Xander's teacher, Mrs. Davis, whispered to me as I was picking them up from school that she would love to have 58 Xander's in her class. She said he is just the right amount of excited and interested in learning and stuff. Parents never tire of hearing wonderful things about their kids. It is interesting to see how Xander brings out the protective, loving person in so many adults.

so I thought it wouldn't hurt to share with everyone. Plus it gives me a place to keep track of the schedule that I most likely will not lose. If anyone has book suggestions please leave the title and author in comments, maybe even a why you like it. My main thing is I like my fiction books to be PG or cleaner and my non-fiction can be PG-13 or cleaner as long as it is not gratuitous. I had taken up reading Young Adult books as I was scared to go in the Adult section of the library after some shocking reading experiences.

It is interesting to watch just how long I get to use the computer before he comes over and talks my ears off. Even now after his brothers and dad are home. He usually spits out 5 or 6 sentences before taking a pause. (And yes I know some of you are thinking that sounds like Sara) Maxwell was cleaning up today so we could play Wii and he started talking, "I don't have to clean up those shoes. Those aren't my shoes. Those are Dad's shoes. I think I will clean up those shoes cuz that would be nice." and then he proceeded to move Dad's shoes into our bedroom.

my favorite animai is a eiephant and a monkey,

Maxwell is currently drawing and doing a webkinz battle in a notebook at the table. We will see how long this lasts.

When we told the boys about Brooke's broken arm Elijah said, "oooo lucky!" We were concerned he was referring to the broken arm and were relieved when the part of the story that interested him was that Brooke got to play soccer at recess and they don't get to play soccer at recess at his school.

I was trying to catch up on the computer this morning since I did not check emails or do anything yesterday! Max sat next to me harassing me for the computer the whole time. Finally I gave up on being able to concentrate and let him have the computer. Now that I have it back he is again back to harassing me. The poor kid has only an old, boring, sometimes busy adult for entertainment during the day. Yesterday Max and I went to my sister Carey's house. Carey let me use her sewing machine and sat next to me talking me through it the whole time.
