Football

WOOHOO!!! Football starts tomorrow! I am so excited! There is nothing better than sitting out in the 100 degree heat at dusk while the buggies bite your legs:)

That is however that last bit of football complaining I am hoping to do. Declan is really looking forward to the season. His coach ROCKS and the games are alittle later this year, so it should be good! We are hoping that Declan figures out that it is tackle football he is playing and not flag:)

Biggest Joy of Parenting

This morning we had to make a run to the doctor for Killi & Declan. Just quick check-ups, but it ended up being sooooo very exciting! You see, all five of us now see the same family doctor, so when I walk in with the kids, he always asks them how their father is. Today started not differently. The doctor walked in the room, said hello to each monster and asked how daddy was. Well, my lovely monsters decided to give the doctor a BLOW-BY-BLOW of the argument that mommy & daddy had last night. It was great! Mommy was mad at daddy for...and because he...Gosh I love these monsters:) The only thing that saved these three was that they sure it make it out to be ALL Daddy's fault:)

So, we leave the office to rush home for Killi's tutoring session, where she no sooner started working when I hear her retelling the tutor the story of the "fight". Mind you, we again in the car home, discussed home things that happen at home stay at home! Things that we talk about as a family, stays with our family. For the life of me I cannot understand why my kids are not getting that! I mean I had that drummed into my head by the time I was their ages! Again I will say that it was still all daddy's fault in this story too:)

For the record and since the children have shared with EVERYONE already, I will tell you all that the "fight" was more about mommy & daddy being very tired and needing someone to vent to then anything good:) And, I think it is good for them to see us "fight" sometimes. To know and understand that things are not always smiles and laughs, sometimes life is hard, but that we always love each other.
