Just Some Stuff

I've sat down to write a new blog post numerous times, but haven't been able to make the words flow well enough for my liking.  Thinking bullets are going to have to work for this one since this is the way my mind seems to be working right now.

• Scarlett started going to school for the full day this week.  She has been so excited to finally be able to eat her lunch at school (though she never finishes because she eats oh, so slowly).
• The kids are coming home sounding more and more Irish.  Scarlett was upset the other evening because Gray was being "cross" with her, and I hear things being described as "class" constantly.  Grayson has also taken to describing food as lovely, or "SO nice!" 
• I signed up for a sewing class at the Limerick College of Further Education.  I was pretty apprehensive about my first class last night, but I think I'm going to really enjoy it.  The class is titled "Curtains and Cushion Making" so I should be able to deck my house out once I'm finished, right?
• Grayson is back to soccer training.  It's so great to see him doing something he enjoys so much.  I've noticed definite improvements from last year.  Really hoping this is something he will stick with for years to come.  He expressed an interest in playing basketball here, so I found a league for him to sign up with.  He hasn't been too thrilled so far.  I think it has more to do with the fact the training time is on Sunday mornings, than Gray not wanting to play.  He seems a little overwhelmed with not having a day "off" to be at home all day and just hang out, which I completely get.
• I'm still trying to settle into my new normal of having my days to myself.  I haven't managed to get myself into a real routine yet, but I'm trying.  I am attempting to do something around the house every day, so that I don't have to spend entire days cleaning.  Floors one day, bathrooms the next, etc.  Hopefully with my sewing class starting I'll find myself with something other than cleaning to do.  
• Scarlett is 2 weeks into her ballet class and LOVES it.  She gets upset that she can't go everyday.  Her little friend, Eve, is in her class with her and it is so cute to see them dressed in their dance outfits together.  (Again, having trouble with uploading pics on the blog.  If you follow me on Face Book, you can see a pic of ballerina Scarlett there)

That's it for now.  Hoping I can get my head back in the game for some more frequent blog posts soon!
