I don't have Halloween pictures to post. Will didn't want to dress up. Zachary did, but wouldn't wear the head piece and Andrew wasn't having anything to do with pictures. We joined our friends, the Poulks, and went around their hood collecting candy. That's about it. It was fun hanging out with them, but the night was cut short since school was happening the next day. The End.
We're starting the season of life where nothing slows down. Sports are gearing up for Andrew. My boy is so ready to play basketball. He's itching for his first practice. I'm gonna brag on him. He's good. Really good. In fact, there isn't a sport he's tried that he doesn't show a great deal of potential. It's his thing. I'm thankful. He went to evaluations last week for basketball. We have a friend whose husband is one of the coaches. He tried to "snag" Andrew for his team, but someone had already gotten him. This friend's hubs said Andrew is "money". Color me all shades of proud.
Zachary is Zachary. He loves life. Does his thing. I can't really define what his "thing" is, but he's just busy being busy. He got his very first report card. Not at all surprised he did well. Well, I lie. I was a bit apprehensive as to what his teacher would say. Slightly worried we jumped the gun on putting him in Kindergarten being a young 5. His teacher said he's above benchmark on several areas and right on target for others. I'll take it. He isn't playing sports this season. I'm not sure he's all that into sports. I do believe he'll be our artsy/musical kid. I'm interested to see what potential he has in that area. He has a beautiful, cherub like voice. Stay tuned.
Will, the Hulk, Perry. This child is a force. He's a brute (oh so cute too)! To date he's had more bruised up, cut up, beat up looks on his face/head than my other 2. I know CPS will be knocking on the door any day. He loves to talk. Imagine that. Gets it honestly, right? He has a huge vocabulary. It's nice to have a complete conversation with him. You know what? He loves sports like Andrew. Can swing a golf club, throw a ball pretty hard and far and he's built like a linebacker. I see lots of games and such in our future. I may need to buy another minivan just to accommodate the equipment and stuff.
All in all we've been busy, busy, busy. I'm hoping this holiday season we'll slow down and savor the moments. Hard to believe another year has come and gone. I pray I don't let the moments pass me by.
That said, love on your family, your friends, those who are struggling, complete strangers, neighbors, etc. Say I love you more often. Give a hug when least expected.
