Boston's Orientation Day

Today went much better. Sophia was back on schedule, waking up around 8:30. She got a good morning nap, and that made all the difference. When she woke up from her nap she was laying on her side; almost rolled completely on her back. There is hope after all! HA! This morning the kids and I got the house cleaned up b/c the appraiser was coming at noon. So that left the rest of the day to relax until the evening chaos! We spent the day doing piano, reading, playing a little Wii, and the boys made forts and went on "treasure hunts". They like to pretend they are pirates looking for treasures. Ethan and Boston have their moments where they play really well together. Wish it were like that always. Guess they wouldn't be siblings if they didn't fight...right?!
After dinner, we headed off to Boston's school for orientation. He was really excited, but was bored after being there for about 20 minutes. He'll be in shock when he has to be there for 6 hours! Actually I was quite bored myself. That orientation stuff isn't much fun! I'm sure once he starts he will love it! Right now he is most excited about the fact that he gets to eat pizza in the cafeteria!
While we were there Aubrie got to meet her teacher. She originally got Ms. Johnson, who I was concerned about. She is really good, but really strict. I didn't think Aubrie would be good w/ the strict thing, so I called the school and they said she was actually in Ms. Morris's class. They haven't made the switch yet, so we are going to start her in Ms. Johnson's and if she doesn't like it, ask for the switch. Ben and I got a good feeling when we met her. Who knows, maybe b/c she was there and Ms. Morris wasn't! But we decided to give her a try.
When we got home we did the normal....went for a swim. Then our friend came over to show us this new home loan where we can pay our house off in 13 years w/ a cheaper payment! Yeah! By the time we were done it was past 11:00. Yikes, another late night!
