another new week

my two youngest sons are just bouncing off the walls today!! and they feed off each other's energy. wears me out entirely. they're like little whirring tops, banging into walls and each other and the ceiling from time to time!! even sending them outside after school today to run amuck in the yard didn't do much, very odd for them actually.

girlchild isn't feeling well so spent most of the day laying on the sofa watching princesses (the cure for all ills, it works really). today we've seen the little mermaid, cinderella, cinderella 3, lady and the tramp, and the tigger movie. we also had a few recorded eps of angelina and dora. and lest you think that's all we did, we also played princesses, read a thousand books, and played three games (zingo and bob the builder) :-)

my mellow son-two has been cursed with the homework from the darkside this school year. i have resorted to making lists so he gets all the items completed. most aren't due the next day, some are longer term projects and one is review notes. but it's a bit overwhelming for him, and the list is helping break it down into smaller portions.

tomorrow is a day off school for the boys, a day of school for girlchild and an in-between day for me!!
