What a day! We have had very busy weeks lately, with me filling in at work again and all of the kids STILL being sick with allergy. BUT, today was different. I finally had an off day (I have been working including Saturday's) a lot. So I decided that Allee would wear big girl panties all day, no matter what. AND SHE DID! She did not have on single accident. We even had to travel to Fayette for Aiden's first Baseball game. We were getting ready to go and I had a pull up laid out to put on her. She started crying and said, "No, I'm not wearing that. I already have panties on." So against my better judgement, I let her travel in panites, with an extra suit with me. She saw me packing the shorts and questioned me by saying, "Why you putting those in the bag? I already got shorts on." So off we go.
Aiden's first Game: Picture this....Rick coaches, so he's getting coolers, bags, balls, bats...out of truck; Aiden fell asleep on the way; Evan on my hip with a runny nose; Allee in the front of the stroller; sleeping Aiden with ball uniform and all, in the back; Mommy pushing stroller with one hand and holding Evan with other! We look like the Brady Bunch walking in! One of the Mom's came to my rescue and got Evan until we settled in, then NaNa and Pop rescued him. I spent most of the time back and forth to the bathroom with Allee, and Aiden had to rely on Coach Dad to help him out. Of course, his first at bat, he was on deck and declared he needed to potty (even though that was suppose to be taken care of earlier), but he waited! They were all so cute. He hit the ball well every time, but got a little sided tracked in the out field. Our team actually had a pile up in the field. Looked good if it had been a football game instead. But we did well for our first game and most importantly, the kids had a blast! Thanks to everyone who made game number 1 a hit!
Tomorrow - I get to go on a quest for "Fire Star" panties! (Spiderman's sidekick...) Don't think I am going to have any luck, but for the day we had, it's worth a try!

WSUS?
I know it has been a while, busy, busy week. For someone who quit her job, I have been working an awful lot this past week. My boss is having some family sickness and I am filling in for her.
Aiden stricks again ------
This morning, I was taking the kids to school. They have all had bad allergy attacks, runny nose, cough, you know...we all have it. Aiden has a HORRIBLE cough. As we were driving in this morning, he had been coughing since we left home. I had already asked if he needed me to take him to see Dr. Rob and he did! Then, out of the blue he said, "I am W-S-U-S- Sick!" "What?" I said. He spelled it again. I said, "What does that spell Aiden?" "It spells, SICK, Mom, That's what I am." I corrected his spelling and he was content with that. It was so cute. I guess you never realize how much you spell in front of your kids.
A couple of nights ago, we were reading our books and they had picked a song book. Aiden and I were singing, "I have decided to follow Jesus." The book had five verses. He was keeping up with me on the verses until the third verse and he had no clue, had never heard it. As I was repeating it for the third time, he stopped and looked at me with the most serious look and said, "Mom, I think this song is in Spanish."
One more....Same night, we were talking about not being afraid of the dark..b/c he really is. I was explaining how we have to stay in bed and how God will watch over us and all that...He was still resisting me leaving the room. I finally asked, "Aiden, why do you want me too stay in here with you so badly. You have sissy." He did his little finger motion for me to lean in closer so he could whisper in my ear. He said in a whisper, "It's because I am gonna marry you when I get big." Now as flattering as that is, I had to quickly explain that mommy is already married to daddy and he would have to choose another wife when he gets big, but it is nice to know you are loved. Then Allee chimed in, "I married Shelby yes-er-day!" That just reaffirms to me that they have no idea what they are talking about!
