Lots to say, not enough time to blog it.

It's been 3 weeks and that's unacceptable but honestly I am covered up with stuff to do. I get to blog now because I am tethered to my computer taking a driver safety course and you are required to spend a certain amount of time on each page. I guess I'm a speedy reader so I'll blog while I wait on the time to expire. :-)
The bad thing is it's been so long since I blogged I can't remember half the stuff that I wanted to blog!
Tanner started baseball a couple weeks ago. It's going pretty well. His biggest challenge right now is learning not to swing at every pitch. I imagine that's hard to learn for a kid. We have our first game on saturday at 4:30.
Grace is hysterical! You already knew that, but she says the funniest stuff. I really must start a journal of all the funny Grace sayings so I can have them all conveniently in one place. Two weekends ago Tanner and Grace were up at the crack of dawn. CJ and I finally had to get up to quiet them down so that Morgan could sleep in a little. After several reminders to "find their quiet voices" CJ sent them to their rooms for a while. A few minutes later we go down the hallway to check on them and Grace is laying on her bed, on her stomach, with her arms crossed, her chin resting on her hands, and the saddest pouty face you have ever seen. CJ says "what's wrong with you" and her reply "I just can't find my quiet voice!" (in the cutest 4 year old voice you can hear). I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
Morgan has a perpetual knot on his head. It's a good thing his noggin is made of steel or we would have had major trouble by now. A couple of weeks ago he was sitting on the arm of the CJ's chair and fell off. Hit his head on something, either the sidetable or the floor and had one of the biggest goose eggs I've ever seen. His head just started to look normal a couple days ago and then yesterday we're going into the bank and he decides to run around me as I'm opening the door and, CRACK, right in the head again with the edge of the door. Another cut, another bump and bruise. If they ever x-ray his head CPS is going to come looking for me.
Everything with me and CJ is normal, and good. Business is picking up - yeah. Baseball ruined CJ's planned fishing trip for this weekend. Bummer. I'm trying to figure out how I can scrapbook around baseball for the next two months. It'll work out. Anyway, I'm going to upload a couple of pictures so you can enjoy and hopefully it won't be three weeks before I update again.

Uploading this picture made me remember that I braided Grace's hair for the first time! Yeah! It makes me happy. I wore mine up all the time for cheerleading and I can still braid my own hair. It was fun to do hers.

Pretty Normal.

Things have been pretty quiet on the homefront thise week. I've been trying to think of something to post for a couple of days now but really it's just the same ol' same ol'.
Tanner started baseball practice this week. He's the smallest kid on the team. I know he's a little guy but I never really realize it until he's matched up against other kids his age. The next shortest kid on the team has him by a good 3-4 inches. :-( He's not doing too bad in most areas though. This is our first season in coach pitch and the coach pitching was the most difficult part for him. Literally the coach can't pitch it low enough to actually be in his strike zone. Everything was coming in at or above his shoulders. You could see it was frustrating the coach too.
After practice he proclaimed he didn't really like to play baseball which broke CJ's heart. I think he was just sad because he didn't have a very good batting practice, and because I pulled him out of GymKats for the season. He really loves GymKats too, but baseball is already 3-4 nights/wk and I think anything more than that is just too much right now. I promised him when baseball season is over he could go back to GymKats.
Grace is Grace. She's got a thing for dresses and skirts right now and would wear one every single day if I'd let her. She loves going to school. I think it's more social for her than anything because every day when I ask her what she learned she says, "oh nothing. But Lacey and I...."
And Morgan, well, he's 2. Very, very 2. I never really had much terrible two's with Tanner or Grace but Morgan is about to drive me mad! Screamin' fits when he doesn't get his way, he hits, he cries (seems like constantly). I just want to beat my head into the wall. Some days it's really hard to remain calm. I'm managing though.
Poor CJ has strep. Don't ask me how but he does. He's dying. He's been feeling bad since Tuesday. He went to an urgent care place yesterday and they gave him an antibiotic shot, an antibiotic prescription, and a pain killer.
I'm fine nothing crazy. Going scrapbooking tomorrow which I am very excited about. Got 28 pages done last weekend at the retreat - woohoo!
Well, gotta scoot - time to take Tanner to school.

Back to the grindstone.

After a very fun and relaxing weekend it's back to reality. I definately have too many things on my To Do list for today. *sigh*
