Soccer Time!

Today the kids had their first games of the season. They played at the same time (as they will almost every time), 4 fields apart, so Mick and I split time b/w watching both kids.

Justin was much more into it this year. He paid attention and wasn't afraid to get into the mix. And he had fun.















And Sarah. Well, let's just Sarah that Sarah really likes going after the ball. She was in the middle of the action constantly. She was at the bottom of a pile of player several times. Ahe would steal the ball and just go with it even when the game was not happening. She loved it. But, she was very sad towards the end and told me "I can't always steal the ball. I keep trying, but it doesn't always work." Poor kid is so competitive. Hopefully this helps to stop some of that cause it is very annoying.











And yes, that is her with her arm around that boy trying to hold him back. So stinkin funny. I love that her soccer personality is so opposite from her normal personality with a bunch of kids. Hilarious!

Another Lost Tooth!

And what a story!

It was bedtime and Justin had just finished going potty. I went into the bathroom and was taking off his shirt. All of a sudden he started SCREAMING (meanwhile Sarah was already sleeping- yikes!) "Where's my tooth! You pulled out my tooth!" I had no clue what he was even talking about, but sure enough there was tons of blood coming out of his mouth. I looked everywhere for the tooth, couldn't find. Tried shaking out his shirt, looking in the potty. Nothing. Crud. Justin's still screaming and he's freaking b/c of all the bloood. Mick comes in and blames me for pulling out his tooth since Justin said that. I DID NOT PULL OUT HIS TOOTH! It had been hanging on crooked for weeks on and must have gotten cuaght on his shirt and out it came! Well, I went on duty of stopping the blood while Mick went and found the tooth on the floor.

Not the way we thought it would go down, but it is out. That makes Tooth #4. And tooth #5 is even looser than this one was. But it is wedged in so it's staying put longer. This one had been all on it's own. Actually for the past 3 weeks or so I would just watch this tooth every time he talked to me and I would giggle. I felt bad, but I couldn't help it. It was so funny, hanging off to the side.

And After:
(It was bedtime so I wrote the note instead of keeping him up later. lol)









Oh, and he was SO upset that he couldn't run in and tell Sarah but she was already asleep. But he will want to wake her early. Yikes.

Of course, now I LOVE listening to him talk with his new lisp. SO CUTE!!!! I definitely need to take some video of it.

Sarah's Open House

It wasn't really her first day, but it was fun. She went to school with me for her open house this morning. It was just a 1/2 hour, from 9:30-10, but she had a BLAST playing and playing and playing. I was glad to see that she will not only be with Lexi again, but also with Emmy and Ava. That should help her if was gonna have any transition issues, although I don't think she was going to. This year she has Ms Reena. I was sad to see that Ms Robin isn't there on Weds this year though.

Here's my baby this morning:

My First Grader

My boy started First Grade today and he loved it! He loved recess in the park instead of in the kindergarten pen. He loved it all. But his favorite part was keeping his cubes and filling up the buddy bucket or whatever the reward thing is called. So funny!











Sarah, meanwhile, spent the day sobbing that her day was awful because she didin't start school yet!

Oh, and a Justin funny. Wehn we got to school, Mrs Chmiel was in the lobby greteing the kids with Mrs R and Mrs Gervais. She made a fuss over Justin and he ran right up to her and asked "Are you going to be here next year?" (As if it's her decision only. Ackward!!) "Because Sarah really wants to have you next year for Kindergarten!" So funny!

Young attraction

Just overheard from my living room:

Justin: I love Tinkerbell (the movie.) I don't know why. I think it's something about one of the girl's dresses.
