Anyhow... What has happened since my last post?
Mmmmmm... Let's see...
We still haven't found a house. Well, I take that back. We found a house we like, but David wants to wait until school starts to make an offer. I guess it's kind of a smart move since people tend to get a little more desperate to sell once the official "season" is over, but I am so over this process. It's a great house, in the neighborhood we want, on a great (pool-worthy) yard so I guess if we get it, it will be worth the wait.
The Walk went great! Our family team raised almost $13,000. Would you believe Emma raised over $6,000 of it herself. She really is quite amazing (I will track you down and kill you if you tell her I said that.) Thanks to all of you who contributed! It really means sooooooooo much to our family, the twins especially!
Emma just turned 6 on Monday. I can't really believe that either. We had a fantastic birthday party for her. American Idol themed karaoke/pool party. She had lots of friends from school come and we all had a great time. Her favorite gift was her ipod. I will post pictures as soon as I get them off of my camera. She starts school 3 weeks from Monday, and I can't wait. I have to admit that I had to choke back the bile writing her tuition check though. Also, I just want you all to know that she is partially to blame for my lack of posts. She hogs the computer with her Webkinz. WARNING: If your kid hasn't asked for one already, put it off as long as possible.
Benjamin and Sarah start back to Montessori 1 week from Monday. That means we are in the throes of potty training HELL! Actually, Sarah's doing GREAT. She's day trained, which is good enough for school. Ben is being a turd. He had it down most of summer. My Mom told him, "You have to potty train or you can't go to your new big boy class." and it was all over. He wants to stay with his old teacher. What do we do about that?
David is doing his work thing. He is still off of the cigarettes now since December, so I think we can safely say he has quit. Oh yeah and I am 31 now.
Here are some pics from Sarah and Ben's end of school party and Emma in her sparring gear at karate competition (1st in Forms, 3rd in Sparring.)
