Wow! It has been a long time since I last blogged. We have relocated to the state of Washington where we are very happily taking root. This was the week of Halloweird. The kids participated in a parade and two harvest parties. One where the dancing princess (formerly cubbie) won best costume and won candy corn. The other where my little man won best costume and came home with a big bag of toys and candy.
After the first weeks of school the dancing princess came home and said, "Mom, the staff at our new school is so respectful of children it is nice." Then, a week ago she said, "Mom, the staff let's you be who you are without trying to make you be what they want you to be." Needless to say we are much happier in our new live and let live village.
Both kids just finished their football season. Yes, the princess was a tough player that earned much respect and character during the season. Coaches hers and others said of her, "she's awesome!"
Our little man played ball today at the tournament. He woke up with a stomach ache and thought that was going to be enough to get him out of playing but he went. He played, he handed the ball off for touchdowns, he almost pulled the opponents flag and blocked so that others could pull flags or so that his teams flag wasn't pulled, he also kicked the ball down the field to be recieved. He did lay down on the wet ground during half time and I knew he didn't feel well. But he built character by being there for his team even when all things weren't ideal in his personal world. He fell asleep on the way home and rested more after we returned home. Icing on the cake-JWR took the trophy in today's game. Go team!
Peace Out
