Yesterday, both Kyle and Marcie came home with "Terrific Kid" stickers on their shirts. Kyle got the award for working hard to learn to write (and spell!) his last name (we all know that's an accomplishment!). Marcie got hers for being a willing helper. This is a program sponsored by the local Kiwanis club. I guess teachers nominate kids and the principal makes a certificate for each one that is signed by the teacher, principal and a Kiwanis club member. The kids get the certificate and a terrific kid pencil. The principal presents the certificates to the kids in their classes. Marcie and Kyle were thrilled.
Kyle scored a goal in soccer this past Saturday. The first game he has ever played and he scored a goal! Unfortunately, I wasn't there to see it because I was at the children's toy and clothing sale at church. The kids had a sitter at home and I dropped Kyle and Charlie off at Charlie's soccer game (earlier than Kyle's). My brother transported Kyle to his game and Charlie home, then went back and picked up Kyle (the person who was supposed to get him couldn't and I had to call my brother again. Thank goodness he was home!). I dropped Marcie off at her dance practice and another parent brought her home. I am thankful to all of these folks for helping. It was a bit anxiety-producing for me, though, because of all of the loose details.
Speaking of dance, Marcie is performing 3 dances in a competition this weekend. I have to have her at the Richmond Convention Center by 7am with hair and make-up done. I'm wondering how I will even have her out of the bed by then because she is definitely not a morning person. Her first dance is at 10:46 and the last one at 5:27. It will be a long day -- and even longer because I will have all 4 kids with me. Charlie and Kyle will have to miss their soccer games because I can't 1) afford another sitter for a whole day, 2) there are very few people who could take care of diabetes so Kyle can't be left for a whole day, and 3) send Marcie with someone else because that person will have to dress her and get her to each dance. It's just too many details! Boy, I sure do need a nanny!

We have no plans for Saturday...I don't know if I could do Kyle's insulin all day but would be willing to try. We could even have a couple stay over Friday night if you want...I'll email you.
