Another day with sore throat. Maybe the weather...40's last week, 90's this.

The kids are finally settling into their new surroundings. Things are calm and everyone is in a routine now. My sleeping pattern has been a bit off. Probably the naps in the afternoon. Need to not lay down to read when the boys do or I fall asleep.

So the interesting thing about Tourette's and Autism is the compulsion to say bad words. Luke is now 9 and Isaac 8...I'm hearing things like suck my balls, douche bag, son of a bitch, retard!!!!!!!!!!!! So I wash their mouths with soap...but it doesn't seem to be working. SO any other MAMA's have ideas, let me know! I think hard labor will be next on the list of punishments.

We bought a coconut and some pomegranates for the boys to investigate for this afternoon. They threw the coconut off the balcony with no luck. I wonder what the neighbors downstairs think. Eating pomegranates has proven to stain shirts...mixed opinions on the taste. Seems like a lot of work to eat!

We are loving our afternoons listening to Adventures in Odyssey and playing with Lego's. I have found that Luke will do ANYTHING (including reading) for a pack of Pokemon cards! YEAH!!! School is going better for him now that I found a hot spot! His overall moods have been very level...thank the Lord.

Boys begging to go to the pool...better be off.
