catch up blog!

It's been a long long while since I've posted anything. I was at half price books the other day and I picked up a little journal to carry around with me in the hopes that when something amazing happens, I'll remember to jot it down. I used to blog a lot more when I was a myspace fanatic..but I get on there, and I just don't have it in me any more. But right now it's a little after 10 pm, so of course it's quiet in my house :) ahhh..to have the window open and a cool breeze blowing in, just took Bear on a walk..and blogging..that's a nice way to settle down from a busy day with four wild and crazy kids.

I took Mikhail to his kindergarten round up not too long ago, that's one thing I had been meaning to blog about. He thinks it's so cool that he's going to get to go to Daddy's old school. I was sad when we were in the parking lot and I realized that in not even a year, my little boy is going to be getting off the bus all by himself and walking into school like a real big kid. I've been calling him a big kid for so long now, but it's really going to hit me like a ton of bricks on that first day of school. I remember at the kindergarten round up meeting...before the actual round up, they told us that it's ok to walk them to class the first day or two, but they really need to do it themselves..and I was in shock. So walking into the school for his roundup I was imagining him doing it by himself, and it was scary! But he's so excited. Everything about the school excites him, and that makes me happy :) Of course I wasn't with him during the round up. He was in another room with the other kids and I was with the parents. I thought I would be so ethusiastic about the meeting..but yup I was sitting thier in the library bored out of my mind...remembering why I was such a bad student...lol I don't like school too much. But I was really amazed with how much they said the kids would be learing in just thier first year. By the time Mikhail gets to fifth grade I'll have to have google tutor him..because I won't know what he's talking about! I say it jokingly...but I know it's the truth! Then after a while we went into a room that had the one sided window. I could see him, but he could just see a mirror. It was halarious watching him while one of the teachers read a book to him. He did really well..but looking in on him was so wierd..and then it hit me that when he goes to school in the fall he's going to have so many moments during the day that I'm going to miss out on seeing because I'm not there :( and then I realized how grateful I am to have a Husband who thinks it's a good idea for me to stay home with the kids..because up until now, I haven't had to miss out on much! But at the end of the roundup, they gave Mikhail the same old cowboy hat I got when I was little. He thought it was the coolest thing ever. Now every time we drive past the school he ask when he gets to go. He's super excited!

Mady still isn't walking :/ I had to take her for a physical theraphy assesment just two days ago. They said that she definately is delayed in walking, but she won't need any braces or corrective foot ware..which was awesome news to me! I just couldn't picture her in anything like that and being happy. I do however have to take her back once a week for eight weeks or until she walks..whatever comes faster. They said she is just stubborn. She also has weak lower body strength. Part of it is the way she sits in a W. But the PT said she has great upper body strength...I'm just ready to get her walking!

Max is climbing out of the crib ALL the time. I have to put him back in the pack n play now. I originally put him in the crib because Mady kept falling out of it..but he's a pro at getting out of it..and he gets out and throws everything he can find in the room in Mady's bed..and she just cries. One morning Tim and I actually woke up to him walking in our room and laughing. After he threw everything in Mady's bed and threw cotton balls all over the bath room. The kid is such a little stinker. We've decided not to go with baby beds once we move into the new house. There's really no point if they just get out anyways. We'll just have to keep thier rooms super baby proof!

Speaking of moving..we gave our landlord our 30 day notice that we are moving out. Ugh one less thing to worry about. Of course he wanted us to stay..but I can't wait to be in a bigger house! We need the room. There's just a lot of work ahead with moving and painting and everything else..I hope we can get it all done as stress free as possible.

Well I haven't been watching a lot of tv lately..I've been really caught up in the Twilight Saga..and then working on moving and trying to walk at night to lose some of this winter weight..just doesn't leave a lot of room for tv watching..which isn't a bad thing :) But I think tonights going to be a good night to catch up!
