September In a Nutshell

Well, September has flown by. The boys have been playing football. They're both quarterbacks and are doing awesome. Brendan has really turned a corner this year and has been a lot more agressive. He comes home happy that he "nailed" someone. I cringe every time I hear the crunch!
All the kids except Brooke have started school so, the days are very quiet. I love the time alone with Brooke but she is so bored. Three o'clock comes quick though.

Here's Erin sporting a new outfit!

And Colin turned 15 on th 24th!

And here's my boy kicking ass at a game!Colin is #10.

Storytime

Brooke started going to storytime at the library and she loved it! She was laughing so hard at the story as the "teacher" was reading. Apparently dogs are hilarious! I was like who is this kid? She was yelling out answers and really had fun. She did end the hour by kicking books because I wouldn't let her take home 6 books but it was fun and we will be going back next week.




This is my final year of Storytime. I feel like everything I do with the last few kids has been "been there, done that" but its weird how the simple things like seeing your kid make a dog puppet can make you happy.

Back To School

Two off to high school, 2 off to elementary school and just one little one home with me. What will I do? Is it wrong of me to be this happy? School is like free babysitting:)

Happy Birthday Auntie Erin!

We love you!
