Hot Wheels and School Orientation = Tired Boys




Today we took the boys into school to meet their teachers and school staff. We went after school when the hallways were clear - it's a good thing cause they quickly figured out the elementary building is layed out in squares and they can go around and around and end up in the same place. Lucas is more than ready to try half days this week, Eli actually seemed somewhat interested in the classroom although he did demonstrate how he could take the pencil sharpener apart. I'm praying the fire alarms are not an interesting item to him. Half days this week, see how it goes and we'll try full time next week. I'll bet there are tired boys and tired teachers by Friday.

We came home after the visit and they actually asked to look at books, reading them is not real exciting to them yet, but we talk about the story or as much as you can cover in 3 minutes or less.

Tonight they had a choice of video or playing before showers. They actually chose play - Hot Wheels all over the house, on the stairs, on the couch, ramping off the beds, over Sydney. We put a stop to the ramps when the dog became a part of the ramping system. Mike says we need more track, I think there is one grown up in this house reliving his childhood! All this excitement has led to very tired boys, young and those that may think they are......
