I like shoes

I feel the need to make a correction. When Samantha turned 1 in July I told the world she didn't like shoes - I was wrong. She loves them. Just not on her feet. She takes shoes that have been left in the living room, puts them on her hands and crawls around with them. It makes an interesting game of hide and seek when it's time for you to go somewhere and you need your shoes back. She loves doing it too, you leave half a dozen pair around and she's happy for hours. It may be a while before she decides putting them on her feet is ok (maybe when she learns to walk) I am concerned about a future shoe fetish . . . maybe a glove fetish?

1st day of school

Ready to go in

School began several weeks ago. The kids have been very busy since then. Its hard to get back into the swing of things. I like the summer - go and do and no being marked tardy. We went to SEP's tonight (parent teacher conference) The kids are doing well and are very excited about school. In fact Ethan's teacher used that word a lot....I think maybe with a capital E in bold EXCITED!!! oh well. I hope if she finds a volume knob she tells me about it - 'cause in 7 years I haven't found one.
Katie and Amberli have started dance. They are really enjoying that. They start gymnastics next week (just Ethan and Amberli).
