Mason in soccer

We put Mason in soccer a few weeks ago, and I just don't think it is his thing. Oh well. Hopefully he is having a fun time!

The Boys Room

I have made my first attempt at painting. When we first moved into our house, there was a really cute wallpaper border on the wall, but unfortunatly, part of it had been ripped off. Then, one day last year, the boys were playing up there, and they told me to come upstairs to see a "surprise." The suprise... they had climbed up on the dresser, and ripped down most of the remaining wallpaper.

Instead of replacing the wallpaper, I decided to paint a road on the wall, to match the car theme of the room. It's not perfect, and it needs to be touched up, but I am pleased with how it turned out.

Bus Update

I decided that this is the week that Mason is going to try riding the bus home from school. (He rode it home on the first day of school, and threw up on the bus.) The weather has cooled down(yeah!) and I thought that the heat was one of the things that was making him sick.
So we tried this yesterday. I was so anxious waiting for the bus. When the bus finally got here, Mason came off the bus beaming! He exclaimed,"I didn't throw up Mommy!" The bus driver said he was so proud of himself the whole way home. I am sooooooo relieved. Hopefully he can keep it up.
Other good bus news. The bus driver that picks him up for school has agreed to pick Mason up in front of our house rather than the bottom of the street. That makes my life so much easier! It was kind of nerve racking to take all the boys down there and wait by that busy road.
Mason is doing great in Kindergarten. He really likes his teacher, and looks forward to school every day. I am so happy he is having a good experience.
