Whatever

Last weekend Elyse and I went to the coastal cleanup down at Dauphin Island. It was a really nice day. The beach was beautiful. I'd say that Elyse picked up more shells than she did trash, but we did our fair shar of work too.

Zane has started Taekwando. He's done 2 weeks now and is doing well. He's super cute especially while doing the kicks. Wish I had a picture, but I didn't feel comfortable snapping a one in the small quiet room. Might try next week.

Charlie leaves for Pennsylvania tomorrow. I'm not going to enjoy that. We took a couple of family pictures today I'll post the best one.

Not much going on with me. Read Midnight Sun. Need more. Will try to read more of The Host. Trying to help out around Zane's school. Should be reading this week to his class. He has some pretty cool kids in his class. Went to Robot club with Elyse. Wow do I feel stupid / out of place in there. Not sure how long we'll keep that up. She's doing so well in school. Just need to find the extra carricular activity that fits her pesonality and my budget. Ari seems to need a little something extra too. She gets so bored.

This is just Elyse Zane and Sammuel being there silly selves. Thought I'd share it since so many people don't get to see my kids true selves.

Finished reading my books Wednesday evening. They were great, but now that I've been done for a while I realize how much I haven't gotten done lately. Maybe I shouldn't be a reader. Can't seem to prioritize. I am on a waiting list at the library for yet another book.

I'm looking forward to Alabama games again. I get so emotionally involved. Last year there were several games I thought we were going to win and when we didn't I was furious. So I tried to distance myself, but so far this year is going well.....

Cat still didn't come home. Guess she never will. Killer keeps getting sores. Think he's getting caught under the fence and digging it into his back. Gotta fix that.

Charlie just got back from working out of town since Monday. So glad he's back. Don't know how single parents do it. I would be the meanest mom in the world. Also missed being able to just go to him and ramble like I do. Don't think he missed that part.

School is going well for Elyse and Zane. She has joined the robotic team - for now anyway. I'm hoping she sticks with it and that the meeting times aren't too difficult. She's doing well in her classes which I'm happy about since I've always heard the magnet schools were hard.

Of course Zane went back to cub scouts. I love that he gets that interaction. He's got all A's so far. I'm proud.

Ari is a wild maniac that likes to talk a lot and ask a lot of questions. I'm learning patience. She loves games and is really good with the computer.

Actually all 3 kids love games and are good with the computer. Charlie has gotten Elyse and Zane hooked on world of warcraft and they fight on who gets to play when.

I suppose thats all I've got for now. I'll put some pictures below of our every day life.

We did an experiment and found That Ari's head is way way harder than Elyse's.

Ari and I were princesses.

It just worked so much better on her.

Zaney enjoying world of warcraft.

So I've been so busy reading lately I haven't been able to blog or visit anyone else's blog. I don't ususally like to read, but when I do I'm extremely devoted to it. These Twilight books are very interesting and I'm about a third of the way through book 4. If I didn't have children and stuff I'd have been done a while ago. Stinkin' Kids! : )

Just wanted to see if my video would work.
