We got the kids up at 5:45. We were in the car and leaving the driveway (for the second time-we barely got out of the drive before realizing we forgot a paci) by 611. We were at covered bridge by like 8am (IN time).
We froze. But we had fun!
So, not its only like four and we are all pooped. I told Derrick that I am ready for dinner and bed! It just seems like it should be MUCH later than it is. We didn't buy much, but did a lot of walking around. And eating. Yum for taco in a bag!
So. She didn’t cheer. But she was there. She is the one on the left of miss Tami. The one sucking her thumb. Yep. That's her. She didn't move. But she got out there, and that the important part.
Side note. Want to know something hilarious? Derrick is volunteering to be the working parent for preschool. His thought is that he can take care of working there much better than he can deal with all my daycare kids. So his working day in November? Its on friendship soup day. So. Every kid at school gets to bring a sibling/friend to school with them. So, he will have DOUBLE the kids at school that day, as well as having Riley AND Chase. I LOVE it. I think that it will be traumatic. And fun. And I will be giggling. Inside.
Riley will be on the Wooly Worm float for the VG homecoming parade on the 23rd. So if you want to come, its at 145 on the 23rd. Her preschool will be in the parade too, so it should be lots of fun. I requested the afternoon off daycare, since its in the middle of nap.
And another side note. Riley's picture is in the VG paper this week for Wooly Worm queen. I think I have all the major player accounted for for copies. But if anyone else is interested let me know, and I will pick up additional copies.
The kids are officially in separate rooms. Which reminds me, I have some pics of Chases room….
The sad thing is that I still have to finish Mack and Mater. I keep telling myself once school is in break, I will have more time. Its just too crazy right now.
Anyway. They are doing great in separate rooms. Which is good. Riley usually spends an hour getting up and down to go potty. But eventually they fall asleep. I think that the change was rougher on her than him. I think that he is just glad he can go in and go to sleep instead of having her play all night long!
Alright. Off to bed….
Riley was crowned the Wooly Worm Queen fro 2009 tonight! So exciting for her! She was so shy that she stood and sucked her thumb the whole time, but she was stinking cute non the less. Now she gets to do all the “queen duties” like riding on the homecoming float! I am really hoping that involving her in things like this, and preschool, will help her to come out of her shell and no be so painfully shy….
Now that i have finally figured out how to upload from my desktop, hopefully it will be a lot easier! I had to change some of my blog settings and then go ahead and make a new folder somewhere. But I did it. And I did it by myself which makes me even happier!
So I know I should have a huge dramatic update. But I don't. Really its just the same old same old. Which is kinda how I prefer it.
We put the carpet in Riley's room last night. Derrick needs to replace the window, and then she is moving in! It makes me so excited, cause its just one step closer to being finished!
Riley is loving preschool. Which reminds me that I forgot to pay her tuition yesterday. Crap. I will have to run that up to the school tonight. Anyway, we think that its more of a mothers morning out type thing, with some learning thrown in, but she is loving it, and ultimately, that's what's important.
Chase is doing good. We had to increase the iron meds not too long ago. Not fun for him, but he seems to be doing better. I just hope that his labs come back better than last time! He is increasing his vocabulary every day and I am pretty sure that he has picked up “oh $h*t” from one of us, since i swear I heard him say it when he dropped his choo-choo this week.
I am back in school semi full time, but online instead of traditional classes. Its really a lot to keep up with, but I am doing okay. I am taking a math class, and a humanities class.
Alright… back to your regularly scheduled programming…
I am taking a break from getting ready for Riley's birthday party. Its almost three, and the party starts at five, and for the first time ever, I have almost everything done well before party time! The kids are still napping, so I am going to catch a quick shower, and get the last minute things (like setting up the table) ready to go!
Its been busy around here. I started back to school. Online only, of course, and its only two classes. But those two classes are really interrupting my scrapbook/Harry Potter reading time! I am lucky that i have naptime during the day to at least catch up on reading and math problems, but its still super crazy!
Riley started preschool. She loves it. Of course. Derrick was the working parent the other day, and he said that she was just kind of off to herself. I figure after playing with ten kids in her house all day long she probably just wants to be alone! I think that this is a good opportunity for her to make some new friends and start learning how to listen to someone besides mommy!
Chase is good. We had to up his iron dosage a couple weeks ago. Hopefully this will do the trick, but I am not sure. There are so many rules and restrictions on when to take, what to take it with, when to go to bed, when to have milk, when to eat. Its really hard to plan the little guys day!
Alright. Off to the shower…. :)
So. I got a new computer. And I can blog straight from my desktop, instead of having to go on the internet and sort through sign ons passwords and uploading photos. Who knew?
I have photos. I have to wait for them to finish copying to my mybook, so I can upload to the new computer….. :)
