I guess im back.

I have lost or cant get to my normal online journal so I guess its time to use my faithfull blog againe.

So whats been up and happened lately?
Well ill start with Daniel. He just had his 4th birthday and party, it was wonderfull and he was sooooo happy!! He is talking allot more now, still in therapy but talking is good. He is in the middle of a total redo and getting a new evaluation. Goes for his check up in a few days. He has been major stubborn this week but im thinking mabey he feels bad or somthing. He has done great this winter wth not getting sick. Im hoping it stays that way.

Michael is well doign o.k. Still getting his therapy also. He was doing great in Kindergarten but now is having issues and may need to be held back. I was upset at first but now im o.k. Dont want to push him if he is not ready for 1st grade. He is growing up, getting smarter and talking more. Im am very frustrated with his diagnosis right now. He only has a diagnosis of sensory problems. But the reason is when he had his last eval almost three years ago they said he was mentally not able to do the eval so they would do it when he was able. Well that was almost three years ago and now nobody wants to do it. School says the Dr needs to do it, Dr says its the schools job?? So he gets little help other than his two therapys because he has no diagnosis. Yet kids better off than him in his class get tons of help cause they have a official diagnosis. Yeah I am not venting about it, usually I just keep it to myself but im tired of all of this. I cant get my kid what he needs no matter how hard I try.

Well other than the kids not allot going on. Hauling the boys to soccer practice and games, and therapy, ect. I dont have allot of free time.

I did run two 5K's. In Feb my time was 32.06 and the one in March was only 28.40!! Now im running anotehr next month and im hoping for at least one second faster, thats all I ask is one second. Mabey I can do it?

Halloween.

I first of all had a awsome vacation and will post pics later when I find time.

We took the boys out for halloween and both the little dino's had tons of fun. We did a fall festival instead of the traditional halloween thing. We carved our pumpkins also!! I guess all is going well right now. NOt much to talk about. I think im running a 5K in Feb!! Ive been thinking about it for a long time now and I guess im finally goign to do it. I can allready run the milage needed but still want to up my miles before I actually do it or increase my speed. Im running with a friend so whatever speed she goes, I will go. So if she is a little slower cause she is shorter and all then ill go shorter. Its more important to finesh with her than run fast!!!! Im kinda excited about it, having my Chiro work out a few things also that should make it easier for me. I have a one hour massage scheduled friday, yeah I know I cant rememer the last time I did somthing that good for myself??

Its that time

Well almost that time. I leave in four days for a kidless/husbandless vacation. Just a few friends and thats it!! I have never been away from my kids like this but I think its about time. Daddy can take care of the boys just fine. Ill only be gone four days but its a much needed break from it all. Im picking up the Prius tommarrow to drive on vacation, the van would use too much gas and who needs a minivan for only two adults. I need a non mommy car for this trip!!! Im just over excited!

In other news my weeks sounds crazy busy.
Mon: clean clean clean
Tue: Beach playdate and pick up car
Wed: Grocery store at 7:30am, speach after than, then a Chiropractor appt in the afternoon and rock climbing that night.
Thurs: Speach appt, packing, then leaving to spend the night with my friend so we can leave before the sun even thinks of coming up!!
Friday: drive 500+ miles to my destination!!!

SAT-Mon fun fun fun and drive home.

Cool toys. Im not buying anymore battery toys for awile. I bought my kids a train today, a plain and simple wood train. No sounds, no batteries, nothing. They love it, and they played for hours with it. Goes to show you kids using their imagination is a good thing. We dont even turn the TV on anymore, I dont need a TV to babysit my kids or entertain them. I sure dont need it to teach them or the computer for that either. They learn better when I teach them, I dont see how letting PBS, blue or barney teach them things is good??

Changes

I once againe have changed my blog name. I could not leave it as a picture blog if I never keep up. I also changed the background coler for now. Now im green not pink!!

I forgot one importand Daniel update. He has been potty trained for a few months now!!! So I have no kids in diapers. Well Daniel still has nighttime accidents so he wears a pull up overnight but thats it thankfully!!!

Time for a update.

Michael Started Kindergarten last month and so far things are going o.k. Sensory issues are really bothering him right now so we are working on that. They want him to have another evaluation to see whats going on psychologically?? I just know dealing with a child with problems is very difficult esp when it comes to school. Now our Insurance is changing also so the therapist who has seen him for the last 3+ years is not accepting the new insurance so he has to change. This will not be fun cause Michael and change do not go very well together. But we will get through it.

Daniel is doing great. He is talking more everyday. He has learned his ABC's and now is learning to write them. He knows all his shapes and colers. They had me apply for preschool but he did not get in and im kinda thankfull. I like teaching him at home for now. He still goes to speach thearpy twice a week and its perfect cause while he gets thearpy I volenteer as a sanity saver in Michael's class!! We have been going to tons of playdates now that im the one planning them. Thats good for him also.

Im going on my first kid and husband free vacation in a few weeks. I cant wait!! Im sure I will miss them but I will enjoy the time off. Im starting back rock wall climging this week. We had to take some time off this summer cause it got too hot. They dont have AC, only huge fans and it was really hot in the warehouse. Not a whole lot else going on. Dh just went on a trip with Kip and he is going againe the weekend before my vacation.

Ill try and upload some more pics. I guess you can tell I gave up on my year of pictures. I also lost some blog entry's I had somehow?? Well back to adding more.

Busy very very busy. I will post more tomarrow but this past week has been crazy. We just got home from a birthday party and the kids are finally in bed!!

One day I will get back to posting my pictures. For the summer I have been so busy now that school is out and I have not had a moment to post any.

Day 25
