I don't know what has happened to me but I really suck at blogging lately.  The kids continue to crack me up and I continue to do embarrassing things but I forget to write them down.  So without further delay I'll let you in on what's been going on around here.
I've been doing my best to keep on top of the house, kids, and schedules which usually isn't bad at all I just need help remembering it all.  Friday I felt really good that I had scheduled an oil change for the van and arranged a ride home so I wouldn't have to spend all day there.  As I was walking up to my front door after being dropped off I realized I had left my house key on my car keys and had no way of getting in my house. Oops, luckily my friend hadn't left and I was able to borrow my friends car and get my keys without too much headache.
Shawn has had a little more time off because one of the attending he works with is out of town so we are taking full advantage and staying up until midnight and buying movies from Vudu on a whim.  Is it sad that the most exciting thing we do is buy a movie without agonizing over the purchase for an hour? I must say I really enjoyed it.
Caroline is such a good kid.   At least once a week I get a note from her teacher telling me what a good helper she is.  I'm not surprised I was the teacher's pet in school too.  She also loves teaching family home evening which is great because all I have to do is tell her to write about something and 20 minutes later she has a lesson, and its good!  Shawn thought she had copied from our kid scripture book yesterday.
Devin is the clumsiest kid ever.  He falls down at least once a day and I"m just glad he has a cast on his elbow.  I think I'm going to wrap him in bubble wrap for a while to take a break from broken bones.  He also LOVES school which is great.  It does take some effort to get him to stop playing with toys to get him ready in the morning though.
Graham is so weird and funny.  Shawn and I went for a walk with just him on Friday and he rubbed in in Caroline's and Devin's face as much as he could.  I think he would really love to be an only child.  Too bad for him.  The other day he was talking to Shawn and said, "Sometimes I miss mommy."  And Shawn said, "But you're with her all the time."  And Graham replied, "I know but I still miss her."  He makes us laugh everyday.
Nothing too exciting going on but we're loving it!
