It has been so long since I last blogged. A lot has happened in that length of time. Reece is now officially a 2nd grader and loving it. Logan has started preschool full-time and is doing great. And Maddy is in a preschool class 2 days a week for 3 hours a day. She is growing up so fast.
without one of my kids getting hurt anymore! My boys are so rowdy that I expect them to roll around and rough-house. But when Madelynn gets in on it, it is getting to be too much. I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things tonight. And when I came up on the porch, I hear Logan bawling and Maddy saying, "I sorries!" When I opened the door, I am greeted by a bleeding 3 year old. Apparently, Madelynn hit Logan with one of her toys and managed to get him right in the eye. He is okay, but it is probably going to be black tomorrow. I feel so bad for him!! It's his first "black eye" and his BABY SISTER gave it to him! Poor Kid!!
This is about 30 minutes after the hit...
And this is after he went to sleep tonight... (I just noticed how much like his daddy he looks in this picture!)
I have been so bad about blogging lately. We have been getting ready for school to go back into session, and I have been so busy! Reece started back to school on August 25th. He loves his new teacher and classmates so far. He was worried that 1st grade would be too hard for him. But so far, so good. He starts having homework next week. And he has lost his 2nd tooth.
Logan has decided that he doesn't want to go to preschool next year. He informed me that "They are mean" and he isn't going. Too bad for him that he doesn't have a choice in the decision.
Madelynn is entering her "Terrible Two's" just a little bit early. Her current favorite word is "No, no, no!" and makes she that she says that to Logan most of the day! If it can be climed, she is on top of it. If it can be thrown, it winds up across the room. If it doesn't belong to her, she has to have it. And if I tell her to do it, she does the exact OPPOSITE!! You just HAVE to love this period of a child's life. Oh, and we have decided to forget about potty training for now. She is more interested in playing in the potty than peeing in it!
Oh, I almost forgot.... the kids got a new puppy! Her name is Bella, and she is 1/2 jack russell, 1/2 beagle. She is the sweetest thing.
The other weekend, we decided to take the boys to the boat landing for a small fishing trip. They had a blast!! Reece will say he caught the biggest fish, but LOGAN was the one having all the fun. Not only did he get to throw them all back, but he also decided that the water looked perfect for swimming! Here are some pics from our trip...
