Ok, I know I'm on the verge of getting sick, or am in the early stages. I wonder if I should think about buying some of that stuff my mom swears by...I think it's A1rborne or something? I just have sniffles and sneezes now, so I'm hoping it just remains in my nose and blows over soon...HA!

Eb@y auctions are going well. Though it's sad to sell off jewelry, I'm just not a big jewelry person and this was stuff I bought for myself and really hardly ever wear, so it's okay. I won't miss the toys, and I don't think Noah will either even though they are mostly his. He is so much into trains and books anyway. I have never seen a child at this age more into books than Noah. He is constantly coming up to one of us with a book and asking us to read to him...over and over again. It's cute and I admit I'm so going to miss these days soon I'm sure. I wonder if I've got a little bookworm on my hands already? I know I loved books when I was little too.

Noah's favorite word these days is "Help" and he is always asking for "help" with something.

Nicolas had to come up with 100 things yesterday in honor of the 100th day at school. Of course, being the good parents, we completely forgot about that project until about 7pm last night. Frank made the suggestion of Leg0s, and then wanted to build something out of 100 of them and got mad that all of the sets of legos were mixed together by our son for the most part. So he ended up making something up, but we lost track at some point of the count of legos due to Nicolas taking some out and putting them back so who knows how many he really took to school with him today. I am sure the teacher will know it wasn't Nicolas who built the airplane, even if he helped pick out and count the 100 leg0 blocks. Boy, there is just no way I'm even considering Sc1ence fair this year. I'm not even mentioning it to Nicolas. From what I understand from the other parents of the bus stop, it only gets worse with the homework and projects as they get older, so I feel like I will delay it for as long as possible. I'm not looking forward to going back to school again. There's a reason I never finished Grad school. It's just not my thing.

Ok, just an hour left here and then I'm off! Get to go home and check my auctions tonight, hopefully most people will pay soon and I can start mailing out stuff this week.
