my 3 monkeys

This week is proving to be a little more trying than last.  The tears have started to slowly come...a little more each day.  Dyl is a trooper, he is "in the mode", relinquished to the fact that he has many more years of school ahead, and goes with a smile.  The twins are no so agreeable though.  They are "spoiled" by the convenience of the homeschooling we did for kindergarten, or just being with mommy all day : )  I have to admit it is hard to let them go each morning  : (  So we are just going to try and do things to keep their minds off school in the evenings.  We took a walk last night (boys rode their bikes actually).  It was fun for all.  Dyl is kinda out of control on his bike, he was riding really fast and tried to transition from the steet to the sidewalk, while turning at the same time to try and avoid the tubular railing along one side of the sidewalk.  He couldn't quite pull it off, slammed into the railing.  Thankfully nothing was broke or battered, besides his ego.  He was very sore this morning though.  Maybe do something a little less physical tonight ; ) !!

The first week of school has come to pass, and we all survived.  Everybody has a renewed appreciation for the weekend, or "free days' as the boys say.  Maybe we'll take a swim, since its still too hot to be outside for any other reason.  And lots of video game playing I'm sure.  Hopefully we can interest them in some of the Olympic games....Dylan actually stayed up thru the end of the opening ceremonies to see the torch lighting, which was really cool btw.

Well we are three days in and school is going great.  The boys all like their teachers.  The excitement of making new friends and seeing old friends, eating in the cafeteria, playing at RECESS, and even learning is bringing home smiles each day.  Now if this dang heat would go away, it would make the super long walk, all the way home ; ), a little more bearable.

Well the boys started school this week...all three of them!  And now they've left me with several hours a day to do something with MYSELF.  I couldn't think of anything better to do than make a website about them!!  Yes I already miss them.  I still haven't had the full experience of being home all alone (Kristof is keeping me company in my time of anxiety : )) but I'm sure it will take some getting used to when it finally does happen.  What's a mommy to do????
