It's Begun

Y'all, its been so long since I've logged into Blogger that I forgot my password. I know, right, I KNOW. But we're aiming to get back to a normal, non-broken-ankle, non-traveling-husband, regular routine. Wish us luck with that. Most significant part of our new routine involves a big boy school. Yikes! That's right, our boys are off to pre-K. And a pre-K that is housed in a real elementary school, no less. They have been so excited about this, but unfortunately the excitement really does not show here. Here we see two tired boys who woke up too early because they are excited and now one of them is cranky.

He perked up after the picture, so don't worry about him being upset about school. I think he was most excited about having his own Star Wars lunchbox --as a sidenote, where did he learn about Star Wars?-- and that the lunchbox was filled with "so many things!".

Another hour and I get to pick them up!

Interview

A quick interview today for you. When the camera turns on the boys get a little silly and their speech sounds more baby-ish, but you'll get the drift.


My voice sounds weird. Let's pretend its the pain meds.

Scenes from being stuck on the couch.

Dear blogland, I must like you a lot if I am sharing these pics with you...

Also, Keith forced me to watch Swamp People. Help me people, help me.

Pain meds are good in the way that they make your mind drift and you remember things you meant to do a while back, but then they also disable your ability to actually get those things done. Make sense, people? Consider that a warning that there is going to be some random pics and postings coming your way.

Surgery on the ankle is done. All I'll say is nerve block=awesome. Nerve block wearing off at 1am=not awesome. A husband that insists on rolling around on bed causing non-nerve-blocked-leg-to-bounce=even less awesome. That's the only update on the leg I'll give other than to say rolling husband has been a (mostly) non-complaining fantastic nurse. Without him tending to me here, and without Nana and Oupa watching the boys, the last few days would have been impossible.

On to happier things. The boys finished their first season of Lil' Kickers a few weeks ago. They did so good! We're taking a break for the summer so we can enjoy as much pool time as possible, but we plan on getting back to soccer ball kicking in the fall.

 Look how big our goddaughter is already! BabyGirl is precious. This was taken at her brother's third birthday party.

While looking for pics of her brother on this bday, I got distracted by pictures taken on another day, when we went kite-flying. While his expresssion doesnt show it, he really was excited about the excursion...

 It was a really, really gusty day, but some of us were successful at keeping the kite airborn. I won't brag or anything, but it was me.

 It's not that he wasn't trying....

 We got bored with the kites and switched to good ole ball throwing and running.

 And retired to the house to play with dad's iPhone. Fun!

I feel like I wanted to make a specific point after sharing these pics, hmmm...cant remember what that might be. The boys are sharing? Maybe that's it. Who knows. Until later, peoples.

Party.

We attended the birthday party of one of our class friends this past weekend. She is quite the girly girl, and had a Fancy Nancy party. If you don't know if this Fancy Nancy, google her and you will learn all about her. She is the ultimate girly girl. Our boys were some of the few boys in attendance, but we did our best to wear the given top hat and sequin ties.

We also played and played. It was our first time to this particular playhouse and we will definitely be back.
