Rainy weather!

Why is it that rainy days make your day gloomy? I guess it is the gray skies with ZERO sunshine. Granted, yes we do need the rain. And...I have known that we were going to be getting rain thanks to our trusty weathermen! :) But...why is it that rain makes you gloomy. I guess it is true when they say your body needs energy from the sun! I know I could have used some sunshine in my life today!

Two more weeks until Thanksgiving break! Thank goodness! We don't have much planned. I will be celebrating my 30th birthday that Monday. Not sure what my wonderful husband has planned, but I am sure it will be special. He always makes me feel like a princess on my special day!

I got Owen's test report back from Pre-K. He is in a readiness program with his preschool, which tracks him through the 5th grade, I believe. Anyways...though he is doing wonderful with numbers and "math", he is struggling with his letters. You ask him to sing the alphabet and he does great. But...when you randomly point out letters, he doesn't quite get them all. I know he is "only" 5 but it is amazing what they expect children to know going into kindergarten. Man! Things have changed since I went to Kindergarten!

Elijah is doing great! Trying to keep up with big brother. Just over the last week or so, he has learned to focus more when coloring and is staying in the lines really well. We are impressed. He is learning his alphabet as well, and LOVES the letter E. Anytime he sees an "E", he points to it and yells "That is an E like in my name!" It is too cute!

Well...I have rambled enough! Until later...gotta go get the boys out of the bath and mop up the water that they have managed to splash everywhere on the floor!
