We're still alive!

I know it has been forever since my last blog and for that I am deeply sorry.

Ok not really...

 
Life happens and people get busy. For me the blog was put on the 'Things to do at a later date' list. I think it fell somewhere after clean baseboards but before clean top of the fridge. Although I'm not really sure because the list was lost amongst a stack of papers which I am fairly certain was included as a task on the to-do-list titled 'Sort unmanageable mound of papers before it spontaneously creates a life of its own and proceeds to walk off with all identifiable information thus causing an inexplicable case of identity theft' ... most likely that task was near the bottom of the list.

 
So to recap the last 5 months:

Boy 1:

 
• Dioramas, test scores and report cards - yep he's a genius!

• Voted most artistic in his class, received multiple citizenship awards

• Goodbye TaeKwonDo. Hello guitar

• Braces in the near future

 
Boy 2:

 
• Field trips and class parties

• Voted best sense of humor (class clown) and insanely high math scores - That's The Brain's side of the family

• Lost 5 teeth - one at school - stepped on and crushed, one in a chicken sandwich - swallowed, one in a pool - never found it, two at home.

• Now convinced that I am the tooth fairy

• TaeKwonDo is on hold for the summer

• Wants to play the drums

 
Both boys will be going to summer camp (day camp) for two weeks. Swimming, canoeing, archery, hiking, I wish I could go!

The Brain:
  • Work
  • House Work
  • Work
  •  House Work
 Me:
  • Finals and projects - 4.0 still
  • Laundry
  • New furnace = Several days in the southern summer with no AC
  • Laundry
  • My big baby - our Great pyrenees - was attacked by a pit bull - Thankfully he is doing much better
  • Laundry
  • Currently getting ready to go to my favorite place on earth
  • which means I am doing ... laundry 

So that's it I think. 'Ya know it really doesn't seem like that much but I swear it has felt like an ever present whirlwind of activity around here.
I pledge to be a better blogger from here on out. Seriously, I mean it!
