D has a little owie on his forehead that he was worried about ~
D: I can't play hockey today, my forcehead (forehead) won't let me!
Looking at his place-mat with his name and picture ~
J: Mama, this is my good friend D!
Me: Are you guys excited to play hockey?
J & D: NO!
Me: Well, let's give it a shot.
J: No, Mama, I don't want a shot!

(9/22) Work day for Dad and me and school for the boys. I hit the gym after work and got home at bedtime for littles. D requested just 100 kisses, and JJ wanted 2. They're so silly.

(9/23) Preschool for the twins and me today! Wow, what a difference a week makes. The boys went in, washed their hands, got a mat, and sat down. They said I needed a mat to sit on too, and made sure I behaved myself. They painted, and played, and really seemed to have a good time today. We went home for lunch, and had a nice, relaxing afternoon.

(9/24) Work day for me, and Dad had the boys. C had hockey today, so Dad had to get the boys, then head to the rink, and juggle the three of them there. I went to an event this evening, so stopped briefly by home and then headed out. Dad made Manicotti for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Glad I didn't miss out!

(9/25) Work day for me, school for C, and Dad had the kiddos. Dad treated us to dinner out after I got done. The boys were so good. J is coloring really nicely - he colored in a couple of things on his menu and stayed pretty close to within the lines. They had ice cream for dessert with their meal and were bouncing off the walls by the time they got home... but they were fun!

(9/26) Hockey, hockey, hockey! Allllll day. C had practice at 8a and then the littles started at 10a. Dad took C down for his practice, and then I brought the twins. We got the littles in their uniforms, and they decidedly need more practice on their skates, because even walking to the rink was tough. They both refused to go on the ice, so we let them watch from the side, and then had them sit just inside the door on the ice. J crawled right back off every time, but D stayed out there for a bit. I bribed them with playing Mario on the DS when they got home, so they were rewarded for an attempt at hockey. It took C a number of practices to be comfortable out there, so this was a decent first step. The rest of the day was spent running errands, and then Nanan came to watch the kiddos so we could go to dinner, and hang with friends.

(9/27) Nanan stayed overnight and then watched the boys for me this morning until Grandma & Granddad came to take over for a shift. I "ran" the Bellingham Bay Half Marathon. I haven't run a half since this run last year, so I speed walked the last half. So fun to be out there again. I've missed it! I do admit to spending the rest of the day holding down the couch, while the children ran amok.... Must actually train.
