An Update

I have been informed by my father (who called on an outdated number...hint, hint Dad) that I have not blogged in awhile. I guess I've just been so busy enjoying my life that I haven't had time to blog about it!

Let's see, since my last post was Easter Sunday, I've got mucho catching up to do. I guess I'll just hit the major highlights of the past few weeks. We took a trip down to Illinois the weekend after Easter, but left Rob at home to work. I will say that I don't think I'll be doing that again. Driving that far by myself was a little rough on my body and, well, I just really missed Rob! The kids had a wonderful time playing with their grandparents and a few cousins. The main reason for the trip was for me to do two SU workshops, but we had to cancel one because my sister went on bedrest for a bit. We still went over and visited her, so that was fun. The other workshop went well, but I forgot to bring a punch that was crucial to the card. Thankfully, one of the ladies had it at home and her husband brought it, but not until we were almost completely finished with both make 'n takes. Argh....not my finest hour, but at least everyone had fun and ordered lots. :)

Just to stay on the business theme, I had a great card night last week with seven in attendance. I'm having a workshop tonight and overall I'd say my business is really taking off. I enjoy it and love any excuse to stamp!

Mother's Day happened in these missing blog weeks. That wasn't much to write about, mainly because I was sick all day. I had a headache and some weird stomach problems. I did get treated to breakfast in bed and they bought me Lego Pirates of the Caribbean for the Wii, complete with my own little Lego Jack Sparrow.

We finished our school year on Monday of this week. I had one week left to go and the boys agreed to do some schooling last weekend so we could finish. Rob had to work on Saturday and Sunday, so it was the perfect time to work. They are both excited to NOT have to do school and I think I'm just as excited....if not more so!! I am planning to do a little schooling over the summer, but nothing real big. My goal is to keep working on Ben's reading skills and help Matthew get more confident in his math facts.

We do have a few things planned for the summer. The boys are signed up to take swim lessons in June. They are in the same class, so I'm hoping that will help with their confidence. If they both pass, I'm going to sign them up for the next level class in July. All three children will get to do the library reading program this year, which starts in June. Otherwise we plan to hit the parks and the beach as often as we can! I'm going to work on my scrapbooking and learn to braid hair. :)

We have found a fantastic babysitter. When Rob starting working second shift, I realized I need a sitter if I am to keep my business alive! The kids absolutely love her to pieces and I feel very confident in her abilities. Anna asks me almost every day when she's coming back.

I think that's all for the activities going on at our house. And I hope you're happy, Dad!!
