Monday morning madness

Monday morning, up early...coffee, lunch boxes, breakfast, red ribbon week (in two different schools-challenging), Rachael's Challenge meeting, Destination Imagination meeting, grocery shopping. Heading out the door we (Triniti) realize that "we" don't have our shoes for P.E. They are at dad's house. Dad only lives 1.5 miles away, so no big deal. We head by there on our way to school. 

I've seen a car parked there before, but I guess I wasn't really sure why it was there. Triniti has a key and let herself in to get her shoes. What she found was something else entirely. A woman in her dad's bed. Now, looking back, I know I shouldn't have let her go in. I should've called him first. I don't know, but I really didn't think it was a woman in there! Triniti was completely freaked out (as expected). Her dad was completely freaked out as well when he called to apologize. Hopefully she forgets about the whole thing soon. 

Trouble with the GROWTH curve

Got to go on a date night with my husband tonight! We went to the movies. Haden stayed with my mom and her fiancé, John.

Really liked the movie we saw, "Trouble with the curve." It's a Clint Eastwood film and it has a lot of really good actors in it, and a good message.

Today was a pretty good day. Over the weekend Xander put on some pants and they were too small. I went through his closet and cleaned out a mountain of clothes!! It's funny how one day their clothes fit, and the next they don't. Talk about trouble with the curve... Xander has struggled with the growth curve since he was a year old. He has always been really small. Luckily there was a coupon for 30% off at The Children's Place. I went and bought a couple pair of jeans and a few shirts for $40. Not bad.

He's 3'8"! He's lost 4 teeth & has a loose tooth right now. He is so sweet and funny. We have a hard time when he argues or needs to know ALL of the details of the day, but overall...he's a good boy. I wonder what kind of teenager he will be. Love that kid!
