Word from the Young

I was with my friends tonight for one of our late nights (12:30a.m.) and we were talking about our kids. I was reminded of a day when my friends son, Luke(age 3 at the time) was at my house, it was in the morning and I hadn't gotten ready for the day, which means no make-up. So he focuses on me for a few moments and then says, "When did you get a new face? I liked your old face better!" Which means that my old face is the one with make-up on. How ironic. Kids definitely are honest. Should we be more like that? That is a tough question!

I am finally feeling like I am getting a little more control of my life. Besides that the Christmas tree is still up in the corner and the Valentine decorations are in the other corner. So besides that, life is moving along. We are full of indoor soccer for Stewart and James, I really can't see how I will do it when 4 different boys are in all their different sports. I know so many do it, so I will need lots of advice and some really good crock pot recipes. Jeff went without dinner tonight, he was the Soccer Dad and I was the Young Womens Leader. James got the ball in his face and ended up with a bloody nose. James does not do well with blood so it was all over. But once it stopped bleeding then he was right back in the game. He told me that he hates to sit out, he wants to be in playing. Most of the kids his age need a break, but he wants to be in the heat of it. Besides that when he is in he looks like he is doing some odd dance. He isn't quite sure what to do out there, so he just kinds of moves to his own beat and tries to touch the ball once in a while. He loves the game. Also this is another funny moment for James. Last night when I was putting him to bed I was singing songs to him and then I told him to sing one to me. Well then he asks me if it should be a funny one or the Pokemon song, or about Star Wars. When he finally makes up his mind he proceeds to sing me the whole Bakugan Theme Song, perfectly! Well he just may end up being my lead singer. It was halarious.
