Between the Screams

Yahoo soccer cancelled again.

Strange that I wished that but oh yes, it was a good thing for today. Now, I really don't want any more soccer to be cancelled for the rest of the season. All conflicts averted so game on!

It is Spring in Kansas--and what could that mean but thunderstorms and tornado warnings. Last night there was one child up every hour all night long. Momma is sleepy. How Keith does not participate in the evening escapades I do not know.

Today Carson and Harper and I took Davis to school and came home to make food to take to church and get some things together for a fundraiser that is tomorrow night, then we got Davis went to church for our last Mom's group meeting of the year, and my last meeting as co-leader. Wow those two years went fast! We came home and regrouped and got ready for our pre-op tour of Children's Mercy. Davis did great and seems to be OK with the idea of surgery. Afterward we went to Peachwave for a "treat". I wish I had taken a pic of the yogurt "cup" or mound that Davis created. It was scary looking and he was so pleased with himself.

Now all the peeps are in bed and poker is in my basement...oh yes, the weekly poker night. It would take a tornado to stop it...and no I am not asking for one.

Fingers crossed everyone sleeps tonight!

Blog much?

Today is May 11th. I have not blogged anything since the 3rd. In fact I have barely taken any pictures (gasp!). But rest assured this is not because I have been sitting around doing nothing (insane laugh). So...what have we been up to you wonder. Well--here we go...

May 3 -Teacher Appreciation Week at Morse! We did something fun every day this week for our awesome teacher. Carson had his first soccer practice and I missed it. I was sad to miss it and now I don't have a clue why I couldn't go...seemed important at the time.

May 4 -Early release at Morse, went to the park with Davis' class. Lots of fun and we made a super fun surprise for his teacher too! Soccer for Davis.

May 5 -Soccer and dinner out with the preschool board--it was Cinco de Mayo after all!

May 6 - Thursday used to be "Keith's day off" but alas Keith worked much of Thursday.....becoming the norm I think...and the boys had swim lessons...I am pretty sure we did something else after that but I have blocked it from my memory I guess. Went to RA for sushi.

May 7 - Davis had an eye appointment. Had is eyes dilated (it was funny) and then we got his surgery scheduled for the 25th. Thank you Kris for watching the other kids! Then Patricia and I made a few (120 or so) rice krispie wands. We are crazy. Keith's parents came to visit for the weekend.

May 8 - Davis has a soccer game and birthday parties for Ashley, Jessica and Lauren. My boys like the ladies ;-)

May 9 - Mother's Day and Betty's Birthday. I pretty much worked on getting caught up on projects I had due the next day. What I really need to do is finish the half done thank you cards from the kids birthdays....the April birthdays....

May 10 - RAIN--Yahoo soccer was cancelled! We had a memorial service to attend for a father of one Keith's friends, great man and wonderful service. So glad we didn't have to leave early to go to soccer and big thanks to JeniChuck for kid watching so we could attend.

May 11 - Carson's last day of preschool (for the year, not forever...one more year until I am all sad and crazy about that one)! Need to fix washing machine...I think it is as tired of washing the clothes as I am of loading and unloading and putting away only to find that my kids got them all out and stirred them around in their room like a big meaty stew. Ugh. The boys are messy!

Well...must keep working on getting ready for tomorrow. It is beautiful out today.

I think that about catches us up with the day to day around here. More to come...maybe even pictures....

The Dragons!

Carson had his first practice tonight for his spring soccer season and I think he enjoyed it. I am incredibly sad to have missed it. The first practice is the funnest--getting jersey's and picking a name. I think the movie "How to Train your Dragon" is pretty popular these days, what do you think? Davis was unable to get it together (shocking) so it was either be late (Keith is coaching) or stay with him. I was hoping it would teach him a lesson...but not so much. He was sad for a few minutes and then went back to being lost in his own little world. So frustrating. Harper and I planted flowers instead. I guess other than mulching in the flower beds we are done. I suppose it is nice to have that done.

I hope to make it to Wednesday's practice and will have some pictures then. Fingers crossed for all little people to cooperate. I don't know how large families do it....
