Chronicles of Riddick...aka Lino

Week 2 The second week of school was all about our precious boy Lino.  He is having a rough time...or at least he is making us have a rough time with him.  The week started out normal but that doesn't mean good.  Lino has a way of picking just enough to make you want to strangle him...especially when he is bothering Shaun.  Those two are always at each others throats then later they are loving on each other.  I know that is the way of siblings...heck I was like that with my sister too but man is it annoying for the parents.  So every morning our travels to school consist of taking a bus and a train in which we have to use are MRT cards to get on/off.  It never fails that Lino seems to always be first.  Not that that is a bad thing it is just interesting that he is always first.  Now Shaun is the slow poke of the 2 that is for sure but sometimes you would think Shaun would get there first but he doesn't.  The reason isn't just because...

The first week of school is complete!  It is hard to say if the boys had a good week or not because they are so worried about getting to the pool or getting ice cream that I can barely get any information out of them after school.  Lino seems to still like his teacher but I am worried that this is not going to work out well.  Only time will tell with this teacher situation but my gut tells me it is going to be a long semester.  The good thing is that Lino has made a few friends already…as expected.  Actually it was funny because on Thursday when we were getting off of the train one of his classmates was getting off at the same time and she was screaming after him!!!  They walked all the way to school together which was nice but then just before we got to the gate Lino tripped and fell.  He scrapped his elbow and his forehead!  I was actually pretty impressed because he didn’t scream as loud as he normally does…you know…like someone is trying to p...

Here comes the BOOM! First days of school

The time has almost come for the boys to start school...they are both really excited which is good.  Today we have to go to the school for Lino to do his assessment but we also have our temporary furniture being delivered at the same time.  We tried to rescheduled the furniture delivery but it wasn't possible so now we are rescheduling the assessment.  Of course I feel like we have a lot of time to do stuff but the reality is that we don't but I don't want to rush the boys to much either.  Mike got up to go to work today (first day back in a while) and we have to take the rest of the stuff from the hotel to the apartment...but after breakfast!  The boys are excited to move into our place but I am still pretty nervous about the windows and balcony's.  I know this sort of thing is common but they are just not use to it so I worry that the novelty and excitement of it will make them even more reckless than normal...God please don't let someone get the idea to...
