What a day it was yesterday! We all had SOOO much fun at the birthday party. It was 9 boys! 2 dance teachers, 2 teacher's aides and the moms of the kids. We had the dance class first and they were SOOO great with the boys. Since they were mainly special ed kids, that was a major accomplishment. The mothers were just amazed at how well ALL the kids followed along, paid attention and just truly enjoyed.

...I wonder what exactly it is about birds. I am not a religious person although I long to be. But I have the curse of "prove it and I'll beleive it". Birds have been doing their damndest to do just that.

I was having a very involved discussion with my (also science-based) hubby one day a number of years ago about the existence of a Higher Being. The discussion had been going on for a while when he pointed out that there are things that just seem to be other-worldly like...

...time for reflection today. My brother is going to go to Hawaii with his wife and my Dad's ashes. I am SO happy about that. My mother asked me if she should give him some money but I said why not offer him a vacation in addition to bringing my Dad on his final trip. If he had declined, I'd have gone myself which would have been a nightmare - east coast to hawaii and back in as few hours as possible - but I just cant see putting my DAD in the mail. Anyway, my bro seemed to be very touched...

Yesterday was just nuts!! The eldest lost his first baby tooth the night before...and yesterday was his birthday! The middle guy had big trouble handling the attention that his big brother got, had LOTS of trouble letting him open and play with his birthday...

i guess you can make more than one entry in a day here....so here goes. I made a lovely lasagna, my sisters famous recipe and then took the younger 2 to pick up the eldest from skool, he started his after-school "animal safari" club today. He "meets" and learns about 2 different animals its very cute. Today was squirrels and "chinchiwas"...he LOVED the chinchillas LOL, he wanted (and actually tried to) put one in his backpack to bring home. thats ALL I need....3...

I was horrified this morning when my eldest son, who will be 6 tomorrow, had a tooth flapping around his mouth. My baby is going to lose his first tooth!

I'm not ready for this!!

My youngest was just potty trained last week.

My boys are growing up

Should I go for it and try for a girl? Boys would just LOVE that!!! But what-the-heck would I do with ANOTHER boy???!!!! My GOODness. 3 are just great but I have the loosest of holds on...
