Where oh where is my little boy?
It hit me the other day when I looked at Alec...really looked at him. He's really growing up fast! I can't believe he is 7! My favorite number. So many things, this age brings. He is really growing and developing in all areas of his life. He is not the shy little boy anymore! No sir, he will now answer when an adult talks to him! Big steps! He's been really taking off in reading! He sat and read me several "reader" books today and was so proud of himself. It's just clicking for him! He's one of the top guys in his hockey team and I'm impressed when I watch him and his "skills" on skates! We went ice skating and gulp it's finally happened...my kid can skate faster than me! I think, the only reason he learned to skate was to whip me in a race! Oh and to eat,sleep and drink hockey! If he could play hockey all day life would be good for him! He has also turned into a cunning little comedian and sneak! After, I announced to the kids we were going to head down to the schoolroom in a few minutes so let's clean up our lunch mess he came over to me. He promptly told me he thought he would like to go clean his room..not just a little, but really clean his room.He was going to get it cleaner than he had ever done before...hmmmm do I smell a rat? Nice try Alec! I smiled and said that's great...right after we finish school! Mister funnypants has been trying to pull one over on me every day now....I have no idea where he gets it! :) I am really proud of him!
Makin' Mom Happy!
Nothing makes me happier than when my little ones are loving each other up! I hope my children grow up to be best friends with each other. Here my "middles" are lovin' each other up at one of our favorite restaurants in town "The Pasta Shop."

Nick learned to ice skate
Nickolaus began ice skating lessons and is doing rather well. He can ice skate around and is the best in his group..I'm not just saying that...the other two can't even stand on their skates and Nick can skate and skate and skate! I'm so proud of him! He really likes to make ice angels...taking after a certain big sister I suppose!
Our Nature walk
We were having a hard day doing school work one day last week, so we decided to move it outdoors. Well, the kids thought it would be fun to dress up as "fall." So, we went frolicking down the street to the local university's large "playground." Everybody in their car's kept looking at us smiling...I'll admit I was a tad bit embarrassed, but hey at least they're cute! They had fun rolling down the hill...again more stares....but my kids were having fun!
