This blog has become a quarterly thing. Kellan's already had two quarters of school. He and either Jim or I get up every morning at 6AM and get him going. He takes the bus to school for a 7:30 AM start. It's pretty tough. I have no idea how Zos will ever make it up. I've been lucky to get the opportunity to work from home two days a week, so those days I roll out of bed, get him ready for school then roll on upstairs to work. Other than a weekly agility/training class Kellan and Zoe take it's been strange without any baseball. Kellan's fall team finished up in 3rd place.
Let's see, Kellan turned 11, Zoe's even turned 9, but I'll save that for the next post (probably when she's 9.5 at this rate). Dexter's been loving kindergarten. All three have been loving school. Kellan has been working really hard. He made honor roll first quarter and though his math and science grades went up this past quarter his language arts grade went down and missed it this quarter, but we know he worked really hard and is learning a lot. Zoe tested really high in math again and was bumped up to fourth grade math and reading. I think for the first time she's feeling challenged and isn't too happy. We're making her stick with it though.

| Zoe wears Seahawk's attire to school probably 3-4x per week (after X-mas I see that increasing). And she doesn't like to brush her hair. |

Jim is threatening to cut down our willow tree which will make me very sad. A good portion of it fell on the tree house and there's a concern it will fall on the neighbor's house.

| Zoe's choir outing at Coors Field. They sang the National Anthem with about 500 other kids. We were pretty impressed she made it getting up at 7 30 AM twice a week for three months! |

| Really, Kellan does have other clothes, but for some reason the few pictures I take of the kid, this is what he is always wearing. First day of school 2014. |

So I posted the first day of school video on You Tube a bit ago. I don't typically go to my You Tube channel, so to find it this time, I searched on Kellan Munholland. I found this video (below). Along with Kellan posting videos to my account, he must have at one time started posting them to his account (he has an account?) This may be coming down too because when he realized I found it, he was pissed! When I said I was going to post it, he was even more pissed.

| Dexter kept telling me, "Take the picture I am smiling" |

| Who we were rooting for. |

| Zoe's goals for me...I can't even remember the context, I don't think there was one, she just decided I needed some direction. |
Can you guess whose are whose? These kids play hard. It's been really mild here, some snow and cold temps mid Nov., but that's about it, was 70 the same week it snowed.
Past kids' quotes:
Kellan to Mom discussing costumes for the Rockie's Star Wars day game.
Kellan: "Are you really going to wear a R2-D2 t-shirt and beanie?" "That will be so lame."
Mom: "Kellan, I am a 42 year old mother of 3, do you want me to wear the Princess Leia slave girl outfit?"
Kellan: "That should be illegal." "You should wear the R2-D2 t-shirt."
Dexter to Jim on one of the few days Jim wasn't wearing a hat.
Dexter: "Dad, you need to wear a hat to cover your spot."
Dexter to mom. (The kids are still very into music, sometimes I don't know what they are talking about)
Dexter: "Mom, what's that Imagine Dragon's song?"
Mom: "What song?"
Dexter: "Not 'Radioactive', the other one, the one they play at the Rockies games and on the radio?"
Mom: "I have no idea"
Dexter: "Oh! 'Demons', I'm going to go ahead and sing that song - When the demons come, don't let the beast in..."
