Emma and Zach have been cruising along in their school reading program and earning medals for every 25 hours read: Zach is coming up on his 10th medal and Emma on her 8th. Wearing a stack of medals is so cool. And lately Meg has had to have one on too. (nevermind the boxes in the back… packing has already begun!)
The big kids are doing the kids marathon again this year, and are back to the mile-a-day running. Most of the time they run around the cul-de-sac (and I wonder if the neighbors think I send them out to run as a punishment or something) but sometimes we venture out through the neighborhood. This day Carter ran the whole way (although the hand-holding was just at first.)
Meg adores Zach. (and his hat, and his glasses…) She has such a good time playing with him. And it is nice to be able to have him entertain her sometimes now that she doesn't like the saucer.
And we are into the "moving" phase. The people that will be renting our house need to have all their stuff moved in by the day before we move our stuff out so we have been trying to clear out some room for them… resulting in the not so classy but super fun addition of our box springs and mattress on the floor in the family room. The kids have never seen anything cooler. Perfect for movie night/sleepover…
…and also the catalyst for turning the basement into a "locker room". For our baseball players, of course. (They were disappointed to find out that their set-up will not be permanent.)
and lastly, this is what 9:30am looks like when Zach goes to bed at 11:30 pm after spending a fun-filled night at the Twins game with Nate. (It is also what 10:30 looked like… and even 11:15…) Guess he was tired! I have renewed faith that someday we'll all sleep in around here. :)
