Skyler and Sadie: A really fast week....

I seriously can't believe that it's already Friday night. This week FLEW! Which was impressive with two sick kids and rainy days. But, somehow we were really busy and it went fast. I have to say that I always do great, and then hit a point where I need a break...not a big one, but just a stress free hour where I can just chill. Not sure if it's possible, but we all need me to have this. The kids are great, but DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!! They tease, and taunt, and scream, and laugh with each other, and make lots of unnecessary noises that just get right under my skin. Skyler gets especially noisy when he has a cold...I have no idea why...I'm guessing it's because his ears get clogged and he can hear himself loud and clear...thinking it's really fun to hum loudly for a long period of time. Really??? And Sadie? She is so dramatic...I see myself in her and just sigh to myself getting visions of our future together. She knows just how to get to me when I am ready to break...and then gives me this sad face when I actually do break making me forget that SHE caused me to get frustrated and then I feel guilty....it's definitely an interesting ride. Today when we were getting ready for bath, I took her diaper off FOR A SECOND....she marched right into Skyler's room...Skyler came out and said, "Mom, why is Sadie peeing on my floor?". I almost cried...but didn't...got it together...and now they are sleeping:)

Our houseguest who has been a PLEASURE! I think we might just have to keep her....

I love him.

Today was "Truck Day" at Skyler's school. Sadie and I tagged along with his class. She felt like such a big girl.

There he goes...getting on a bus, which he has been wanting to do all year.

Really? love them.

He had so much fun today:)

The teachers put Sadie in the mail truck. Here she is with another little sis. She loved it so much that I couldn't get her out! Everyone had left the truck and I had to climb in and then hand her off to the poor mailman when I realized I couldn't get out without help. Not my finest moment!

Skyler loved the mail truck.

It also happened to be Skyler's Shabbat day. This means he is the special kid for the day. Michael, Sadie, and I went in for their Shabbat routine, had lunch with him, and watched him on the playground. He LOVED it, loved telling us about his day, and showing us around his school. He seemed so grown up!
