You Can Dance If You Want To

Me: Everyone gets to go to school this morning! Even Mama. Mama's going to be teaching today.
D: And Mama, you don't want to dance.

Me: Just what you always wanted; a JJ on your head!

C: Not specifically.

D: The fork will save the day!

Me: You have crazy hair today.

D: No, it's brown. And busy.

D: I'm not a big boy anymore!  I have no pees!  (commence dramatic fake crying)

Me: 1....2....
J: No Mama, I four! 

(9/15) Work day for Dad & me, school for C, and Amanda had the littles.  D told her that they needed to go to the Haggen store get groceries, to Safeway to get jello, and then to McDonald's for chicken nuggets.  He has a busy day planned out. I'm surprised he didn't throw Winco in there for the grocery store trifecta, or "the Fred Meyer" (I love the "the" in front).  

(9/16) Today was the first day of preschool for the little men.  J was surprisingly shy. He complained of a headache later, so maybe he wasn't feeling quite 100%.  D fell apart when their teacher told them they didn't have to be in the sibling room, which is where they used to hang out when they went to school.  Sitting / following directions proved to be a challenge.  But it's preschool. There's time to learn all that.  D was mortified that I danced along to the songs, in my attempt to coax them into joining us. I'm not that bad of a dancer!  Sheesh.  All in all, it went okay. 

(9/17) Work day for Dad and me, school for C, and Amanda had the boys.  C had hockey slated for right when I get off work, so Dad took him and the littles.  I hit the gym on my way home and got home in time to kiss little heads before they went to sleep.

(9/18) Work day from home for me, school for C, and Dad had training again today, so the twins went to Amanda's.  They were very concerned that C didn't go with them today.  C doesn't quite need the same monitoring that they do though.  

(9/19) C had hockey this morning, and I took the littles to the gym with me.  After the gym, we got cleaned up and headed out to attend my nephew's second birthday.  The littles love his house with all the toys, and today was no exception.  They played with all the kids and ate lots of sugar.  C went to a back to school party today with Dad.  Dad bought him cotton candy.  I felt bad for the babysitter tonight, but she said they went down okay.  Shew!

(9/20) C woke up feeling awful, so we stayed home from hockey practice.  We spent the day grouching at each other.  The littles were terrors and it was definitely a 'counting the minutes until bedtime' type of day.  J took a long nap in the middle of the day, so was up predictably late into the night.  Tomorrow should be fun.

It's Monday.

(9/21) Work day for Dad & me, and school for the kiddos.  Sounds like preschool went pretty well for the littles.  Amanda said they zonked out afterwards.  Preschool is hard work!  D says school is exciting, and J says he'd rather stay home and watch TV.  Getting up in the morning is tough (see above)!
