I guess I will call my blog that because I don't really have anything to say but felt like I should add something! I know it's crazy that I of all people don't have anything to report or share but right now our life is all about getting into a routine so there isn't much crazy stuff going on.
Football practice is going well. It has proven to be much better than I previously thought and I think that even though Alex is little the pads they give them make them look big, mean and tough so maybe I won't have to worry as much as I thought originally.
School is going well, Dr. Phil and Oprah have recently been returned to the great outdoors and they were a big hit at school so everyone was very much excited about that! No major stories from school to share so I guess on that front no news is good news right?
AWANA started up again last night which is fun for us. The kids and I really enjoy it for the most part and I am excited about several of the changes that are taking place this year. I think it will help with the older kids getting bored and give the kids something to be excited about.
We haven't had any illnesses, broken body parts, teeth falling out, glasses breaking, major injuries or anything like that happen recently so I guess this must just be the calm before the storm for us! I have to say, I am kind of liking this calm spell and I hope the storm holds off for a long time! I have been thinking about Halloween Costumes for this year though. I need a new and original idea for this year. In the past we have been The Dukes of Hazzard, The Wizard of Oz, Princesses, Cheerleaders, Hunters, Cowboys you name it. The first two were my favorite and one of the pictures I have included should explain why. They just made the CUTEST Dukes of Hazzard ever! The other pic is one of them last year. The oldest two kids are trying to decide if they are even doing it this year....one more thing my kids are doing to prove to me that no matter how hard I try, You can't make them babies forever!
