Still Lazy

I guess I will always be a slacker when it comes to the blog. I always get inspired when I read my friend, Kelly's blog. She works, has 2 young boys and a newborn, yet she blogs frequently. What's my excuse? I don't have one. I guess my life is just too boring to talk about!

We had a water main break right outside the office today. I wish I had had some warning before I drank a 32-oz. diet coke on my way to work. At least I got my exercise hoofing it up to the hospital to pee. At least they had working facilities.

Will practiced riding his bike tonight without the training wheels. Although he did not stick with it long, he did say it was "fun". Another great way for mom to get some exercise. My hamstrings were burning from running in a forward flexed position holding onto that seat. Maybe I can skip the treadmill tonight? It is staring at me as I type...procrastinating.

Max and I were talking the other day, and he started saying all of our names. I asked him, "If you put us all together, what are we?". I was going for "family". Max's answer-"A marching band".

Got to go practice my clarinet!

Busy Month

August was a busy month for us. Will is playing both soccer and baseball. He loves it but it leaves us with only 2 free nights a week and games both days of the weekend. Can I remind you that he is only 4? I am destined to be a "bleacher butt" mom. Max loves sports every bit as much. I can't imagine our schedules when both of them are playing.

Max is quite proud of his new "trick". He has been getting out of his crib. He has done it before, but now he is quite good at it and does it frequently. Time for the big boy bed. And the lock on the door.

Will begins a new year at Sunshine Preschool tomorrow. He is very excited to see all of his friends. Both of the boys will also be moving up a class at my work's child care center, so a lot of changes this week. I have not been too impressed with Max's teacher the last few months so I am hoping for a change in the positive direction.

A few weeks ago we went to Springfield, Ill to visit our friends, Michelle, Lamar, Cora, and George. Oh yes, and Cleo the horse (aka great dane). Max was not a fan of Miss Cleo when we arrived but is still talking about her now. I have no idea where his fear of dogs comes from. We had a great time. We sampled the local delicacies (a world famous horseshoe), saw a great concert (Brooks and Dunn and ZZ-Top-can't say I am a fan of the old men with beards!), went to the Illinois State Fair, and visited the City Museum in St. Louis. We were 10 pounds heavier and exhausted when we got home. We had a blast. Thanks, Villeres!

Lamar and George-The Winners

I'm not touching that

City Museum-St. Louis

I am amazed by their lack of fear-that thing was way up there. I couldn't do it. Poor Brian!
