Good to Know

This girl looks sweet, but trust me.....there's a fire in there and it burns hot.  Tonight, she let me know she was not just "the boss of the little kids, but pretty much the ruler of this house"

Sight for Sore Eyes

You know what you don't expect to see when you turn around at your daughter's soccer practice? Did you guess her 5 year-old brother walking up to you (and a crowd of parents) with his shorts around his ankles, a giant smile on his face, and his Captain America underwear proudly on display saying "Hey! Look what happened to my pants! I need a belt!" ?  If so, you're correct. I certainly did not expect to see that....but, I guess I learned a hard lesson about expectations....and the other parents learned the important lesson that Everett isn't shy about his belief in pants-optional partying.

Fingers Crossed

I just finished all the paperwork to be the assistant coach for Everett's soccer team....here's to hoping the background check doesn't turn up any dark, sordid secrets that even I don't know about.

Week One

Week one of Kindergarten is over.  It consisted of 3 school days, Amelia sneaking away on her bathroom break to go by Everett's class to check on him, and 1 visit to the nurse's office.  Looks like we're well on our way to 2030...

Take 2

Thanks to a staggered start, Everett was back in daycare today.  I'm sure he spent the day telling tales of his adventures in the big leagues.  After a tearful goodbye to the school that helped raise him (from Meggan, not him), he is excited to get back into the swing of Kindergarten tomorrow.  Is there a better way to do that than opening your lunch box to a surprise monkey drawn on your sandwich?? Yeah, I didn't think so either...

Apoc-Eclipse

We spent the day yesterday preparing for the solar eclipse... or an alien invasion....or anything else Iron Man, an angel costume, and eclipse glasses could be needed for...

Hero in Disguise

Meggan turn the corner to the stairs only to be stopped by this man .....

... luckily, he lifted his mask and said "Tricked you. It's just me, Everett!" .  What a relief... we thought a light saber waving, Captain America/Green Lantern robber had broken into our home.
