Day 230

Wednesday, August 18, 2010
Today was Riley's first day of kindergarten!  He was kind of excited to go.  I think the three days of testing they did last week help ease the butterflies for both of us!  I sure hope he has a great time and ends up liking school!

Day 229

Tuesday August 17, 2010
Today's POTD is of Zach ready for school.  His sped class has adaptive PE first hour and they are going to start swimming for that hour, so the teachers asked that he come in his swim suit and bring his clothes and then he will get dressed after adaptive PE.  Since he loves swimming, this should be a lot of fun for him!

Day 228

Monday August 16, 2010
Today's POTD is of Riley sleeping among the mess he refused to pick up!  He cried and threw a fit and just wouldn't clean up, but he didn't get to watch one of his shows or go downstairs and play either, so he just laid on the floor like a stubborn child does and he fell asleep.  He actually stayed asleep all night and didn't even wake up to eat dinner, so apparently he was TIRED!!!

Day 227

Sunday August 15, 2010
Today we were on the way to pick up the boys from Mom and Dad's and Mom called and said that Kayla my niece has head lice and Zach slept on the couch last night that she had slept on Friday night.  I guess the little girl she babysat all summer had it and didn't know it.  Still not sure for how long they had it, but since Zach slept where Kayla did and Riley was around her yesterday too, Ron and I stopped at Walgreen's and got some head lice shampoo.  I guess your not supposed to use it unless you see the bugs, but I did it anyway.  So both of the boys got their heads scrubbed with it and I even used the comb a little on each of them.  I was going to use it on them again tonight, but I read the instructions and it said to reapply in 7 to 10 days, so I will wait and see if they even get them first.  I feel bad for my niece, but hopefully they get rid of them and don't end up with them all over the house and they whole family!

Day 226

Saturday, August 14, 2010
Today is our 17th wedding anniversary!  Wow, what a long time it has been.  We actually dated for almost  four years before we got married, so if you add that to the equation, we have been together almost 21 years.  That is more than half my life!  I love you babe!  Oh yeah, we went to Cripple Creek, had dinner and had a good time gambling.

Day 225

Friday August 13, 2010
Today's POTD is of Ron and Riley having movie time.  I think they decided to watch "Night at the Museum".  I had things to get done, so I was thankful for the quiet time.

Day 224

Thursday August 12, 2010
Today's POTD is of Zach's planner.  His planner is the main source of communication from school to home.  Of course we will talk on the phone as well, but for the most part we use the planner. So after school I asked to see his planner, and he said no, not here or something.  So I figured he left it at school.  But when I passed his room just seconds later, I saw him looking at it, so I said "bring it to me, so I can read it".  WELL, he brought it too me after he ripped out the page that had the "bad note" in it.  It wasn't even that bad of a note, so I wasn't sure if I should be mad because he tried to hide it from me, or be glad that he knew he did wrong and wasn't proud of it!  I talked to him and told him that he needed to let me see his planner everyday no matter what was in it, and that he couldn't hide things from me.  I guess I should embrace the normalcy!
