September has been a busy month. School started, thankfully that went not too bad. Karen didn't sleep for three nights before, she was so nervous. But things started out well. We have met with both the kids' teachers and the each seem to be in charge of their respective situations. Cameron is going 4 days this year and he was real tired by the end of the first couple of weeks but he is getting used to it I think. Karen, however had the granddaddy of all tantrums earlier this week. She wouldn't get dressed or let me brush her hair, she wouldn't get her coat on and go outside, she wouldn't get on the bus. And she wouldn't tell us the why she didn't want to go so we could just deal with it. So when we finally got her to school after way too much of her kicking and hitting me and screaming at us she calmed down and told us what was wrong. And it was petty too, not something she had to have a collossal tantrum over. She's for sale, y'know.  And we will throw in the other one for free. They come as a set.

On the other hand James and I got to go to BC for a bit of a vacation. It was beautiful and sunny. We got the grand tour and had a wonderful time, too bad we had to come home. Oh and I took lots of pictures. James and I are each a year older since I last blogged and my kitchen finally got painted. It's hard to believe that September is almost over and before I know it Halloween will be here in all of it's sugary glory. Anyways the kids are watching one of my favorite movies ("It seems to me that the frog and the bear are temporarily out of service.") so I had better go watch it with them. Oh, and by the way my cousin's baby is fine, they did a 2 hour 3D ultrasound and couldn't find any tumor. They said they must have just seen something else at the wrong angle. But she already knew that because a few nights before her teenage som had come to her in a "dream" and told her that he was okay. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, they worked wonders.
