Not blogging in awhile makes me feel the same feeling that I get when I haven't been to church in awhile...which is going on now too.  Double Whammy!

I wanted to document a few things that have been going on.  Nothing bad, just want to remember!

1.  Hagen LOVES school!  It is still so precious to me to drop him off in carpool and watch him go into the school.  He is just so little compared to the other kids....but then again they could be in the older grades.  He did get in trouble the 2nd day of school (way to go kid) and was talking too much.  He had to sit out during the first 5 minutes of recess.  Luckily since then it hasn't been a problem.  I found out his teacher is the lead in the kinder classes, she has been there for 8 years, and I love her already!

2.  Hazel and her biting is getting out of control.  I got a naughty note yesterday that said, "Hazel was dancing to the music and then just stopped and bit her friend."  So later that night I was washing dishes after dinner and she came up behind me and was hugging my legs...or so I thought.  She wasn't crying or ANYTHING!  I all of a sudden felt this pain...sharp pain and she had bitten me on my thigh.  SO hard that it immediately left a bruise and puffed up.  I screamed because it hurt and it scared her.  She scampered out of the kitchen and I went to go put her in timeout...she was hiding behind a chair in the dining room (where time out is).  I pulled her out and she pouted and then cried.  I feel sorry for the babies in her class she bites...freaking hurt!

3.  I am going to be an aunt on 10.11.12...don't know what it is but am DYING to know.  They have one of each and this is their last so they decided to keep it a secret.  Names are secret too...

4.  a week before Hagen started school Ryan and I went to the Lake of the Ozarks at my parents lake house and spend a week...WITHOUT.KIDS.  It was fabulous!  Our 10 year wedding anniversary is this year in October.  We didn't want one of the grandma's to have to get him to school at 7:30 so we went before it started.  It was so relaxing!  Even though we helped build a sidewalk for my Uncle...I swear working at the lake in 80 degree weather without the kids is FUN!!  So thankful that Nana took Hagen and my Mom kept Hazel...dividing and conquering is key.  Hazel came home with a new baby.  She got attached to it at a store and Mom quickly got it for her and she held onto it all week.  Hagen is still detoxing from the sugar he had. 

5.  I have been eating like CRAP since we got back from the beach!  I was doing so good and then just went nuts.  My main problem is chocolate...any chocolate. 

6.  Working out...well it has been also hit and miss since the beach.  I'm starting back up and Ryan is starting Crossfit also.  I think it will help us both if we keep each other accountable.

7.  Thank the lord Hagen wakes up to his alarm.  He woke me up at 6:34...and if he didn't I wouldn't have gotten up until I just happened to wake up because mine wasn't set!  We have to leave at 7:30 on.the.dot. in the morning to ensure that my plan goes perfect.  My clock was actually on and set but for 7:30.  THAT would have been disastrous waking up when we are supposed to be walking out the door. 

8.  Cannot wait for the fall.  Hazel's wardrobe is adorable...Hagen's shorts are getting short so jeans will be a nice change...I am dying to put my boots on. 

9.  Hazel went to the doctor last week because she got a spider bit (actually 2) on her cheek!  They were huge!  She is OK though.  She is a mosquito magnet.  The spider bites are clearing up and now she has welts on her whole body from the mosquitoes!!  GRR!!!!

10.  Work is busy and great as always...
