Ace, the Cherub Warrior

Ace got fitted for his costume yesterday at ballet. I think I mentioned before that we don’t have to buy costumes but we do have to pay a performance fee which goes toward renting the facilities for the performance they are in.

Anyway, pre-ballet 1 students are Cherubs but Ace is a boy so he’s a Cherub Warrior. He was so funny. While the girls were all getting their costumes, he announces, “I don’t wear a dress, ‘cuz I’m a boy!” He looked “so, so handsome” as Zoe said.

I’m a little nervous now, because apparently, there will be one or possibly two boys on stage with Ace as cherub warriors. And Ace has announced that he is going to fight with his sword on stage (we’ve gotten past wanting to be the lead, now this). I tried to explain to him today that he would have a sword but he didn’t need to fight anyone because there were no mean guys on stage. Now, are you getting my drift??? Ace will have a sword on stage as will the other boys (who will be close to Ace’s age)…I’m sensing a nice little sparing match going on! Agghh! We’ll be asked never to come back…this should be interesting. I’ll be sure to get pictures should a battle erupt!

Let’s Go for a Ride

Our neighbor!




Let’s just say, yesterday was not the happiest day in the world for me. Luckily, our neighbor came by with his two girls and offered to take Zoe out riding on her bike. While that was great for Zoe, I was left with two very sad little boys. Mark soon came home, however, and took them out with the girls. They all had fun. Mark and I are getting such a kick out of Liam pushing his trike…he refuses to ride it!

Lovely Leaves

Okay, we have two big…strike that…huge oaks in our front yard. We delay raking the leaves every fall until each and every leaf has fallen from the tree. That has finally happened, so Mark took advantage of the good weather this past weekend and started raking. He had lots of help.

Way to Go Grace

This is what my mom said when I frequently took a dive or bumped into something. And this is all I could think when I went sailing through the church hall on Sunday. Actually, it was a little foyer.

I was chasing after Liam to take him back to class (he comes in to worship with us during the singing part). My shoes hit the slick concrete and I did a beautiful baseball player slide into the door going into the sanctuary hall. On my way down, my cheek collided with Liam’s head and I took him down too.

No broken bones…just very sore. My shoulder is sore from where I caught myself. My thigh is very bruised from where I landed. Somehow my other leg is a little sore too…not sure what that is from.

I was also praising God that no one saw me…it would have been very embarrassing!

I’m just not young anymore.

Big Girl

Last night, Zoe told me her tooth was hurting her when she brushed. We knew it was getting loose because the dental dude noticed it at her last dentist visit. So, I tried to wiggle the one she said hurt. But, it didn’t budge. The one next to it, however, did! Aggghhh! I’ll take boogies and bloody knees over teeth or feet. Yuck. Besides that, my little girl is growing up.

My mom and Mark both remarked that she was too young to loose a tooth. I reminded my mom that my pre-k pics were of me with a big toothless smile. Oh yeah, she’s at that age isn’t she.

Because…

Mark took Ace out for some father/son time on Friday. Ace has attitude problems. He’s very negative and he can get in fits really easy. So, they had some heart to heart time. Mark continued to talk to him about why he should obey mommy & daddy and that he have to discipline him when he doesn’t. He talked to him about using his noodle to think things through. So, on the way home Mark asked him why we told him to obey us.

“Because you wuv me.”

Mark’s heart melted!

We’re Here Still!

I’m sorry I haven’t posted. Today has been one of few days where I could actually see out of my eye. All of us are still sick and I am about done with my antibiotic. I’ve got eye drops that I have to put in every hour (or when I remember). I’ve been sewing like crazy getting some baby gifts ready and some burp cloths ready to sell! Took Zoe to see Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus 3D concert. Mark took Ace to have some father/son time…that kept him up to speed for about 3 minutes. Now we’re working around the house to get this and that done.

Oh yeah, Freddie the fish is still amongst the living. He was spotted by one of the cats on Thursday. I laughed at poor Champ because it took him a week to realize there was a fish there. I guess he’s forgotten about him because he’s not trying to figure out away to get to him.

Pictures to come!!!

A Brief Update

Sorry I haven’t posted in so long…for anyone interested. All and I do mean ALL of us have a cold. It started with me…went to Liam…then to Mark…then to Josiah…and now to Zoe and Ace who seem to have gotten it at the same time. To top that off, I think I have some kind of pink eye thing going. Not sure but it hurts and has gotten better with a little bit of antibiotic. Liam and I are heading into sinus infection stage. Mark is getting over it and Josiah seems to not really have it very seriously (yea breastfeeding!!). To add to our colds, the temp today is in the upper 60s!!!

I’m still attempting 3 trips to the gym but it still ain’t happenin’ so I’m trying to be content with two and working my tail off at those two trips!

Not much else going on.

If you see me on the road, be patient, I can’t see very well 🙂
