Back to school!

 The boys with our neighbors at Preschool. 

I'm totally redoing this picture either on Thursday or next week when it's not raining out and I can maybe get their attention enough for smiles....and maybe not have people standing in the background too!! I'm such a pain when it comes to pictures!

 I told them I'd take a silly picture of them...

 Eager to start their day!

 My little tater tot.. not sure how in the world he's old enough to be in Preschool!!

Jake was obviously less than interested at looking at the camera..or really paying attention to the crazy lady trying to hug him!

Jacob started his 2nd year of Preschool today and Zach started his very first day! They were both very excited but Zach was a little apprehensive..he started the day off by saying he didn't want to go to preschool. He happily sat his cute little tush down on the carpet when I dropped both of them off and was absolutely fine! I think I was expecting more emotion from him than I got!! I must say, I felt lonely getting back in the car by myself..and driving home, alone. I got teary-eyed for a few minutes and then got home and began doing laundry...and watched shows that I had DVR'd that I would normally wait until naptime to watch! I did leave a few minutes earlier than necessary to pick them up...I guess I missed them! I think they were just as happy to see me at noon as I was to see them!

We also had soccer tonight. Last week was supposed to be our last week but because of the hurricane it was postponed until this week (the field that they play at was super swampy). There is rain in the forecast everyday for this week so instead of playing on the field, we're playing in a big room at the municipal building. Well, it seems like a big room until you fill it with the teams, the teams that are supposed to play a game after our kids play, the teams that are currently still playing even though we should've started already, and everyone's parents/siblings/family members. With the soccer "field" outlined with masking tape in the middle with cones around it the room seemed quite small!! Our shortened game still seemed to last forever in there...I'm sure tomorrow will be just as wonderful.

We've been busy with more house stuff...I guess the house "stuff" list is never ending when the house is 60+ years old and hasn't ever really had anything done to it. Our last "weekend" project is insulating the attic. Daniel decided that the blow in insulation was the best choice for us but he had to pry up about 40 (give or take a few) pieces of plywood (not full sheets...they were maybe half of a full sheet each..still, a lot!!) and then had to build up the "attic floor" (I have no clue what it's called) so we won't lose a lot of storage space..and so one day we'll be able to put central air in the house and won't have too many issues. Needless to say, the temperature went back up over the weekend so it got way too hot to be working up there for any length of time. I kept checking on him to make sure he was still okay up there and to try to convince him to stop. He worked as long as he could on it and got almost all of the platform built. We're hoping to get it totally finished this weekend coming up (well, I guess he's hoping to get it finished on Saturday so he can enjoy his birthday on Sunday!!). I'm getting a new light in my staircase too which I'm thrilled about...it's just a huge pain in the butt! The first one we got broke during installation (and a $169 light should not break while it's being hung!) and I'll have to take a little drive to get to another store that has any in stock. Fingers crossed for better luck the second time around!

Other than that, life is boring! We'll see how Zach does tomorrow when we take Jacob to Preschool but Zach has to leave with me! (Jake is going Mon-Fri in the mornings but Zach only goes Tues & Thurs mornings.)

I asked them to put their arms around each other and this is what I got!

Hopefully I'll get back into posting everyday!
