Lots of Days (36-51) (1st Grade)

Okay well those of you who know my well and followed the posts from Roberto's year in Kindergarten should know that this is so not typical for me to have missed all these days of blogging. So to say the least I am totally miffed at myself for not keeping up better. Don't fret though because it was a pretty blah set of days...Highlights though are as follows lots of therapy to try to improve my ankle (which has been deemed by the foot specialist as not fully healed and is needing another 2 weeks of therapy), a wedding at Starved Rock for my cousin (which was really fun), almost a week spent with my sister Chrissy (who was in with her fiancee for a week), and a cousin's 18th birthday party (which I spent chillin with the 2nd youngest daughter looking at funny pics online). We had a fun Halloween with the kids and I will post pics later on my facebook. Also, we had many a fun trips to our 2 favorite parks and some fun time at the mall's kid's area and restaurant play places. So now we are officially in November and we will see what mischief we can stay out of!!!

Day 35 (1st Grade)

So today once again started at 7. I got up and picked out the boys' clothes and made sure they went to the bathroom. Then my loving hubby took over and finished getting the boys ready. Then off to Roberto's school they went while I was allowed some time to sleep in...in hopes that my back would feel better...no such luck. I spent my sleep in time back and forth almost on the verge of sleep only to be detoured by nagging backaches. So eventually at 10 I called it quits. I readied myself and had breakfast and coffee while watching some tv. Then my hubby woke up from his morning nap and we spent some us time watching PAN AM. Now I am currently in the process of trying not to jump through my phone and get physical with the our insurance people and our doctor's office. My morning has turned to afternoon and I am feeling overwhelmed by all the mom stuff that I need to do...I really could use a second me...or less clutter and more storage. So I just now have hopefully fixed the problem and Sam has an appointment tomorrow morning to try and figure out his diarrhea problem...be in prayer that something can be figured out because I have been trying to find answers online and there are a lot of people whose young kids have mysterious diarrhea problems and they have been getting any answers!!!

Days 29 - 34 (1st Grade)

Okay, okay...I know, I know...I am seriously behind which is in all honesty a first for me. So in a quick summation it was a lot of same old, same old. Amidst all the busyness Roberto had a fieldtrip to a place called Curtis Apple Orchard. He was apple to see apple trees, pick a pumpkin, have an apple donut, play on a cool playground and in a gravel box with excavating toys, and play mini golf for the first time. Needless to say he was super excited!!! He also had last Friday off. And starting today (Friday the 7th) Roberto has a four day weekend!!! Totally awesome!!! So we all slept in and are heading back up north to visit our families for the weekend. And as a fun bonus this Saturday is the surprise party for my grandparents 50th Anniversary!!! I can't wait for this weekend's adventures!!!
