Ho-Hum

It's been a Ho-Hum sort of day. It's been just a run-of-the-mill, everyday life, day-in day-out kind of day....like most are. But, I really like run-of-the-mill so I'm ok with that. However run-of-the-mill doesn't make good blogging material. I'm blogging only because I'm still committed to this everyday thing and this is a post that only grandparents will find interesting...and that is a stretch. :) That's ok though. Mostly I blog for myself for memories sake. Here is the run down of the day:

1. Aiden and I did preschool this morning. The subject matter was patterns. He gets it.

2. At breakfast I discovered that Aiden knew more about Moses than I thought...he must be listening to something being said at Cubbies and Sunday school. Tom rented The Prince of Egypt and they watched it while I was at work. I love that movie so I'm hoping to have a chance to watch it soon.

3. Sage took a bottle from Tom. While I was gone (for 3 hours) Tom said Sage was getting a bit grumpy and Tom didn't want to wait til he was desperate to try out the bottle. It took awhile but Sage caught on. Even though I cried when I got home, I think it was a bonding moment for Tom and Sage. Sage was pretty happy to see me so that made me feel a bit better. And even though I was a little sad about him getting a bottle, I'm happy that he will take one. It takes the pressure off a little. I still have no intention of being away from him for hours, and I would only leave him with Grandparents, but it's nice to know that he won't starve to death if something happened to me.

4. Since seeing the Musical Llama Llama, Aiden's life has been lived in song and dance. He answers me in song and tells me stories in song. What cracks me up is that his songs have a very "Broadway-ish" rhythm. I wasn't sure if he understood the whole production of Llama Llama because it was somewhat different than the book, but he definitely absorbed the flavor of the whole experience. I want to try and get his antics on camera because it is just so funny.

5. Aiden's love language is quality time. Hands down. No question about it. If you devote your day to him (or at least several chunks of your day) he's on cloud nine.

6. I need to find a work from home job. Maybe I should write a book. My job is fine for now, but 3 hours a week seems silly. I do like the family I work for right now, so that's a plus...especially on days like today when my client was grumpy. But overall I'm really bored with it.

7. Sage will mimic the sound "goo!" It's VERY cute. He's probably a genius. He is also working on try to purse his lips together. I just love that little boy. I learned that Sage does not like chili with jalapeno peppers in it. Who knew? It was a long 24 hours with a grumpy baby.

8. That sums it up. Something better tomorrow...I promise. I'll even try for pictures. :)

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away. 

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
