My girls play SO well together, every day. They are the best of friends and literally spend every moment at home together. Brynlie has been so sweet, helping Lindsey adjust to Kindergarten. And they are SO imaginative when they play! They make absolutely collosal messes, but it's because they use every single toy we own in their games. I love it so much. It makes me giddy with joy to see them be so close. I hope that doesn't change as the years go on.
A couple Loganisms, said only moments apart:
"Mom, I think I have batteries in me that make me pee and poop."
"Uh, Mom? I need you to bring me some paper towels, but DON'T LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED! OK?" (What happened is that he pooped all over the carpet. Apparently those batteries were working well that day).
Brevan had a fairly good first week of school. We aren't starting the homeschooling until tomorrow, because I wanted him to have a few days to adjust to Middle School. There was one traumatic day on the bus ride home, where he realized the High School and Junior High kids are also on his bus. He was teased and had to listen to some bad language, and then came home to an empty house because I hadn't gotten home from running errands yet. I felt horribly guilty, because he was quite upset. I had decided not to let him ride the bus anymore, but he tried it again a few days later when I made sure he had someone to sit with, and that they sat at the very front of the bus. It was much better, which was such a blessing because I fear I have overloaded my life lately and really don't have time to run into town and pick him up every day.
Speaking of homeschool, I will just say that I know this is what is best for Brevan. And I know it will work out, somehow. But I'm a bit apprehensive and overwhelmed, as I've been studying and reading up on my duties. I have faith that it will work out in the end, even though I don't see how it's going to fit into my life right now.
We had tornadoes in the area during a bad storm on Friday. The kids were all at school, and I was nervous they would be hysterical. The girls both had to hide under desks and tables, while Brevan had to sit in the Middle School hallway with his hands over his head. The kids were not allowed to leave until the tornado warning had passed, so they got home from school about 45 minutes late. They were amazingly all in good spirits and hadn't been too terrified during the whole ordeal.
And that's all I got as far as random thoughts for the day.
