James is wearing his football uniform. His team just finished the regular season 10-0. They are the number one seed heading into the post season. Very exciting. His 12th (gulp) birthday is November 11th. I am taking him to see Phantom of the Opera on 11/9. He has been talking about it. The final straw was when he left the Performing Arts Center window up on my work computer with a note saying that this "looks cool". Hint, hint, huh? James just finished his first quarter of middle school and kicked some serious butt. He is taking three periods of Gifted, Advanced Math, Band, and Reading. What a smarty pants. Obviously intellect is not hereditary since he is significantly smarter than his parents.
Riley is ObiWan Kenobi. He looks too freakin' cute! He was on the announcements at school this morning in his costume for having read 2oo books so far this school year. What a hoot! He asked if he can eat candy for dinner tonight. Umm... that would be a NO! He is loving the cooler weather. Oh... and he has a MASSIVE crush on his teacher. She can do no wrong in his eyes. Talk about sweet. Riley just finished his first season of flag football. His team didn't win a game, but they had a blast. He LOVES his trophy. He has it displayed next to his pet hamster, Schnicklefritz's home. He wants to make sure his little buddy can see it at all times. He is one funny fellow.
Madeline is a princess. Ummm... well... hmmm.... We shall see. She picked out the costume but really is a non-conformist like her mother. I have a sinking feeling she will be outside tonight in her candy corn shirt, jeans and sparkly princess shoes without a princess costume. Madeline will turn three next Wednesday. Talk about breaking a Mama's heart. How on Earth did we get to this point. It is just overwhelming. She is too darn smart, too. She knows her colors, counts past ten, recognizes several letters, has an opinion on EVERYTHING and sings, sings, sings. She knows the days of the week in English and Spanish... she can also count in Spanish. Her teacher at school is bilingual and teaches the kids both languages. What a sponge!
Jerry is being ever patient with all of my drama. He is a good guy. (Don't tell him I said that or I will deny it.)
I am revving up for surgery on November 21st. I am sooooo ready to get this over with. I am looking forward to feeling better.
Enjoy the weekend with your family. We will be coming down from a sugar high.
Kisses!
