Lets Try This Again...

I’m trying to figure out why I haven’t blogged in eleven months and I can’t. I’m going to dig deep and try to figure it out. I think it was much easier to have all the kids in my possession each and every day. Sending them to school every day is much harder than having them all all over me each and every day. Sydney and Lior went to school five days a week from nine to one. Jordan started going to school two days a week from nine to one in a different school and Akiva hung out with me. Having the kids in two different schools is extremely difficult and Sydney and Lior’s school was a major cause of stress for me. Maybe that’s the reason why I didn’t blog, I didn’t want to complain.

Perhaps it was because I hate my computer but we got another little laptop so I could blog and that was way back in February while we were on vacation in North Carolina. I’m not that crazy about it either but at least I can sit with it on my lap and type away. I’m not sure how I am going to post pictures because there are no pictures on this laptop but at least I will be able to write about what the kids are doing and saying because I plan on blogging again starting today.

Believe it or not Sydney and Lior have started kindergarten, yes my babies are GROWING UP! Now that we have transitioned into elementary school I have discovered the joy of the car pool line. Can you believe that people start to line up for car pool at noon? Maybe you will find it more unbelievable if you knew that students are not dismissed until two. That’s right they wait out here for two hours. You want to know what is crazier than that? I get on line at twelve thirty and wait along with them. I do this not because I want to but because I have two sleeping kids who need to sleep and waiting in the car for an hour and a half lets them take that nap. Yesterday I decided that I was going to write my blog again while the kids sleep. Lets see how long this lasts. Wish me luck and pray that Jordan continues to nap a minimum of three times a week.

Ok, I know!

I know, I know! I know I have not been posting. I have no real excuse. I have not been happy with the picture quality so I have not wanted to post. Matt tells me to post without pictures but most of you do not want to read the blog you want to see pictures of the kids. I know my audience!
I have been unbelievably busy. The kids were home the whole summer and that was a complete change in routine. I managed to work as much as possible which kept us busy. I am not really sure why that kept me from blogging or if it did. I think I am going to blame my disappointment in the picture quality because it will justify me purchasing a new camera (again). I spent the better part of tonight reliving my summer. Matt's birthday, Sydney and Lior's birthday party, their school celebration, our vacation celebration (day one, two and three), and another beach photo shoot. I have provided links to all the posts that I wrote tonight so you do not have to search for them. They were all posted in August except Matt's birthday which is in July so if you do not feel like following the links just click on August and they will all come up. When you look at Matt's birthday cake forgive me, I was saving all of my cake decorating skills for the girls birthday cake!
Enjoy the posts and come back soon because I will be posting SOON!

Writing

Jordan just started calling for me a few minutes ago. "Mommy, Mommy, come here quick!". "I wrote a "j", I wrote my letter... And it's a beautiful one!"

The good news

Baby jail is finally clean! And they saved the dog!

Apparently

Baby jail is on fire and the have saved their toys.

Akiva bowls

Need I say more?

Imitation

What's that they say? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...
Today at nap time Sydney called downstairs to me and told me she was taking care of Jordan. When I got there I found Sydney cuddling her and asking her what her favorite part of the day was. Jordan's reply "cuddling you!". That's usually Sydney's response at the end of the day when I tuck them in at night.
