Vida Loca

We have a ritual for every night when I get home. First I go into Her Highness' bedroom and tuck her in then we wander up to wake up Z and E for mid night potty break and I go and give A a hug and a smooch. That being a pretty much every night sort of thing, I think A has pretty much trained himself to a be a light sleeper for around the time of night because he is usually hard to wake up. So what do I do with a kid that is a light sleeper when he has lost a tooth and is expecting a monetary gift for said tooth? This is my solution:

Dearest Alexander~
I am sorry I didn't leave your treat under your pillow. Bruce and Abby wanted to play with my wings! :) Congratulations on losing your tooth! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. If you see Santa, please tell him I said hello.

XOXO

I am freaking brilliant. If I was smart I would have put a line in there about brushing and flossing your teeth but hey it was eleven o'clock at night and you are lucky I spelled everything correctly! =)

I cannot believe it is already the 11th of December! I blink and lose yet another day. Yes, last week was our anniversary and what can I say? These last few years have been amazing and I wouldn't trade a single moment. Well, maybe the time I fell down the stairs but really, ouch! =) I have come to think of my husband as one of those chocolates you get in the assorted chocolate boxes. He has a really hard crunchy outside but his has a sweet gooey inside, and he is REALLY good at hiding that gooey inside. =) What can I say, I love him.

Ok gotta get a kid out to the bus, in 17 degree weather. ~sigh~ I love winters in Maine. ~sigh~

I said I wasn't going to cry on the first day of kindergarden AND I didn't, BUT I did tear up a bit. How in the heck did they get to be five and going to school? Sheesh What are they trying to do break my heart? We won't, and I mean WILL NOT discuss the fact that the oldest is talking about joining the N@vy. WILL.NOT.DISCUSS.IT! ~sigh~

Uh he had his shirt on backwards for the pic, I didn't notice until the bus was coming up the hill. That must have made a great impression on the bus driver while he was flipping his shirt around. What? I hadn't have my coffee yet!

Today I sent him to school with a shirt that said, "Troublemaker is my middle name" because I figure the teacher should know what she is in for, especially with two of them in class. AHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!

Looks innocent doesn't he? Don't let that fool you. I sent him to school with a shirt that says, "Monkey see, Monkey do, Monkey get in trouble too." AHAHAHAAA!! I almost, ALMOST feel sorry for the teacher.

"Uh where does the bus think it is doing without me? Come back! Uh Mom, they left without me." Miss G was NOT pleased that they left without her. She took off down the driveway to my car wanting to go somewhere. Let's say that when she realized she wasn't going anywhere she was very displeased.

I did better today, I didn't do a little dance when the bus left with them on it. AHAHAHA!!! I win! Five down, one to go. =)
