So what do you blog about when there is nothing to blog about?? A great question I ask myself....I don't really know yet so today my blog will be...about today. Two big things happened today, Matthias got his first bank account, and Asher ran away for the first time....one thing at a time.
Matthias is 13 now and has been doing some small jobs this summer earning some cash, that combined with some awards he won at the end of the school year this year put him over the top at $300!! That's a lot of money for a kid who really doesn't grasp the money concept well yet and tends to lose it as a result...(if I had won money to do school work I likely would have done it way more often and with more effort!!) So he decided he wants to save for his own laptop and we decided a bank account was in order. This turned out to be more compicated than it sounds. The reason being is that the name he recognizes as his and uses daily and his legal last name are two different things. Not fun. It took some sorting out but by the end of the day we got the account open for him, he has his very first bank card, and we've come to the conclusion that the time has come to get the ball rolling on his legal name change so who he identifies himself as and his name are both one and the same!!
Now to Asher, my sweet wants to please everyone 4 year old. He has been learning to ride his bike, very exciting!! However today something went awry with his sister and he decided to run away. This happened while I was at the bank with his brother and they were all hanging out with their uncle...So being 4 and putting the thought into it that he did...he ran all the way to...drum roll please...home. Yup, he defiantly ran HOME! This was a big deal, Jaelle was freaked right out! Omg mom...(the message she leaves on my cell), Asher RAN AWAY! I should mention that we live 3 houses apart and we can see each others' house from the end of each of our driveways. Once I found out the whole story it was sort of anticlimatic...but funny just the same. Asher was very serious in his explaining of his running away
Now it is just about bedtime at our house. Dinner's been cleaned up. Crayons too (that the little kids and their cousins were throwing in the air and having shower down on them), teeth are being brushed and Jeshie is using a bubble wand as a weapon so it's definetly time for him to go to bed, he gets bad when he's tired. This is often my favourite time of the day as all I can think of doing by now is just sitting...glorious sitting and off my poor sore, tired, feet.
Well that pretty much sums up our day today. Did I mention I had deep fried dill pickles for lunch, yum.
See you soon!!
