Good to see you all again.

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I somehow got locked out of my acct and just finally had time to figure out the whole thing and get back in here.

Life is good around here but I am starting to feel like we will never have any spring. As I sit here typing we are having quite the snow storm outside. It just keeps coming and coming. I have decided to go skiing again this weekend, we might as well take advantage of it.

Bug took ski lessons throughout Feb and Jan and has become quite the little skier. He has even done his fair share of black diamonds, he does OK with the steep ones but gets too tired on the ones with lots of moguls. It's amazing how quickly they learn at this age.

He has had some excitement the last few weeks, he got cast in a local children's theatre production of Annie (he will be one of the street urchins). It is a very minor role but that is perfect for his 1st time out, good experience with out too much memorization. Also he has lost his 1st tooth, of course now he thinks that he is SUCH a big boy. He looks adorable with the missing space in his mouth, but it won't last long since the adult tooth has already come through.

Homeschooling has gone great, he finished up most of his kindergarten curriculum at the beginning of this month, (everything but math). So he will be starting 1st grade around the beginning of next month, we are just waiting for all his new books to get here. He is very excited about this and has been telling everyone "I am almost in 1st grade" of course they don't realize that he means this literally and just assume he means the school year is almost done, that's OK at least I know what he means. He has been going to Sylvan for math just to get him up to the level he is in his other subjects, it has been two months but I am really starting to see the difference lately. We have just started addition and he has been doing fabulous with it.

Work is great, I moved my business back in Jan and it has been great. I have gained a few new clients and of course all my old clients came with me so I have been fairly busy, which has been good. Everybody there seems very nice, it has been a good move overall. Also Bug has been going to work with me more often since my mom has gone back to work and so far everybody there just loves him. They think he is too cute, of course I agree, but I suppose I am not an impartial judge.

My hubby and I are hopefully going out on a date tonight so I guess I better go get gussied up, have a good evening.

A day at the fair.

Image
We had a busy day today! 1st we tried to get a little schoolwork done, then Bug and I headed to our church for "Breakaway". This is a time for all the moms to get together once a month. We get to spend some time in prayer, some time talking and getting to know one another a little better and of course spend sometime eating, because when can a big group of women get together and there not be food involved. It was a lot of fun and they have changed the format somewhat this year, so it should be interesting. After Breakaway we headed to the fair and met Blue. Bug had such a blast riding the rides. He is of course now more that big enough for all of the kiddie rides, he even branched out and rode on some of the bigger rides in the afternoon. He was a little nervous at 1st so I told him to ask this girl if he could sit be her. Of course she said yea and you can see him chatting her up in the 1st pic. (If he stays as outgoing as he is now his teen years should be a breeze. ha ha ...

No Bug for the week

This week Bug is going to a VBS at a local church, it runs from 9-3. Which is very nice in a way but also very strange. I took him in this morning and hung out with him for a few minutes while he got adjusted, then I went to the grocery store. Which was all fine but when I had to pass back by the church to head home it felt weird not having him, then all day at home I went back and forth between enjoying my time getting things done around the house and checking to see if it was time to pick him up yet. I got there to pick him up about 15 min early and waited around anxiously, when he finally came out he looked so tired, he seemed to have a good time but he did say "they sang for HOOUURRRS" and did not get to go out and play on the playground, but he is looking forward to going back tomorrow. This will be a strange week without him home all day. But it will be good practice for him because he will be going to a campfire day camp in a couple of weeks where he will be picked up ...

Friends at last

My buddy Kat and her girls ended up coming to town after all. They got in at 1:30 this morning. We all got up around 9:00 and spent the day shopping, playing in the fountain at the park downtown, riding the sky ride, then we went and got Mani/Pedi's, so fun! Tomorrow we are headed out to the water park for the day. Yea! It is so nice to have her over, she even dyed my hair for me this eve. I think it turned out cute, it's hard to tell for sure until you wash and style it the way you normally do. It only took me just short of 3 years to get her to come over and visit me, but with all her complaints about the drive I am sure it will be another 3 years before she comes back, but I sure am happy that she is here now. Our bad news for the day is that our oven went kaput. My husband was cooking up Lasagana and it was taking forever. I checked on it and mentioned that the oven didn't feel very hot and so when he checked it 15 min later he realized that the element went out on it. ...
