Crazy, Crazy, and More Craziness

My poor neglected blog, but it was a busy summer and the fall now has been even busier, and I didn't think that was possible. Thankfully, soccer season is almost over, which will free up some time. Less shuttling around of children. And for the record, Mason LOVES soccer! He would play and just have a big grin on his face the whole time, for him, it was a total thrill! Matthew likes it, but I don't think he will ever love it. He likes the socializing aspect the most...strange considering he was the toddler/preschooler that had socializing issues. Go Figure!!! School seems to be going well for the boys, conferences are right around the corner so we shall see what that brings. In the meantime, Mason has the flu. We made it through Halloween, totally got lucky on that since I've heard of several families where at least one sibling was sick on Halloween, see example here. But the next morning, which was one of the best mornings of the year to sleep in, Mason was up at 5:30 am!! Yeah, I was thrilled! Not!! Grrrr....I got real testy with him and then tried to go back to sleep for awhile. Didn't work and it's just as well. By 8 am he was on the couch with a fever. And coughing. And chills. And throwing up. Let's just say he hasn't hardly touched his Halloween candy and the rest of us in this house are waiting for the other shoe to drop, as in, when are we going to get it?!?
