.  His mom hollered at him that they had to go.  The little boy said, "I aint going nowhere!" Megaman looked up, shocked at the reaction.  Then you could see the wheels turn.  The boy's mom let them play longer.  When it came time for us to go, Megaman shouted, "I'm not going anywhere!" (I love that he corrected the grammar)  I completely ignored it and started walking to the car.  After taking about 5 steps, Megaman groaned loudly and said, "Alright, I'm coming."  Love it.

House Progress

We are building again!  Doctor had loved drawing house plans for as long as he can remember.  He designed a beautiful home and we are really enjoying watching it come together.  So far we have the basement and a portion of the main level framed.  We had a summer of little to no rain so of course as soon as we start framing we have a downpour today. ;-)  Oh well.

Time for School!

The kids started their new schools last Thursday.

Dude is in 5th grade now, wow! And in our new town that means, MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!! So crazy. He has a locker and changes classes, the whole nine yards. He has been doing great and I'm really proud of him. I even got a note yesterday from his math teacher that said he is the most polite student she has ever had!

Honey Bunch started 1st grade. She had to pose for the picture! She is very social and she can't wait to run out the door for school so she can be with her friends.

Princess is in Third grade. She came home after the second day and told me that she had the best news. She was chosen to be the teacher's helper. She goes to her classroom early to help the teacher get ready for the day.

Megaman has to wait a another week for preschool, stay tuned.....

I Know I Know

I know that I haven't kept up with my blog.  I neglected it mostly because I didn't need one more thing on my plate.  I admit the last few weeks things have settled down, but the thought of trying to catch up was too overwhelming.  So much has happened since April, so many great things.  Maybe I will catch up and tell you about the amazing visit we had when my mom came in May.  And Megaman's 4th birthday.  And Honey Bunch's adorable music program.  And Princess' class play where she was the best crow ever.  And Dude's 4th grade field day.  And our fun trip to Idaho Falls to see my wonderful grandparents.  And our "happened too fast" trip to Boise. Our whirlwind visit in Salt Lake. And our move. Maybe I will, but forgive me if I don't.  I'm going to start fresh.
