No One Likes Change

Well, we are back in the school routine. I sent the kids back to school this week as I plan to start back at the end of the week myself. The kids spent the summer home with me and while I was nervous at the beginning of the summer how I was going to enjoy being a stay at home mom, the summer flew by and the kids and I had a great time.

Apparantly we had too much of a great time. Both Sophie and Mason are having a terrible time transitioning back to school. I drop off both kids in the morning, crying their eyes out. Sophie is having a really tough time, but is usually fine by the afternoon. Mason is crying all day and constantly crying for "mommy". My heart is breaking. They are both in new rooms so there is change there. Plus, add Mason's broken leg to the mix, and it's a mess.

Everyone tells me to relax..the kids will be fine. It has only been 2 days. It just is awful getting there.

Time to catch up

It has been a while since the last post cause we have been extremely busy in our house. We came back form vacation at the beach last week. The kids had a great time. They both enjoyed the sand and Sophie really enjoyed the ocean. Mason..not so much. The waves were scary and too loud for him. Since the weather was over 100 degrees on most days, it was no fun to stay out of the water with him. Sophie surprised us with going on some amusement rides even I would not venture (although that is not saying too much. She loved riding the teacups (spinning like crazy) and rode a car track that went superfast going backwards as well. She even kicked me offf the merry-go-round as support. She told me she could do it all by herself.

When we got back from the beach, we had my birthday and my grandmother's 90th. We had a family pary up at my cousin's Debbie's house. It was nice for everyone to be together.

The piece de resistance came Monday night. We were outside on the neighbor's playground set after dinner. Mason climbed up, but refused to slide down. I had to rescue him and when we went down the slide, he did something to his leg. He screamed and cried for several hours and to make a long story short... broke his leg. Yes. It is his Left leg, the lower portion. He got casted yesterday. His first choice was pink..but I talked him out fo that. He isnt in pain anymore and is being quite a trooper but it will be tough for us for a little while. He has to be carried or in a stroller since he can't weight bear. Right now he is fine, but I forsee him trying to get more active as he gets used to the cast. Luckily, toddlers heal quickly, so he is getting it off the day after Labor Day.

More updates later!
