Catching up...

I thought things might slow down once two of the kids went back to school. I underestimated the amount of energy two four-year olds have and how it can expand to fill each and every available space!

Caleb and Price headed off to 4th and 1st grade respectively this week. They were very excited; they had met their teachers the week before and they obviously saw a lot they like. Price sported a lovely black eye with a scabbed wound above it from a skateboard incident over the weekend (on daddy's watch I might add and without the helmet we have asked the kids to wear over and over...). Caleb has been in a great mood all week so I know he is feeling very comfortable. Price had been acting a bit full of himself but was before school started so not much change there. They both had a great week.

I have spent the past few days balancing entertaining Brynn and Evan and making travel arrangements to China with the need to do a "Clean Sweep" of my house... four years of neglected cabinets and closets have made opening doors in the house hazardous and I know that the next few months will be quite chaotic in our house.

Brynn and Evan start preschool next week and Brynn asks me several times a day if the next day is a preschool day. Evan doesn't ask. He had a hard time this week adjusting to the boys being gone. School and soccer will be good for him.
