not so merry-go-round

Last Saturday at the soccer game the kids all found a merry-go-round at the park in Othello. We don't have one in Moses and my kids have never been on one and they were in heaven! The coaches are friends of ours and have kids all the same ages as ours plus one, so while they coach I help keep and eye on their kids. And with the new found park toy it was very easy to watch everyone. The thought did cross my mind that maybe I should make everyone take a break to prevent an accident, but they were having so much fun and like I said it was so easy to watch everyone so being the good mom that I am I just let them keep spinning. When the game was over Ellen's poor little 3 year old didn't look so good, white, pale, and hardly able to move. By the time he got in his mom's car he lost it. I felt pretty bad for Adam and Ellen. And so glad that my kids were all smiles when they got off and didn't get sick!

Fall Soccer

Gage started soccer a few weeks ago and has already had a couple games. He's in U8 now, they still play 3 on 3 only now they play with a goalie, which is interesting. He does very well and he likes it. He's played with mostly the same group of kids 3 seasons now and they are all great kids and the all play very well together. The coaches are awesome and the boys are learning so much.

Case's Baby

When Dylan came to play on Friday she brought two baby dolls to play with and Case was in LOVE with one of them. He hauled that thing around with him everywhere, and yes when dad came home and saw his youngest son hauling a pink baby around he was proud. He went to sleep snuggling her and he............woke up snuggling her.

The First Day

The kids started school on Wednesday, Gage 2nd grade and Jett started kindergarten. They both did awesome! Gage had a really hard time the first days of kinder and 1st grade so we weren't sure what to expect. I made Lynn come with me this year because I didn't think I could handle leaving crying kids again but they did so good and they loved it, they were both excited to go back. It's weird having both of them gone especially Jett, since it's really his first time away from me on a regular basis. The summer went by way to fast and although I miss them when they are at school poor Case misses them so, so much. I probably heard Case say, "where Jetty go?" about 20 times the first day. I kept telling him that Jett was at school and he still asks me 6 or 10 times while Jett is at school only now he answers his own question.

When Case saw Gage and Jett put their backpacks on he had to have his on too. And every morning since he puts his backpack on to take the kids to school.I can't wait for next summer already!
