So much going on. So little time. Here is where I get myself into trouble. I go too long in between my posts and then I totally forget about everything we did in that time span.
There was school starting, of course, and Noisy Man got his own
special post on how mommy had such a hard time letting him go. He is still loving it, thankfully. And mommy is adjusting to having him gone everyday. I said "adjusting" not "liking it". He loves getting to take his own lunch every now and then, running on the track, and reading. It drives mommy nuts that he never remembers the names of the kids he plays with during the day, so I am clueless as to who is getting to play with my boy while I can't.
Poor Miss Firecracker didn't get her own post for her first day of preschool... sorry about that. Mommy, again, cried, but at least made it out of the building before starting the waterworks. Well, I can't really say that. I first shed the tears on the way
to the school, but collected myself and then kept them in until I walked away. She was so ready to go, when I picked her up to give her one last hug goodbye she yelled at me to put her down. I also cried when I went to pick her up. I dropped her off my baby girl and when she came running out of her classroom after a morning of preschool, she looked
so big. I shed a few quiet tears as she ran towards me and gave me a big hug.
I thought Miss Thumb Sucker would be lost without her two older siblings around for 4 mornings per week, but she has barely missed them. I think she is loving having reign of the house and not having someone bossing her around all the time. I was a little worried that she wouldn't play by herself very well if there were times I needed to be getting things done, but I was wrong once again. She is probably the best of the 3 of them at playing by herself. Probably because she never really gets to and loves not having someone take her toys!
Other than school busyness and adjusting to those schedules we really haven't been up to too much. Daddy tried to go on another fishing trip, but the trouble maker he is, got kicked off the lake after 2 days. Seriously. This poor guy rarely ever takes time to himself and when he finally does and plans a nice 4 day fishing trip, he gets sent home. OK, so it was really due to toxic blue green algae levels being so high that they closed the lake to all activities, something rarely ever done, but it sounds better if I say he got kicked out. They were actually having good luck too.
Mommy and Daddy have been having some great times without the kids lately, which is rare. We got to go to the Casting Crowns concert in Lincoln with some good friends, and for a fun weekend away with some other good friends. Both were a lot of fun.
Our weekend away was to Kansas City where we 'scoped' out the new
Schlitterbahn's water park with Daddy's childhood best friend and his wife. We told the kiddos we were checking to see if it was a good place for them to go or not (thankfully, they bought it). We had a blast even though it was a chilly 78 degrees with a cool north breeze. And who knew you could burn to a crisp while you were freezing. Most of us came home with pretty good sunburns.
Daddy and I are convinced we are jinxed when it comes to hotels though. After our catastrophes on our
last hotel stays, we had another couple set backs this time too. The hot tub was only lukewarm which was majorly disappointing after you'd been freezing cold all day
and we didn't have any hot water in our shower in our room. We had to go to another room to shower. Seriously, if you ever go anywhere with us, don't let us book the hotel room. Something is bound to go wrong. :)
We are looking forward to a fun weekend full of apple picking and Husker football!!
