I Know, I Know

One class left. And a capstone (whatever that is). Then I will be Mrs. B. Roth, BGS. I will totally change my blog title even. Which is not very impressive. But it's not nothing.

So. How's life?

Canon turned 5. He's in a new school and seems very happy about life in general. Wrote his numbers to a hundred last week. Calls me Ms. Brandy, Ms. Brandy Dan, and Ms. Fancy Pants. He pretty much teases me incessantly. And says poop way too much. I love seeing his big smile so often tho.

Sagan is 2 and a half. She loves to giggle and sing with me. She skips. The boys would walk or run or climb or jump ... she skips around the room. In the middle of the night, if she wakes up, she brings her water bottle, her purse, her baby, a book, and sometimes a blanket and pillow into our room. Sometimes it takes her two trips. And she is anti-blankie, where as I am extremely pro-blankie AND she and I fight over who gets to sleep on the edge ... why does she never try daddy's side?

Crichton got a blue ribbon in the science fair (shh, blue ribbon=participant) for his potato electricity project. Also, he made a cool desert diorama. And he had to sew a dress for his classes Hundred Dresses project (a small dress, not a real one). Projects are fun. He's in choir and after school sport club thing. His bike got stolen because he didn't lock it one morning when his hands were cold (dammit), so we have to drive him to school and he walks home. He reads a lot. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians. Last night he said, "I wish every time you turned a page, another page would appear at the back of the book, so it'd never end." We recommended he read Robert Jordon's books.

Greggie Poo is working hard and writing. In November he finished a novel. WRITING. And I'm reading it and I like it. (He doesn't like it when I write about him ...)

Me? I work a couple hours at my old job, pretend to do homework and lesson plans all afternoon, then go to my new job, Canon and Sagan's new school, and work 4 hours, come home, make dinner, put kids to bed, watch TV with beloved, sleep happily. Oh, and I'm a singer in a band. I'll post my music videos once they are finished. I'm not kidding. And sometimes I make balloon animals just for fun. Monkeys are still my favorite.

I need to have a family portrait taken. My little family is so dang cute right now ... I don't think we are ever gonna be this cute again ... the boys will start dressing weird and making "decisions" about their hair ... Sagan will grow out of cute big baby and become cute little girl (maybe it's already too late). Yes, need a family portrait.

OK. On to homework, lessons, guitar playing, etc.

MUAH!

I love, love, love hearing about your cute family! Go get a picture this week! (I've been saying the same thing for a year:) Your kids are so cute and talented. I love that Sagan brings all her lovies to bed--and it sounds so much like her cousin Sophia. I can't believe Cannon counts to 100 and writes it! Holy Cow! When will Greg send us a copy of his novel? And look at you, working, singing, mommy-ing, and almost finished with school. Busy girl! You guys are awesome and we miss you. I'm glad your blogging again, it makes you feel closer.
