So, we didn't have a lot of questions tonight....the boys didn't feel like taking it seriously this evening.
1. If you were ice cream, what flavor would you be?
Andrew - Neapolitan, because I'm well rounded
Max - Vanilla because I'm white
Ryker - Bubble Gum because.....um......I'm delicious
2. What is stashed under your bed right now?
Andrew - Carpet , seriously it's clean under my bed right now.
Max - Whatever Ryker throws under there when he plays XboX in my room....probably dishes
Ryker - I don't even know.....probably a bunch of stuff.
3. If they made a movie of your life, who would play you?
Andrew - Ryan Reynolds.....I've been told I kind of look like him
Max - Nick Cage
Ryker - Adam Lavigne
4. When you look at your life so far, what's one think you've accomplished that you can't believe has happened.
*Now this is when things got a little too heavy for the two younger boys and we had to quit after this question.
Andrew - I have a certificate signed by the President of the United States (for doing so well in his gifted schooling program)
Max - I haven't accomplished anything (this made momma sad, and we then had a long talk about what constitutes an "accomplishment")
Ryker - I'm awesome at soccer and voilin

So, I've decided AGAIN that's it's time to do something about my weight. It's time to stop being complacent about my life and my health. So I've decided to go back to my Wednesday weigh ins -- and I've decided to put them here on the blog for the world to see......and to try and keep myself accountable. So at my last weigh in I started at 235 pounds. :(

Back to School 2013
Well the boys have made it through the first week of the new school year. Everything seems to be going great so far.
Ryker is now in 4th grade. He really likes his new teacher and has quite a few friends in his class. He's really excited to be learning new things in math and science and is reading big chapter books every night. His current reading is the Hunger Games books and he loves them.
Max is in grade 8 this year. His last year of Jr. High. He grew like a weed this summer and is now the tallest kid in the house and only about 4-6 inches shorter than his dad. He's still got his quick wit, which I think would make him a great lawyer, but he says he's going to become an engineer.
Finally my Andrew. Grade 11!!! How did that happen. He's such a busy kid this year. He's got a full plate of classes (and picking up an extra grade 12 class next semester), he's working part time, he's head of the drama club, he's in the school play, he's on student council. It seems to me that the boy is a bit like his mother.....thriving in the chaos. He also got his learner's license this summer! EEP!!!
They are all at such fun ages now! But a part of me still wishes that time would slow down. I'm not ready to start looking at universities and thinking of how they'll manage life on their own. If anyone has a magic potion to keep them young just a little longer......you know where to find me.
