Adam got to school only 5 minutes late today, courtesy 1 forgotten backpack and 2 emergency vehicle needing the road more than me. Not bad, all things considered. Pulled out some shorts for the boys last night to wear today, since yesterday was pushing 80, so of course, it was raining this morning. Still pretty mild, though, so half of them kept the shorts anyway.

Good news, though! I have officially followed through on something. I have been consistently writing, every day, 99% of the time reaching my quota of 1000 words or more. So, maybe I'll post some of those here. I think I'm getting better at getting to the point (ie. conciseness), but as that's never been my strong suit...

Adam is officially done with ice skating, until October, which is forever away for my 7 year old, so he's been a bit in grief over it. At least, he was, 2 nights ago. But that was before we took him out to ice cream last night to celebrate his last lesson of the season.

He seems okay now.

Cole is really into the talking, watch-me-doing-everything stage. Of course, Adam is still in that stage, so maybe it's not so much a stage as hopefully his verbal energy catching up with the rest of him. Anyway, he loves the frisbee right now and can do a mean high kick.

Andrew is into sorting, sorting and more sorting. This morning, he's been busy sorting the magnetic letters/numbers on our washer by color, matching letter/number, and now, he's putting them in order of the alphabet. Such a kick.

Ben is sleeping, bless his cranky little soul.

Someone needs to get to sleep before 9:30 tonight. He thinks he's so funny, running up and down the halls while his brothers are tucked in their beds, asleep. He takes his little puppy and barks at us when we tuck him back in. I think he's pretty convinced that anything with fur naturally barks.
