Busy, busy, busy. Life just seems to increase in speed and demands. I find I have to make deliberate, difficult efforts to slow things down and keep the sanity in my family's life. I don't want to miss a minute of my kid's life. I am amazed, amused, and humbled by them every minute of every day. Oh what joy, my little, growing ever bigger, joy boys are! With that said, homeowork has increased greatly this year. Sam has some for the first time, and Max being in third grade...it is the year of leaps in the amount of homework assigned. We knew that in advance and so were prepared, which helps. I do have to give hoo-hoo's to my boys in the fact that they are great about doing homework. They don't fuss much about that and like to get it done and out of the way. Max likes to do even the assignments that aren't daily and have to be done by the next day to turn in, but aren't due til Friday. He likes to get it out of the way as I said earlier. This makes things much easier! What a helper! (Not that we don't have other things that we fuss about. They are still kids;))
Anyway,things are busy, but rolling. Some of the funny things they are into are "Angry Orange" and "Nannerpuss". You can google them on computer and see how annoying these short shows are. But....the kids love them. Sam likes to sing, "I came into the kitchen like a berry on a mission!" and sing beat box background sounds. Durng Max's karate class he always has to go to the bathroom and takes forever. The whole time Sam is in there he sings loudly and gives the class, Mr. Lance and all the parents a show. Ooooh Sam.
Max was talking about a girl in his class and I asked if she was nice and he said, "Yes, She represents Zarrow well." He also likes to say that things, (even cows on the side of the road) look European...get it, You are peeing! His new joke he uses a lot.
Soo, yes they boys keep me on my toes and laughing. Max is going to be Luigi for Halloween since his cousin Sawyer is going to be Mario. Sam wanted to be a Warewolf, but couldn't find a costume his size (still little)so is going to be a mummy. He is still obsessed with his much loved and admired Halloween decorations. He loves anything gross and scary. Max does not! He had nightmares after looking for a costume because was scared by some of them. Sam's dreams are Max's nightmares.
I have been running, believe it or not. Doing the couch potato to 5k app on Iphone. Love it. Worried that with the cold weather and shorter days I won't be able to get it done and continue. I haven't lost weight yet after 6 or 7 weeks, but feel better. Now to work on giving up pop and eating better. Sigh!
Well, I guess that is all I can think of to catch up. Better go wrangle the wild boys! Love to all. His love and mine. Din
