Injuries
I cut my finger yesterday and, as usual, I reacted as if my finger had been amputated. It was nothing compared to this:
I wish I could get better control of myself in these situations but it is truly a visceral reaction. I feel the need to plug my ears and run the vaccuum.

First day of School
I just found these pictures of Sydney's first day of Kindergarten and wanted to add them here! She loves school! I resolve to try harder to be current :).

Sydney
"What shall I do today?”
She thought as she brushed her hair a thousand times.
“I will put on the pink dress with the tiny white dots.
I will dust the furniture and teach the cat to fetch..." And just then, a strange wind pried open her bedroom window and she suddenly had an uncontrollable urge to spin and howl, to jump on her freshly made bed with her eyes shut tight. In other words, she was on the brink of a new discovery...

Disney
The Disney trip has concluded and we had loads of fun.
It took me 45 minutes per child to scrub, exfoliate, moisturize, massage, clip and clean each kid. The glitter was glued to their scalps and the stink was integrated into their systems. The boys at least will remember this trip forever. Luke was pretty funny- he completely panicked a few times- once at Animal Kingdom during the bug movie when he thought the bugs were going to exterminate us and once in Epcot on Space. He had heard that a couple of people had died on the ride a few years ago and was sure we would face the same fate. We had only three "pilots" in our car and he was sure if we missed pressing any of the buttons in the fourth seat we would plunge back to earth. He was literally screaming when he was fastened in and the doors were shut. Ha ha. He loved the ride though! The most impressive ride was "Soaring." My memory of it is clutching my harness and trying not to freak out- but hearing Sydney laughing and laughing
