What a day! I got up this morning and had to shower first thing (that doesn't happen much anymore), feed the boys and got them ready and ate a quick bowl of cereal while standing by the counter on my way out the door. I had the oppertunity to be parent helper in Anthany's French kindergarten classroom, thank goodness I recall some of the french I learned in elementery school or I would have been totally lost. The kids are so cute and they understand so much for it only being their first year of this new language. There was a little girl explaining to the class about a picture she drew. She started talking about what was in the picture then when she got to the part about what they were going to do for the parents on the last day of school, without a beat be looked at me and said,"can you please plug your ears" and then kept on talking.
When the kids sat down to eat their lunch I had to Drive home pick up Atley and take him to preschool eating my lunch while I drove. By the time I got back to Anthany's class lunch was finished but they did save me a cupcake that on of the moms brought for her childs birthday. I think they should have nap time in kindergarten. By the time 2:30 came alone I wanted to find a quiet corner and go to sleep. When school was out we went and picked up Atley from preschool and ran some erronds before going home and having a snack and getting ready for soccer. Me and the boys ate our supper on the way to soccer and by this time I really just wanted to sit down at the table and have a nice meal, oh well there is always tomorrow.
Three and four year old soccer is so cute. They run in a mob around the field and if one of them falls they all fall on top. by the time the first shift is over there are usually a few kids sitting or laying in various parts of the field picking flowers, studying grass or visiting with each other. I think it was their 4th game tonight and the ball was handled with their hand almost as much as it was with their feet. Only in 3 and 4 year old soccer can a kid kick the ball to the net, pick it up so no one else gets it, puts it back down, kicks it and scores and everyone cheers. So funny.
Anthany had come to the game with us and was playing at the play ground with his friends while I watched Atley play. Every once in awhile I would look over to the playground and see if I could see him. One time I had been looking for awhile and hadn't found him yet so I stood up to look and still couldn't find him. I was about to go over there when one of the kids that were playing in the sand moved over and I saw only Anthany's head sticking out of the sand. Yep that would be my kid getting really really dirty. Oh well that was definatly one way to keep the mosquitos off of him.
Wow, just now the dishwasher finished and the fridge stopped buzzing and holy cow it is quiet in here. Ahh blessed silence.... Ya know I am just kinda wondering how come I am the one up so late cleaning up the house when I was barely home today??? My sisters step kid drew a picture for her of everyone in their house in bed except for her. When she asked him about it he said, "well everyone goes to bed except you, you stay up and clean". I don't know about anyone elses but that is what happends in my house aswell.
Ya know how kids can just drive you crazy to the point that you want to hang them by their toe nails from the ceiling? Well doesn't matter how crazy my house gets the cuteness factor always overrides it. Today the boys were playing hide and seek and Anthany got stuck under the bed downstairs. Atley came running up stairs and said, mom can you come? Anthany is stuck under the bed." I told him I would be right down to help him out. Befor I even got down there Atley came running back up the stairs with a huge grin on his face and he was even kinda giddy. He Said," mom he's unstuck. He was stuck under the bed but I went back down there and he was unstuck." Then as he was walking away he still had the huge grin and he said," That is sunny (funny)hey, Ya that's mazing (amazing). Atley is so adorable, it is really hard to give him heck especially when he flashes his smile. One time he was being loud and causing a bit of trouble at Superstore, he was sitting in the front of the cart so he couldn't go anywhere. As we were on our way out the door he saw still squirming and talking quite loudly. Them he saw an older an older lady sitting by the door and he instantly sat still was quiet then looked at her, tipped his head sideways just a bit and said in his cute little drawn out angel voice," Hi!". You may have actually had to hear the voice for the cuteness factor to work. But trust me on this one, IT WAS CUTE.
I have half the van packed, I am taking the two younger boys and heading to Saskatoon tomorrow for a wedding. I am looking forward to visiting with the family. Hopefully I will come back with some good stories to tell.
