Well now that October is almost done, I think that we are in the swing of things. The kids are in school full time now. Swimming is going really well. Nathan swims like a fish lol.
I find myself wanting to nap or eat or watch tv. I have to find other things to do with our time. Nathan needs to be around other kids, I need to do things. Dustin likes to say things like " well you're home all day", "well it's not like you have alot to do" while both statments are true that doesn't mean I need to be active all day lol.
I have finished all the halloween costumes! Yeah! it took me so long to finish Nathan's; his had alot more work to put into it. All the kids are a theme this year. I know it sounds corney but I think it's kinda fun. They are the Super Mario Brothers and friends. Faith is Mario cause she LOVES him and red is now her favorite color. Clayton is Luigi, I think it's mostly to do with Faith not allowing him to be Mario lol. Plus it's the only other boy. Payton is Princess Peach, although her dress is off white, but she doesn't care. Beta can't guess who Nathan is??? Bowser, although Bowser wasn't called Bowser until later verisions of the game. But it's the only name the kids know him by. If you ask Nathan he will say monster bowser mario.
So now all I have to do is make about 4 patches of cookies and we're good to go.

Swimming
So none of the kids wanted to do anything this year. They didn't want gymnastics classes, ballet, soccer, nothing. So I put them in swimming. Normally we do it during the summer for two weeks straight. But this summer we were actually busy! I know I was surprised too LOL.
Nathan and I have to go together, just because he's to little to swim on his own. He loves jumping in the pool. I told him Nathan you have to close your mouth. He'd shut his eyes really tight open his mouth and laugh hysterically. Then he'd leap off the side and I dunk him under he'd come up coughing but wanting to do it again. So away we go. It's too funny you can tell who are first time moms. They carefully put their baby in the water and move around slowly.
Payton and Clayton are in the same class. They had a good time. Although I HATE it when there are toys all around the pool. They get distracted and want to play. All they do is talk and talk and talk to their instructor. Good thing there are only 4 kids in the class. But they said they had fun and Payton keeps asking when she can go back.
Faith is in class all by herself and I don't have to bring anyone else with me. She likes swimming and I think once she can "swim" she'll love the water as much as I do. She keeps saying though that she needs googles. But I asked her to try without them, she seemed to do fine. She hates rinsing off. Next week we will see if everyone still likes it.

Birthdays
Well my babies turned 5 yesterday. Wow has it been that long since I've felt them moving around and kicking each other?
At school they get to be the chef for the day. I'm glad I put them in separate classes, they can both enjoy being in charge without fighting with the other one. Each kid in their class made them their own cards. They got to make crowns for them to wear.
I made cupcakes for everyone and while not everyone eat one the twins still enjoyed sharing them. They are so cute! We had a late supper and ate almost all of the cake. It was a fish bowl and they seemed to really like it. Faith had a hard time NOT being the center of attention. She was demanding this and that and the other thing. Every irratating.
They now want to go to build-a-bear and get their very own bears. They both got lego. Payton got pink lego so I think that went over really well with her. They both got a maze and tracing book. I think Clayton will be the one to do most of those lol.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABIES!

Anniversary
So on wednesday was my 9th year anniversary. Wow can't believe it's been that long. It was september 2000 when I walked down the isle, 100lbs lighter, 9 years younger, kidless and dogless. If I could go back now what would I say to my younger self??? Don't take that job? Don't be friends with that person? Pluck those eyebrows before the wedding pictures?
Dustin and I were young when we meet. It was September on our way to army cadets for the first night of a new year. All young and fancy free. I was 15 and he was 16.
Dustin actually surprised me with a babysitter I didn't have to call and arrange, dinner and a movie. I was alittle shocked when it was the cheap seats, but it was the only one playing the new Star Trek movie. We went to Boston Pizza afterwards. Of course the bomber game was on and they lost again, so the mood of the restuarant wasn't that great.
It's nice to get away sometimes and not have to feed the kids. The movie was good, dinner was good. Next year is 10 years married.... I wonder what he'll do? I have told him its about time I had a family ring since we're not adding any more kids to the family.

New School Year
So I new school year is in infancy stage. Faith is in grade 3 and now has to learn the english language. I've always said she's very linguistic so it doesn't surprise me that she got all her spelling words right. She tries to sound them out but we all know the english language doesn't always work that way. She keeps saying but I don't know english, I don't know the words. She goes to a french school and we speak english at home. She'll be fine, I have no worries about her.
Clayton and Payton are in separate classes. There are only 4 girls, so 2 in each class. There are mostly boys in kindergarten this year. They both made a friend on their first day, but they don't know their names lol. I walked them to the bus stop and waved as they got on. Faith helped them to find their teachers. They didn't see each other all day. I really think this will be good for them to be separate. When they got home I asked if they had fun. Clayton says no, as he's got a crown on his head with his name on it lol. Payton said she only remembers the eating and playing dress up parts lol.
Nathan does not start pre-school this year. He was suppose to but he refuses to potty train. So mom is home with him. He hasn't driven my nuts yet. He can sure talk though. He's always got something to say. When we walked the other kids to the bus he had to have his little backpack on as well. He puts his little snack in there and away he goes. The only way I can get him to come home is by saying lets go eat your snack.
They have stagered entry here. So Faith goes every day but the twins have only gone every other day. Soon they will be gone every day all day. Good thing Nathan and I have plans so I think he'd be bored with me.

Ugh Seriously
O.K. I admit it.... when out walking the dog yesterday with the kids.... I did my best to kill each and every mosquito that landed on me. I looked like a murder victim...seriously. Just think they actually fogged the night before that. How is that possible??? Normally we get mosquitoes all summer long but because of the rain I think we've gotten all summers worth of mosquitoes in one week. They are SO bad its ridiciously already.
My kids are COVERED in bites and they had repellent on. I think they need to fog again or we'll have mosquitoes flying around when the snow comes.
Did you know??? SCHOOL STARTS THIS WEEK!!! BOOYA!

What Summer We Had Is Almost Over
Here are a few pictures of our summer
Wow, summer is almost over. We're only had a few nice days this summer and most of them have been in Sept. Only a few more days and it's back to making lunches every day, homework and getting up in time to be ready for the bus. All but one of my kids will be in school full time this year.... wow it's going to be a really long winter I think.
This summer was a good summer even if it rained for 90% of the time. We went on minivacations, and we got to spend sometime with family.
