Poor Katie! She has teeth coming in on the tail end of getting over a mild cold. Last night was rough, and she's extra clingy today. Add that to the fact that everyone was severely under-napped from our trip to the renaissance festival, and I am planning on keeping the kids close to the house today.

This week should be a good one though. We have play dates scheduled for Wednesday and Friday afternoon. Amelia has her MMO program on Tuesday and Thursday. I need to get my oil changed in my car, but otherwise, we're footloose and fancy-free.

We've been really good in getting lots of outside time the last couple of weeks since the pollen has settled down. Everyone's mood is so much cheerier with sunlight and romping outside. I feel bad that we have to hole up inside most of the day during the height of allergy season, but that's life.

I've scheduled summer programs for Amelia. She's taking a week of dance and crafts and a week of gymnastics. She's also scheduled for a week of soccer, but I'm not sure if we'll keep her in it. It's a class of 3-5 year old kids, so it may be a bit advanced. However, she's got a fierce kick and she loves to run. I think she'd groove on it.

Tom and I need to make a decision this week if he's going to try to fix a broken tile ledge in our bathroom or if we will outsource it. He's done a great job patching it so we can use our shower, but the whole shower stall could stand to be retiled. We have the money to do so, but it's a decent chunk of change. I think we should go ahead and get it done, but we keep vacillating. It's a case of Tom could fix it himself if he had the time.  However, this is a big project, and that's a lot of weekend hours that are better spent playing with the kids (and me!) and tackling other smaller projects. I find it nigh impossible to get home improvement projects done during the week. Amelia can entertain herself for periods of time, but Katie's only a year old.

We'll figure it out. :)

How many does she have? Jack has 12 all the way in. Teeth 13 and 14 are working their way down. 13 is a little more through then 14 but Jack has drool and snot and slight fevers from them.

We will probably take a nap here soon since he was so cranky from it all night long.

She has 4 now with 2 more coming in. She's taking her time with her teeth. We're also having the drool/snot/fever fun. Whee!

Here's hoping tonight is better for us both!

For the soccer bit, Ethan has played for the last 2 seasons on a team of 3-4 year olds. I wouldn't worry about advanced. At least here they don't keep score, or have any positions, even a goalie at that age. It is really about going out and having fun, chasing the ball around. It really is cute, and he has really enjoyed it.

It sounds like a hoot. :) I can't wait til she's old enough to join one of the peewee soccer leagues.
