First day of kindergarten

Today I dropped off Tyler for his first day of kindergarten. They changed it to full day this year so he stays until 2:30. I couldn't tell if he was excited or nervous. He was bluffing pretty well. I've got to admit, I've been pretty excited for this day to come. He's a ball of energy, and I was looking forward to having a place other than my house where he can channel it all. I did feel a little differently while dropping him off. I cried a little bit while I was leaving the school. You could tell that the teacher wanted us all out of there She told the kids to wave and the parents to leave. We'll see how the day went when I pick him up. He might not tell me too much.

Duh, duh, nu, nu

I know that I'm only going to be disappointed in the new 90210, but still I am so excited. I have the best memories of "Bev". The first one is my sister (Jenni) and me being so excited that we got cable in our room so we could secretly watch. Then, never wanting to go to Young Woman's because it was 90210 night. My mom made us, so we would set the VCR and cross fingers that my brothers didn't mess it up. Having 90210 nights at Sara's house (that memory is for you Lindsey). 90210 lasted me all through high school through college, and I must say, I never tired of it. Am I way too old to be so excited for the new one?

Little Austin

Today Tyler had a MINOR scrape on his knee, and thought he needed a bandaid. We came inside, and I put a bandaid on his knee. Austin starts motioning that he wants a bandaid too. He lifts up his shorts so that I can put a bandaid on his knee just like Tyler. This is the first time he has indicated a desire to copy his brother (other than wanting a toy of his). I had to take a picture of the cute matching bandaids.

Mike bought a love sac beanbag so they could wrestle. It is a big hit!

Austin loves to turn the TV off and run. He thinks he is so funny when he does this; he cracks up every time! Tyler does not crack up.

This is our favorite face. When he says "WOW" it is so cute.

Pokemania

Tyler has been obsessed with Pokemon lately. I don't even think he really GETS it. He just likes to watch the show and look at the cards. We bought him his first pack of cards the other day at Target. He was so excited he took them into the bath tub with him. After we had explained that you can't do that, we spread them on the floor to dry and he was off to bed. In the morning he asked me if his eyes were red. "No, why do you ask?" He answered, "I was up all night looking at my pokemon cards". I doubt he was up ALL night, but thought it was funny that he was up out of bed looking at these useless cards. He and our little neighbor have been back and forth trading cards. She likes all the cute ones, and Tyler all the mean looking dudes. Tyler asked us if we knew the most powerful pokemon. When Mike teased that it was daddymon, Tyler got all upset. "THERE IS NO DADDYMON!" I've heard so much about Pokemon that I dreamed about it last night. I don't want to be dreaming of pokemon...

School Supplies

Dear Target and Wal-mart,

My son Tyler attends a snotty, picky school so please stock more CRAYOLA brand crayons. Stone Ranch Elementary will not accept your "store" brand crayons, and now I will have to go to yet ANOTHER store.

Love,
Sheri

Grand Theft Auto

We were test driving a car for Mike today, and Tyler piped up from the backseat, "So, are we stealing this car or what?"

How to make 4 kids happy all at once...

The day I babysat the neighbors two youngest kids last week we had popsicles more than once. It was the only time it was quiet!
