Life in Crazyland

I can't believe how much I wanted to write about and how I didn't get to ANY of it! It's been seriously crazy. First off, let me start by saying that last Saturday Luke's soccer game was played in the rain and with half his team. I'm guessing they didn't know that they play soccer rain or shine? Anyway, there were no breaks for those poor guys and they lost miserably. It was fun to watch though! Here we are on the sideline.Then Sadie finally got to pick the watermelon she planted and happily ate half of it. It was a small, personal size one and it was really good!

Maia is finally mostly potty trained. She still has some accidents when she can't quite make it to the potty in time but we're actually diaper-free! I still go by the diaper aisle and wonder if we need diapers before I realize we don't use them anymore. I'm not surprised after seven solid years of buying diapers! Wow. Even I can't believe it. It's no wonder we're broke.

I got a haircut. And not just any haircut...Casey didn't even recognize me when he came to pick me up! He really was standing next to me looking for me. I think it's shorter than it's ever been. I'd say it's right below my shoulders and layered. It was just soooo long that I couldn't take it anymore and had it chopped and I love it! Now don't get me wrong, I'm going to let it grow out and it probably won't be this short again but it's a nice change. I'll have to get a picture one of these days when I don't look like a tired, rundown house wife and post it. In other words, maybe tomorrow after I've been away camping! ;)

We had a cat adopt us. I don't know where it came from but it's hung around for quite awhile now and comes running everytime the kids go outside to play or we head out the front door. It's a really nice cat and even lets Maia carry it around nearly choking it to death. We don't know what to name him yet so we're open to suggestions. So far we have Prince Carlos, Snausage, Snowball, Cat and Cloud. Anyway, so if you come over expect to see it!

Other than that it's been isolated incidents of craziness. The other day I looked out my back window and saw two cows in my backyard! Okay, THAT surprised me. Not much does anymore, but that took me off guard! They ate the apples off my trees for awhile and left. Not many people can say that's happened to them so I feel kinda lucky in a weird way. Then they've changed the kids' bus routes and our bus driver seems to keep forgetting to stop here. She drove right past us Wednesday morning and then drove past us again yesterday when she was supposed to drop off Luke. Luke waved as they went by, I waved back and then called the bus place. And the list goes on and on. I needn't bore you or embarrass myself with all the rest but be assured that life is certainly crazy around here. Poor Amy...
