Zoo Time
Today we went to the zoo - our eldest didn't want to go, guess he's getting too old for this kind of thing. He said he didn't want to see animals sleeping and pooping. The irony is that while we were watching the hippo (swimming - not sleeping) he began pooping. HA! Cracked me up. Of course Z - who is at the age of thinking that kind of thing is hilarious thought it was... well... hilarious!!
It ended up being a fun day for everyone - even B.

1st Football Game
Today was B's first football game. When we got to the crazy crowded parking lot we noticed a man with his face painted and I suggested to Jason that we were probably not ready for what was about to happen to us. (Please know that we've lived in Texas for 7 years and are proud to say that we've not been to any football games - no offense football fans out there) At that point I noticed that this same man (face paint man) was holding a fishing pole. At this time I realized that I was in way over my head - I had no idea why you needed your face painted and you needed a fishing pole! What in the world?! We decided to wing it and moved on hoping that no one would notice our lack of these two "essentials." HA! HA!
We were told to arrive an hour early but because of the crowded parking lot we only got there 30 minutes early. When we got there we found out that all the games were running behind so we didn't start at 1pm as the schedule showed, we started at 2pm. That gave us an hour and a half to walk around, play in the van and generally be bored.
When the game finally started, KZ&A entertained themselves with the dirt and Jason and I waited anxiously for our favorite player to hit the field. I learned about 1st downs (surprisingly not the first time my child is tackled or tackles someone - j/k) and about defense. Finally after about one injury per play (to our team) we got to half time, and we still had not seen B on the field! After half time B got on the field, another one of our players was injured and our coach called a forfeit. Apparently according to B the team was bigger, the referees were not calling fouls and as I mentioned earlier our team was getting injured every time they blew the whistle. So the pictures that you will see are the one and only time that B was actually on the field. Crazy!
Waiting and walking.
Do you see this big guy?! Most of them were that big
(not that I was expecting anything different)

Camp Champions 2009
Last year was Camp Champions the Freeze! This year was (believe it or not!) Camp Champions the Flood! My friend, Heather W. coined those names and I think she did a fine job! It didn't truly flood but considering our drought conditions for the last year the amount of rain we got this weekend made it feel like a flood.
We swam in the pool (very refreshing), we practiced archery, kayaked and swam in the lake. Here are just a few pictures of our fun!

Weekly update
Missing me? I said weekly and here it is!
B had the flu this week - we thought it was sun poisoning because he came back from Galveston with a horrible fever and sunburn. We took him to the doctor Wednesday and tested him, flu (not sure which strain). Jason went back to work today and they sent him home! They said that since they didn't know which strain it was they didn't want him there if he might be infected. So he's home the rest of the week. KZA and I all went and got flu shots/mists yesterday. Hoping that we beat it!
K starts cheerleading next Monday - but this weekend is Girl Scout Camp! Can't wait!
B's first football game is this weekend - Jason will be on his own for this one. Although Scott has said he's coming so that will be helpful.
Z&A still love school, but I think that they miss our time at home. Z has commented a couple of times that he'd like to spend the day at home with me. aww!!
Here are some pictures to prove that all is well.
Ready for school (with my drink yogurt)
I miss my kids!
Love that sweet smile!
This guy is fun to be around!
Got my drink yogurt, now I need my lunchbox.

Two updates this week
Our first week was crazy and busy. There really isn't more to say about it other than that. My team is great and I'm glad to be working at Negley. This week I've been trying to juggle teaching, peeing and eating. Next week I'm going to try to figure out how to take attendance and check email during the day.
This week - B decided to play football! Oh my heavens - pray for me. He's very excited and I'm very nervous. Now I just need to get K set up with her cheerleading classes and I'll have two regular Texas football fanatics on my hands!!
Here's pictures - update later in the week.

Weekly Update
I'm going to try to send out a weekly update - I may even have a cute name for it each week but for now my time scarce so that is as creative as I can get.
The big news this week IS... dum dum da dum! A went potty on the big girl potty yesterday morning, last night, this morning AND today AT school!! Oh yea I can see the end of diapers in my immediate future and it is good. Whoop!
B&K started 6th grade and 4th grade yesterday - oh my goodness I have a middle school child. K and I love that she's at school with me, she leaves me little notes before school and I've been leaving her some to find while I'm doing duty after school. B is loving his "new" cell phone and I really enjoy getting texts that say, "luv u" and "see u soon."
Z is going to Ms. Cindy's - he's enjoying himself and today he got to go to the library and have story time. Very exciting stuff. We are really working on him watching his little mouth, he has found the word "poop" and thinks it is hilarious all day, every day and in every setting. Ugh!
Finally - my first week (okay two days) have been busy, crazy and I can see that it will be an exciting year and full of learning. I'm excited, still nervous but feeling better every day. A friend told me on Sunday to "rely on my competence until my confidence comes." It is working... my confidence is building, slowly.
Hopefully I can share some pictures soon (but not tonight) - I did get a couple of cute 1st day of school shots.
