Today was a whirlwind…after getting home late last night for the foster parent meeting the boys woke up a tad crabby. Levi almost did a repeat of the first day of school, he almost got on the bus in his pajamas. See, my thing is if you can’t eat and get dressed in an hour then you can just go in your jammies. It’s only happened once. For some reason Levi just couldn’t seem to get motivated. He pulled it all together in the last 5 minutes and I was floored when Carlos (who had been a complete rockstar and ate and got dressed with time to spare to read books and hang out) lost it and ended up running outside in his socks while I put Levi on the bus. I sent him back inside to get shoes on and then got the van loaded for my MNMs meeting. So, we made a quick stop at school to drop Carlos, did MNMs then let the kids play at the park for a little before taking Alice to school.

Levi and Carlos got to go have lunch and Nana/Papa’s and I got a little break. Well, a break to fold 5 loads of laundry and tidying up the house while the other kids napped. Yeah, it was a break for me.

Family dinner tonight with Mary and Alice, a great Citrus Mahi Mahi that even the boys liked. It’s always relaxing to be with Mary and Alice, they truly are a part of our family.

We get Baby X (one of our former foster babies) for the weekend! We’re doing respite for his current foster home. Can’t wait, we surely got attached to him in the short time he was here. It’s always fun to see how much the babies change when we haven’t seen them in awhile. Speaking of babies, many have asked what happened to the little guy I went up to visit last week. Turns out he’d be more of a longer term placement so our house wasn’t the best fit. He’s with someone we know, though, so we’ll get to see him thrive.

Off to bed here, adding another baby to the family for the weekend means we need to get some sleep.
