Poor sweet baby....

Well I feel bad for two of my babies these days. The first one being Zac since he is still not feeling like his usual self. He has had a runny nose for the past two days and I had to start him on his breathing treatments for a few days until his cough subsides. I must say that him not feeling well has not slowed him down much or at all for that matter.

Herschel is my other baby I feel bad for. He has been having a rough time at work and not because of his class. He is frustrated because his higher ups aren't supporting him and his co-workers. And then they are all told that they aren't doing a good enough job with their students. Nothing like kicking them all when they are down. Sometimes I just wish his job were as simple as teaching the students, but unfortunately there is just too many politics and spineless people involved. Hang in there honey, I know you can do it and make it better. He just feels bad because he knows that all of the students are suffering because of all of this drama.

My other baby, Zeke is actually doing really well right now. I definitely think him starting school again has mellowed him out. I am really proud of him and how well he has been doing since school and soccer has started for him.

My day...

Nothing too exciting today. I did laundry most of the day and I feel like I made a bigger mess. I am going to have to invest in one of those huge front loaders that does everything with the push of a button. But I suppose I still have to get the laundry to the machine and I still have to put it away. But I could put more in at once.

Zac has had a runny nose all day due to his teeth. That poor boy has got more teeth in his mouth and they have all come in at the same time. I discovered at dinner that he now also likes grapes. (Don't worry mom, I cut them in quarters) I think he ate more grapes than anything.

Zeke has been preoccupied with his new Wii game he got on Sunday with his gift card. It's Mario Baseball. He loves anything with Mario in it. He is already trying to master the game.

And as for Herschel, he had basketball practice this evening. Hopefully they aren't working him over too much.

In other news, I finally completed Zeke's Jog-a-thon scrapbook page. I just wasn't happy with it, but I made it work and now it doesn't bother me so much. I also had to make a sympathy card for one of Herschel's coworkers. Those aren't really as much fun to make due to the circumstances. I am now off to start another scrapbook page for Zeke's school album.

Go Cheetahs!!!

Soccer Saturday kicked off yesterday with our first game. My son's team, the Cheetahs did great. They won 3-1. It was a very fun game to watch. The kids worked well together considering it was only their first game. Zeke did really well. He was the fastest kid out there and he made a cute goalie. Unfortunately the one goal was scored when he was goalie. He didn't care because they still won.

Besides going to the game, we also had my niece's birthday party to attend in the afternoon. The kids were all playing outside and having lots of fun. I was late to the party because I went to the Paper Garden in Sacramento. It is an incredible stamp and paper store. I would just like to give Stephanie a shout out for having a fabulous store and a great sale yesterday. My mom and I had a fun time in there. I can't wait to get a jump start on my Halloween cards now. Thanks for taking us, dad.

After, my niece's party, we went to my in-laws and watched the UFC fights. Poor Iceman (Chuck Liddell). He got knocked the %@$* out. I am surprised he wasn't carried out on a stretcher.

Needless to say, it was a very long day yesterday but a very fun one. It was nice to have the boys sleep in a little bit this morning.

This morning

So this is was one of the first things I saw this morning. Zeke was all excited about these glasses. He had to show them off to me. I just thought he looked too cute. He earned these glasses by me filling out some paperwork for school and him returning it on time. These are straw glasses, one side goes in your drink and the other goes in your mouth. It's going to be a fun Friday.

Design Class

Tonight, I had my Design Studio class for my Cricut. For those of you who don't know, it is a computer program for one of my scrapbooking tools. The class was down at Green Tangerines (scrapbook store in Roseville). I learned some very simple skills that I can't wait to use. The only bad thing about going to Green Tangerines, is that I always find something to buy....of course! I swear there needs to be a 12 step program to break that addiction. I love that store because all of the ladies are fabulous.
When I got home, I was greeted by my youngest running at me full speed ahead and giggling like he was drunk. I gave him big hugs and made him giggle even more. And Zeke gave me big greasy kisses from his fried chicken dinner. Oh how I love being a mom.

"May the force be with you"

This evening, Zeke was eating his dinner when Zac came out of the toy room carrying a lightsaber. It wasn't fully extended yet until Zac made this great noise with his mouth and moved his arm. He apparently knows how to make the lightsaber come out with force too. I turned to Zeke and said, "May the force be with you." After that, the two of them were dueling in the living room. Zeke knows he has to be nice since he is so much bigger but Zac is vicious.

Never a dull moment

All day today, Zac has been so busy. Sometimes I think this boy is like me in the sense that he doesn't slow down until he is done. We were at my parents house today and he only stopped running through the house during his nap. And when his great grandma got there, she was chasing him through the house. Since we have gotten home he has, climbed on the couch, climbed on his play table, bit mommy, tried helping daddy with emptying the dishwasher, changed the tv channel and is bouncing on one of our chairs. Right now he is crying because he doesn't want to say goodnight to mommy. Wait...quick mood change, now he is giggling hysterically. I have no idea what this kid was fed but we shouldn't feed it to him again. Now he is off to bed with "blankie" in a death grip.
