TGIF!!!

Well, the kids have survived a week of school! Cameron LOVES school!!! He didn't want to come home on monday! He is such a different kid than he was even a year ago. He used to hate going and it would take him about a month to get used to any changes, but not anymore. Ethan has been enjoying 4th grade too. He has had a bit of homework but not too much...not yet anyway! He starts soccer this coming monday, he has really been looking forward to playing again. I am not looking forward to trying to keep Sloane off the field during games- it will be interesting for sure. We were thinking of getting Cameron into soccer but jim is working alot this fall so if there are games it 2 cities, I cant stretch that far so we decided to wait until spring when Jim will be home on weekends more.
Sloane is doing well- she isn't minding being home alone without the boys as much as I thought she would. She is talking alot these days, nothing clear but Jim and I usually know what she is saying. Of course now that I am trying to think of what she says I cant think of many of her words- go figure! She says shoes, fish, baby (daaada),no(nanananana), night night(nini), boo! and a bunch of animal noises- elephant is her favorite!

I got my hair permantly straightened last week. It is soooo nice to not have to straighten it myself now. Unfortunately, it stripped the color out of my hair so I had - god forbid- brown hair for a week now!!! AND I wasn't allowed to pull it back because it would crimp my hair (do you know how many times in a day Sloane pulls my hair???) but finally today I am going back in to have it colored so I will be red again- yeah! Just in time for the big concert tomorrow night- Depeche Mode, here I come!
Shoulder surgery is set for next thursday- I am so ready for it. The hospital was nice enough to call me yesterday (1 week before my appt) to inform me that I have to bring $1200 with me for my copay. Niiiiice! Not a problem, dont we all just have an extra grand laying around the house??? jerks!
