Vida Loca

So, things have been rather busy here at Demon Brigade Central. Right now we have a teacher coming twice a week to sit with Z and E to help them get ready for school. They read, do little projects and basically just soak things in. So with that, starting to get the kids ready for school, working and everything else that goes into being a family of 8 we have been rather busy. In all of that we have had time for water balloon fights, quiet time of reading, going to the beach and what not. During all of this some of the things that come out of children's mouths shock and amuse the hell out of Chuck and I.

Z~"Mom, Dad, E won't let me go to sleep because he is following me down the stairs." Huh, if you were in bed, then he wouldn't be following you down the stairs, thus letting you sleep. =)

After nailing his 17 year old brother with a water balloon, Z runs around saying, "I win! I win!! You got owned! You lost to a little kid. I own you!" You see where this is going right? After getting hit with a water balloon by said 17 year old."You cheat!"

E~"Z hit me! He was being rude! He hit me after I threw the toy at him and it really hurt. How rude!"

After getting told not to play with the hose, he is caught playing with the water spigot to fill a water balloon. "But I wasn't playing with the hose Daddy."

G~"E is looking at me!!!" And it starts. Oy! Next she will be mad because he is breathing in her general direction.

The other three have been actually be rather good lately. JD has actually started reading. Ok ok so we had to ground him from everything under the sun to get him to do it but hey, baby steps right?

So, it is starting to hit me that I have: A junior in high school, a seventh grader, a third grader, and two starting kindergarten. Chuck seems to think I will be crying for that first week. Yeah, tears of freaking joy! I might just do flips too. ~heh~five down and one to go! =) ~sigh~ I feel old.
