Much to do about nothing..

OK so where to start when you really have nothing of importance to write about. So the last 2 weeks I have been stuck at home with a sick and then two sick kiddos. One that decided to go and get impetigo. What what is that anyway so we have visit our lovely doctor friend yet again and have now been on our fantastic medicine for almost a week. So Brody is slowly and surely getting better.

So we haven't been out much so in turn don't have much to blog about other then the fact that in the last two weeks we have watched Car's the movie at least once if not twice a day as it is one of the only things that makes him sit quietly for any amount of time. As also it is the time of the year that his asthma flairs up so if he does to much he can't breath.

Riley is really loving school. She can't wait to go every morning and if I would let her not eat breakfast and just go whenever she wants she would be there at 6:30am. I have told her over and over that if it is still dark outside the school isn't open and the teachers wont even be there. Her solution is that this just mean that she can be the one to open it. And today since it was the first day Brody could be out we decided it would be fun to go into the school to pick Riley up from her class when her teacher called to her to come she looks up and says "OH MOM this is not the way your supposed to do it. You need to pick me up with the car."

Tomorrow is Riley's first piano lesson with a wonderfully talented sister in our ward. I just hope Riley can sit long enough to actually listen to what she is needing to learn. She asked me tonight if I could go to HEB a local grocery store while she is at piano tomorrow. I asked her why and she goes that way you can be late to pick me up and I can play with wonderful ladies daughter. CRAZY.

So what else have we or I been up to oh I finally got some time to start the down stairs paint or to continue working on it. As so far so good I will post pictures when I am done.

In other news I guess some excitement did happen and I almost forgot. We are having to get our house repainted. AHH you ask didn't you just do that. And I would say oh yes but it wasn't done right and now after a good rain is washing off...... We also got a new computer so I am really sad right now as that is where all ALL my pictures of my kids from last year around September until now are on that computer and there is no way to get them off that I know of so if you have any ideas or now a great computer person please let me know..

Also to all those moms out there that have kids in school or had kids in school how to you be a great school mom. I mean I want to help and be active in my children's school but what is the best way and is there to much? Is there things that any teacher would love and needs? I know that this is crazy but I just don't want to be one of these parents that doesn't know what is going on in school with my kids.

So there you go I will try and gets some pictures and have a more exciting week now that we are back to a more normal state around here.

AND GO...............

So today was Riley's First day of Kindergarten and it was whirlwind of a day.

It started well I might have to go back to last night to get the whole feeling really.

So we get dinner done and father's blessing check so off to bed is next right? So we put Brody and Hyde and Riley all tucked nicely into bed and think oh great I might get to bed early but oh no they had other plans. Brody woke up about 20Min's and had a fever and a nasty runny nose so we give him some medicine and off to bed he goes but not with out waking up Hyde so then he is up NOW all ready to play so he stays up and we try to tire him out and around 9 we think he is ready to go back down so we put him back into bed and go to bed ourselves... Then just as I am getting to sleep Hyde starts to cry and now he has a runny nose and is pulling at his ear and wont let me put him down so I take him into bed with me and that begins one of the LONGEST NIGHTS IN MY LIFE........ We toss and turn and toss some more until the alarm goes off...

6 am up and time to get everyone ready...
We all get dress and the fatigue had nothing on the EXCITEMENT of the day.

Breakfast was another thing no one could eat except for Hyde as he is always game for this activity and it was just way to early for Brody. We I tried to get something down Riley but was only able to get 6 bites in her and I was just very grateful that her lunch is at 10:45.

Then we took pictures and piled everyone into the car thinking we were early leaving at 7:15 when school starts at 7:40. But we where wrong everyone and there dogs and three monkeys where there to drop off there kiddos. So we finally got her into her class and there where parents crying and not wanting to leave until the last second. (and to be honest I would have loved to stay all day not because Riley needed me to be there but I missed her.) But she walked in there like she owned the place walked right up to Ms. Grant and said good morning and then was told to put her things in her cubby and I asked her do you remember where it is she goes of course mom like what are you even thinking about thinking I wouldn't. SORRY. And then it was back to her seat and I helped her put her name tag on and she goes see yeah mom! And that was it. Wow I am do glad she is such a great example to me. She pulls me out of my comfort zone and makes me grow everyday. I am so blessed to get to be her mommy.


So the day went pretty normal playing with the boys and Brody asking the first half of the day where Riley was and then just being happy to point out all of Riley's favorite things like as we were driving today and he goes mommy, mommy, mommy, MOMMY that is Riley's favorite turn it up she dance like this.


My favorite part of the day was after we picked her up and had gotten home I was in the kitchen making dinner and Riley came in and said mom thanks for letting me go to school I am going everyday its so much fun. And then proceeded to tell me everything and I just ate it up, loving every minute.

I am so ready for bed. But know that from now on it is going to be nonstop.

Really? Ok yeah I guess its kindof true.....

With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good!
