May Rains.....

It has been stormy the past few days. Hard to get Ted out for a good walk when it is raining. He would be fine, but I am a bit more picky about the weather. This week is not as frenzied. I do have a few meetings at school, but it is calming to not have the nightly plans to attend to. Sam needs to get into an Optometrist to have his eyes checked. I am convinced he will need glasses like his dad and nearly every member of his families on both sides. I am sure he will look darling in glasses and I will be so glad that he will be able to SEE. Sort of a bad parenting moment when I realize how bad his eyes seem to be. He has continued to be a voracious reader and continues to do very well in school, so the lack of being able to see doesn't seem to have slowed him down academically.

Nick is excited about his "end of the year" activities. He can't wait for Springbrook and the Graduation. He is really very funny. I will be curious to see how he transitions to 6th grade at Spring Creek. We are going to need to be an avid advocate for him initially to make sure he doesn't get behind. He still loves Legos and Wii Games. He has to be forced to go outside most days.

Jake has been a bit under the weather. He had a fever over the weekend and even threw up one night. He seems better, but every now and then he will complain of stomach ache or just being very tired. Hope he bounces back.

For Mother's Day Scott took the boys to the Farmer's Market to buy gifts for me. They got a really cute Hoops and Yo-Yo card and Nick made me a homemade bracelet. They made me brunch and then took me to dinner at Fong's Pizza after spending the day in the yard. I truly felt loved. Nick really wanted to "dress up" for dinner. He bought a new shirt and tie to go with his blue sport coat. He even wanted new shoes. He claims he has a good sense of style. I Love him. We ended up going casual to Fong's. He will have to save his new clothes for another time.

I am woefully behind in the laundry and house cleaning department. I need to get on that. Same story, different day.
