Letter from Corrin
Corrin learned how to make a man out of one piece of paper and was so excited about it. Anyhow she was susposed to be in bed and I went upstairs and found she had made me a man and this is the letter that was inside.
"Dear Mom,
I made this man for you. You are sweet, loving, kind, nice. I stayed up till 8:45 but it was worth it. We did this in class but it was bigger and you have to guess which desck is mine and it has my girl that I did it looks like me alot and it took two hours to do at school and we did it from a pieace of paper.
From Corrin"
I left the spelling the same and the extremely long run on sentence the same way she did it. My heart is just huge right now w/the love she showed me in a man and a piece of paper. What a kid I will keep her. Like there was any doubt

Open house night
Well after a week of dreading my kids going back to school tonite we went to the school. It was Open House night and they got to take in all their stuff. I am so happy w/the teachers they all got so that has not been my worry at all. It's the letting them go part. However we went to Ian's class first and this is like home to me since Corrin and Connor have been in there for the past 4 years combined and we LOVE Mrs. Forrest. Ian was so happy to find his cubby and spot to sit. He even tested out his seat and it fits just right. Then onto Connor's class. Now this teacher we have never had before but I have talked to her a few times. The first words out of her mouth were "I am so happy to have Connor in my class I know his mom will help out alot" so I guess my reputation is a good one. I love to help in the class and so the opportunity to do it w/a happy teacher makes my day. Lastly was Corrin. She has had her heart set on her teacher and she was not disappointed her teacher is a real sweetheart. She is however battling breast cancer so we have her high on our prayer list. She was a real doll and also very happy to have a Mom help out in the class. I LOVE IT!!! So I am going to go to bed w/a happy heart tonite and tell the tears to not come until after I leave them on Monday. However I don't know that they will listen. Thankfully the good Lord has my back I just need to remember that. Reminds me of the old hymm "Yes, He cares I know He cares ..." can't remember now but it makes me feel good b/c I have spent too much time worrying and God is in control and I have been trying to drive this wheel of life all on my own and it's not working. But I still hate to leave my babies and esp hate to send my Ian when he has never been away from his mommy. Ok I end it here...

Not Me Sun/Monday
Ok I am not even half as computer savy as Tiffani but I am going to do a Amy not as good as Tiff version of Not Me Monday. However my Not't have to do w/Sunday hence the title.
These are just a few of the things I did NOT do yesterday. I guess I should go back to Sat. I did NOT got out on a date w/my hubby for our Anniversary 15 yrs thank you very much. I had every intention to get back early but forgot Donnie's always late. So we left the kids at a friends for her 14 yr old daughter to watch the kids. I did NOT promise we would be back early and not get there till 10:30. I would NOT ever say I was going to be early and not be. So my kids didn't get out of bed very easily yesterday for church. I did NOT take a 7 yr old to the bathroom w/Kolette to have a
"talk" with him. He did NOT protest the entire way there. I did NOT offer to make him miss out on Childrens church if he couldn't keep his hands to himself.
Then to make matters more complicated I did NOT decide the perfect time to get the kids backpacks was yesterday afternoon. I did NOT have 2 boys messing around in the bra and panty section of Kohls. I did NOT hear Ian say he was going to buy Connor a bra. I did NOT offer to tape their hands together if they didn't leave each other alone. I did NOT wonder why I took all 4 kids shopping to Costco after that. I then did NOT consent to dinner out w/my in-laws in town. Now at least here the kids were good considering they were very tired. However since I have decided to be strict w/the getting on school time schedule I did NOT let the kids go to bed after 9. Then I did NOT have a hard time getting all of the up this morn even after 8. I am also NOT looking forward to getting Ian the reluctant up for school. That is NOT going to be fun.
Hope you all have a wonderful week of NOT's I know I will. But in all honesty I am very much not ready for my babies to go to school. And I am really wanting to be able to fall asleep w/o stressing over every little detail of what will happen on the first day/week of school.

Now I can breathe...
After wondering all summer who my kids had for teachers the wait is over. They posted the lists on the doors of the school. I am so happy all the hard work of writing letters this past spring paid off. Ian who says he is going to Mrs. Forrest and not kindergarten has gotten his wish and mine. Yahoo cartwheels all around for that!!!! Connor got Mrs. Moore and his best friend so he is a happy boy. And Corrin had her heart set on having Mrs. Garrett and she got her. She also got 2 friends and so that makes her happy since last time not one of her friends was in her class. However her teacher does have breast cancer so we will be putting in overtime praying for her healing. Now I just hope that I can help out during the times that Kolette is in Preschool so i don't have to miss being with her. I thank the good Lord for blessing my kids with great teachers. God is good all the time God is good!
From the mouths of babes...
Yesterday I was getting ready to just go to the store. Told the kids to get shoes on and all that jazz. Anyhow Kolette happened to be wearing a dress up ballet dress. I really didn't care as long as she got shoes on we were just getting bread. This is what Ian had to say:
Ian: No one is going to know Kolette belongs to you
Me: Why?
Ian: She is wearing a dress up dress
Me: Her face is clean, her hair is combed it is ok they will know she belongs to us
Ian: I don't think so
Hmmm sure makes you wonder s/times
Then Kolette says we should have tomato sauce to eat b/c it's Connor's favorite. He hates all things tomato. He objects and she lets out a laugh just like this: MwaHAHAHA! No joke. That girl is quite the tease. Cracks me up how much they know how to annoy the other.

Hot August Nights
Connor and Kolette were so tired after walking all day they took a break while daddy talked cars again!
Corrin is always willing with a piggy back ride. Ian was the lucky one this time.
I was excited to find a car as bright as the kids shirts. The very idea of having the kids blending in in such a crowded place drove me mad. So thanks to my friends Scott and Buffy these "Can you see me now" Harley davidson shirts are just the right thing. I heard comments everywhere we went about their shirts and how people liked them. I am sooooooooooo not a fan of crowds it makes me almost sick. So holding hands and bright shirts makes me relax. We did have a great time but I was so glad to be home.
